MAY GET MAP AGENTS
Gary Men Responsible For
Bringing Many PENN
less People to City.

Two Gary map agents can give the
average book agent a 40 yard handicap
and then win in walk. James Johnson
and John Pakkila have inserted adver-
tisements in several papers in the east
ern cities of the United State, especially
in Fitchburg, Mass, and Astabuia, o.,
in which they stated that there is plen-
ty of work in Gary and the Steel COM
pany is providing its employees with
seven room houses free and pays them
no less than So a day wages.
That looked like a very good propo-
sition to great many of the unemployed
in the eastern cities and the replies
come in by the hundreds A circular
was then sent out stating that only by
the purchase of a map of the city of
Gary would the prospective Carlyle be
able to get the information that would
enable him to secure a lucrative posi-
ton in the Indiana Utopia.
The maps were sold at a dollar a
piece and great many of those who
purchased maps came on to Gary with
out any extra money or any prospects
except those that would be furnished
In an ideal socialistic community.
The problem of what to do with these
people who arrive daily is a difficult
one. The appeal is made mostly to
Ffnlanders and when they arrive in
Gary there is positively nothing for
them to do and they become a burden
on the community.
Whether the promoters of the scheme
who are still in Gary may be arrested
on the charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses is unknown but as the
agents give a map for the dollar 1t is
a question whether they can be pun
ished on this charge.
