PROBE NON-ENGuSH
SCHOOLS IN COUNTY

The new school attendance law OF
the state is causing confusion in Lake
county.
The main provisions Of the law in
crease the age limit 10 Is years and
stipulate that all children up to that
age must attend a school conducted
in English
At meeting Of superintendents OF
the Gary. Hammond. East Chicago and
Hobart public schools held at Gary.
State Superintendent L. N Hines af
indianapolis said that ne had received
numerous written complaints from
Lake county people who said certain
private and parochial schools We're
not being conducted in English
1t developed that State Attendance
officer Blance Merry is coming 70
Lake county TO conduct an investiga-
ton.
Another difficulty in connection with
the attendance law exists in the rural
districts where the schools end with
the eighth grade A majority of tho
pupils graduate from the eighth
grade at the ages OF Thirteen. fourteen
and fifteen years and the law says
are sixteen. Can thay be forced -
travel many miles to the nearest town
and pay a tuition fee TO attend high
school? Must the state provide some
means of transportation? These are
questions puzzling the attendance Of

OPEN SHOP
CONDITIONS
ALTERNATIVE
Carpenters Are Holding Out
For S1.1O An Hour, Meet
Again Friday

Resolutions favoring g prompt get
ting together on the part of contractors
and building trades which have refused
to accept the Lands scale. with the
alternative of working under open shop
conditions II the new scale is turned
down. were passed today by the Ham
rnond Chamber OF Commerce at the noon
day luncheon.
While several of the crafts have not
signed up the new agreements, II was
reported that practically all of them
had given the contractors the impress
sion that an adjustment would be reach
ed soon. The craft which is presenting
the most determined opposition Is the
carpenters.
Last night at meeting OF commit
tees from the contractors and Carpen-
ters District Council. the carpenters
held out for s1.10 an hour. Another
session will be held Friday evening.
Members of the Kiwanis and Rotary
Clubs were present last night and Will
also sit in on the next session.
Chairman Jesse Wilson a the lunch.
con today reviewed the troubled his
tory Of the building industry in Ham
mond during the last yaar. He recall
ed the sessions which were held sew
eral months ago in endeavoring to get
the employers and workmen together on
a satisfactory wage. He characterized
the present situation as a disgrace to
the city of Hammond.
T. r. Tenant of the Board of Edu-
cation told of the situation at the
Industrial high school. He said the
board is standing back of the contrac-
tors in the present situation we are
only the servants of the people" he
said. and If the people believe that
We should pay SLIPS or IS an hour il
would be our duty to do IL. But I
don't believe any sane person will con-
slider the present attitude Of the car
penters justifable."
He expressed the conviction that
nothing could be arrived at in the pres
ent situation If the public waited until
the contractors and wxKmen fought
out their differences. THE time is ripe
for the open shop and we will never
get any place in this region until we
declare for the open shop"
Chairman Wilson called attention 70
the fact that the financial interests
have expressed willin gness to loan mo-
ney for building If the costs are CUT
down. but that under the old wage con
dations 1t would not be surprising If
they frightened up the purse strings.
Attorney w. J. Winery then pro
posed the motion that 1t be the sense
of the Chamber of Commerce thar the
contractors and craftsmen work under
the Lands decision which contains the
provision that crafts which do not ac-
cePt IL may be declared open shop.
Dr. ellis. John Croak and others did
not like the idea of the open shop
threat but when the vote was finally
taken only one mo" was registered.

STARTLING THEORIES
IN HANDCUFF MURDER

CHICAGO. Sept. l5-Out of a con-
fusing tangle of confessions. the police
today advanced two startling theories
in the gruesome ''handcuffed murders"
First. that neither Leon Parks, Clar-
ence Wilder. nor Milton Walker were
participants in the murders.
Secondly. that Mrs. Eva Church. mo-
ther of Harvey ". Church. the con-
fessed slayer. had knowledge of the
double killing.
Parks testimony was forced by
Church. police believe. The youth bab-
bled an incoherent and for the most part
meaningless confession In the manner
of one having been coached He was
interrupted by Church at several points
and meekly changed his statement to
conform. Church, one of the strangest
characters on criminal record here. is
believed to hold weird, hypnotic pow
er over Parks.
Mrs. Church. held under guard. has
been the victim of strange hallucina-
tions. Suddenly in the middle Of last
night. she demanded she be allowed to
see her son 10 urge him to tell every
thing he knows" She was taken to
him and they held long conference
Officials are be ginning to believe that
Church may be the only one implicated
In the brutal slayings. but are await
ing another statement by him today,
naming an accomplice.
