clear the field of police" that he
would talk the matter over" with
Sheriff Peter Fitzgerald and Mayor

administration faces its first strug-
gle with the problem of production
quotas within an industry, price
fixing and foreign competition.
The code submitted creates an
emergency national committee, COM
posed of lumber men and mem
bers of the recovery administration,
to fix production quotas for dlvl-
sions of the lumber and timber
products industries and also to fix
minimum prices.
This last power would extend to
prices fixed for domestic sale of
foreign products, and the code pro-
vides that imported lumber shall
not sell for less than domestic lum-
Der.
Wage and hour schedules sub
mitted by the lumber men will not
be accepted, Administrator johnson
has indicated, though decision will
not be reached until the lumber
mems case has been heard.
The proposed code calls for a
forty eight-hou week in most OF
the divisions of the industry and in
no case less than forty hours.
With this long work week goes a
minimum wage of 221a cents an
hour or 5000 a week, scaling up
to 5000 in west coast logging
camps.
The proposed code also makes
liberal exceptions from the forty
eight-hour work week for mature
of the work emergency" and sea
Sonal employment.
While the code declares for con-
servation and sustained production
of forest resources, it promises CO.
operation only if public agencies as
sumo substantial obligations" fol
this work, and only if there i;
prompt change of systems of loca
taxation of forest property"

begin July 20. Steel code hearings

The court, finding that Kitchen

Second Rehearsal Brings
Out Large Cast for
Granada Show.

with these girls, I could reduce
the time required for production Of
a revue to minimum. They're
talented. They're sincere. They're
intelligent. They know how to take
orders and they are alert" This was
the comment of jeff Creager,
Broadway director, following the
second rehearsal at Hotel SEVERN
Tuesday night for The Indianap-
oils Follies of 1885," which is to
open its three-day run next Sun
day at the Granada theater.
Creager started nearly fifty In
dianapolis girls on their first rou-
tine dance numbers for the revue,
which will include upward of 100
girls and boys.
Girls Act Like Veterans
Throughout the rehearsals, the
girls appeared like regular troupers.
First, an explanation by Creager, an
example of the steps or routines to
be rehearsed, and in an unbeliev-
ably short time they were going
through the intricate steps and
routines in a smooth manner.
Already the show IS beginning to
smack of the professional, as the
shyness and timidity of the various
performers fades under the direc-
ton of Creager.
The veteran producer declares
that he can have his dancers do
ing their stuff like old-timers with
in few days of training, and if
Tuesday nights rehearsal is any
criterion, he can do it quicker than
that.
Mothers Are Invited
Creager invites mothers and chap
eroneS to accompany those who are
participating in the revue. He made
it clear, however, that bystands cI
outsiders who have nothing to dc
with those in the show, will be
! barred.
In addition to the stage show, q
feature picture is to be shown al
the Granada, but there will be ne
advance in prices.

for tonight at the Hotel SEVERN al

CHILD ACCIDENTS IN

Insurance Survey Also Shows Adult
Fatalities Increase.


NEW YORK, July 12.-The num-
Der of fatal accidents in the home
has increased for adults but de-
creased for children during recent

Part of this increase may be due
to the depression which has forced

otherwise away from home a large

Between now and September,

to plans made this week at the

Government employees can place
their sole hope in legislation, both
to increase good conditions and
fight adverse conditions, it was
portrayed, and only through
membership which embraces
majority Of Government workers
can proper pressure be brought
for such legislation, the national
officers declared.
One phase of the membership
extension campaign will be the
formation of State federations,
comprising local Federal Employe
unions. A few States such as
Maryland, New York, Arizona
and Oklahoma, as well as the
District Of Columbia, already
have such federations, or depart.

interest, and relieving the central
office of much organization de

forming new locals and stimulat
ing inactive ones also is on the
calendar for this year.

STATE GAS TAX
CAUSES SPLIT

Whether incorporated towns
in Maryland will receive, as is
suggested for Baltimore, a por-
ton of the State gas tax for
road work has widened the break
between the County Commis-
sioners' Association and the
State Roads Commission and
Governor Albert c. Ritchie.
County heads are maintaining
that they handle the gas tax
funds to be given towns as a
substitute for the rebate towns
get, now from the county prop
erty tax to spend on roads. A
proportion Of whatever the
county levies for road work is
usually returned to incorporated
areas for its use. Special taxing
areas, such as In Chevy Chase,
do not come under this Stipula-
ton. Ti
If either the roads body con-
trolS road building or gaS-tax re-
ceipts are given counties to
spend as they wish, the county
tax rate will be cut and towns
will be deprived Of a rebate
large enough to support road
construction, it is felt. Support
among towns is now being en-
listed to ask for the share it
raises from the gasoline tax to
care for this work.

SEES GRADUAL

New Senate Bill, FaVorably
Reported, Will Negate
Work of so Years

Just a half century afte- insti-
tuition Of the present Civil Service
system and abandonment Of the
old-time spoils system Of award
ing Government jobs, the Civil
Service merit system again faces
one Of its greatest crises, in the
opinion Of Thomas E. Campbell,
president Of the Civil Service
Commission.
It took the assassination OF
President Garfield to force enact
ment Of the basic Civil Service
law, signed by President Arthur
January 16, 1888, just so years
ago next Monday. Every sue
ceeding President has extended
the scope of the merit system
and further centralized control
Of Federal appointments in this
non-partisan agency, noteworthy
among them being Theodore
Roosevelt, who served as both
president of the commission and
President of the United States.
Now, according to President
Campbell, the entire spirit Of the
Civil Service system, and the
cumulative benefits of half
century, are menaced by the bill
reported by the Senate Economy
Committee seeking distribution Of
. all the commissions records
among the various departments.
Under the new plan, it will be
possible for any department to
employ any person desired with
out regard to classification, rela-
tive standing on the roster,
military preference, p, and other
vital qualifications, and influence
will counv for more than ability,
they believe. Discrimination and
injustices will be inevitable, the
Senators have been warned, if
