the teachers minimum wage.
The veteran Lake county SEN
ator, recognized as one of the
most able parliamentarians in
the upper house, took the floor
in defense of the teachers when
the bill appeared on second
reading.
He pointed out that the pres
ent $500 minimum salary re-
duces teachers to about S2.66 a
day, figuring the year around. :"
Calling attention to the educa-
tional requirements for teaching,
he launched a TRADE against
hackers of the measure.

LEWIS URGES
So AS MINE
BASIC WAGE
Every Concession That Can
Be Wrunq From Indus
try IIIinoisans Told.
FEARS PERIL TO UNION
Pay Will Be on Level of
Kentucky If Organization
Falls. Is Warning.

Acceptance Of the IS day basic
wage for the Illinois field, district
No. II, United Mine Workers of
America, as one representing every
concession that can be wrung from
the impoverished coal companies in
a stricken and almost expiring in
dustry," was recommended in a
statement given out here today by
John l.. Lewis, international presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers
of America.
Lewis reviewed efforts of the
scale committee of district No IL
in its negotiations with operators,
the refusal of the district to &C
cept the scale committees recon-
mendation, and subsequent review
OF the negotiations by the inter
national officials.
The revised report, bearing Slight
concessions in operating conditions,
but none in basic or other pay, will
be the subject of a referendum vote
in the district, Aug. 6.
The original recommendation of
the scale committee followed con-
ference with the Illinois Coal
Operators Association between
March and July 8. 1t was re-
1ected in referendum vote.
Then international officers were
invited to participate in negotia-
tions at Springfield July % to 25.
1t is the report on those discus
sions which is now up for referen-
dunn.
The wage reductions in the
agreement and the various in
equalities which exist within it's
structure are as distasteful to the
members of the scale committee and
the international representatives as
they are to the membership of the
district" Lewis statement reads
1t is, however, the firm convic-
ton and inescapable conclusion of
the majority of the members of the
scale committee and the district
and international representatives
associated in the Springfield joint
conference that the agreement, dis
tasteful as it may be, represents
every concession that, at this time,
can be wrung from the impoverished
coal companies in stricken and al
most expiring industry"
Lewis concludes with a warning
that If the union is destroyed, wages
will not be SIS upon the baSing in
side day rates." but inevitably will
be the wages now being paid the
distressed mine workers in Ken
lucky, West Virginia and Ohio"

BONUS BATTLE
VICTIM BURIED
IN ARLINGTON
U. S. Army Fires Salute to
William Hushka at
Last Rites.
By Uhited Pre- 2

bU tHUen Pfe
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-The
bonus expeditionary force buried
the first of its dead today with the
salute of the United States army
which only five days ago had driven
it from Washington.
William j. Hushka of Chicago
shot to death in battle with po-
lice Thursday afternoon, was low
cred into a grave at Arlington Ma
tional cemetery, there to rest
among the heroes of the nations
wars.
A few hours previously the sec
ond veteran to fall in the disorders
of last week died of gunshot
wounds. He was Eric Carlson, So
veteran with years service
overseas.
Over a hill quarter of mile
away from Hushka's grave, rests
the unknown soldier.
And over the knolls of pleasant
Arlington, once the home of Robert
E. Lee, stands almost countless
crosses, each marking the place
where rests some man who has
died after serving his country.
1,5OO Follow Cortege
Fifteen hundred people followed
on the pilgrimage to Arlington. In
cortege many blocks long, they
circled the White House.
There policemen and guards, set
days ago to protect the President
against annoyance from the army" "
of which HuShka was a member, re-
moved their hats or stood at atten-
ton as the hearse passed, bearing
the first of the dead of the Battle
of Washington"
The President, at the moment,
was sitting with his cabinet inside,
duscussing affairs of state.
Commander Walter w. Waters OF
the bonus expeditionary force said
today he believed the objections of
Governor Albert c. Ritchie to es-
tablishment of bonus camp near
Waterbury. Md, would be with
drawn after further study OF the
situation.
Waters was confident that his
conference with the Governor this
afternoon would clear away many
of the apparent difficulties now ex-
isting"
Ritchie DenOunceS Project
Ritchie denounced the project as
totally impracticable" and said he
was obtaining legal advice to de-
termine whether it was possible to
prevent the thousands of bonus
army refugees now in JohnStown,
from. going to Waterbury.
Governor Ritchie said the camp
site was totally unsuitable"
1T is principally scrub wood
land with no agriculture upon it
possible, no food of any kind, moth
ing like an adequate water supply
and Of course no sewerage facilities,
he said. NO group could earn a
livelihood on that land, and health
and sanitation would be seriously
menaced."
The Governor said the presence of
thousands of veterans with no
means of livelihood and no re-
sourcesp would present a social
problem of law and order of the
first magnitude"

PROSECUTOR TO
AID BATTLE TO
NAB RACKETEERS
Wilson Puts investigator on
Trail of Garage
BIaCkmaiIerS.

