Restruiner Is Issued
on o-Beer-Sign Rule
Permanent Injunction Is
Asked Against Regulation
of Paul Fry.

First blow against a regulation of
Paul Fry, state excise director, de-
handing that beer display signs be.
removed from outside places under
penalty of license revocation, was
struck yesterday when Circuit Judge
Earl r. Cox issued a temporary or
der, restraining the regulation.
The Allied Neon Signs Msnufac-
turing Co., Inc, alleged in a petition
for a permanent injunction that Mr..
Fryis order was in violation of the
United States Constitution in that
it impaired the law of contract
without due processes of law.
The company asserted that it's
business had been injured seriously
by the order, in that many of the
signs were sold on q contract basis.
MI. Fry issued the order March 10.
demanding that all outside signs be
removed. If they were not removed,
the order read, action would be
taken toward revoking permits. The
restraining order prevents the ex-
else department from revoking
licenses or threatening to.
Action will be taken on a perma-
nent injunction during the April
term of court.

Himself: Funeral Plans
Not Completed.

Funeral arrangements for Clayton
Geisendorf, 16-year-old Ben Davis
high school student, who committed
suicide wednesday night because he
couldn't stand school," we're being
arranged this morning.
The body. which was sent to the
morgue when it was found hanging
from a strap in a vacant house at
$500 Dunway street yesterday, was
released to william .. Beanblossom,
funeral director.
Young Geisendorf lived at the
corner of the National road and
Victor avenue, east of Ben Davis.
He attended school wednesday, and
it is believed he later went to the
vacant house, often frequented by
students from the Ben Davis high
school, and hanged himself. A note
in a school book gave the cause for
suicide. He was reported by teach
ers to have been an average student,
although a frequent truant.
Surviving the youth are his father,
Kenneth G~eisendorf: his step
mother, a sister and three brothers.
He attended the Ben Davis M. E.
church. and was a member of the
Noneer Club. boys organization of
the church.

PASTORS
SEEK CATHOLICISM
600 Petition the Pope for
Admission to Church.

BERLIN, April Six hundred
pastors of the strife-torn German
Evangelical church have petitioned
the pope for admission to the Ro-
man Catholic church, a source
which is usually reliable said today.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-04-06

The election was held under the di-
tatives of both the union and the
employees association on the election
board. The official count showed
2.016 votes for the employees asso-
citation and 1854 for the hosiery
workers. union.
1T vas understood that the COM
pany, as we'll as the employees,
should be bound by the result of the
election. Accordingly, the company
entered into an agreement with the
employees association by which all
matters PERTAINING to wages, hours
of labor, working conditions, etc,
should be determined by that or
g%anization, with provision for arbi-
tration in case of a deadlock. In
dividual employees or groups of en-
ployes have the privilege of pre-
senting complaints, grievances or
suggestions to the executive board
of the association.
Principle Not Issue
THE representative of the NRA
who conducted the election stated
that the organization receiving the
largest number of votes should
select a committee to deal with the
management for the period covered
by the National Recovery Act
The company management
therefore contends that this condi-
ton still obtains, and holds that
those who assume to represent
members of the union should ap-
pear before the E. M. B. A. board
rather than seek to have the COM
pany deal with them direct.
The Employees Mutual Benefit
Association has been in existence
for more than twelve years and the
company has always been able to
settle differences amicably and with
mutual satisfaction. The principle
Of collective bargaining is nothing
new to US. and is not an issue in the
present situation. Neither do we be-
lieve that the question of recogni-
ton of a labor union is at issue.
lnasmuch as We already are dealing
with and recognizing an organiza-
ton chosen by u employees under
a plan provided by the government
"A plan which has proven to be
adequate TO meet all labor require
ments."
Letter Sent TO Board
A letter was directed to the re-
gional board yesterday by the ex-
ecutive board of the Employees Mu-
tual Benefit Association, declaring
that the employees who are making
complaints and demands to the la
board board have never presented
these complaints and demands to
our board, which as a result of the
election. is the duly constituted au-
thority to handle such matters"
The employees who are making
these complaints and demands
continued the letter. are the same
employees who demanded election
last fall on the clearcut issue be-
tween the union and the employees
association. and were enthusiastic
cally in favor of the basis of the
election. which was that the will of
the majority should prevail. 1t
never was contemplated that the
losing minority group would be en-
titled to separate representation. for
IN that event there would have been
no need for the type of election We
had. which was fully agreed upon in
advance by the. parties concerned"
