Cut In
Mine Insurance

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 30. U.P)-
Seeking a reduction in mining in
surance rates, mine operators and
legislators will meet here Friday
for a conference with Governor
Rolph, according to plans COM
pleted today.
The fight for reduced rates, 1t
IS claimed, is to be based on re-
port of a 1881 state senate COM
rlittee which revealed that state
mining compensation insurance
rates had scared to $10.54 for each
S100 paid in wages in California,
while the highest rate in any other
state was $7.79 in Arizona. The
committee reported a rate of $4.15
existed in Idaho.
Under statutes passed in 1915,
the insurance commissioner was
authorized to set minimum rates
for compensation insurance to
prevent disastrous rate wars.

the men who stole the baby were

Schwarzkopf has received sever
al of the bills. He hopes, his asso-
ciates say, that one of the bills
will provide him powerful clew.
Stays on Job
Schwarzkopf has kept his other
trails profound secret from all
but a few associates. A half dozen
of his crack troopers now work on
the Lindbergh investigation exclu-
sively. Schwarzkopf devotes prac-
tically all of his time to it.
He is a West Point man, trained
in the routine and the precise
methods of the army. He is con-
Quoting his seach methodically, ex-
amining every bit of evidence no
matter how insignificant it appears,
following every trail until it is ex-
hausted. The written reports al
ready fill half dozen filing cab
inets.
On Schwarzkopf's success will
hang the fortunes of Governor A.
Harry Moore, many political OBJ
servers believe. Should Schwarz-
kopf fail, Moore's political oppon-
ents will make capital of that fail
ure in the next gubernatorial race.
Schwarzkopf's own future as head
of the state police, also is in the
balance Observers believed his
chances for reappointment or
should Moore reappoint him, con-
firmation in the egislature-Were
practically non-existent should he
fail to solve the case.
The exit of other police bodies
was for the good of the hunt, the
United Press learned. The jealous
les of the Newark and Jersey City
departments hampered some of
the early efforts. At one time to
keep peace in the police family,
Schwartzkopf had to assign a
member of each department to each
separate detail of investigation.
