naval experts are preparing today to

BUSINESS
AGENT CALLS
OFF MEN

Smoldering discomfort in the build
ing trades fared forth again today
when j. w. Savery. business agent Of
the Plasterer's local. at noon called off
all plasterers employed on the Elks'
Temple and announced that before
nightfan work on score of other jobs
in Hammond would be stopped.
This follows an Intellectual attempt
made last night by contractors and the
union officials to agree on a tentative
arrangement by which union plasterers
would cover non-union lath pending
settlement OF the controversy between
union lathers and contractor-m
of the Hammond Building Trades EN-
ployers Association.
The meeting was scheduled for eight
o'clock at the headquarters of the
sociation. The reason for disagree
ment could not be accurately determ-
ined but it is said to have resulted from
a demand of the lathers 10 be repre-
sented in negotiations between the
plasterers and the contractors. z. E.
Cole, secretary of the association. was
in Chicago today. He could not be
reached.
Seemingly in spite OF the bareback
in the building trades comes the an
nouncement from the city building in
spector that home building in Ham
mond is due for an unparalleled boom.
Mr.. Wis, the building inspector, yes

American citizens learned today that
they must first live down their war rec
ords before they can hope to receive
citizenship papers.
The proposition came up several
times today in room of the Hammond
Superior court where Judge Maurice E.
critics held his first naturalization hear
ing since his appointment TO succeed
the late Judge Hardy.
Applicants for second papers would
present themselves with their witness
es and the routine questions would go
off smoothly. 1t would look like easy
sailing for the prospective citizen un-
til the examiner would suddenly put
the question::
L believed you claimed exemption
duringf the war on the grounds that
you were not citizen. did you nat?'
That was generally answered by a
denial.
Then the examiner would produce a
from the War Department
In which the applicants war record
and especially his attitude when sum
moned by the draft board was set
forth That usually hoored him.
Sometimes he insisted that he did not
claim exemption but that the board had
placed him there arbitrarily Howev-
er. the record of the War Department
was considered conclusive evidence by
the court and the petitions were dis
missed.
All Of these men who took advantage
of the classification to escape military
service will have to start all over again
on the citizenship ladder. Further
more they must wait until five years
have elapsed from the time they filled
out their questionnaires before they
can apply FOR first papers.
Judge critics explained that men who
would not show willingness to ASSUME
the possibilities and espouse the

not expect America to accept them as
as soon as the war was over.
