AGENCIES
FOR JOBS URGED
Illinois Official Asks improved
Public Facilities to
Aid Employment.

Larger and more comprehensive en-
ployment services maintained by city,
State and Federal governments would
materially hasten business recovery. in
the opinion of Barney Cohen. director
Of the "a employment Offices supported
by the State of Illinois.
Mr.. Cohen, addressing the Twentieth
Annual Convention of the International
Association of Public Employment Serv-
ices, in session at the Washington Ho-
tel, declared that the house eto-house
method of job hunting is proving too
costly.
Interstate Cooperation.
He said the increased burden to the
taxpayer represented by broader pub
lie employment service would be more
than offset by the benefit to job hunt
ers, who require expert assistance to
find proper place in complex indus
trial system.
The opinion Is growing, he said. that
the man out Of job should not be re
quired to pay the cost Of finding en-
ployment. Larger and better-trained
employment personnels are required to
analyze the job opportunities of indus
try and fit workers into them.
He recommended interstate co-opera-
tion in handling transient LABOR, Suen
as the men who harvest grain in the
West, and more comprehensive Federal
aid in this field.
He declared that the present low state
of factory employment is net only
problem but an opportunity for public
employment experts, and expressed con-
fdence in the future.

Directors of the new company an

The project involves a forty -one-

Inauguration of Service
Early in November Is
Expected.

Inauguration of trackless trolley
service early in November is antici-
pated by officials of Indianapolis
Railways as work is being pushed
on erection of about fourteen miles
of overhead line and poles.
Present overhead system is being
rebuilt completely along two routes
over which the trolleys will operate
The change necessitates placing OF
$50 steel poles.
Present wood poles and steel will
be removed. The new type poles
many of which already have been
installed in the downtown section
are bolted into a concrete founda-
ton instead of being inserted in
earth.
The poles are placed about 100
feet apart and will be painted dark
green.
With these poles, the new troll
leyS will be able to swing approx
mately fifteen feet on either side
Of the overhead line, permitting
flexible operation of buses in traf-
f1o. Passengers will board buses
downtown at regular street car
loadingo platforms, but will be adj
mitted at the curb in outlying sec
tions.
Automobiles parking along the
routes will not be disturbed, and
traffic will be permitted to pass troll
leys on either right or left side.
Current fol" the buses will be
supplied from overhead lines by
swivel trolley poles fitted with shoes
on the upper part. Wires will be
creased to permit frictionless opera
ton of the shoe.

ADMITS Guilt
IN ARSON CASE
Swear old Fire Solved by
Brothers Confessions.

A 5-year-old arson case in which
one brother attempted to shield an
other by accepting blame for the
crime, was believed solved today by
the alleged confession of Earl
Brooks, "a, of 22O South Gray street.
Brooks, detectives said, told them
he was promised $50 for setting
fire to the home of his brother, Will
liam Brooks, SAB South East street,
but William refused to pay off be-
cause firemen extinguished the blaze
before much damage was done.
Arrested in connection with the
burning of his auto about month
ago, William Brooks thought the
officers knew of the burning of the
house in 1927 and confessed the
arson to save his younger brother.
Police and fire officials, however,
investigated further and found
William Brooks was out of town on
the day of the fire, but that Earl
was left at home. Earl admitted,
police say, that his brother offered
him money to start the fire, pre-
sumably to collect insurance.
