GARY, Ind, Oct s20.-Reports have
exaggerated largely the serious situa.
tion that exists in Gary. Until all
metropolitan newspapers develop a
type of news gathering that aims at
truth rather than sensationallsm, a
few of them will continue to aggra
vate growing distrust Of their news
sources on the part of labor. Stories
of riot and bomb throwing anarchists
here are totally unfounded. The only
disturbance of any moment occurred
a few hours before the United States
soldiers arrived and it was the direct
cause Of the soldiers being called.
Some two thousand strikers paraded,
led by three hundred khaki-clad ex'
soldiers, and held mass meeting IN
defiance of the orders Of Mayor w. F.
Hodges It was a direct challenge to
law and because Of the meagre force OF
state militia the mayor could only
ask the government for aid.
Since then there has been no dis
order. The city is under military con-
troll and the strikers say openly they
are glad the military was called in.

It is practically impossible to learn
TIE degree in which foreign working
men would have been infected by Dol.
shevism. The military believe the
infection is widespread, not only in
Gary. but in every other similar indus
trial center. Colonel Mapes who is
in command Of the troops said:
1--WE have conclusive evidence that
the strike is in the hands of the reds
and we can prove it."
The military believe that large
percentage of the men still out on
strike are led by l. w. w. and bolshe-
Wiki beliefs. The radicals have ran
the gamut of their wares. Men of for
eign birth, foreign breeding; men who
often cannot understad the English
language and have not the slightest
conception of American ideals, have
been the real teachers and leaders OF
many of the foreign groups. AS

came did any one have any comprehen-

There is no general belief that the
Gary radicals would attempt revolu-
