For the past several \yecks the Gary Post has been advising the clean-up of the city. The paper has been very active in denouncing Mayor Johnson for not ridding the city of vice. Sunday an early morning raid was made on the editdrial room of the Post, resulting in the arrest of City Editor Tom Plant and four other employes of the paper who were caught in an alleged poker game. The newspaper men were taken to police headquarters, but were released under bond furnished by the business manager of the Post. Employes of the Post charge the mayor with overlooking real gambling games ant stopping a social affair. , A special from Gary states that there was no Sunday closing of' saloons and the lid was not clamped down on other undesirable activities.
