East Chicago, Ind, Aug. II, 1910.
Editor TINES, Hammond, Indiana.
Dear Sir:-This article is to voice
my sentiment in regard to an article
which you printed in your paper,
doubtlessly from the pen OF you East
Chicago correspondent. in which the
names OF two popular East Chicago
boys are dragged into a column in
which loafers is the title. Now 1 wish
to say that in all fairness to the Nc
Shane boys that they are not loafers,
both having responsible positions in
the American Steel Foundries in the
Harbor and that they live with their
parents on Magoun avenue. Therefore
ask you, Why are they loafers or
such like and why should their good
name be dragged into such column.
The McShane &oys are a type of good
citizens, both being athletes ard OF
quiet dispositions and neither OF whom
has ever had any reason to be arrested
even in the occurrence of a few days
ago. There are plenty of witnesses

THE EXTORTION OF EXPRESS

the sensation Of a man who has
had his pocket picked. The late
attempts TO cloak their ouftrag-
e1us charges BY. doubling, trebling
and puadrupling their capitaliza-
ton and distributing their I'M
earned surpluses have drawn re-
nrwcd attention to their uncon-
sciouSablc plundering.
This quite true, but, if we are
not in errolGit has been settled
that the Interstate Commerce
Commission has the authority to
investigate express rates and to
bring them down to q reas )nabIc

should be lost in making the at

that nothing will he done TO stop

the people Of the country should
unite in a demand upon Congress
for the .estab lisbmeul, of a parcels
post service which after all is the
most effective Iway !of relieving
the public of outrageous eXtortion

The indications are that an ir-
reJtible demand for a parcels
