ulation of American business
through three.-point program that
included adoption of a forty hour

nual reduction in war veterans

heving unemployment.

The committee on federal expen-
ditures, besides opposing payment

which materially handicap them in
competition in civilian life"
In favoring the forty-hour week
the representatives of large cross
section of American business inter-
ests approved it only as an emer-

SET BUDGET HEARING
Schools Tax Levy Session
Scheduled Monday.

Public hearing on the 1928
budget and tax levy of the public
schools will be held at noon Mon
day.
The hearing originally was set for
Sept. Is, and was started at that
time, being continued until Monday
because of the large number of per-
sons appearing to present sugges-
tons.
At that time, board members
asked that those having suggestions
submit them in writing before the
meeting Monday.
The school budget has been set at
$685., 481, reduction of $857,0
over the previous budget. However,
because of an IS per cent assessed
valuation reduction, and increased
tax delinquency, it is necessary to
increase the levy from 81 to $1.087.

PAY BANNED
ON HIGHWAYS
Minimum Wage Clause to
Be Written in All State
Road Contracts.
80 CENTS HOUR LIMIT
Agitation for Move Grew
Out of Times Expose
Two Years Ago.

A minimum wage of 80 cents an
hour for state highway work.
whether done by state forces or I'M
der contract, has been decreed by
state highway commissioners, it was
announced today by Ralph Simp-
son, assistant state highway di-
rector.
The 30-cent minimum wage clause
has been written into new bridge
contracts and also will appear in
paving contracts, Simpson said.
Bonds provided by contractors
will be forfeited with violation of
the wage order.
Exposed Two Years Ago
Agitation for such action grew
out of an expose by The Times,
started nearly two years ago, dis
closing state road contractors were
paying Starvation" wages of Is and
20 cents an hour.
Twice state highway commits
sionerS adopted resolutions con-
demning the practice and setting
out that contractors would not be
given any further work. No con-
tractor was turned down, however.
and the low wage payments con-
tinued.
Action of the special session of
the legislature brought about the
present stand of the commission for
the 30-cent minimum wage.
Based on Weiss Law
1t is based on the Weiss law.
which requires that minimum wage
clause be written into each con-
tract and that it be not less than
the hourly wage paid by the state
for highway work.
The law, which was introduced
by Representative Jacob Weiss
Dem), Indianapolis, now a candi-
date for the state senate, was draft
ed to permit various wage scales
throughout the state, according to
Simpson.
Formerly the state paid more in
the northern district than in the
south, but the universal minimum
of 80 cents now will be enforced,
Simpson said.

Steps Into Quiz in Utility

Congress Banking Com
mittee Will Conduct In
CURRY, Says Norbeck.

| By United Press
CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-The United
States district attorneys Office, the
agency which shattered Chicago,s
gangs and gathered evidence which
sent Al Capone to prison, will start
thorough inquiry into the insult
empires financing Immediately.
Announcement of the investiga-
ton, made today by District Attor-
ney Dwight F. Green, followed
| closely promise of a senatorial
investigation and demands that
Samuel insult and his brother Mar
tin be returned to the United States.
Green said that his preliminary
study of the insult matters had
convinced him that "a thorough in
veStigation is warranted with a view
to determine whether any United
States statutes were violated"
Meeting to Be Called
He announced that a meeting of
chiefs of all the federal investiga-
tory departments here would be
called "as soon as possible" to de-
eide what steps should be taken.
Other new developments in the
aftermath of the collapse of the
insult utilities pyramid, estimate to
have cost investors nearly one bill
lion dollars, were:
Announcement by United States
Senator Peter Norbeck (Rep., S. d.
that the senate banking committee,
of which he is chairman, will make
a close study of the insult matter
when congress reasSembles.
Request by a bondholderS commit
tee that Subpenas be issued for the
return of Samuel insult from Paris
and his brother, Martin, from Can
ada, where the pair have sought re-
tirement.
Demand by States Attorney John
A. Swanson for a $4,000 appropria-
ton to be spent in searching insult
records for evidence of possible
violation of statutes.
Editors Are Judgment
Editorial demands by Chicago
newspapers for revelation of the
complete list of persons allowed by
insult to purchase stock in his con-
Germ below the market price.
The impending senate investiga-
ton, Norbeck said, would be carried
on in connection with the stock
market study undertaken at the last
session of congress. Recent receiver
ship audits convinced him that the
insult stock issues should be investi-
gated with q. view to possible irregu-
larities, he said.
A committee representing bond
holders of insult Utility Investments,
Inc, which has been declared bank
rupt by Federal Judge Walter c.
Lindley, announced they would ask
the court to seek return of the In
sullS for examination. The action,
which is civil, would be undertaken
in hope of discovering some assets in
the derelict concern.
