PHYSICIST LECTURES ON HIS FLIGHT Dr. J. Piccard Teels Meeting He Wants to Learn About Cosmic Rays Dr.

Jean Piccard, the eminent physicist who will ascend Into the stratosphere from the World's Fair in a few days, told a capacity luncheon meeting of the Hammond Chamber of Commerce yesterday noon that his flight will be made solely to learn more about the mysterious cosmic rays. Whence they come, where they go, the degree of their intensity In the rare atmosphere above and the possibility of harnessing them for commercial purposes these are some of the things which Dr. Piccard said he will strive to learn after he has reached the "ceiling" of the earth, 11 miles above. "We know so little about the cos mic rays," he said, "that our present experiments may be compared with those which Introduced the radio or the automobile to the world." He explained the elementary principles, of cosmic rays, stating- they emanate from the sky and decrease in intensity as they approach the earth. The decrease, Dr.

Piccard stated, is not uniform, but somewhat erratic in different altitudes. "Our mission," he said! "is to ascertain wJiether, or not these powerful rays are adaptable to commercial The flight he will make Into the nether regions of the earth's almost phere involves many complications and preparations which1 onljf a scientist could understand.

STEEL WORKERS HOLD MEETING More than S0O Gary steel workers took initial steps to organize into a union for the first time since the serious strikes of 1910 last night when they gathered in the audi torium of Pulaski hotel.

C. Deal of the Chicago Federation of Labor was the principal He told his attentive and receptive audience that they need have no fear of losing their jobs in the event they join the union. Deal declared that the national Industry recovery act specifically requires the organization of unions, trade association and similar bodies in all industries. Deal stated: "Any union but one organized by yourselves will never represent you A company union is controlled by the company and is not operated In your interest. "Labor does not wish to dictate but it does want an equal voice in the determination of working con ditions and wages.

The federal government has given labor a new bill of rights in the industrial recovery act and you may organize without fear of losing your Jobs." Deal pointed out that under the terms of the recovery act employers are barred, with penalties prescribed, from interfering with the organization of their employes. The mills workers, many of them returning to employment for the first tie in two and three years, cheered in the demands of Deal for "a living wage" and shorter work ing hours.

By SAVDOR S. KLEIN (United Press Staff Correspondent) ALBANY, N. July 14 The kidnap gang that abducted John L.

O'Connell, heir to the powerful O'Donnell political empire, tortured his family today by refusing to enter Into negotiations for his return.

CAMPAIGN Trade Associations Stepping Into the National Limelight By CHARLES P. STEWART (Central Press Staff Writer) WASHINGTON. D. C. July 14.

Whatever the effect of President Roosevelt's recovery campaign may be- upon other industries, there is lying that the industry of for advantages from the government has been enormously stimulated. Just at present the commece de partment is the center of it. Still, the "fixers' are prominently In evidence everywhere that read justments are in process of being made under the terms of the "new deal" for example, at the treasury and R. F. C.

headquarters, at the Interior, agriculture and justice departments and at the federal trade commission's offices; also, of course, when the president is in town, at the White House. Undoubtedly, too, they will swarm on Capitol Hill as never before at the next session of congress. TRADE ASSOCIATIONS The most conspicuous folk are representatives of the various trade associations brought into existence by establishment of the industrial revival dictatorship. Presidents, executive secretaries, legislative experts, legal advisers and miscellaneous additional functionaries of these bodies began to appear in Washington with almost unbelievable rapidity following passage of the recovery act. Within a week the number of suites they had opened in the capital must have rjfcwell into the hundreds.

vst as there already were many lawyers who specialized in the devising of methods by which income taxation might be evaded, a new crop has sprung up which seeks to establish a practice in advising clients as to means of profiting by twisting the industrial statute to their particular benefit. FARMERS' HELPERS! There likewise is a class (against which the agriculture department has broadcast warning, indeed, but it fs difficult to say how effectively) which undertakes to enable individual farmers to lay successful claim to levies on the proce sers without cutting down their crop acreages in equal proportion with -their neighbors. Labor organizations, never before represented in the Capital City, likewise are moving into offices here, preparatory to taking a hand in the collective wage bargaining provided for the latest code and, naturally, corresponding organizations of employers are preparing to combat them. It is too soon to do more than guess at the volume of business of this sort that the new deal has created, but it is amazing. Manifestly, It is only in its infancy.

Schonert of Ham mond today their full support-and cooperation in obtaining federal funds for the construction of pub lie works within the city. They specifically stated that they supported the following building projects: 1 Completion -of the new city hall; construction of a water filtration plant; separation of grade cross lngs; a sewage disposal system, and the construction of four new school buildings to replace some of the portables at" present maintained by the school board. They met this morning with Mayor Schonert in his office and after an hour's conference left, de claring themselves satisfied with the efforts of the administration to obtain federal loans for its public works program. Present at the meeting were: F. W.

McCoy of the ironworkers' union, William Rohr berg of the painters' and building trades, Elmer McKay of the elec trical workers' brotherhood, Martin Peterson of the boilermakers" union, Frank Dunham of the plasters' and finishers' local, George Eberle of the labprers' union, Burr Burnham representing the plumbers, E. J. Dwyer of the steam fitters union, and Glen Warne of the roofers local. These men expressed themselves as believing that four more school buildings are an absolute necessity lo Hammond. They believe that the citizens of the city have never had a more op portune time to obtain the public works the municipality so sorely needs.

Thirty per cent of every gov ernment loan extended to the city, they point out, is an outright grant. Although none of them expects the building projects to increase local taxes, they asserted that even if taxes were slightly Increased the city would benefit nevertheless. For through the channels of trade would flow the money expended in wages on the construction work. They heartily approved Mayor Schonert's sentiment when he said, "We must go out and back Roosevelt's program. The president wants us to build and to put men to work; we are ready to do both, as soon as the funds are released for the purpose by the federal government." The mayor told t'he union representatives that plans for the water filtration plant and the remainder of the new city hall were already drawn completely.

As soon as President Roosevelt appoints the public works administrator for Indiana, the city would, apply for the loans it needs. STATE BOARD SAVESS253.843.36 INDIANAPOLIS, July 14. (U.P.)
