Congress Plans TO Spend Sixty
Million Dollars In Various
Parts Of Country for

WASHINGTON, D. c., May L.
The government is about TO appro-
pirate another S60,O00,000 for hous-
ing industrial workers. A bill au-
thorizing the secretary of labor, un
der the direction of the president,
to spend that amount in furnishing
living quarters for employees engag-
ed in war work, including govern
ment clerks in the District Of Co.
llmbia, is now before the senate.
A month ago the Emergency
Fleet corporation received an ap-
preparation of S5O,O00,00O to pro-
vide houses for shipyard workers.
The housing question is now one Of
the most important factors in the Amer
lean war program. The chief obstacle
70 speeding up war work is the lack OF
sufficient houses in towns where muni-
tiou plants are located. American work
men refuse to stay where they cannot
obtain decent living conditios.

Court No. 2 in Hammond.
By his attorneys. Tinkham and
Tinkham of Hammond, Surveyor
Seeley demands judgment against
Ward for ten thousand dollars
damages for malicious prosecution.

and says that Ward, who peddles pianos
in Gary. has maliciously and falsely
charged 1Gr. Seeley with unla wfully.
feloniously and knowingly certifying as
correct to the Board Of County Com
missioners false and fraudulent claims.
Ward accused Mr.. Seeley of knowing at
the time the claims were made that he
seeley, purposed to cheat and defraud
Lake county.
The complaint goes on to say that
Ward caused Secley's arrest and trial
and that he was. after a lengthy trial.
cleared in q few minutes by jury and
found not guilty and afterwards dis
charged by the court.
Ward is accused in the complaint Of
causing Nj. Seeley to incur an expense
of $4,000 and preventing him from
transactinG his business for four
months.
It is quite probable that libel pro-
cedings VIII be brought by Mr. Seeley
