Shank Suggests Board of
Works Refrain From
Signing Any Contracts
Relating to Proposed
Structure.
BUSINESS, LABOR ARE
TO GIVE SUGGESTIONS
Letter Says if Any Move to
Make Citizens Pay for Belt
Project Is Taken, Ogden,
Corporation Counsel, Will
Be Called In.

Weary of the deadlock be-
tween city representatives and
officials of the indianapolis
Union Railway Company on
question of proportionate costs
of 81 100000 Belt Railroad
bridge across White River,
Mayor Shank today asked the
board of works to seek coun-
sci of business and labor organ
izations.
Mayor Shank suggested that the
board refrain from signing any con.
tracts until advised by a Citizens
Track Elevation Committee" to be
Chamber of Commerce, Board OF
Trade, Merchants Association, Cen.
trail Labor Union and Indianapolis
bankers.
Warning to board that II 1t signs
any contract in which citizens will
have to pay all costs of bridge, he
will request James.L. ogden, cor.
poration counsel. ito bring court
proceedings to hold 1t up" was ex-
pressed in a letter written by Shank
to the board.
THE committee is to consult with
your board and the board is to re
ceive report of the majority of the
committee" Mayor Shank wrote.
A compromise whereby the Union
Railway Company will pay so per
cent Of the cost of the bridge, with
the city bearing 221a per cent. the
county 22M per cent and property
owners in the district per cent,
is possible. 1t was learned today from
a reliable source.
Construction of bridge has been
the bone of connection in a series of
conferences during the past week
because city officials have sought
to expedite the work, which must
be completed before south side track
elevation is started.

Awarded Baby That Father
Had Placed in Guardian
Home.

" MOTHERS love triumphsl
IA After two years of un-
III tiring effort to locate and
gain possession of her 2-year-old
son. Robert. Mrs. Mildred Flem-
ing, 20. or 957 w. Thirty-First St.,
today was happy because her
search was not In vain. Late
4 Thursday afternoon Mrs. Fleming
was awarded custody of the child
by Special Judge Fred McCallister,
following habeas corpus proceed
ings In Superior Court Four.
Rushing from the side of Frank
A. Symmes. attorney. the mother
eagerly grabbed her son from Mrs.
Clifford j. Collins, 32S Leslie Ave-,
and left the courtroom, followed
by her parents. Mrs. Collins, who
had obtained the child from the
Children's Guardian Home. 57S1
University Ave, when 1t was 2
months old, cried bitterly.
"Oh, can't give little Bobby
up she cried.
AS Mrs. Fleming hurried down
the Courthouse corridors the
child cried and tried to break away
from It's mother.
Mama, l want by mama" he
cried.
Father Unc0ncerned
Clifford e. Fleming. the boys
father, sat unconcernedly In the
courtroom a half-smile crossed his
face as the court made its ruling.
During the denunciation, part Of
which was aimed at himself, he
remained calm.
Looking squarely at Fleming,
Judge McCallister slowly said, If
you were a man with a spark of
manhood, you would never have
done such a thing. 1t was your
baby and up to you to take care
of It,"
Assumed Name Used
Evidence showed that Fleming
motored to Indianapolis in 1928,
with Mrs. Fleming and the infant
when 1t was eleven days old. He
took the baby from its mother
and through the juvenile court
made 1t a ward of the Children's
Guardian Home, 1t was said In
court Fleming represented himself
as Carl Kennedy and the baby as
Clifford. He told Judge Frank A.
Lahr that the mother was dead.
1T looks to me that some one
put 1t in your head that II you
got rid OF your baby and deserted
your wife for two years 1t would
be an easy matter to get a
divorce" said Judge McCallister
Mrs. Fleming was granted a
divorce from Fleming year ago
in Orange County.

NEW YORK, June 25-The press
ing problems that are facing the
Junior Section of the Young Workers
League at the outset of the summer
cannot be met and faced by our Jun
Tors unless they have the united sup
port of all the militant workers of
the city. We are sure that all the
adult workers of this city are ready
and willing to lend the greatest pos
sible support to the movement of the
working class children-but for this
support to be effective it must be or
ganized. For this reason, the Young
Workers League is calling a series
Of Section Meetings for parents and
relatives of Juniors and for all adults
interested in a real proletarian chill
dren's movement.
The meetings which will start at
500 p. m. sharp will discuss the
many important problems facing the
children's movement here-especially
the question of Junior Camp at
Camp Nitgedayget for which we have
succeeded in making arrangements.
All parents and relatives of Jun
iors,-all workers interested in the
proletarian children's movement
should be there.

call to Conference


Dear brother:-The situation con
fronting the shoe workers is serious
one. The bosses have started a cam
paign to cut wages. The capitalist
PRESS chambers of commerce, and
other bosses organizations are fight,
ing on the side of the shoe manufac
turers against the workers.
1.-THE shoe workers are divided in
many unions fighting among them
selves while great masses of shoe
workers are unorganized. The official
dom of the Boot and Shoe Workers
Union is openly cooperating with the
bosses to force cuts in wages. The
local unions of the B. S. in many
towns have been placed in Local O"
to keep the workers powerless
The greatest need confronting the
shoe workers today is amalgamation
of all unions of shoe workers and the
organization of the unorganized. Al
ready steps in this direction have
been been taken in the negotiations
between the American Shoe Union of
New York and the Shoe Workers
Protective Union. These negotiations
will lead to amalgamation Of these
two Independent unions because Of
the strong sentiment among the rank
and file for amalgamation.
I'm New England it is necessary
that the militants and progressives
among the shoe workers organize
their forces to, give the shoe workers
leadership in this situation. For this
purpose conference has been called
for Sunday, June 2Sth at D. m. in
the Russian Club, SO Stamford ST.,
Boston, Mass. This conference is part
of the campaign of the national com
mittee of the Trade Union Education
al League.
Local unions. shop committees,
and representatives Of factories are
invited to this conference. Our object
i've is to draw up program to help
the shoe workers to fight against all
wage cuts, and organize all militant
and progressive elements among the
shoe workers to supply leadership in
this struggle against wage cuts and
for amalgamation and organization of
the unorganized.
Send you delegates and make this
conference really representative OF
the rank and file shoe workers Of
New England. ase
Yours for Amalgamation,

yesterday and go into Canton, as fir
ing was probable.
Marchers Were Unarmed.
Firing did begin, the note points
out, when the parade Of Chinese stu
dents and workers, unarmed and
peaceful, appeared marching along the
Bund. When the paraders reached
point opposite the Victoria hotel in
the British concession, British and
French marines began firing. The fact
that so many Chinese were killed and
wounded was sufficient proof that
they had been shot down without
warning and wantonly by foreign
troops who were not endangered nor
obliged from the circumstances to
take such measures. That two for
eigners were later killed was merely
the result of the first provocation.
The foreign troops had been es-
pecially provocative against the Chin
ese who stood at the gates Of Sham
cen picketing to prevent the entrance
OF any Chinese servants. But the
pickets had ignored the provocation
and all trouble followed the firing
from the British concession upon un-
armed, peaceful paraders.
Sir Jameson replied to the note ac
cusing the Chinese of firing first.
