BOARDS DECISION
Preparations Under Way Now
for Parleys.

CHICAGO, April ,16.-Steps toward
working out the compromise decision"
rendered by the Federal Railroad Labor
Board on the question of national agree
ments were taken by railroads of the
country today. Preparations were made
to call local conferences between employ
ers and employees Of the various lines
to draw up all local agreements on which
an understanding can be reached.
On July l. the board will set up>rules
for such groups that have not reached
an agreement The present national
agreements force now shall terminate on
that date.
Both labor and employers today contin-
ned to claim victory by the decision
Business men generally regarded the
mlddle-of theFoad decision as a stimu-
latlng influence. 1t was regarded as
opening the way to place railroads on
paying basis by some bankers. Shippers
declared it finally should result in lower
ing Of freight rates, which they believe is
necessary 10 a resumption of business on
normal scale.
The railroad board will tackle the sec
ond big problem IN the railroad adjust
ment question on Monday when it hears
arguments on the petition by roads foI
wage reductions. Heads Of all big four
railroad unions are expected to attend.

DECIDES CASE
IN ARBITRATION
JacOby Sustains Prevailing
Scale Of Indianapolis Typo
graphical Union.

The eight-hour day AMI prevailing
working conditions were sustained by
Elias ]. Jacoby, fifth member of the
board of arbitration. which has been
considering the contract between the In
dianapolis Typographical Union and the
newspapers of Indianapolis for the last
two months
The decision, given yesterday, denies
the application of the union for a higher
scale and the application of the newspa-
pers for a reduction of 10 per cent in
the scale Under the award the prevail
ing scale and working conditions will
continue for the year 1921, although
either party to the arbitration may ap-
peal to an international board.
In arriving at the decision the cost Of
living as shown by United States Labor
reports for a period ending Jan. ! played
an important part, the arbitration board
refusing to consider changes in the cost
of living after Jan. l. 1921, the date when
the present scale became effective.
The publishers have filed a dissent from
that part of the award pertaining to the
wage scale.

Noteworthy among the musical events
Of the week was the concert given last

by the Indianapolis Woman's Chorus,
assisted by John Quine, baritone. The

sloual musicians OF the city.

BOOK BRANCH
8 CAN'T SUPPLY
8 EVERY WORK
Haughville Library, However
Sees Relief as Result Of
Donations.
PATRONIZED BY MANY

.Have you a book about the stars p
Gould l get a book about forest
nres?"
q II want a book giving the history of
some author and quotatio1 from some
of his writings. Can I get it hereF''
s "Are there any books here that tell
about trees?'
& did you get that book about the In
dianapolis buildings that l wanted :"
Z "Have you a book about Spain =
Thus the questions came thick and
fast and the librarian Of the Haughville
Branch. Miss Catherine Bailey, and her
assistant, Miss Helen Rankin, are kept
busy trying to fill the demands. Many
snakeshifts had to be made and many re-
quests could not be granted It all.
8 For instance, there was no book on the
shelves about the consultations; only
one small book dealing with the stars.
DONATIONS WILL
GIVE RELIEF.
: The patient librarian did find book
of quotations from the writings of vari-
Gus authors. AS the request for quota
lions had come from several children
soon four little heads were bending over
the precious volume, while other claim
ants awaited their turn.
. The book situation viii be greatly
changed by the liberal donations made
in the recent campaign which the In
aianapolis public library carried out so
successfully However, it is the hope Of
the management that the good work will
Continue.
An hours visit at the Haughville
branch library was a revelation, disclos-
ing as It did the relationship between the
public schools and the library and the
dependence of the former upon the lat
ter. Naturally, the majority Of the re-
quests listed above came IN connection
with the school work of the children.
SEVENTEEN REFUSALS
IN, ONE HOUR.
g OF the seventy-five calls made for books
within the hour Of the visit seventeen
mad to be refused because the desired
volumes were not available. Mind you,
the seventy-fve calls were not for story
books; they were for strictly educational
works. The popular Juvenile story books
are in use all the time and are seldom
put upon the shelves at all. They are
literally snapped among the eager read
ers.
The Haughville branch, which is To-
Gated in one room of the K. of P. Build
Ing on Belle View place, just of West
Washington street, is one of the busiest
libraries in the city. On rainy days the
line Of applicants often extends from the
desk in the back part of the room to the
door and out onto the sidewalk.
LIBRARY Is AID
TO FOREIGNERS.
1.-The residents of the district, many Of
Chem foreigners, thoroughly appreciate
The library. To many of them it is the
only means Of securing good literature
In the English language. The adults
usually call for the classics. Two thirds
of the children who patronize the library
are of fOreign-bOrn parentage.
MANY librarians must work to keep
eup their circulation; we must work to
keep up with our circulation" is the
way Miss Bailey sums up the situation.
1t is a labor of love, however, for the
librarian and her assistant feel that the
sHaughville branch is appreciated and
that It fills a real need in the community.
