Beat Relief Worker
Refusing To Take
Another Wage Cut
Cop Aids Supervisor
Against Militant
Union Chief

NEW YORK Because he refused
to be fired from his relief job for
not accepting a pay cut, Nick Saw
chuk, militant president Of the In
dependent House Wreckers Union.
was brutally struck on the head
Monday by his supervisor, James
Markley, at the project, 18th Ave.
and 37th st.
After being on Home Relief for
three years, Sawchuck was given a
job as a housewrecker month ago.
He worked alternate weeks, and his
pay for this very dangerous work
averaged $14 a week.
This Monday Supervisor Markley
told Sawchuk that his pay was to
be cut. Sawchuk answered that he
would not submit to having his al
ready low wages slashed, and that
the other workers on the job would
fight against a cut. Marley there
upon removed the worker from his
wrecking job, and made him do
other difficult work, such as loading
bricks on trucks.
The supervisor, bullying and
threatening, tried to force Sawchuk
to lift extra heavy loads of bricks.
The latter refused, explaining that
he could only lift three bricks at
once, as they were very heavy and
the truck was very high. Markley
threatened to discharge Sawchuk
The worker retorted that he was
On work relief, and Marley could
not fire him.
Thereupon, taking advantage of
the fact that Sawchuk was lifting a
load of bricks and could not defend
himself, Marley brutally struck
him, and told him he was dis
charged.
The worker went to the nearby
French Hospital, where his badly
bruised head was X-rayed and
treated. When he came out of the
hospital, the union leader signed
complaint against Markley. Accom-
panied py a ponceman, ne went
back to the job and served the
supervisor with summons After
Marley took the subpoena, he took
the policeman to one side and spoke
to him for some time. When the
officer returned Sawchuk told him
he wanted to get the names of other
workers who had seen him struck.
Instead of going with the worker,
this officer, whose shield number is
1881, refused to allow Sawchuk to
talk to the witnesses, and chased
him from the project.
A delegate, Cassidy, from Local
e5 of the A. F. of L., came down to
the job to investigate the case, but
left Immediately when he learned
that the worker was a member of
an independent union.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
4 LOAN FIRMS
STUDY CITY GAS
PURCHASE PLAN
Situation Is very Hopeful,
Mayor Says After
Conference.

Agents for four big financial
houses returned to their home Of
fees today to discuss the feasibility
of a 100000 loan to finance the
city's acquisition of the Citizens Gas
Company following a meeting yes
terday with Mayor Reginald H. Sui
Ivan and utility district board
trustees.
Although no definite propositions
we're placed before the mayor yes
terday because the financial houses
wished more time to discuss the
legality of the loan, it appeared that
loan would be obtained in the
future. The mayors office today said
that the situation was very hope
full"
The representatives expressed the
belief that revenue bonds would not
be popular on the present market
unless son. provision is made to
levy a tax to pay bond interest and
maturitieS.
The provision for tax levy would
be applicable only if revenues of the
property are inadequate to defray
operating expenses and leave enough
surplus to pay bond interest and
maturities. Considerable objection
r-oe voiced to the $3.50 tax law,
which according to one agent, would
be a large obstacle to overcome in
issuance of bonds.
Should the city obtain the loan
the procedure will be to assume
title of the property by paying of
the stock and retiring the bonds
upon maturity or upon demand OF
the holders.

Snake Show Is Feature

The Theatrical n orLd-
BY WALTER ID. HICKMAN

NEVER before have I been at a
L chicken dinner where the guests
we're eight pythons.
The guests" were not overpar-
ticular for the menu of live chicken
Only one python succeeded in
crushing the life out Of a nice fry,
This unique banquet" was the fea-
ture yesterday afternoon at the py-
thon show with the Gooding Greater
Shows at the state fair.
To me a fair isn't a fair unless
it has a midway and this midway
has more snake shows than I've
ever seen at one time. Just like
a youngster at a carnival, 1 want
to see everything and fall for about
everything.
But this python show is interest
ing because eight of these enormous
reptiles are on exhibition. PythonS
eat only once in thirty-two to
thirty-five days. Then, a live
chicken is placed in the cage with
the reptile.
One snake called spot" didn't
strike and we were informed that
spot" just hadn't come in" one
way of saying he didn't have an
appetite.
One very large python did strike
at his chicken. squeezed it to death
but refused to eat. So this one
will 60 without food until his APP
petite arrives.
This exhibition is interesting, pro-
vided one is interested in live
snakes.

$4,000 GRANT GIVEN
FOR SEWAGE PLANT
Original $4,000 Loan Changed al
Request of City.

The Public Works Administration
has released a grant of $4,000 for
installation of new cookers at the
garbage disposal plant here in place
of a grant and loan of $4,000 which
the city had requested and obtained
previously, according to dispatches
from washington.
Maurice E. Tenant, sanitary
board president, said today that the
city had requested the change be-
cause it was unable to post the
necessary security for the $4,000
demanded by the government under
the $3.50 tax law.
Mr.. Tenant said that probably
the additional $4,000 would be
raised by bond issue.
