SHORTER WORK
DAY FOUGHT BY
STREET CAR co.
Officials Say 8-Hour Shift
RuinouS Because of
Labor Increase.

Indianapolis Street Railway Com
pany officials are afraid their cars
might be more than thirty minutes
late passing a given point, and,
therefore, are against an eight-hour
day with thirty minutes leeway.
Besides, they assert that the
schedules compiled on an eight
hour basis and presented by car
men who are petitioning for the
eight-hour day, would require en-
ployment of twenty-five more full
time and eighty extra men, and this
would ruin the company, now in
the hands of a receiver.
Testimony to this effect was
heard by Commissioner Frank
Singleton of the public service COM
mission at the eight-our arbitra-
ton hearing in the senate cham
Der at the statehouse today.
30 Car Men Present
Approximately thirty car men
were on hand to press their claims,
including James Green and Harry
Pearson, signers of the petition.
Witnesses put on the stand by the
company attorney, David E. Wat
son, were L. J. E. Foley, company
auditor, and James P. Tretton, gen.
eral manager. The latter expressed
the dire predictions as to results
which would follow adoption of the
eight-hour- day plan.
Through cross-questioning, j. S.
FenStermacher, attorney for the pc
titioners, brought forth the follow
ing admissions:
Tha there now are more than
eighty experienced extra men who
would be given full-time jobs on the
regular eight-hour runs.
That some of these men have
drawn the minimum salary of $45
a month and others between $50 and
$40.
Use Phone to Save
That two hours pay is allowed for
show up" whether the men get a
run or not, but that the company
uses telephone calls to save this pay
melt.
That men now are shifted on
both inbound and outbound cars on
the Washington street line and the
eight-hour shift would be no more
inconvenient.
That no additional service had
been provided for the Christmas
shoppers,
Fenstermacher also sought to
show that men having long runs,
with pay of more than ten hours a
day, were released to circulate pc
titions against the eight-hour plan.
That there are too many super
visors and that at the Washington
street car barn, there is an extra
man for every two runs while the
ideal service, according to the COM
pany. provides one extra man for
seven runs.
No new men have been added since
last February, Tretton testified.
He commended the eight-hour day
would be unfair to men with longer
runs. that it would discommode the
public and ruin the company"

DISPLACED AS TRUSTEE
Schuyler Haas Removed in Estate
of Charles f. Wishmier.

Probate Judge Smiley N. Cham
bers today appointed John j. Reilly,
realtor, as substitute trustee for the
estate of Charles F. Wishmier, re-
placing Schuyler A. Haas.
Records of the court show that
Haas as trustee is unable to &C
count for certain commissions and
other items of interest in the trus-
teeship," and that evidence further
6iscloses some inaccuracies in ad-
dition and subtraction in the trus-

What a Relief

By Times Special
GARY, Ind. Dec. 2l.-The
relief problem has been set
tied for six months at least
in the case of Eddie Long,
Negro, who borrowed wife
and baby to constitute a FAM
lily for the purpose of getting
a share of township poor aid.
He was sentenced to six
months at the state penal
farm when convicted on a
false pretense charge.
Long had obtained SOB
worth of groceries and other
supplies from the township
before his racket was discov-
cred. He admitted his guilt,
but said if he had not OBJ
tanned aid, he probably would
have turned bandit.
