Mayor Becker of the
"Tricks That Are Vain
and Ways That Are Dark"

Mayor Becker some time ago decided
to create the office of building COM
missioner Union labor in Hammond
heard about it and opined that the
building commissioner ought to be a
union man and carry a card. Labor
was also of the opinion that man
who had worked at one of the build
ing crafts would to have some qualifi-
cations that would especially fit him
for the position.
The matter was taken up in the
Building Trades council. 1t was urged
that a committee be appointed to see
Becker and urge the appointment of a
union man before the law was passed
by the council. 1t was thought at that
stage of the game Becker could not say,
as usual Gentlemen. 1 am sorry to
disappoint you. but I have already
made my appointment"
Couldn't Beat the Czar.
But union labor in Hammond was
not wise enough to get ahead of foxy
Becker A committee. consisting of H.
E. Granger, Peter Smith and John Low
erty. was received by the mayor, and
according to member of the commit
line Of the following ensued
Mr.. Mayor we have heard that you
are about to create the office of build
ing commissioner and We would like
to ask you to appoint a union labor
man to the position; some one who car
ries a union card?"
Mayor Becker replied. 7 am sorry
gentlemen, but l have already appoint
ed my father-in-law TO this position"
But" said the committee of union
men in surprise we thought, in view
of the fact that the Office has not vet
been created. you certainly would not
make the appointment until later"
Had His Mind Made Up.
I have my mind made up" said the
mayor, and the union men left his of
flee wondering whether the office OF
building commissioner was made for
Mayor Beckers fatherin-law. Mr.. Eat
on. or the father-in-law was made for
the office
Later there was some hitch The
criticism OF the mayor was so strong
that he gave "father-in-law another
berth. He now has charge Of the lay
ing of all water pipes in the city.
In the meantime Street Commission
er Kuhlman is also building commits
sioner, with Peter Mosier. Jr. as his
deputy, and neither Of them have cards
or are union men.

MEETING HELD
LAST NIGHT
Means Dawning of New
Epoch for Future Men
of Community.

A city-wide movement for boys has
been started. II is a general moves
ment by boys. among boys and for
boys. Not only has this movement
been started but it is assured that
for period of at least one year Chas.
Hahn. the King Of Boys, will remain
youth of the city.
This arrangement is made possible
through the Mems club of Hammond,
which has taken up the matter and iH
at the present time circulating sub
scriptions among its members and the
business men of the city with the pur-
pose in view of paying Mr.. Hahn a sal
ary during his stay here.
So far the public interest in the
movement for the betterment of the
conditions Of the boys Of Hammond is
so great that the subscriptions are COM
ing in rapidly, and there seems to be
no question of the retention of Mr.
Hahn in the community for the coming
year
Judge Virgil S. Reiter, president Of
the Mems club. has become greatly in
terested in the work that such men as
Judge Willis Brown and Charles Hahn
are doing.
Agreement Is Unanimous.
Judge Reiter stated today that
meeting had been held last night by the
executive committee of the Mems club,
at which It was unanimously decided
that the good that would be done to
the community through Mr.. Hahn's
work here would warrant the club in
taking the initiative and promoting the
matter.
This was the elimination of sever-
al weeks of work that has been done
by Mr.. Hahn and Judge Willis Brown
in arousing public interest in boys.
At the Presbyterian church last We'd
nesday the building was packed by
boys who sat In wrapt attention while
Charles Hahn and Judge Brown talked
to them.
The movement for boys is the teach-
ing of the square deal for everybody
