STRIKE OF SvvITCHMEN IN
ILLINOIS Threatens TO
SHUT DOWN Steel MILLS

CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-As the sixth
day of the strike of the switchmen of
the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern rail-
way opened Tuesday, the situation at
the steel mills in Gary, Ind, and
South Chicago, ILL.,, became critical.
OFFICIALS at both plants were reti-
cent as to the effect the strike had
ALREADY had upon their output, but
were frank in acknowledging that un-
less some settlement is brought about
soon tnelr plants will have to be shut
down. The railroad supplies practi-
cally all their material.
Inc switchmen are still holding out
Tor a wage increase. Officials of the
company have announced they will
deal only through the brotherhoods,
while the men hold they have no con-
nectlons with the unions and that the
matter is an individual affair. ;.

The liberty.Loan.
BY SECRETARY McADOO.>

The congress of the United States
has authorized the secretary of the
treasury to sell to the American peo-
pie bonds Of the United States bearing
4 per cent interest, with valuable tax
exemptions, and convertible under GER
tain conditions into other issues of
United States bonds that may be au
thorized by the congress.
There is now offered to the Ameri-
can people a new issue of $3,O0O,O00,-
900 Of bonds to be known as the Sec
ond Liberty Loan. They will be is
sued in such denominations and upon
such terms that every patriotic citizen
will have an opportunity to assist the
government by lending his money up
on the security of a United States gov
eminent bond.
It is essential to the success of the
war and to the support of our gallant
troops that these loans shall not only
be subscribed, but oversubscribed. No
one is asked to donate or give his
money to the government; but every
one is asked to lend his money to the
government. The loans Will pe repaid
In full with interest at the rate of
per cent per annum. A government
bond is the safest investment in the
world; it is as good as currency and
yet better, because the government
bond bears interest and currency does
not. No other investment compares
with it for safety, ready convertibiii,y
into cash, and unquestioned avail.
ability as collateral security for loans
in any bank in the United States.
People by thousands ask the treas
ury constantly how they can help the
government in this war. Through. the
purchase of Liberty Bonds every one
can help. No more patriotic duty can
be performed by those who cannot act
ually fight upon the field of battle than
to furnish the government with the
necessary money to enable, it, to give
our brave soldiers and sailors all that
they require to make them strong for
the fight and capable of winning a.
swift victory over our enemies.
I appeal to every man and woman
WHO resides upon the soil of free
America and enjoys the blessings of
her priceless institutions to Join the
League Of Patriots by purchasing a
Liberty Bond.
