probably result in one Of the bitterest
campaigns in the history Of Tennessee.
The final debate will take place at
Brownsville on June II, some two
weeks prior to the primary which will
decide the fate Of the contestants. The
feeling between the Patterson and
Carmack factions is exceedingly bit

it is unlikely that the campaign will
be brought to a conclusion without
bloody fights and fatalities among the
partisans and candidates.

before a subcommittee Of the house iu-

Iowa, has developed among the labor
leaders. President Gompers of the

Danbury hatters to the registration
provisions Of the Hepburn bill Labor
will not submit to have their contracts

ness, says Mr. Gompers, and this op-
lnion is apparently shared by all the

try.

How Gary Solved Problem

The reason that Gary has been so
remarkably immune from poverty and
restitution in the past few months and
especially in the last week, was ex-
planned today by the trustee of Calu-
met township, William Kunert. The
manner in which he deals with the
foreign populace who are principally
affected by the hard times, shows very
clever and successful work
1t is a surprising fact that when
Hammond and Indiana Harbor were
faced with the gravest situation dur
ing the entire period of financial de-
preston, Mr.. Kunert has not had one
appeal for aid from any section of the
territory under his jurisdiction. For
the period from April Z up to today
the township has not been asked to
give one cent or to donate a particle
of clothing or food to the needy in
Gary. Previous to this time he had
spent over $1,000 in aiding the desti-
tute.
The way in which the Gary foreign
ers are handled is as simple as it is
effective. In the first place, the i'm
migrants Of each nationality were care
fully instructed in ways and means in
which they could help each other.
Gathering more than dozen of them
together in his office, Mr. Kunert ex-
planned to them through interpreters
how through mutual interests, their
knowledge of each others condition and
their duty to their countrymen, the
needy among them should be assisted
by those who are more fortunate. The
several groups which were talked to
in this manner took the advice seri-
ously and spread the information from
camp to camp, and from shack to shack
and those who were able, have given
literally to those who have appealed
| for help.
Mr.. Kunert in a minute investiga-
ton has found many cases in which
those who received assistance from the
| county in the previous month, are now
| receiving support from their friends
| They are relying on their countrymer
instead of the public in general The
| aid which was given them was found
to be in the form of loans of money tc
a large extent instead Of in the form
of gift. This will be returned tt
them in times of prosperity when the
men are able to return to work.
In great majority of cases it wa.
discovered that the foreigners whit
| were in restitution were the ones tina