Agents of Prosecutor Herbert E
Wilson today joined police in at
temptS to nab racketeers who
threatened terrorism unless they
were paid blackmail, ranging from
$500 to $1,000, by downtown garage
operators.
Wilson announced that detective
John Dugan, assigned to his office
as an investigator, has been placec
on the case, with orders to "enc
racketeering, now and forever, ir
the city and county"
While Wilson prepared to act
detectives still are located at va.
rlous plants in the city, where re-
cipients of the eXtortion notes were
told to place their money.
Morrissey Plans Secret
Chief Mike Morrissey and Other
police officials, however, have re-
fused to detail their plans, but con-
f1rmed receipt of the threats after
The Times Monday printed parts Of
the letters.
Meanwhile, a check was being
made to determine if an Indianap-
oils manufacturing company and q
downtown store were threatened.
The racketeerS, in their printed
ened not only bodily harm, but also
notes to garage operators, threat
to use acid, dynamite, stencil bombs
and other methods to halt patron
age at the garages.
New Threat Is Probed
"My deputies have been ordered to
follow ever clew in this case" Will
son said. Indianapolis never has
been bothered with major racketeer-
ing of this type, and we intend to
stop it before it gains a foothold."
Federal authorities are studying
the new extortion by mail law, to
determine if they have jurisdiction
in the local case. The law, only re-
Gently enacted, may have been
signed too late to apply in this case,
authorities said.
Widening scope of their activities,
the terroriSts have sent a menacing
letter to the Keyless Lock Company
1401 Newman street, it was learned
today from an authoritative source.
Norman Baxter, general manager,
refused either to deny or affirm re-
ceiving the threat.

Palm was charged with speeding,
reckless driving and failure to OBJ
serve an automatic traffic signal
To these charges he pleaded guilty.
A charge of failure to have a drivers
license was dismissed by the prose-
cution. The law violation occurred
July q.
At the close of Sissons "explana-
tion' of the case, Sheaffer suspend
ed a $25 fine costs assessment for
speeding; suspended 81 and costs
for the traffic signal violation and
also suspended the $25 and costs
judgment for reckless driving.
Officers Are Not Sworn
While this was being enacted in
the courtroom, the officers said
nothing. This was because they
were not sworn as witnesses.
Once in the proceedings, Dewey
Meyers, deputy prosecutor, inter-
rupted Sisson, to ask patrolman
Warren DAILY, how fast Palm was
driving.
"Seventy-one miles an hour"
DAILY replied.
DAILY made this statement, as
Sisson had completed his assertion
that Palm was not driving very
fast"
'NO One On Streets"
In answer to the terrific speed re-
lated by Daily, SisSon then told the
court "there was no one on the
streets at in the morning."
About half of Sisson's "explana-
ton" could not be heard. The con-
versation was whispered.
There was no one in danger"
Sisson said. 1T was 2 in the morn
ing. He did go through a stop
light"
But the police report told differ
ent story than the courtroom "ex-
PLANTATION, it was revealed.
The officers, in the Stutz police
automobile, one of the fastest in
service, said they started pursuit of
Palm at Fourteenth and Meridian
streets.
Ran Seven Stop Lights
They said Palm gained speed and
led them around corners at a ter
rife pace as the pursuit roared
through the north side. They said
he ran through seven stop lights.
The chase finally ended at Forty
fifth street and Washington boule-
ward when Palm, it is said, halted
as officers stepped to the running
board of their car with guns drawn.
At times. according to officers, the
police car was travelling more than
eighty miles an hour.
SiSSon is associated in law prac-
tice with William H. Remy, former
prosecutor. While Rery was in Of
flee, Sheaffer was the grand jury
deputy.
