GARY SENT 184 HE TO ARMY

A special New York Central train of twelve coaches "pie Northern Indiana National Army special" pulled out of union depot at Gary at S:22 this morning with ISi more Gary fighting men on board, making approximately. 1,300

young bloods that have gone out of the steel town to help fight the kaiser. Ten thousand persons were on hand to cheer and to say farewells to the first quota's second contingent of selective army men from the three city districts. Those who didn't shed tears because they weren't related or expect to be related to the chaps who went away were visibly affected and many of .them had moistened eyes as a weeping mother was embraced or a baby sister or a sweetheart kissed, perhaps for the last time. Anyhow, when the train did pull out after a half hour waiting the city band, lead by A. G. Terry, struck up "America" and tears and weeping turned to shouts. Mostly Toxclgu Born. Approximately one-fourth of the Gary boys who left today were American born. Farewells were said in twenty languages. Division No. 1 was in charge of Paul YVhitson, a man of military experience. Albert Raizis and Videk Theomiiis were leaders in divisions 3 and 2. respectively 'because they can speak the most English." Assembling at their respective exemption heSdquarters at 6 a. m. the selective army men marched to union depot at 7:30 o'clock. Mayor Johnson being at

the head. Chief Forbis commanded the police, and following came Terry's city band, the exemption officials and th5 selective army men. Train Will Pick Up More. Routed via LaPcrte the train will go direct to Louisville, picking up more men from South Bend and other cities at LaForte. The Gary boys will be assigned to the 309th engineers. Hoard Chairmen John A. Brennan. Oliver Holmes, and W. J. Williams superintended the departure. One member from.each board went as far as LaPorte.

BLAME BIG U.S. WMPBOFITEEBS Steel, Iron and Coal Hogs Cause Strikes, Says Wilson.

ATLANTIC CITT, N. J.. Sept. 21. Co-operation of laborers assuring the government that the production of supplies will rot be halted by strikes or lockouts during the wa?, was invited by American industry in resolutions approved by the industrial convention of American business men here. The resolution will be put before the full convention for final adoption. The action was taken after a stirring speech by Secretary of Labor Wilson, who declared that the spirit of unrest among laboring men was due in large measure to the general impression that business has been making excessive profits in which labor has not shared. "Has it ever occurred to you business men," Secretary Wilson as:;e7, "that the story has gone forth that you are not patriotic; that you have toeen pro

fiteering? And did it ever accur to you

that the workingman has said to himself he will insist on getting his share of the swag? My position is thit there should be no 'swag' to divide between you. JWny Labor 1b Restless. "Labo- has been restless," he said, "because the word has gone forth that iron and steel men are making 200 to 400 per cent profit, and that "shipping, mining, and other great industries are getting excessive returns. "This feeling on the part of labor has been justified. In my investigation of the coal industry in the east it was shown that operators in some instances extorted $5 and ?6 for ccal that cost them $1.50. "I have said to labor that this is no time to insist on union recognition and no time to insist on changes In labor standards. But I also want to say to you employers that this is no time to stand on your prejudices, no time to insist cn profiteering. You should not take advantage of your country's necessities to insist on abDormal profits at this time."

STEEL RAISE, IES, BUT JPELL! Gary steel workers 22.000 of 'em were in a jubilant humor today because of Judge 'Gary's announcement that the steel trust is going to let workers have a 10 per cent increase on October 1. But there is a shadow across the door Each and every time there is a wage Increase in Gary as soon as the noise gets around the landlords boost rents J5 to $15. the prices of shoes, ice. milk and other things go up and by the time the worker has paid out he reflects that it's someone else who gets the raise. And

some of the pric raise say they have

a raise because the price of steel and allied products have been raised. So there you are.
