TEST RAIL RIGHT
TO LET CONTRACTS
To OUTSIDE FIRMS
CBy Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Dec. 1a-The right of
railroads TO co:tract work to firms or
persons not unaer the jurisdiction of
the United States labor board, went
to test before the board today. The
federated shop crafts, the United
Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way
Employees and railroad shop laborerS,
Joined forces in lodging complaints
a gainst the farming out of shop work
claiming that the system is a sub
terfuge to violate the transportation
act
George Hanauer, vice president and
general manager of the Indiana Har-
Dor Belt railway, was the first wit
ness, through whom Frank P. Walsh,
attorney for the railroad crafts, at
tempted to prove that contracts be-
tween the railroads and other persons
were not made in good faith.
Mr.. Hanauer's testimony dealt with
contracts made between the Indiana
Harbor Belt line and the Burnham
Car company, for construction and re-
pair of the railroads cars. The work
was let. Mr.. Hanauer asserted be-
cause it would be done cheaper than
the railroad could do it. Contracts
were awarded by him, he said, with
out obtaining competitive bids and
without submitting the matter to the
board of directors.

MARTINSV|LLE MAN
IS CHOSEN INDIANA
DISTRICT ATTORNEY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. - Senator
Harry S. New, of Indiana, announced
today that George M. Eberhart, of
Ind, who retires from the
bench of Huntington county circuit
court, Jan. l, had declined appoint
ment as United States district attor-
ney for Indiana. The appointment
was rendered to him last spring by
Senators New and Watson. He ac-
cepted at that time.
Senator New stated that after Judge
Eberhart had announced his decision
not TO accept the district attorneyship
the position was offered to Homer Ell
lott, an attorney of Martinsville, Ind,
whose acceptance was received today.
1t is expected that Elliott will take
over the office Jan. 1, succeeding Fred
Won Nuys of Indianapolis, Democrat.
This will depend, however on whether
Elliott's nomination is confirmed by
the senate before that date.
Judge Eberhardt gave his reason fol
declining the appointment as district
attorney his desire to engage in the
practice of law at Huntington after the
first of the year. Homer Elliott is one
of the best known attorneys in south
ern Indiana, it is said, and has always
been an active Republican worker
The district attorneyship comes within
the patronage of Senator New.
