CONCILIATORS
ON WAY HERE
Washington Officials Will
Attempt to End City
silk Strike.

Two conciliators. instructed to at
tempt to settle the hosiery workers
strike, today were reported to be pre-
pairing to leave Washington for In
dianapolis.
Compromise decision of the ma
ticnal labor board yesterday, which
denied request of hosiery mill Strik-
ers for minority recognition by the
company, instead Of being forced to
deal with the company union, did
not concern the strike.
The decision was based on a re-
quest of the regional labor board
several months ago for a ruling on
the election held last October in
which Real Silk mill employees voted
for the company union and against
representation by the Full-FaSh-
:oned Hosiery workers Federation.
The national board held the cleo
ton should have been for a period
CT enc year from last October, and
not for life of NRA, thus requiring
a new election before next October
One of the two conciliators re-
ported to be leaving for Indianapolis
late today is a representative of the
national board, and the other a rep
resentative of Miss Frances Perkins,
labor secretary.
Union officials, following the de-
cision, announced 1900 union men,
bers had voted unanimously TO con-
tinue the strike until the union is
recognized by the Real Silk COM
pany and the company signs the
national labor agreement.
Company officials declared the
ruling upholds their stand that the
union employees must utilize serv-
ices of the Employees Mutual Bene-
fit Association for collective bar
gaining purposes.
William Smith, Philadelphia, gen.
eral secretary Of the hosiery workers
federation, said a meeting of dye
house workers union was being held
today to determine if this union
would call a sympathetic strike.
The striekrs will hold a dance at
$50 tonight in the Antlers, he said.
A number Of hosiery workers from
Fl. Wayne are expected to attend.
Resolution upholding stand of the
Real Silk mill officials in the strike
situation was adopted yesterday by
the indianapolis Board of Trade
governing committee.
The resolution declared that "the
Real Silk mill, one of the most sue
cessful industries and among the
largest employers of labor in Indi-
annapolis, for many years has main
tanned satisfactory relations with it's

Ivan, reported that suspicious cars,
carry five armed men, had stopped
at his gas station.
Mr.. Feeney Immediately sent out
alarms to all nearby cities, but the
gangsters were not sighted in the
southern part Of the state again.
Last night Perry c. Granvil. a
farmer of Albion, reported that
three armed men and two women
riding in Ford va. haid aimed a
machine gun at him as he at
tempted to follow them along roads
in the northern part of the state.
Reports of persons who are pur-

police officials to think that the
gangsters had moved from Allen

world.

"A few businesses, either through
ignorance or greed, are failing to
live up to NRA requirements said
Mr.. Hoke.
Many people know of conditions
where employees are not receiving
wages to which they are entitled,
or are forced to work too long
hours, but they do not notify us be-
cause they do not know just how
to go about it.
Procedure Is Listed

absolutely confidential unless the
complainant says in writing that his
name may be used.
No special form is necessary in
filing the complaint but it is desir-
able that the apaproved forms be
used These ferns may be obtained
from all first. second or third-class
postofices. or from the office of the
Indiana director of the national
emergency council on the second
floor of the Chamber of Commerce
building.
Suits May Be Filed
"All complaints should be sent to
these same offices. They should not
be submitted to local MIRA comph-
ance boards.
All complaints will be investi-
gated by a field adjuster. who will
attempt to have the condition cor
rected If this fails, the case will be
referred to the department of JUS
tice or the federal trade commits
sion for appropriate action.
In cases where wages paid have
not been up to code requirements,
if requested by the employe, we will
endeavor to secure back wages. If
we are unsuccessful. the employee
has the right to sue in local court.
A number of such cases already
have been decided in favor of en-
ployes.
1--WE are not looking for oppor-
tunities to prosecute or persecute
any one. Mr.. Hoke concluded, but
we arec harged with the response
bility of promoting compliance with
NRA in Indiana and we will not
shirk our duty

The feature, attractive to Admin

Mr.. Hopkins estimated the rural
