ginning rentals have been exorbitant.
They constitute an average Of 20 to
40 per cent Of the wages Of the work
ers. They compel the business man
to increase the selling price of his
goods. AS a consequence, the cost
of living has always been greater in
Gary than in any Of the surrounding
towns. This burden has to be borne
by the consumers; the people pay the
bills It is a hardship that, in view
of the wages earned, the workers
should not be called on to bear. Other
articles on high. rents will follow

of a Whitcomb Riley poem. In his

say: Treat your men right; treat
them justly and literally"
To which Doc Smith answers:
Mr.. Gary, the people of the city
that bears your name would like to
know if the wages paid in the steel
plant are in just proportion to the
earnings of the plant? Are the rent
ais required within the limits of a
