SHELTER RESIDENTS ASK FOR
CHANCE TO EARN LIVING

CHANCE TO EARN LIVING
BY G. FuIk.
We don't understand why we are
not entitled to better wage than
we are now getting. Of course we
understand the times are hard and
we appreciate everything the gov
eminent is doing for us, but we are
unable to buy clothing good enough
to look presentable for any kind of
an indoor job and the farmers aren't
paying anything for farm labor.
So if the citizens should by any
means see fit to consider and help
the people in your community to
better wage, we, who are very much
in need of same, would appreciate
any step taken to see that we could
leave the shelters of indianapolis
and get a job Of work to be on our
own.
At present we are working for
about 10 cents a day, never more
than 25 cents day. and we have
been doing this for year. If there
- Oily (l1d1lCC VI Jul 5CbbAA45 OAA
some Of these new projects it would
be much better than our present
condition. We went to and from
work all winter and spring in all
kinds of weather and we honestly
think we are entitled to some kind
of labor with a better wage, so we
can live like we did few years ago
Quite a number of us have gone to
country jobs for almost no wages
and lot of us have mothers, sisters
and relatives who need our help, and
if we could earn better wage we
could take them off the relief roll
as well as ourselves.
We now thank the citizens for all
the help they have given us and we
also thank you in advance for any
help you may give us in getting jobs
so we can be on our own again and
support our relatives.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., April 27.-
Postal inspectors announced today
the solution of the sl29 900 mail truck
robbery at Fall River. Mass. last

They said that all the robbers are

covered.
Charges have been made naming
four men. The authorities say they
know the identity of others. but are
withholding their names until arrests
are made. Seventeen persons have
been arrested.
The solution came less than s6
hours after the Staying of Andrew
Merola, number pool" operator, car
thief and gangster. He was trailed
for days by Federal agents and Provi-
dence detectives, up to the very mo-
ment he left this city at 2 o'clock
Thursday afternoon to go to his dea tn
in Wrentham, Mass.
The Federal men had laid plans for
wholesale raids to clean up the Fall
River robbery when word reached
them of Merola's murder. The killing
of one of their chief suspects spurred
them into action and late last night
they began a series OF forays which
included a descent on the Warwick
estate where the arsenal of guns was
uncovered and part of the cash re-
covered.

spiracy to rob the United States mails

HOw Dura Fell.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, April 27-A
tunnel excavated by the Persians in
ESQ B. C. beneath one corner of the
30-foot wall about the ancient city
Of Dura on the Euphrates River in
Syria was disclosed today by Yale
University as probably one of the
most important discoveries in mill
tary history.
Clark Hopkins, field director of the
Yale expedition. which for the last
few years has been excavating the
city of Dura and who has Just re-
turned from the scene of operations.
said that while several of these tun-
nelS or SapS had been uncovered pre-
viously. this latest one revealed the
entire plan of attack as executed by
the Persians.
Preserved with other priceless finds
through the ingenious banking of the
walls from the city by the Roman
defenders in their effort to keep them
from falling under the Persian at
tack, the tunnel is one of the earliest
examples of military strategy and
science.
During the siege, which caused the
city to fall into the hands Of the at
tackerS. the PerSians conceived the
idea OF tunneling beneath one of the
walls at the corner where it sup
ported a tower in such a way that
small force could enter the city, fall
upon the Romans a. they fought a
much larger force on a ramp brought
against the outside of the wall nearby
and annihilate them.
The plan worked and the city was
sacked, with hundreds not slain being
carried away as slaves of the at
tackers.

