sertion. -
Business Men Back Strikers
The Polish and Lithuanian busi-
ness community is solidly with the
striking women and that helps to hold
the ranks, though at the bottom of it
all is the spirit of trade unionism and
a decision that the time has come to
put wages on a decent American
plane.
As for wages and working condi-
tions, this New Jersey county is al
most a cesspool in the heart of sur
rounding prosperity and relatively
high standards. The county, indus
trially, is dominated by Johnson &
Johnson, whose pharmaceutical pro
ducts are widely advertised, and by
the Michelin tire factory. The yell
low dog contract is the mainstay of
these employers and 30 cents an hour
rates as about the top wage Most
industries try to follow the lead of
these big fellows"
When the women walked out of the
General factory, where machine made
, cigars are produced, the company
recruited high school girls and got
an injunction, naming each Individual
striker as defendant. The injunc-
tion was modified to permit four or
five pickets, but it was specified that
these must remain 20 feet from each
other. 1t is out of this situation that
contempt cases are expected. The
company is said to have engaged its
high school contingent to heckle,
jostle and generally bedevil the
pickets so that out Of sheer self
protection they forgot the 20-foot
provision and went into a huddle,
where they were photographed by a
company employed photographer. The
pictures were promptly shown to a
vice chancellor and soon this digni-
tary will have his say as to how
serious the otfense may be.
The union claims that the produc-
tion rates of the factory, with its new
girl operatives, is falling down to a
small fraction of its rated capacity
and that the company is taking un-
usually vigorous steps to keep its
sales from following the downward
course. The stock of the company is
quoted in Wall street and this intro
duces another feature into the situa-
tion. Any sharp falling off in sales,
| it is whispered, might result in a
drop in stock quotations and this, it
is said, the company doesn't want to
happen
| The company turns out the Robert
Burns, White Owl, William Penn and
Van Dycke brands.
/ One of the interesting and unusual
paragraphs of the injunction forbids
! the defendants:
From inducing or compelling, OF
attempting to induce or compel, by
threats, intimidation, force or VIC.
lence, any parents or members of the
family of complainant's employees ,tc
cause or induce complainant's EN-
ployes to leave complainant's service
or to refuse or fail to perform theil
duties as such employees"
i 1t is charged by the union that {
number of the strikebreaker girls are
between the ages of IA and 16, re
quiring working permits from thu
state labor commissioner.

Police Discount Theories in
Search for Child at
Terre Haute.

Indianapolis police Monday were
led to believe that a coat found by
Hubert Rivers, Bargersville school
hack driver, in a road, might have
been that of Edith Mae Dierdorf,
10, missing West Terre Haute girl.
Communication by long distance
telephone with Rivers by The In
dianapolis Times few minutes
after detectives had left here to
find Rivers, weakened the theory
that the coat might have been that
Of the little girl. for it was found
to be of different color.
To make certain that a clew was
not being overlooked, however, po-
lice sent the coat to Terre Haute
today to be shown to the child's
parents.

bit, he admitted. He vas fixing his
wife and self a highball. The liquor
was in the glasses. But the bottle
of ginger ale was too warm. It
sputtered and fixed when he opened
it. He pressed a finger over the
bottle in an effort to save some of
the ginger ale.
The ginger ale kept on fizzing
and sputtered over, his wife's new
dress, That, according to Owens,
was the start of the fight, which re-
suited in his arrest on assault and
battery charges.
1t all happened because her dress
was spattered. She cried, 81 ought
to kill you" Then she hit him, he
said.
That wasn't quite all, said Mrs.
Ownes. He was drunk. SO drunk
she was ashamed to go out with
him. He choked her. She struck
him. Several witnesses told of
bruise marks on her throat.
Judge Saul Raab fined Owens SIS
and costs. The couple had been
married just one year and eleven
months to the day when the ginger
ale incident occurred, the judge was
told. Owens had been married
previously.

OPEN ARMORY
AND HIGHWAYS
PROBE TODAY
State Departments to Be
Asked to Put Records
Before Committees.

Two state departments under
legislative scrutiny were to be asked
today to spread their records before
PROBE committees.
All plans and specifications for
state armories constructed or under
construction were promised the
state board of accounts by Adjt.-
Gen. William H. KerShner, to be
inspected by the senate committee
created by resolution introduced last
week by Senator Thurman Gott-
schalk, Democratic member of the
budget committee.
At the same time, Representative
George w. Freeman of Kokomo ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with the re-
port of highway department ex-
penditureS submitted by John D.
Williams, highway director, last Fri
day in response to Freeman's reso-
luton instituting the investigation.
Detailed Report Sought
1.-THE report does not give the spe-
cific items, such as salaries and the
like which GO to make up depart
ment overhead expense" Freeman
declared 1--WE want to know what
those items are and the amounts
spent under EACH
Williams report set out that SUI
pervision expenses were 81 per cent
of the $16,000,000 expended by the
highway commission in the last ifs
cal year. The highway director in
formed the budget committee his de-
partment could expend 100000
more annually to speed highway
construction without increasing this
overhead ratio.
The highway department inquiry
was undertaken, under terms of
Freemans resolution, so that the
house might proceed with consider
alton of proposals for increasing
highway revenues in full possession
of the facts.
Investigation of the armory build
ing program was voted after Sena-
tor Gottschalk charged on the floor
that construction costs were excess
sive and that financing and con-
Struction of armories was carried
on through CLOSED corporation"
G. o. P. on High Horse
Senator Gottschalk himself was
the target for criticism sy majority
leaders of the upper house today in
a controversy that was to reach
Governor Harry G.. LeSlie's cham
berS.
Senators Denver G. Harlan, presi
dent pro TEN. of the senate, and
Luther o. Draper, Republican
budget committeeman, declared
they would ask the Governor how
Senator Gottschalg. a Democrat,
came to be selected for introduction
Monday of a measure establishing
definite state institutional policy.
| The bill would appropriate $780,
600 annually for an institutional
emergency building fund to elinl-
mate the necessity of institutions
carrying fire or other insurance.
Senators Harlan and Draper were
to ask Governor Leslie if he has an
administrative policy with regard
to the legislature, that was not en-
braced in his message to the as
sembly. Republicans are smarting
under the experience of watching
institutional measures come from
the Democratic side of the senate.

