built at a cost Of 10000 in the new
second subdivision of the Gary Land

This announcement comes as a blow
to the union men who had hoped that
there would be no stfpulations attached
the Employers Builders and Material
Mems association regard the affair as a
signal victory and a big wedge for
more OF the open shop policy.
Absolute denial is made of the story
that was printed in two of the Gary
papers Saturday that the contracts
would be let to association men to the
exclusion of all others. Company off,
Gals say that there are no restrictions
attached. The best bidder will get the
Job and the association has no monopoly

WILL HOLD
PRIMARY
ELECTION

The most unusual primary election
that has ever been held in West Ham
mond is scheduled for tomorrow. Half
OF the population of the village is of
the opinino that the primaries are reg
ular and will be declared so when 1t
comes to the final show down." and
the rest of the population is of the
opinion that the primaries are Illegal
and that it will take only an order of
the court TO have the vote declared
void and to throw the expense upon
those who have urged the holding Of
them.
There will be three tickets in the
field: the citizens the peoples. and the
democratic. old Peter Maak is a lone
candidate on the democratic ticket but
his odorous reputation the presi-
dent of the village will eliminate him
from consideration.
AS soon as the primaries are over
those who think they are being held in
defiance of the law will file an order
with the court to have them declared
illegal. 1t will then devolve upon the
winning candidates to defend their
nomination or pay the cost of holding
the primaries.
There are so many conflicting cliques

THINKS THAT LEGISLATORS
SHOULD CONSULT BOARDS

1t is now known by actual experience
that 40 percent of school children are
either physically defective or sick and
need medical attention. This fact
shows that education is to a consider
able degree a medical problem. Child
rem with defective eyesight, defective
hearing, defective breathing apparatus
cannot do not make strong, vigorous
and useful citizens. Those having
these defects should have them remov-
ed and then it is possible to make men
and women OF them. Wherever the
medical inspection act is adopted and
put into force it will soon be discovered
that money is being saved in large
quantities because of the Increased eff
