not because some one wants them
hired. If man is unemployed but
not on poor relief, he has just as
much chance to obtain a job under

He said all state directors had
been instructed first to give the job
to war veterans with dependents,
with proper qualifications for that
job, and then next to unemployed
men best fitted for the job, regard
less of the relief roll status of the
jobless one.
"The directors have found that
where states gave jobs only to those
on relief rolls, that it worked a

RVS definite announcement that he
would start his ace pitcher, Carl

The Giants were 10 to 7 favorites

UTILITIES lose
fight TO Save
PENALTY LEVY
Commission Head Declares
Support of Charge
Is Failure.

Big guns of the Indiana utility
business from throughout Indiana
were unlimbered in vain at a public
service commission hearing today.
For when they ceased firing,
Chairman Perry Mozart of the COM
mission declared that they had failed
completely to make case for gross
rates"
Gross rates" mean the charging
of 10 per cent penalty on belated
bill payers. They were denied in
several commission orders recently
and the entire industry was aroused.
Utility officials asked that the
hearing to justify them be held
today and they were on hand with
their attorneys.
Levy Not Justified
A general order abolishing the
penalties would mean thousands OF
dollars in savings to rate payers, Mr.
Mozart pointed out and declared
that no facts were produced to
justify the levy.
He said he would give them ar
opportunity to produce such facts
but in the interim, would deny al
gross rates" He also indicated that
a general order abolishing then
may be issued if the utilities fail Of
justification.
C. L. Harrod of the Indianapolis
Power and Light Company Was
among the leading protestant!
against the abolition. The company
charges a 10 per cent penalty after
ten days.
Chairman Mozart suggested thai
instead of a penalty the regular
rates should be charge and dis
count of 10 per cent offered fol
prompt payment.
Big Fund From Penalties
Mr.. Harrod asserted that one
tenth of the company's gross rev.
enue now comes from the penalties
and a discount would mean loss Of
100000 annually.
C. L. Kirk, manager of the Citi-
zens Gas Company, was present, but
said nothing. His company con-
tends that it already is on the dis
count, and not the penalty basis.
No late collection charges are
made either by the Indiana Bel
Telephone Company or the Indian
apolis Water Company.
John Beasley, Terre Haute, presi.
dent of the Indiana Gas Service
Corporation, was leading spokesman
for the group and had arranged the
meeting.
He indicated that attempts will be
made to convince the commissioners
that they are wrong in abolishing
the penalty charges.

He laid down three princi-
pies in dealing with the vet
Grams and declared that his
policy of financial retrench-
ment was imperative if the
country is to thrive.
His principles were:
l. Governmental responsibility for
those who suffered injury or disease
in the war
2. No special class of beneficiaries,
over and above all other citizens.
3. Federal aid for nonconnected
service disability cases, but only
when all other agencies fail.
1.-The fact of wearing uniform
does not mean that he (the vet
eran) can demand and receive from
his government benefit which no
other citizen receives" the President
declared.
cit does not mean that because a
person served in the defense of his
country, performed basic obliga-
ton of citizenship, he should re-
ceive a pension from his government
because of a disability incurred after
his service had terminated, and not
connected with that service"
In thanking the legion for its
loyalty and service, he appealed for
unity and the elimination of sec
tionalism and class.
"If the spirit of sectionalism is
allowed to grow strong, or to pre-
vail, it means the end of national
unity and of patriotism" he said.
You and 1 are aware of the
simple fact that as every day passes,
the people of this country are less
and less willing to tolerate benefits
for any one group of citizens which
must be paid for by others.
You have been willing to fight
for the benefits of Americal life.
You have been willing to live for
American unity. You have under
stood that this is the very founda-
ton of the Americanism for which
you stand, in which you believe,
and to which you and 1 swore al
legiance when we became American
legionnaires."

plete unionization of Americas
workers and an active opposition to
monetary initiation were demanded
by President William Green in a
vigorous speech today at the open
ing session of the f1fty-third an
nual convention of the American
Federation of Labor.
The federation president made
one of the most forceful addresses
of his career. He pleaded for a

that success of the National Indus

adoption of a uniform thirty-hour

budgeted. Presumably the
balance of $278,8O2 was di-
verted for other purposes.
Persons familiar with city finances
declared that this practice of pad
ding indicated that the city budget
for several years has not been a true
budget which actually would show
the taxpayers the precise purposes
for which their money was to be
used.
They pointed out that habitual
discrepancies between budgeted
items and actual expenditures in
years past, tend to throw grave
doubts upon the accuracy of the
1884 budget, which was prepared
in the same manner as past ones.
Branded Useless Spending
In addition, The Times discovered
that Sc, $50 is to be spent next year
for the utility district. This was
a department created by the legiS-
lature to arrange the purchase of
the Citizens Gas Company by the
city.
After a long legal battle, the
question of the right of the city to
take over the gas company now is
before the supreme court for de-
cfsion. Should the municipality win,
it would have to provide $4,000, 900
as the purchase price.
This would have to be raised
either out of the tax budget or by
a bond issue at a time when Indian
apolis is facing a grave crisis in its
fiscal affairs. Competent author
tiles indicate that this would be i'm
possible and that, therefore. the
spending of $6,150 for the utility dis
trict in the coming year is useless.
Rich for Lawyers
While the utility district thus
far has yielded nothing tangible but
litigation to the taxpayers it has
proved a rich revenue ciStern for
lawyers.
Among the attorneys who have
dipped into it from time to time
according to records. are James
o = d II, Thomas D. Stevenson
George w. HufSmlth, Louis B
Ewbank and Samuel LoWden.
This array of legal talent was re-
tanned by the city in addition to its
regular counsel, Edward H. Knight
and James E. Deery, who are paid
salaries by the taxpayers.
The gas compan" on the OF, Ell
hand, was able to ry along with
only its regular leg;l staff.
Next-HOw the taxpayers are be-
ing charged for municipal depart
ments whose functions overlap.
