COMMISSION GRANTS
INCREASES IN Rates
FOR ELECTRIC PLANT

Increased rates for electric current
by the municipal electric plant operat.
ed by the city Of Richmond were au-
thorized by an order of the public
service commission issued today. The
commission, in granting the petition
Of the city, made allowances for in
creased costs of labor coal and ma
terials.
Lighting rates were increased ap-
proximately "a per cent; municipal
lighting rates were increased approx
imately 80 per cent and new
schedule was provided for current
used in cooking. Power rates were
increased 55 per cent under the de-
mand schedule and SO per cent under
the increment schedule. Special rates
were established for rural service fur
nished by the municipal plant.
Labor Costs Factor.
Increased labor costs of more than
100 per cent are indicated by evidence
submitted by the city. Large in
creases in the salaries of clerks, en-
gineers, and many other employees
were pointed out by the city.
The city or Richmond was ordered
10 Set dSlue dlludlly lOl uepl SCltLlOll
31h per cent, Of the value of it's de-
preciable electric property including
future additions and betterments, and
rules were provided for it's deprecia-
ton fund.
No electric utility purchasing cur.
rent from a municipal utility should
be served at a rate which places on the
municipality and its patrons any bur-
den or loss, the order specified.
Discusses Liberty Plant.
In regard to the Liberty Light and
Power company, the order says:
"The commission further finds that
the Liberty Light and Power COM
pany while accepting electric energy
at the primary side of the switch
board, and Offering continuous con-
sumption during the twentyfour hour
period, should not be given prefer
entail classification; that the city OF
Richmond, in its capacity as a public
utility, should not render service to
the Liberty Light and Power company
for the delivery of electric energy to
other towns and communities served
by it, at a rate that places said mu
nicipality and it's patrons in the posi-
ton of bearing a burden or loss; that
said Liberty Light and Power com,
pany, and it's consumers do not in any
wise participate in the obligations, ell
ements of hazard, etc, which attach
to the city of Richmond and its tax
payers in the establishment and OF
Grafton of the plant; that. weighing
all elements, the proposed schedule
does not lay an unfair burden on
said Liberty Light and Power com
pany, and that there is no necessity
for a special classification for rates
to other public utilities"

FAILURE TO APPOINT
SPECIAL CITY JUDGE
PREVENTS TRIALS

1t developed Tuesday when two
men, Leona rd Allison and Gus Kroma,
were brought into city court to an
swer charges Of violating the city or
dinance against lettering, that Rich
mond at this time, with Mayor w. w.
Zimmerman out Of the city on a 80
days leave of absence, has no city
court judge.
B. c. Robbins, after exa mining the
statutes. decided that Allison and
Kroma could not be arraigned on the
charges preferred against them.
The two lettering cases constituted
the first embarrassment experienced
by the city as a result of the mayor
a abandoning his official duties to
leave the city for the purpose Of TAX
ing treatments at a sanitarium in a
nearby town.
Mayor Fails To Appoint
It was the general understanding
the mayor had with council before he
was granted his three months vaca-
ton that the mayor was to appoint a
special Judge of the city court, the
salary Of the special judge to be paid
by the mayor, with the understand
ing that the mayor would continue to
receive his own salary while absent
from his duties.
1t was learned Tuesday, however,
that S. K. Morgan, who has been
presiding over city court is not serv-
ing as special judge, that he is merely
acting as a justice of the peace and is
conducting his justice court at the
city building instead Of his own
offices.
Has No Authoritv
City Attorney Robbins, after consid-
ering the charges made against Allison
and Kroma, expressed the opinion that
Morgan is not special city Judge, and
that as justice of the peace Morgan
has no authority to hear cases in
volving the violation of the city
ordinance.
Mr.. Robbins cited the fact that
under the law it is provided that in
cities of the third class, in which Rich
mond is included, council may desig-
nate the mayor to serve as city court
judge. This action has been taken by
the Richmond city council. The law
further provides that the judge Of the
city court shall have ''exclusive" juris-
diction over cases resulting from
violations Of city ordinances.
In the event the city court judge.
who, in the case of the city of Rich
mond, is the mayor, cannot preside
over the court for any reason he has
the authority, under the law, to ap-
point an acting city court judge. How
ever, Mayor Zimmerman neglected to
do this.

