TO EMPLOYES: For four years you have watched your wages go down. You have seen honest and industrious fellow workers become the casuals of a great depression pitifully scratching an existence from charity. For months you have gone to bed and gotten up with the fear of losing your job whispering in your ear. You have witnessed with anxiety the withering of the old economic order. At last action has come from the President of the United States. The government has moved from Wall Street back to Washington. Mr. Roasevelt knows that no nation is worth existing that ran not provide its forgotten men with a reasonable opportunity to rear their families decently and save a little money. He is aware that if honest citizens can not be paid for working they must be paid for not working. He believes they have a right to work. The spearhead of his attack on the forces of depression and despair is the NRA. Many of its features are puzzling to employes. It is an unprecedented social experiment There are many questions that you will wish to ask. The Times has employed a staff of experts in Washington to answer them for you.

Nutt to have something done, on the ground that Indiana industries in the Calumet district are making Chicago water undrinkable. Geupel's report asserts that the Grand Calumet river in Lake county probably is ‘‘the largest puddle of pollution in the world.” Cities of Gary. Hammond, Whiting. East Chicago. East Gary. Hobart, and Chesterton have not expended any funds for construction of sewage treatment plants, the report points out. Calumet district industries have spent $2,000,000 on waste treatment, before dumping refuse into the lake, and much of the bad taste of water now comes from the Illinois side, the report declares. Attention is called to the cooperation in solving the problem which got under way last February and the study and analysis being made to determine exact cause of the foul taste and smell of the lake water at times. "A combination of phenol wastes from coke plants and refineries, with the chlorine in the water, supplies taken from Lake Michigan by Indiana and Illinois cities, including Chicago, is the cause for the carbolic acid or medicinal taste which Governor Horner of Illinois and an Illinois commission have charged are originating in Indiana," ibe engineer s report concluded.