The Presidents drive to provide
Jobs for 3,500,000 persons by July
has given one Federal agency the
MacAbre business of estimating how
many will be killed or injured through
their employment.
Actuaries of the United States EN-
ployes' Compensation Commission will
compute the figures to determine how
much of the S4.880, ,000, 900 work-re-
lief fund shall be set aside as COM
pensation for the injured or depend
ents of those killed.
During the civil works program, the
commission estimated there would be
80 injuries per 100000 man hours
of employment. of which rs would
cause temporary disability. IS per-
manent disability. and 5 death.
436.800 Injuries Seen.
On that basis. If the 3,5000O0 men
to be given relief jobs work 80 hours
a week each in the next year. there
would be 436.800 injuries and 2,73O
deaths.
AT the time the C. w. A. estimate
was prepared" William McCauley,
secretary of the commission. said.
The commission was informed that
the program would involve 1876 ,000.-
900 man hours of employment. Our
frequency rate, which. was more or
less arbitrary. would call for l43 $50
injuries and 898 deaths.
The records Of the commission
show that l66 538 cases of injury have

2,73O Deaths, 1868 Injuries
Expected on Ne,U Relief Jobs

been reported from civil works en-
ployment.
The records further indicate that
the severity rate was too high for
fatal cases that 764 fatal cases
were reported to the commission. but
less than half of this number has
been found compensate
The work-relief law provides for
the extension Of compensation al
rates provided for c. w. A. workers
and Civilian Conservation Corps mem
bers to persons who receive Sc
curity payments as employees Of the
United States"
States May Pay Loss.
This was interpreted by McCauley
as meaning that persons employed
on State or municipal projects financed
by Government loans. or projects let
by private contract, would not be
eligible, but would come under State
workmen's compensation laws.
McCauley said he would be unable
to estimate the number of injuries
or deaths which would come before
the commission until information was
available on the number of persons
the number of man hours and the
type of work.
Under the law, compensation is linn
tied to $500 in case of death, and
s25 a month for disabilities under q
schedule providing seven weeks CON-
pensation for loss of fourth finger.
and ranging up to $50 weeks COM
pensation for loss of an arm.

works relief bill is in line with the
the chief aim is to furnish relief for
the idle. Since the underlying mo-
tive was to give relief, rather than
prime the pump, officials say, 1t was
logical for the administration to re-
sist the move to force payment of
prevailing wages"
Lighter Relief Rolls Sought.
The first objective Is to create jobs
on public works for 3,500,000 able
bodied persons now on relief rolls. 1t
is felt that, for every person thus
directly employed by the public, an
other person will receive indirect en-
ployment. BY this figuring, 1000. 900
should be lifted from the relief rolls.
In addition, 1t Is estimated that there
are 3,500,000 who are physically in
capacitated - unemployables and
hence subject to care by State agencies
In this manner. the administration
hopes to be able to take 10,5OO, 900 of
the relief rolls by July /, 1886 Leaders
are apprehensive, however, that when
the present program Is completed
private industry will be unable to
absorb all the 100000 who are ex-
pected to be given work by the new
program of public expenditure. The
money is expected to be exhausted in
a year and two months. incidentally
at the beginning of the presidential
campaign. Unless, more money and
work are available Immediately at
public expense, that means throwing
3,500.000 directly out of jobs. assuming
the President succeeds in putting that
many to work and that private in
dustry proves unable gradually to cut
down that number in the coming year

now is estimated at about So, 600 ,000, ,0OO

q year, and the new fund provides
only 81, 900, 900 900 additional for the
next fiscal year. 1t is pointed out by
the more skeptical that the pace of
expenditure cannot be greatly speeded
in any event. 1t cannot greatly in
crease the pressure of pump priming
it Is explained, and there Is yet the
chronological advance to take into
account.
While the establishment of old-age
pension, unemployment insurance and
shorter work weeks are expected to
help offset these adverse factors, they
are not considered sufflcient to
counterbalance them. The effect is to
confront the country with the prospect
Of carrying a permanently heavier
relief load. There are some high in
the New Deal councils who think that
an effective way to care for a great
many OF the otherwise unemployed OF
the future, without impairing their
self-respect, is to expand the public
service throughout the country. 1t is
pointed out that, In Italy. for instance
Mussolini has developed a superior
system of street cleaning with men who
otherwise would have no jobs and that
the effect Is good for both the men and
the public morale.
