Hammond Gets Navy
Recruiting Office

Commander r. s. Culp. L. s. Navy
Inspector OF Recruiting Central Di-
vision. with headquarters al Chicago.
has authorized Frank Rextrew. we'll
known to Hammond people as propri-
etor OF the Music Mart al Isl state st..
to act as his local recruiting officer for
the U. s. Navy with headquarters at
his place Of business.
Having had six years active service
in the Navy and three years In the old
Naval Reserves. Mr.. Rextrew has seen
practically every prase OF the Naval
life and Is considered efficient for the
task His appeal to the prospective
recruits follows
This may seem an odd time for the
Navy to be calling for a large number
OF men. but YOU must realize that dur
ing the last few months, our govern
ment has been more than considerate
with the men who stood BY 1t during
the time when they were needed most
and has granted discharges 10 thous-
ands OF men who were most essential
70 the service.
Today we have the most splendid
men of-war Of any navy in the world
our battleships are the finest that
man can create and those who have
served on one can appreciate this
more readily after returning to civil
life for short period. However. We
must have MEN 10 keep our fleets in
operation and most Of all we must
have men who are skilled in handling
machinery. in addition to men in train
ing.
Men are now offered an opportunity
that never before has presented itself
for service in the Navy We have q
proposition that is most interesting A.
nancially. educationally and also as
regards selection of place and kind of
service. Recruits may select their
place Of training either on the Atlant-
ic or Pacific coast or at any naval sta
ton they may choose. They may al
50 enlist for either two. three or four
years and this also applys 20 men with
previous service.
] will be glad to go into details with
anyone who win call at my store any
time during the day or evenings till
nine o'clock There are many inter-
esting things to explain which cannot
be done here.

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 25.-William z.
Foster. director of the steel strikers in
the Pennsylvania district. sent a tele-
gram to Coy. William Sproul, Character
ling the tactics OF the Pennsylvania
state constabulary as worthy of the

ing UP a strikers mass meeting st North

Hon. VIM. G. Sproul,
Governor Of Pennsylvania.
Harrisburgh, Pa
Dear Sir:-Tour telegram received
snd read carefully. In reply permit me
10 say that you have been greatly mis-
informed regarding the so-caIled riots
At North Clarion. In substance the
affair was nothing else but a deliberate
and premeditated assault on a peaceful
and legal assemblage of working men
by the state police. The facts arc these:
a quiet. orderly meeting was being
held with the knowledge and consent Of
local authorities in a place designated
by the latter for the holding Of such
= meeting. Suddenly, like bolt from
The sky. a detachment Of mounted state
police appeared on the scene. dashed
among the people. clubbing them and
riding rough-shod over them. Absolute
~ no order for dispersal was given. OF
these facts we stand ready to submit
proof from scores OF witnesses The
whole affair was worthy or the Don Cos
sacks in the days of the car. But
those familiar with the methods of the
Pennsylvania STATE police are not sur
Prised at this. They are professional
trouble-makers and are doing as bad
or worse in practically every strike
bound town where they are located.
They are manufacturing terror in order
that the steel workers strike may be
diScredited and broken.
Unions participating IN this strike.
all of which are affiliated with the
american Federation Of Labor, are do
ing their utmost to preserve order in
the face of the most fragrant disregard
CT the fundamental right of free speech
and free assemblage and Of unwarranted
attacks by the state police. Our whole
group OF organizers are willing at all
times to give the most active assistance
80 the constituted authorities to main
tain order in this commonw ealth.