DEMOCRATS CONFER
TO SELECT MAN TO
MANAGE CAMPAIGN

COLUMBUS, O., July 20-Choice
of commanding officers for the Demo
cratic battle front and determination
of major features of the campaign
confronted the Democratic national
committee as it assembled today for
it's first important business session
since the San Francisco convention.
Wishes of Governor Cox, the presi-
Dental nominee, were paramount
among the committee members and it
was planned to invite him and Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, vice-presidential can
didate, to the meeting, set for IL
o'clock at a local hotel.
Governor Cox announced today that
Edmund H. Moore. Ohios national
committeeman and the governors
convention manager, had definitely
and finally refused the craftsmanship
of the national committee.
The Democratic national committee
unanimously adopted resolutions urg-
ing ratification af the federal woman
suffrage amendment by the Tennessee
and North Carolina legislatures.
Prefers Moore
Although the governor had eX-
pressed himself for Mr.. Moore and ar
ranged to confer with him before the
full committees session to urge his
acceptance, friends of both doubted
whether the governor could overcome
his objections to taking over the cam
paign, with its personal sacrifices. In
the event of Mr.. Moore's final declina- l.
tiOn, many committee members eX-
pected the reelection of Mr.. Cum
minis.
Also on the committees calendar
was the election of other officers, de-
termination of dates for notification
ceremonies and general travelling
plans for both nominees, selection of
headquarters and campaign financing
plan.
Other Officers
The present committee officers. be-
side Chairman Cummings, are: Vice
and Samuel B. Amidon, Kansas; sec
retary. Ed. G. Hoffman, Indiana: ex-
ecutive secretary. w B. Hollister,
Missouri; treasurer Wilbur w Marsh,
of Iowa; financial director, w. D.
Jameson. Reelection of most of
these was understood to be satisfac
tory to Governor Cox.
The committee now consists Of So
men and as many women. A major.
ity of the former only were expected
for today's meeting and many proxies
We're on file. The visitors, with other
prominent Democrats, were invited to
a buffet luncheon given by Mrs. Cox
at the executive mansion at Z p. m.

The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1920-07-20

Every one OF the 16 leaders or the
recognized unions were present when
the decision was handed down. They
left 2t once to hand down the award
to 1000 general chairmen. The union
presidents refused to make any COM
ment before the meeting.
The boards decision is retroactive to
May 1. AS the maximum increase
granted any class was Is cents an hour
or $3673 per month, the biggest pay
check due when the back pay is made
Aug. l will be for s11016.
Separate Checks
The board provides that the back
pay check shall be made out separate
ly so that each man will know the
amount he receives from that source.
Seven things were taken into con-
sideration, the preamble of the boards
decision says. They were: The scale
paid for similar work in other indus
tries; relations between wages and the
cost Of living; the hazards of the en-
ployment; skill required; degree of
responsibility; character and regu-
larity Of the employment; and any
quality or treatment of increases re-
sulting from previous wage orders.
Not Unanimous
The decision, Chairman Barton ex-
plained. was not a unanimous one:
some members dissenting on nearly
every section. The awards were by a
majority vote on each section, with
at least one member voting for each
award.
"The board assumes as the basis OF
this decision" the award says, "the
continuance in full force and effect of
the rules, working conditions and
agreements in force under the au-
thority Of the United States railroad
administration The intent of this de-
cision is that the named increases, eA-
cept as otherwise stated, shall be
added to the rates of compensation
established by the United States
railroad administration"
Ianore Outlaw Strikers
Demands Of the railroad men who
struck last April and formed new un-
ions are ignored by the board. No
reference is made to the strikers or
their demands. The board had refused
to hear representatives of the new
unions.
The decision provides that in case
of dispute as to the Interpretation of
| the decision that questions shall be
|
not require, however, that either side
must accept the award
The decision provides that the daily
| increase shall be computed as eight
times the hourly rate and the monthly
| increase at 204 times the hourly sched
| ule.
The new railroad unions which
called the series of strikes this spring
after their members had broken away
will submit the boards decision to a
referendum vote of their membership
