At the Polls.

There Is no man who has been in

weeks who measures UP to the Presi-
Dental requirements" declared Sam
uel Gompers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, in a state
ment which he wired here from
Cleveland and which he presented to
the Cleveland Federation OF Labor.
Gompers urges that members Of
Congress and Senators who have
ridden rough shod over the rights
of the masses of people" be sent to
political oblivion" and called on la
Dor to defeat its enemies at the
polls.
The action OF the railroad labor
board in refusing to hear the pleas
of OUTLAW" strikers was according
to the law, Gompers said. but he
added that If such a law had been in
existence always, I'VE would all have
been reduced to serfdom and slavery"
High prices are due to present in
flation of money and credit and
"the profiteering of middlemen and
speculators." I'VE should all get to
work and remedy the evils OF high
prices" he declared.

Plans are now completed and approx
ed for a $4,000 bath house. A road
through the park has been located, but
the title to all the Auditing lans on said
road has not been obtained The SUI
prome court of Indiana has within the
last two weeks declared the county
unit road law constitutional. 1t is
within this law that we propose to
construct a road from the east end Of
Fifth avenue. through the Town OF Mil
Ter TO within q few hundred feet of
the lagoon. thence in an easterly dir
ection along the lake front TO the
Porter county line.
We certainly feel that we have made
great progress in the limited time since
the annexation of the Town Of Miller
toward acquiring lake frontage and
developing the park. We have ar
ranged to improve and maintain the
road leading to the beach and TO re-
at the end or Lake avenue across the
river.
The story circulated that the bridge
will be torn down and the road clos
ed is wholly untrue and without any
foundation whatever.
The sole purpose in annexinE the
Town OF Miller was 10 give Gary and
its citizens a bathing beach which will
provide them with every comfort pos
sible. and it is to this end we are
working.
Respectfully.
