DRAWING REHEARSAL HELD WASHINGTON, July 18. Detailed plena of the drawing- Itself remain to he finally approved fcy Secretary Taker. A rehearsal of tiie process recommended wr.s lisUl soma days ago la ortler to dotarmine the amount of time necessary and to develop any weak, spots in the scheme, but pendingits approval no details will be revealed. There are indications that a more complex arrangement than has yet been outlined publicly will be employed in the drawing in the interest of perfect fairness. As far as .can be told now every rogistrant will have to be informed' not only of the serial number placed on his card by the local exemption board, but also of the exact number of registrants ia his district. Otherwise he will be unable to know until he is ordered before the board what his order of liability is. Given his own number and the total number of registrants in his district, any registrant can fig-are out quickly what place he occupies in the line as soon as the results of the lottery are announced. If there are 1,500 registered men, every serial number above that will represent a blank in that district when it is drawn, and the rotation numbers of th drawing will pfiss them over. Thus, if Ko. 1,428 should be drawn first. No. 1,569 second and No. 1,217 third, the order cf liability in a 1.5CO district would e No. 1,428 fist and No. 1,247 second.

THEY'RE GGIFiG TO EST CMP NOW

HEBRON'. INI)., July 18. Killing two birds with one stone, Gov. Goodrich has evolved a rln by which the cost of living will be materially . lowered for the next few months and at the same time the Kankakee river will be cleared of undesirable fish and restocked with the grime varieties which will make it one cf the greatest fishing grounds of northern Indiana within a few years. D. P.. Fleming of the fish and game commissioner's office, acting under the personal direction of the governor, has commenced the work of seining the Kankr.k Heretofore, no fish seined from the river couM be sold at retail, :is the government disposed of them f r only what it cost to tnke them out of the river and no pivf.ts could be made on them. Xow, however, he has decided that the fsh will be sld to dealers at the cost of taking thfiu ir.s the wtr aivl that tht y --' be re'iiled i'-r an b mount i..i to 61 cents p r round. Carp, dog-fish and buffalo will be among the fish :ken from rh river and retailed at this r:-Ue. it . estimated that from 1,000 to t,Of0 pounds a week will be taken from the river.

TIMES BUREAU AT STATE CAPITAL, INni.VNAIiM.IS. July IS. Although no one appears to have a line on it or know where it will come from, there Is m v ery well authenticated report in clr-cul.-ition here that a suit will so n he tilei somewhere to test the const itutlonality of the woman stiff ra gc law. It was rcpet-ted pome time ago that the womsutfrnge suit and the constitutional convention suit would not he filo-i at the same time and by- the same lawyers, hut this proved to be untrue. When the suit is filed it is understood it will be on the ground that if the legislature has no power to call a constitutional convention without a referendum vote of the people it has no power to extend the franchise to women and to taKe them into partnership with the men voters unless the men voters of the state authorize it by a referendum vote. They say that the men have an exclusive right to vote conferred on them by the constitution which the men themselves made, and that no one has the right to say that women shall be given the right also to vote, thus' reducing the value of the franchise held by the men. Suffragists and others, who are favorable to woman suffrage are rather on the anxious seat just now. and they will oontine so until they find out whether the suit is to be filed. The same Interests that are chuckling: over the result of the constitutional convention suit are also grinning some in contemplation of filing the. suffrage suit. It is now generally accepted here that if Governor Goodrich calls a special session of the legislature to deal with the coal situation an effort will be made also to put through a bill calling for a referendum election on the question whether i r,:i ; t m t icr.il -.! ,n' !n shall be

ers that were coming over from Ken

tucky and destroying the tobacco crops in Ohio river counties- in Indiana. But when he got the lecsilature in session and had his thumb down on them just rirht he put through the county local option law, which was the real purpose of the -extra session. Whether the legislature this time would call an election on the constitutional convention proposition is not known, but many persons believe it would.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

I. W. W. MAN DEFENDS HIS ORGANIZATION Editor TiMt:g-: Hammond. 'Ind.. July 17. 1917." Pear Sir: I must take issue with a recent editorial appearing in your paper in reference to the. I. W. W. I feel that an injustice has been done, the 400 members of this organization who are living and working in Hammond, as -well as the many thousands of men and women belonsing to this union throughout the world. The members of the I. W. W. are earning and spending theim money in this city: they are raising and educating their children in this city, and many of them are taxpayers. In the editorial mentioned above the statement is made that the I. W. v.Vs are not workers. The statement doesn't stand in the face of this fact. Permit me to c.ill your attention to the liitle known but truthful fact as well, that the I. V. W. and practically the I. w. v. alone reaps the harvests, hews the timber an 1 mines

the metal ore of the entire. Tinted States. And it is powerful in many other basic industries as well, As for the reference, to "German propagandist's," contained in this editorial, I will refer you to the fact that the I. W. W. was investigated, at its own request, by officials from the department of justice in regards to this base ar-

jcusation. and that the investigators re

turned a report to Washington after an exhaustive investigation, that no German money had been used to aid the I. W. W. This o ught to be sufficient to stop forever the absurd charge. The I. V. W. is just as ardently opposed to Prussian .lunkerism as it is to any anil ail other forms of tyranny. As to the statement about the I. W. W. defying law and order, I will briefly call your attention to the fact that no members of this organization have been convicted of the henious crimes the newspapers have been charging" them with. Thi bitter campaign of misrepresentation is obviously actuated by the desire of the big monied interests of this Country to discredit the organization as a part of its anti-labor program. The I. W. W. as a powerful industrially orjranied union is the chief bulwark of organized labor in the country today. An examination of its literature will showthat it teaches nothing at nil of the horrible things it is accused of. The I. W. v. is seeking to organize the workers of the world into OXE PIG UNION' for the purpose of gaining more wages, shorter hours and better condi

tions cf labor. Its final aim is the emancipation of the working class from the industrial slavery of tne present system

of society. It is also seeking to educate and discipline the workers for the Industrial democracy of tomorrow. This is the reason the union is hated and lid about as it is. I am sure you will give the question this space to defend itself from attack. Very truly yours. X. G. M.VKL.ATT.