SENATE IGNORES
PARTY LEADERS,
ACTION PLEAS
Compensation Bill Sent
Back to Committee De-
spite G. O. p. Bosses.

Party leaders, Lieutenant Gov
ernor Edgar d. Bush and Senator
Denver c. Harlan, Richmond, presi-
dent pro tenn. of the senate, were
ignored by the Republican senators
today and, refusing to aceept their
advice, they voted to recomnlit the
controversial workmen's compen-
sation bill to Judiciary A committee.
Harlan had urged that the bill,
which was on second reading as
special business at 10 a. M, be
passed on or killed. Friends Of the
measure, fearing its defeat on the
floor unless committee changes
could be made, moved for its recon-
u1itment.
AS the argument waxed hot, Bush
took hand by declaring against the
practice of returning bills to COM
mittees or shifting them from one
committee to another when they
should be on the floor.
Efforts Are Futile
Efforts of both G. o. P. leaders
proved futile. Recommitment was
voted with 80 ayes to IA noes.
Senator Earl Rowley, La Porte,
whose time has been devoted to try
ing to have the measure, which
favors employees, killed, launched the
offensive against recommitment.
He based his OPPOSITION largely on
the fact that the printed bill bore a
Ii5er signed by Thomas N. Taylor,
president of the Indiana Federation
of Labor, and John Riddle, general
counsel for District IL, United Mine
Workers.
Il hate these damnable yelled
threats" Rowley declared, land I
don't care whether they came from
labor organizations or the Anti
Saloon League of Indiana. We
should not be forced to pass legis-
lation with a club over u.s.
Senator John H. Hewett, Terre
Haute, explained that it was
through mistake of his that the
rider was printed with the bill.
Senators Nejdl. Gray and Holmes
Dd4nCO ldFOLdOly lCSdI NlllS CIlS U9tl
and urged that it be recommitted.
Puts Over Minority Report
Committee reports occupied the
remainder of the morning and the
session started again at p. m.
Although a Democrat, Senator
Carl M Gray, Petersburg, single
handed, succeeded in putting across
his lone minority report from jul
dietary B committee to keep alive q
bill permitting prosecutors to COM
ment on the failure of the accused
to testify and to require joint trials
where joint indictments are re-
turned. Senator Sumner Clancy,
Indianapolis, chairman of the COM
mittee, talked for the majority re-
port Tor indefinite postponement, but
the bill went over to second reading
by a large vote.

SOCIAL STATUS
OF MRS. GANN
vExES CAPITAL
Senate Ladies' Luncheon
Club Meets Today to
Ponder Problem.
BY KENNETH G. CRAWFORD
United Press STAFF Correspondent

United Press STAN Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The
Senate ladies' Luncheon Club will
go into solemn executive session to-
day to solve one of the knottiest
problems Of the new administration
the social status of Mrs. Edward
E. Gam, sister of Vice President
Elect Charles Curtis.
Members of the club all wives OF
the United States senators, will de-
eide whether to make Mrs. Gam
their ex-officio president, an honor
automatically bestowed upon the
wife of the Vice President. Since
Curtis is widower and Mrs. Gam
is his official hostess, it must be de-
terrained whether she is entitled to
the same recognition.
Question of Importance
The state department, court of last
appeal in matters of precedence for
official society, has lodged the issue.
1t is understood appeals for an opin-
ion from the etiquette experts
among Secretary of State Kelloggs
subordinateS have failed to bring a
response. Their appears to be no
precedent for decision in this case.
This is question of some magni-
tude here. Wives of army officials
are extremely jealous of their prec-
edence, it is said, and incidents are
related of officials themselves leaving
parties in a huff when they consid-
cred their positions improperly rec
0gnized.
1t is proverb among Washing
ton hostesses that "she is a fool
who entertains diplomats and SUI
preme court justices together" Prec-
edence of justices and ambassadors
never has been finally determined
The social guide book, in discussing
their relative Importance, paren-
thetically warns hosteSseS that their
status is disputed"
The book is not ordinarily SC
vague, however. It states very def
nitely, for example, that senators
must be seated according to length
of service and that in case of iden-
teal tenure the senator from the
state first admitted to the Union
takes precedence over the repre-
sentative of a younger state.
Hoover May Decide
President Elect Hoover himsel1
may be the final arbiter in the
strange case of Mrs. Gam.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge en-
tertained at their last official din
ner ten days ago, Mr.. and Mrs
Gam were seated below the officials
and Hubert Work, former secretary
of interior and chairman of the Re-
publican national committee. Mrs
Gam husband, it IS pointed out
by the more pessimistic Emily Posts
will be a problem even after Mrs
Cams status is fully determined.
