WHEELER HITS
RESTAURANT
WAGE SCALES
Proposed Code viii Bring
Drastic Salary Cuts,
City Man Says.

Charging that wages for res
taurant help as provided in the
wage scale of the proposed code
for restaurants will bring drastic
wage cuts, w. o. Wheeler, president
of the Indiana Restaurant Associa-
ton, today criticised sharply the
code conditionally signed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Mr.. Wheeler stated last night
that wages under the code will be
even less than they are now under
the provisions of the temporary
code placed in effect some time ago.
He charged that less than 10 per
cent of the Indiana restaurants are
abiding by the code.
Surprised at Labor View
It guess we'll have to turn around
and fight on the side of labor fol
higher wages" Mr. Wheeler de-
clared." 1 am surprised that labor
interests permitted the code to be
written with those wages scale ano
hour provisions. We expected a
maximum for forty hours for fe-
male help and forty-eight hours fol
male help, with the wage at 26 OF
q cents an hour.
Mr.. Wheeler disclosed that the
restaurant code establishes a six
day work week, with a maximum of
f1fty-four hours for male help and
forty-eight hours for female help
The code provides that wherever the
hours have been shorter they shall
not be increased to the code level
Wages, according to the provi-
sions of the code, have been estab-
liShed on two scales. Nonservice
employees are to get $12 to SIS week
ly according to the population OF
the community in which they work
Service help are to get $3.50 and
$10.50 with all tips to be kept by
the walters.
Will Call State Meeting
Mr.. Wheeler said that he would
call meeting of the state associ-
alton as soon as copy of the code
is received here. The code is to be-
come effective Feb. 26, it was
learned.
THE provisions adopted yester-
day are exactly what the chiseler
wants." Mr.. Wheeler declared. 1T
will prevent the legitimate res
taurant operator from paying fair
wage because of competitive condi-
tions.
While admitting that the restau-
rant code is not fully satisfactory
from social standpoint, General
Hugh S. Johnson, national NRA
administrator, said that the code
should result in the employment of
more than 1000 additional work
ers.
The code, it was learned, permits
a reduction of SO week for meals
and a deduction for walters uni
forms on an agreement between
employers and employees. The pres
ent temporary agreement provides
wage of $1458 for men and $13
for women with deductions of So
for meals and ST for linen.

a DAY :,
eY BRUCE CATION

VOU are not apt to find any fun
i nier book this fall than MY
Life and Hard Times" by James
Thurber.
This book, I suppose, is an auto
biography-but what an autobiog-
raphy! Told with perfectly
straight face, it includes some OF
the most thoroughly insane anec-
dotes and "reminiscences anybody
ever herd.
There was the time, for instance,
when the residents of Columbus, O.,
thought that & dam had burst and
loosed flood waters on their city.
Everybody started running-young
and old, healthy and inf1rm, male
and female-and what Mr.. Thurber
does with this frantic hegira is
nothing less than sidesplitting.
Then there was the time when
the Thurber family heard footsteps
downstairs at night, suspected bur-
glars, and called the cops; then
grandfather, the old Civil war vet
eran who slept in the attic got the
idea that the cops were deserters
from McClellans army trying to
hide under his bed, and managed
to shoot one before he could be set
straight on things.
Grandfather, in fact, is swell
character, who almost steals the
whole show. He helps make My
Life and Hard Times" a book which
deserves that overworked phrase
"screamingly funny"
Published by Harper's, it sells
for $175.
If you read THE New Yorker, "
you're familiar with o. Soglow's de-
lightful sketches of the little king.

WILLIE MASON
TRIAL is OFF
Indefinite PoStponement of
Case Due to Lack
of Funds.

Indefinite postponement of the
second William H Mason Staying
trial, scheduled to begin Monday
in the Hamilton county circuit court
at NobleSville, was announced today
by Marion county Prosecutor Her
bert E. Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson's statement came after
telephone conversations with Harold
Beeler, Hamilton county prosecutor,
who said that Mason's trial had
been taken off the calendar until
Marion county pays 1910 venue and
attorney costs of the first trial, in
which the jury failed to reach a
verdict.
Possibility of re-indictment of
Mason on the same charge by the
Marion county grand jury and con-
sequent trial in the Marion Grim
inal court was declared by Mr.. VIII
son.
Financial complications in the
case arose Wednesday when Floyd
Christian, defense attorney appoint
ed for Mason, appeared before
Judge Fred E. Hines in Hamilton
circuit court and announced his
withdrawal from the case. He said
action was prompted by failure of
the Marion county council to ap-
propriate his $500 fee for Mason's s
defense.
When Mason was arraigned he
nleaded he was a DauDer. and the
court appointed Mr. Christian to
defend him.
Prosecutor Wilson stated that Mr..
Christian had not applied to the
Marion county council for a spe-
cial appropriation before the first
trial, as is required by law, and as
a result, will not be paid.
Mason is accused of completely

Jones Of the Indianapolis police
force during a holdup year ago.

Horses Disappointing

horses here from Irela n d,
France, Belgium and Sweden
I think the best horses come
from Ireland and France. The

she has been looking them over,

So what, II anything, did that

I didn't have any conscience
Just as some people are born

And If I didn't-how ever was

I didn't know!
And Still don't know! After

should be ashamed to make it.
But I'm not. For I've done my

the folio wing conclusion.
namely:
That much Of those twinges
we call "the voice Of conscience
are nothing of the sort, but are
merely the tweakings of our &C
cumulated peeves, prejudices
and fears.
I realized, of course, that my
self.respect wasn't infallible. It
was instead painfully limited by
my own weakness and stupid
ity. But it was the best I had.
It was the thing that meant
most to me. It represented,
after all, all that I knew OF
good-all that I realized OF
God. It was the highest, as
well as the most ruthless judge
of my conduct.
So, in place of that mythical
conscience which never worked,
I now check by my own self
respect. It isn't easy. Many a
time, the act upon which my
self respect insists, defies con-
viction and raises cain with my
comfort and convenience. often
I have lost the respect OF
others in trying to save my
own and paid bitterly.
And yet-I've never been
really sorry. For when all is
said and done-I must live
with myself. I may fool every
one else-alibi, bluff or come

to wind it up. There it was
inside me-all ready to 60 off.
And the very instant I started
to do something bad, off it
would go. Br.r.r.r-r!
All Of which listened lovely
and was accepted without
question. But presently doubts
began. to arise. Was it all
really quite as simple as that?
Could one so easily tell Right
from Wrong? Maybe some
people could, but 1 couldn't
There was, for example, this
question Of Switching on the
other kids. According to the
Grown-upS, I should come
Right Home and Tell if Jimmy
Jones or Bessie Brown did some
thing they shouldn't. But, on
the other hand, according to
my youthful contemporaries, I
was a Dirty Mean Old Squealer
If I Did.
So-what? Was Switching
right? Or wasn't it? Now, if
ever, was the time for my Con-
science to do its stuff. But
my Conscience didn't. I could
very plainly hear the admoni-
tions of Mother and Dad. And
even more clearly audible were
the comments of Jimmy and
Bessie. But there wasn't even
a zip from my Conscience. So
how was I to know?
Then again, even when my
Conscience kicked up the worst
rumpuS, was that funny feeling
in my tummy a sign that some
thing was wrong? Or was it,
maybe, just a sign that I was
Afraid OF Being Caught? For,
