Gary, Ind, Oct. About four humid
red strikers returned to work today at
the Indiana Steel Company. The street
cars leading to the works were crowded
with workers during the early morning
hours. The corporation is said to have
more than four hundred men at work
and is operating units in nearly every
department of the big plants on basis
OF about thirty-fve per cent capacity.
Officials of the company report that tin
plate mill running, six blast furnaces
and twelve open hearth furnaces in
operation. Union leaders dispute these
claims. There was a report in circula-
ton that the steel officials were con-
sidering a plan of shutting down the
Joliet, Illinois and Milwaukee, Wis.
plants and bringing the men in these
cities who desire TO work to the Gary
plant.

DR.. Windesheim Is Called To
Meet With State Health
Board To Make Rules
Against Flu.
PLAN DRASTIC REGULATIONS

DR.. G. Windesheim, public health off,
Ger of Kenosha and the most recent APP
pointee to the state board Of health,
today was officially notified that the
state board will hold meeting in Mil
Waukee on Thursday at which time spe-
cial rules for the handling of a possible
epidemic of influenza in Wisconsin will
be promulgated by the state board.
This will be the first meeting of the
state board to be attended by DIR. Win
desheim.
While the new rules have not as yet
been given the sanction of the board
in sessions, copies of the suggested reg
ulations are in the hands of all of the
members of the board. They will pro-
vide more drastic regulations for quar-
antines in cases of influenza. The new
rules will provide that every physician
must make reports Of cases Of influenza
within twenty hours after he has
been called to attend case and that
local health officials must at once pro-
vide for guarantees by placarding the
houses and by adopting drastic rules
for the care of the patients. People
residing in homes where the influenza
is present will be isolated and the rules
will provide an isolation similar to that
to be found in other communicable dis
eases. The provisions for the quaran-
tine under the new rules are made much
more drastic than under the former
rules and the health officials will be
given full powers to bring prosecutions
in court for the violations of any Of
the regulations. The rules provide for
fumigation of homes after the patients
have recovered from the disease. Pub
lie funerals of victims of the influenza
will be permitted but these must be
held under strict regulations and the
bodies of victims must be placed in air
tight Baskets if such public funeral
is to be held.

GAMBLE AND LOSE
AND YOU DO NOT
HAVE TO PAY TAX

Washington, March 10.-Business
losses of gamblers, moonshiners. boot
leggers, and other participants in il
legal practices are deductable from
gross incomes in determining income
subject to tax. The internal revenue
bureau decided the question today in
passing upon inquiries from profess
sional gamblers in New York, Chicago,
Boston, and other cities from a lone
query of a southern ex:moonshiner.
The bureau attitude is that income
from an illegal business is taxable and
that losses in connection with this
business are deductable, but not to an
extent exceeding earnings from the
business. Tax collectors, according to
this attitude are concerned with col
lecting revenue and not prosecuting
illegal business. Consequently they
will regard as confidential any dis
closures of illegal source of income.
