TALK MOVES TO
LET BARS DOWN
ON CHILD LABOR
Leslie and State industrial
Board to Fight Action
for Modification.

Although approved by the state
crime commission, hope for modifi-
cation of the Indiana child labor
law in the 1881 legislative session
appeared remote today when it was
learned that the move, which would
make It easier to employ children
between Is and 10, will be opposed
both by Governor 4. Harry G. Les
lie and the state industrial board.
A bill embodying the proposed
changes was discussed at a meet
ing Of an interested committee at
the Columbia Club Tuesday after
noon. Superintendent John G.
Rossman of the East Chicago public
schools presided.
The committee, which was created
quietly by George K. Wells, super
visor of industrial education in the
vocational training division of the
office of Roy P. Wisehart, superin-
tendent of public instruction, met
without any public announcement.
Neither the Governor nor men,
hers of the industrial board, which
Is the body most affected by the
proposed changes, were invited, it
was said.
In addressing the meeting, Wells
advocated the child labor law
changes as necessary to foster an
adequate program of part-time ed
ucation in Hoosier public schools.
The changes, as drafted, would
provide for handling of work per-
mits directly to the employer from
the issuing officer and empower
ing the industrial board to give def
mite, legislative Interpretation to
the present clause in the law
which, after naming certain for
hidden occupations, bars others
dangerous to life and limb, health
and morals" of children from 16
to 19.
Wells claims that the indefinite
ness of the present wording causes
employers to refuse jobs to young
persons under 10. The present law
lays the employer wide open to
damage suits, NTH almost no de-
Tense, he asserted.
This shifting CT responsibility to
the industrial board is the move
approved by the state crime COM
mission at its secret meeting last
week

TRAFFIC REROUT|NG
PROTEST REPEATED
M. & NJ. Association Pro-
poses Relief Plan at En-
craving Bureau.

In its fight to discontinue the clos
ing Of southwest Fourteenth street, op-
poSite the Bureau of Engraving, each
afternoon while Government employees
are changing shifts, the Merchants &
Manufacturers Association, today again
wrote to District Commissioner Herbert
B. Crosby protesting the rerouting Of
Fourteenth street traffic east two blocks
to Twelfth street each day between $50
and $50 pm
Citing the fact that vehicular traffic
thus rerouted Is faced with congested
and hazardous traffic conditions be-
cause Of the necessity Of making left
turns to return back to Fourteenth
street, the merchants group, at the
recommendation of its Traffic Commit
tee, suggested that Linworth place
southwest, . north and south thor
oughfare running two blocks north
from d street between Twelfth and
Fourteenth street, be made O one-way
street from d street to G street. This
being done, the association pointed out
rerouted traffic could traverse this
street to G street, which Is not a con-
gested thoroughfare where 1t intersects
Linworth place, turn left and thence
bfSCh W OCCIbkI SIkcSk.
This suggestion, the associations let
ter points out, would call for restrict
ing street car passenger loading to one
block, between G and D streets, in
stead OF two blocks. as Is now being
done.
The fight Of the merchants body Is
being conducted in behalf Of the many
hauling and trucking merchants who
use lower Fourteenth street and are
exceedingly handicapped by the neces-
sity Of making left turns during peak
rush hours at congested points.
At present, northbound Fourteenth
street traffic is cut off at D street and
rerouted via Twelfth. At Twelfth it is
not permissible to return toward Four
teenth at G street, and because of con-
gested conditions at B street, left turns
are inadequate. The Mall is part of the
parks system. through which trucks
are not permitted to pass and B street
northwest Is cobblestone street, made
quate for truck traffic. Ohio and Penn
sylvania avenues, the two remaining
east and west highways, are exceedingly
congested during rush hours. the as
sociation points out.

An illustrated talk by Lloyd v. Berk-
ner of New Ulm, Mimi, assistant radio
engineer of the Byrd Antarctic Expedi-
ton, depicting experiences during the

sicist, and Sergt. Kennard F. Bubiep

"ideal shipmate and leader" Mr.. Berk-
ner, in describing his experiences, char
acterized the expedition as 'far from
being q pleasure trip" The prepara-
tions for the expedition and its after
math, he said, were greater ordeals than
the trip itself. The photographs ex-
hibited were reminiscent of the NOV
ing picture story of she explorations.
Building up of an acquaintance over
the radio with his year-old son, born
while he was on the trip, was explained
by Lieut.. Hanson. Miss Bede johnson,
president Of the society, introduced the
