FACTORY MEN
ATTACK FIXED
POWER RATES
Manufacturers Aver They
Pay $4,000 Yearly
in Excess.

The indianapolis Power and Light
ComDaDv. through excessive de
r7and charges" Is getting more than
$4,000 q year from Indianapolis
manufacturers for power that they
actlalIv do not use. declared Albert
cchm0lIinger. attorney for a group
Of factory operators before Public
service Commissioner Howell Ellis,
today.
The manufacturers ask Tor the
adjustment Of the demand charge
system and substitution Of monthly
billing upon the actual amount OIL
power consumed.
The commission now permits the
company TO charge power users q
minimum fixed charge, based upon
the maximum load the consumer
might demand in some time Oh
stress on the theory the company
should be compensated for lnsteH-
ing equipment to meet this Load.
Harry Boggs. Of the accounting
firm of Hendrich & Boggs. the ace
witness for the power company oe-
clared that the annual revenue on
schedule ID" or fixed charge by the
company for 1923, was S480.59o.O7;
while if the manufacturers we're act
ually charged for the power con-
sumed and then billed monthly TINS
figure would be cut to s439 1881.
Unfairness Charged
During the course of Boggs' testi-
MANY SchmOlliuger questioned
Bopcs' right to testify on matters
within the purview q! an engineer
and not an account,r,, and 1t ap-
neared that there might be a heat
ed interchange bL,-ean him and
Charles ". Thompson. attorney ior
the power company, but Ellis called
them to order.
Lawrence Cummins. secretary OF
the Schwitzer-Cu Company
declared that he did not object TO
the demand charge. but that ne
could not see the fairness Of paying
for twelve months in the year on a
rate fixed on the amount OF power
consumed only during peak monlh'
He declared that Joseph Stipher
of the Power company traffic de-
partnent visited him two weeks ago
and told him that he was silly to
Join in the protest.
Charles wilson OF the Insley man
ufacturing company testified that
although the amount OF power used
by the company had increased but
"a per cent in four years, the fixed
rate charged had increased 357 per
cent
Change Would BE Costly
A statement of the Indianapolis
Casting Company was introduced to
show that the rate charged had in
creased ia per cent since February,
1926, although the power conSump-
ton had but slightly increased.
Emmett Ralston, chief engineer
Of the power company, was put on
the stand to testify that if the
monthly billing we're adopted IN
stead of the fixed charge the power
company would have to put IN ad-
ditional equipment to take care of
the fiuctuating load.
Schmollinger was assisted by
Louis K. Harms.
Commission Ellis declared that
the hearing would continue later
this afternoon.

BEL GUM DEBT
STAND DASHES
DECISION HOPE
Hoover Approval Given Rep
arationS Plans Now
at StandstiII.
BY SAMUEL DASHIELL


PARIS, May 20-Just as the
United States made a concession
that might have helped toward a
reparations agreement, Belgium
baked today on making any reduc-
ton in her demands on Germany,
and the progress of the negotiations
was blocked.
The reparationS conversations
should have entered their decisive
phase today, with some hope of con-
Guiding this week, but the Belgian
position caused an upset at four
power conference of Britain, France,
Belgium and Italy today.
Gets Hoover o. X.
The day started auspiciously
when Thomas w. Lamont OF the
American delegation, announced that
Norman Armour, American charge
daffaires in Paris, had received
cable authorization from President
Hoover to notify Owen D. Young
that the United States is willing to
accept a material reduction" in
each annuity expected from Ger
many without altering the total.
The American offer meant in
creasing the number and decreaS-
ing the amount of that country's
annuities. 1t would facilitate Eng
lands acceptance of the scheme for
dividing Germany's contributions in
war damages, originally suggested
by Young.
Belgium Firm
At this mornings four power
conference, Belgium firmly refused
to go further in the negotiations un-
til she is satisfied on her claim for
100000 marks, which, she insists,
is due from Germany. because of
the German deflation of Belgian
currency during the war.
The other powers argued all
morning but the Belgians silently
shook their heads. They refused to
listen to the allied arguments that
the problem is really between Brus-
sells and Berlin and is outside the
Jurisdiction of the conference.
