SAN DIEGO. Cal, Feb. 2O.-After
the meeting Of the original 30" in
the home OF Mrs. Sydney Scott the
evening Of April %. 1894, at which
the first Townsend Old Age Re
volving Pension Plan group was
formed in San Diego, the missionary
work began.
And they had all the zeal Of mis-
sionsrieSl
All other activities we're can
cellsd. Little group meetings were
held. The labor group was con-
tacted. Ministers heard this latest
gospel OF economic salvation, as the
Townsendites called it. II was
mentioned in lodge rooms. One of
the earliest organization meetings
was that Of the Council Of COlored
Women, which asked to have the
plan explained.
A surprise at this meeting was
that one colored woman, a leader
among her people, had already read
an outline Of the plan in the Con-
gresSional Record, and was able to
give even the proponents of the plan
some new facts about it.
5000 Members Added
May II, little more than
month after one lone man had
brought the idea to San Diego and
succeeded in arousing several club
women TO activity for it, a great
mass meeting was held in Russ
Auditorium. Newspapers were
warned to expect a crowd. But not
even the Townsendites expected the
crowd that damned the auditorium.
Thousands stood outside because
they couldn't get in.
At that meeting DR.. Townsend
himself explained his plan. He was
comparatively obscure then. When
he finished speaking, he had added
5000 more workers to his organiza-
ton.
Drive Launched Anew
He told how, according to his
theory. $500 a month could be pro-
vided for every man or woman over
so in the United States as an old
age pension WHAT ne said there
has become the battle cry of 100,-
600 in the county.
He left, amazed at the enthusiasm
he had aroused. He went back to
Long Beach, rallied more of his
friends there, and the Townsend
Old Age Pension movement was
launched anew, with cash resources
by August, one of two groups re-
ports shows. of only $3.50.
But that was six months ago. It's
different now.
Today millions of his followers are
beginning to talk of him as a can
didate for President.
Next-What some Of the old folks
will DO with the pension-if they
get it.

THE INDIANAPOLIs TIMES
HOUSE DROPS
$1,000 TAX ON
CHAIN STORES
Fair Trade Bill Also Is
Rejected by Decisive
Marqin.

The Indiana House of Represent
atives has decisively rejected the
Dyer bill to impose $1,000 tax on
chain stores.
The lower house of the General
Assembly yesterday voted to in
definitely postpone action on the
measure after a committee had sub
mitted such a recommendation.
At the same time, the Representa-
tives killed Rep. Dyer's fair trade
bill which would have made unlaw-
full price cutting of brand goods.
This measure also was indefinitely
postponed, 1922.
Dyer Urges Adoption
The "fair trade" bill was beaten
after Rep. j. Napier Dyer Cd,
Vincennes), its author, had made an
appeal for its adoption and termed
Republican opposition an indication
of that party's support of special
privilege"
Rep. H. H. Evans (R., NeWcaStle),
strong opponent of the bill, assert
ed he had received more kilograms
of protest against the measure than
any other pending in the General
Assembly. Rep. Carl Woodland Cd,
Michigan City said he had received
many requests for its passage.
The chain store licensing bill
would fix store licenses at 81 for
single store; SIS each for two and
three stores under one ownership;
$40 each for four and five; $50 each
for six to ten; $3.50 each for II to
Is; $500 each for Is to 20, and
$1,000 for each store over 20.
Opposed by Chain Firms
The measure was bitterly opposed
by chain store firm representatives
at public hearing. Those oppos-
ing the measure we're Robert Mohl-
man, Lafayette, representing Kroger
Grocery and Baking Co.; Ben
Lewis, Indianapolis, Atlantic and
Pacific Tea Co.; Chester Jackson,
Indianapolis, Standard Grocery
Co., and John Hook, Indianapolis,
representing Hook Drug Co.
They denounced the bill as an
effort to drive chain stores out Of
business. If such stores we're legls-
lated out of business, the committee
was told, commodity prices would
rise.

DEPT. OF LABOR
CONDUCTS INQUIRY
Complaints Filed Alleging
Violations of Minors
Employment Law

Investigation of claims that the
new state regulations for the en-
ployment of minors are being vio-
lated in this city is underway on
the part Of the state department of
labor, The Democrat was informed
today. The investigation is said to
have begun last week, shortly after
a ruling from the Office of the
state encouragement had clarified
several portions of the law, which
went into effect the st.
Assistant Attorney General F. J..
Discessa ruled that under the new
state rule establishments listed as
mechanical and mercantile" in
clude manicur-ng and hairdressing
shops, barber shops, cleaning and
dyeing shops, also receiving sta
tions for cleaners and dyers. The
law, as passed by the general as
sembly, forbids the employment of
persons under Is in these places
except at certain times and under
certain conditions.
Workers less than 16 years old
cannot be employed at any time.
Women and persons under 10 can
not work in such places earlier
than a. m. nor later than 10 p.
m. Women and those under Is can
not work more than nine hours in
one day nor more than 4s hours a
week.
The bill, when passed, had the
support of organized labor. One of
its effects, it was claimed, would
be to end long hours for women
and minors working in mercantile
and mechanical adjustments.
