Papers.
HERMAN LEADS CRUSADE
Out of 200 men in the Cudahy pack
ing plant, who had not taken out
first papers. l4l were persuaded to
do so through the agency of f. E.
Herman, Young Mems Christian asso-
citation director here. The "Y" man
cooperating with Head Timekeeper
Powell OF the packing plant, cam
Tassed the various departments in the
plant and talked to the men who had
not yet become citizens.
On company's time the willing ones
were taken in groups of twenty and
forty each to the county court house
and application made for first papers.
A similar canvass of other plants is
planned by the alert association repre-
sentative.
There are large number of work
men here who refuse to take out their
papers," Mr.. Herman said Saturday.
They give as their reason the fact
they intend to go back home as soon
as the war is over. My idea is that
they could go back now as well as
then" In the last six months it is
estimated that more than 1000 men,
most of them packing houses laborers,
have been naturalized through the
scare of impending war and possible
deportation.
