TELL kOF "Y" SERVICE

State Secretary Parsons of the Young
Mems Christian association and Mr..
Wright, an Iowa school man who has
spent several months in Y. NJ. G. A.
work in France, occupied the pulpit at
the Congregational church last evening.
1t was the purpose of the meeting to
bring-to the people of the community
a general statement as to what had
been and is being done with the funds
that have been contributed by this and
other loyal communities for war work
through Y. NJ. G. A. channels.
Mr.. Parsons, being at the head of Y.
NJ. c. A. work in the state OF Iowa, and
having had two sons in the war, was
able to give his audience a store of in
formation and statistics that were at
once authoritative and convincing.
Wholesome Entertainment.
Mr. Wright, who was enthusiastic
ally received by his audience told quite
in detail what his own work in c6nnec-
tion with the Y. NJ. g. A. had been like.
He spoke of the classes in English,
French, mathematics, engineering, etc.,
which were organized under his lirec-
tion and which were generously patron
lied by the soldiers without charge to
them. He spoke of the large number
of wholesome entertainments, concerts,
theatricals. moving picture shows, etc.
that were patronized by the soldiers
to the number of thousands without
cost to the soldier He spoke of the
athletics conducted under L. NJ. c. n
direction. there~ha wing been number
OF foot ball teams connected with the
hut where Mr.. Wright was stationed
He spoke of the library feature where
hundreds Of wholesome books and lit
orally thousands Of magazines and per-
fodicals We're furnished free of charge
to the soldiers. He spoke of the can
teen feature through which the Y. NJ. C.
A. was able to furnish, at cost, to the
soldier such articles as he required
for his immediate comfort,
An Official Report.
Mr.. Wright also referred to the fact
that there Is soon to appear from the
government press at Washington an
official report on the work of the army
Y. NJ. c. "A. which will be unprejudiced
and which will give the public an au-
thOritative statement as to what has
been done with the money they have
SO generously contributed.
The Freeman -Jeqrnal takes cogni-
zance of the fact that much criticism
of the army Y NJ. c. A. has been GO
ing the rounds and is anxious to pub
lish anything that will shed real light
on the matter, either one way or the
other. If the funds have been mis-,
spent, the public wants to know it. If.
on the other hand. the criticism that
we hear indicates merely lack of ap-
probation on the part of some soldiers
for what the folks back home have been
tryinsfo do for them, the public wants
to know that, too.

1851 ST.
EXTENSION
CONSIDERED

When the Board Of Public Works Of
East Chicago asked the Green Line on
Gals for an extension on Dickey Place
they also had up their sleeve an exten-
sion on 151st street. II the Dickey Place
extension had been agreed to the board
would have been satisfied. but It may
ba that they will nov substitute IN
151st street extension for the Dickey
Place.
Practically the same conditions exist
in regard to 15lst street as to Dickey
Place. The car company was awerded
a franchise on 151Et street but never
built.
The l5Ist street extension is almost
as badly needed by the citizens OF the
city as IS the Dickey Place line. 1t IS
true that there are few homes on l5lst
street which would be benefited, but
there are eight or ten industris employ
ing in the neighborhood of four thou
sand men which would be directly served.
At the present time the employees Of
these plants must walk from half q
mile to a mile and half after leaving
the car.
Some of the industries which would
be served by an extension on 151st
street are: Grasselli Chemical Co.. f. E.
Lanman Co. international Lead Rein
ing Co. Metal & Thermit Corporation.
Locomotive Superheater Co, r. Lawn
& Son. Champion Rivet CO., and u. :.
Metals Refining Co.

BOARD TAKES UP
FARE QUESTION MON.
Street Car Co. in Event Of
Unfavorable Ruling May
Appeal to Commission.

The street car situation in East Chi
oago will come up again Monday when
the Board OF Public Works meets. II
is possible this time that something
definite will be done and there seems
little chance that the action will be
favorable TO the street car company.
1t is almost certain that the seven cent
fare will be refused by she board unless
the street car company comes to an
agreement in regard TO the Dickey Place
extension and in the event that the
Green Line officials meet with HAT
refusal it may mean tie-up OF the
street car transportation again.
Ii is understood by the board that the
company WI appeal to the Public Serv-
such action is taken the seven cents will
in all probability be awarded. There
would then arise the question of collect
ing the extra fare since the city police
could hardly be expected TO help en-
force collection of a fare which the city
officials had refused.
It is also understood that the en-
ployes are now working at the old rate
~ da ges. but with the agreement that
when the company receives a seven-cent
fare in East Chicago and Whiting the
rcw scale will be paid. effective the same
date as the Chicago trainmen's increase.
II the company fails to get a seven-cent
fare the union viii reimburse the men.

that after the hearing a mandatory in
