A LETTER FROM THE CARPENTERS

To the Editor:
And to the Business Men of the Calu-
met Region
Inasmuch as it is a well known fact
that wages of laboring men are spent
in the district in which he lives, that
virtually all wages thus earned are put
into circulation and thus business men
naturally get the profit on the business
thus done the surplus if any, is placed
in the banks and used to improve the
district by loan through the banks.
Now there is a movement in Gary in
the open shop contest now on which
means in the last anaIasis only longer
hours less pay and less stability OF
employment. The working men expect
and have organized to obtain as large
a share as possible of their product

ployment sweat shops. convict labor

Ignorance and crime.

The ways OF the press agent are

devious. Notice the case Of Santa

Santa Barbara caters to the winter
resorter of the multi-millsonaire and
upper society class 1t is one of
scores of similar places on the CONT
nent and competition for patronage
is keen. Advertising in the news
columns can not be bought but the
willy press agent gets the advertising
and space rates in addition.
He tells of an author playing ball
in February, and then proceeds to
give the names of the players, names
that are known from coast to coast.

TRACTION LINE DELAYS.

Last year after one of the hardest
fights in the history of the traction
business in Lake County the East
Chicago city council passed a fran
chise ordinance granting the Ham
mond, Whiting & East Chicago Rail-
way Company rights in that city.
The agitation at that time was the
principal topic of conversation in
three cities; East Chicago, Indiana
Harbor and Hammond. The entire
community was wrought up in the
settling of the questions involved.
At the same time the Gary & In
terurban Railway Company secured
franchise rights in East Chicago.
Both companies made solemn
promises that the lines in the streets
covered by their franchises would be
built before the expiration of their
franchises.
The Gary & Interurban has made
splendid progress in the work of con-
struction. The Gary-Indiana Har-
Dor line is about completed. The
Gary Interurban has the reputation
OF living up to its franchise agree
ments.
The Hammond, Whiting &, East
Chicago Railway Company, on the
other hand, has built only it's share
of the track where joint trackage
rights have been secured.
THE TIMES suggests that the
Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago
Railway Company had better not
take chances on securing an exten.
sion of its franchise rights in East
Chicago. II it does it does not un-
derstand the temper of the people
there.
The people of the Calumet region
expect the Hammond, Whiting, East
Chicago line to have it work of con.
struction completed within the time
limit fixed in its franchise Delay
will be dangerous.

POLICEMAN is ACQUITTED.
At the City Council meeting at
Bloomington Policeman Henry f. Dud-

against him by Richard Brown. One

warrant for the arrest of Brown when
another Richard Brown was wanted
and the other accused the OFFICER of
extorting money. The Council adopted
a resolution appropriating $500 with
which to purchase auto truck and
equipment for the fire department.
