BETTER MAIL
SERVICE POSSIBLE

East Chicaeo's dream of better mail
service is To be realized soon provid
ing a suitable contract can be made
for transporting mail from Hammond
to East Chicago. The postoffice de-
partment is now advertising for bids
on transferring the mail by trucks
from Hammond. as advocated by The
Times for years.
Some time ago the East Chicago
Chamber Of Commerce revived the old
subject Of cutting out the present sys-
tenn of hauling all of the city's mail
to Chicago for distribution The Chi
cago trip generally means that mail
will be received day later that it
would be if it were intercepted at
Hammond and hauled 10 East Chicago
by truck.
The postoffice department after sew
eral months consideration has deoid-
cd TO give the plan a try-out and is
now looking for someone who VIII
contract to haul the mail daily. In
case one of the bids is low enough to
satisfy the postal authorities. the new
method Of handling the mail VIII be
put into effect at once.

toward ominous clouds gathering on
the democratic horizon. There is a
growing belief that the storm will
break IN the state convention on next

The first and most important ques-

The arrest of the Morgan brothers
was Spectacular. Mike was found
guilty Thursday in the city court of
assault and battery upon his wife and
after paying his fine attempted to
leave the court room accompanied by
his brother Captain Emil Bunde Of
The Hammond police department and
Special Agent J. r. Brennan of the
Pennsylvania railroad met them at
the door. The brothers at first resist
cd thinking the officers were joking
The arrest was so sudden that 9TH
err members of the gang failed to re-
ceive warning in time and were appre-
hended without difficulty. Young was
arrsted while at work at the plant Of
the American Tank Car corporation in
East Chicago. Friedman was arrested

SHOE PRICE
HALF PROFIT
SAYS LAUCK
LINTERNATIoNAL NEws sERvcEl

WASHINGTON. May Il. - More than
half tho price the consumer paws for a
pair of shoes is absorbed BY profits. ac
cording to ". Jett Lauck former sccre-
tary Of the war abor board in a survey
Of profteering in the boot and shoe
industry made public here today
I.auck is consulting economist of the
railroad brotherhoods. He has made a
detailed study OF pronteering in every
American industry to support the broth
erhoods' plea for minimum living wage
of s2500 annually
He places the blame for "unconscion
able prohteerng" in shoes jointly on the
packer, tanner. manufacturer, whole
saler and retailer. with the heaviest
share Of guilt on the leather producer.
The entire cost of manufacturing
shoes for which the consumer paid $3.50
in 1917 was only s346. Lauck said.
The report denies the popular conten-
tion that wage increases are responsible
for this large advance in price, holding
that of a representative $3.50 increase
in price of a pair of shoes. labor received
only IS cents increase or less than one
twentieth Of the advance.
The retailers margin or profit"
Lauck said. is by far the largest. alb
scrbing over one-third Of the price but
il does not show 50 large an increase as
the packers and tanners PROFITS. As
the largest tanneries are indirectly a
part OF the big packers varied interests,
il can be safely said that their profit
eering is very largely responsible for
tho high price Of shoes.
The retailer has increased his margin
1o2 per cent or s1S2 per pair on the
basis of shoes selling for $3.50. The
manufacturer appears to have increased
his profits less than others. although ne
took his highest profits in 1916. when
they were twice the amount he took in
