STRIKE AGAIN
THREATENING
STEEL MILLS
Labor Troubles Spread in
u. S.; Roosevelt Keeps
in Touch.
BY United Press

Labor troubles spread rapidly to-
day, with the menace of strike vio-
lence developing in the steel and
other industries.
The Republic Steel Company re-
fused to participate in a wage scale
conference with unionists at Pitts
burgh, while Akron Rubber Com
pany strikers appeared to have
tossed a side a settlement proposal.
At Fall River, Mass, 1000 Ameri-
can Thread Company workers
walked out in closed shop dispute.
Other major strike developments:
l. Ohio onion growers faced pos
sible court action for utilizing child
labor, as sullen wives of arrested
strikers picketed fields near Nc
Guffey.
2. Federal mediators worked to
end the violence marked strike of
workers on the Seabrook Farms
near Bridgeton, N. j.
3. Pacific Coast maritime strikers
refused to yield in their demands
as New York LOngshoremen Union
executives arranged to vote on a
sympathy strike. The Great Lakes
tugmen's strike continued with
slight respect of settlement.

COY MAY Get
RELIEF BERTH
McNutt Is Reluctant to
Name UnderSeCretary
to u. S. Post.

Wayne Coy, undersecretary to
Governor Paul V. McNutt, may
succeed William H. Book as state
unemployment relief director, it was
reported today.
Mr.. Book resigned from the post
to accept the position of vice-presi-
dent and general manager of the
Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce.
The Governor was reluctant TO let
him go, but finally agreed to re-
lieve him of his duties.
The Governor also is reluctant TO
appoint Mr.. Coy because he feels
his undersecretary is doing first
rate job in his present post and his
removal from the Governors office
would be felt keenly.
Mr. Coy is in charge of state
penal affairs and the Governor is
reported to feel that the time Mr.
Coy has spent in mastering the
details of that work would be
wasted if he is named to succeed
Mr.. Book.
The difficulty in filling the relief
director job lies in the necessity for
federal approval of the man chosen.
There are at least a dozen appli-
cants for the post, but only two cx
three are regarded of sufficiently
high caliber. Mr. Coy. it is re-
ported, has the approval of national
relief officials

Fear Violence in State

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, July 10.
Prompted by fear of severe vio-
lence unless labor difficulties in the
Oolitic limestone district are settled
Immediately, frantic appeals for in
tervention by the national labor
board were made today by sheriffs
of Lawrence and Monroe counties.
The violence will result if union
members carry out scheduled plans
to begin picketing mills and quar-
ries in the district Thursday night,
law enforcement officers said.
Union officials are agreed that
violence can be averted under
present conditions, the sheriffs said.
Resumption of picketing, with $500
men participating, was voted last
night at union meeting at Bed
ford.
One man, whose name was not
learned. was beaten severely in
disturbance at the Hoosier mill of
the Indiana Limestone Company
prior to the meeting.

CITY DEMOCRATS
FACE SHAKEUP
Boetcher AK to Descend on
Half of Ward Leaders,
Is Hint.
BY JAMES DOSS
Times staff Writer

A so per cent reorganization of
the city's Democratic ward chair
men is being worked out by Walter
Boetcher, Democratic city chair
man, it was learned today.
Mr.. Boetcher has not announced
any changes, but he admitted that
as many as half Of the chairmen
may be displaced and that the re-
organization probably will be COM
pleted this week or next.
No reason for the scheduled junk
ing of several chairmen has been
voiced openly, but it is reported
that factional differences are re-
sponsible. Mr.. Boetcher is said to
feel that he must have chairmen
whose loyalty to him is undivided
and several incumbents do not fall
under that classification
Chief among the changes is the
reported ouSting of Mike O'Brien
in the Eighth ward. Mr.. Boetcher
neither denies nor admits that Mr.
OBrien is scheduled to go, but it
is reported that he will be sue

5 COIN JURORS
ARE ACCEPTED
Defense AIIudes to RuCker
and Garvin Reports in
Questioning.

Five men had been accepted
tentatively as jurors in the trial
of Melville S. Cohn, a vice president
and director of the defunct Meyer
Kiser bank, charged with embez-
element, when criminal court adj
iourned for luncheon at noon today.
At that time, the special panel OF
seventy-five called for the case had
been more than half exhausted.
Questioning of Duke Painter, 1905
Villa avenue, Big -Four railroad con-
ductor, the first man tentatively
seated, indicated the line defense
attorneys would follow.
Frank Daley, defense attorney,
asked Mr.. Painter first whether he
knew Alvah j. Rucker, former Mar
ion county prosecutor, or Thomas
E. Garvin, receiver for the bank.
Mr.. Daley inquired as to whether
Mr.. Painter had read the news
paper stories of the Rucker and
Garvin reports. Mr.. Painter, as
was to be the case with the next
two tentatively accepted, said he
had read the newspaper reports, but
had forgotten their contents.
The attorney also probed for
possible anti-Semitism, since Mr..
Cohn is Jewish.
The second and third jurors ten
tatively accepted are Lawrence
Schneider, 118 Beech street, iron
worker, and William Oliver 1853
Edgemont avenue, an employe of Eli
Lilly Company They were followed
by George M. Oberhiser of 2244 Cen
trail avenue, and Fred j. Schurman,
3045 Central.
Earlier in the day, Special Judge
Alexander Cavins had postponed a
ruling on a question brought up yes
terday by defense attorneys as to
whether the state did not have to
prove criminal intent to prosecute
successfully under the statute under
which the indictment is brought.
The charge against Mr.. Cohn and
the three to be tried later is that
they paid a dividend of $3.50 to one

pleading note, in the automobile
of Mr.. and Mrs. Raymond Wolf,

they we're visiting a relative in
the hospital.
That was Saturday night. The
VOLTS turned the baby over

believing that the mother might
regret her action and call for the

thorities waited for the mother.
Long hours passed quickly Mon
day in the routine of the big
medical plant. Then, late in the
day, Mr.. Martin called police.
DETECTIVEs are looking for

charged with deserving an infant.
If they find her, however, it is
possible that aid may be obtained
to enable her to keep the child.
Otherwise, despite her expressed
desire that this not be done, the
child almost certainly will be
placed in an orphan asylum. The
hospital has no facilities to care
for Jackie" permanently.
The note left with the baby
reads as follows:
please take care of my baby
as 1 am unable to under the cir
cumStanceS. 1 will claim him in
about year and try to repay you
for any kindness you may have
shown him. Please do not give
him away. He is twelve days old.
His formula consists of one
measure of similac and two ounces
of water. He last was fed at 7
o'clock. I am asking that you
please do not make this public as
I want him and this is the only
thing I can do. I have a copy of
this note to identify myself.
