SMITH SOUNDS IE GALL Continued from pane five.) aor Its 'baneful lnfluanoa to the coafiaes of the atrmin Smplre mnd aev allies. Svea here la free America we too often sea around us the same arrogance, the arwe assumption of superiority, as well as the same fawning- supplication to that assumed superiority, that has mads the House of Hohensollera synonymous with all that is brutal, cruel and inhu - man la tha domain of humaa thought. Barbarity does not alone consist of the wanton destruction of human life. The murder of the non-combatant population of Belgium, cf Poland, of Serbia ind Koumania has shocked the sensibilities of tha whole world outside of those assuming themselves to be supermen nid missionaries of "Kultur." The sinking of unarmed merchant ships with the ruthless destruction of defenseless women and children is an act of Hunnish barbarity at which all the eonscirnce of civilization stands aghast. This form of hellish brutality Is so evident that all sane men are compelled to condemn and aU valorous men compelled to ccmbat. OTHER FORMS OF AUTOCRACY Ho we ex, thera are other forms of au. tocracy assuming the rl beaoveleacs and patriotism that are scarcely less brutal, and whose final results, if not checked by the same spirit of freedom that is now slowly but surely throt tling Germany in her mad. Insane dream j or empire, win at least rival me jrioneny.oltern autocracy that has made murder pastime and the hell of battlefield and prison torture possible. We refer to that comparatively small group of mea ia America, who before tha war were slowly but not the less surely, reducing the masses of the American people to ft. state of Industrial and consequent political dependency, and who since the beginning of the war have made vast and mighty strides towards th establishing of a House of Industrial Hohemollern here in our own beloved land of liberty, and particularly in our great industrial centers. Toe city of Gary has beea cursed iff.th more than her share of this kind of Industrial autocracy for war profits only. CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES Through the influence of this industrial autocracy here In America, prlees have risen to such an outrageous height that the purchasing power of & day's wages, despite a nominal increase, has been reduced to perhaps on an average more than one-half of what it was before the beginning of the war. The patriotic American workman would gladly suffer such privations were such privations necessary to win the war and m?ke the world safe for democracy. But he does not take kindly to tho fact that, while his wages have only nominally increased a few par cent., the profits of the war profiteers have on many instances increased hundreds of per cent. The scramble for "war brides" by these profiteers has been little lfss disgraceful than' in former times the scramble for American heiress's by empty pocketed, rarastic European nobility. There is no claim that la the major, ity of cases there has not beea a nominal Increase ia wa?ea. The whole trouble comes from the fact that this increase has not beea ln proportion to the Increase la the cost of living'. Tt is to be expected that there will be an increase in price during war on acount of increased demand for certain commodities cn the one hand and on account of the relatively fswer producers "n Th oiher. The injustice of the situation lies ia tba fact that the Increase ln the cost of livln? has beea out of aU reason-

mble) proportion to the lnoremse in wages.' ducts that cart b produce-i jn America. A shining example of this discrepancy The rtrugglmg masses of Europe' are betw een war profits and wages is shown crv Ing to ns for stel. munitions, fordby the fact that one great industrial ! stuffs, clothing and other cmmolHtes concern reported an increase of over 250 j needful in order to successfully carry per cent of war profits, whereas the in- on the w ar against autocracy. Let Amrrease in wages for the same period i erica send her sons to battle and also

was only 2" per cent increase over the wages of normal times, or only about 1-10 of that of the war-profiting autocrats. One need not be surprised that under such circumstances discontent Is widespread in the hearts of the workmen, many of whom have proudly given up their sons to go forth to battle for the rights of humanity beyond the seas. MISUSE OF STEEL INDUSTRY These enormous profits have been exacted by many lines of industrial enterprise, it has been notoriously true of foodstuffs, fuel, clothing, munitions, steel and all steel products. Steel has long since beea considered the barometer of prices. Steel now enters so largely into all modern machinery and construction that it is essential in nearly all lins of industry and indispensih'e in many. It therefore follows that if the price of steel is. ahnormsliy high, all products directly or indirectly dependent upon steel will also be obnormalty high. Then again the steel Indus-

try has assumed such gigantic proportions that it not only determines the prices of commodities directly dependent tpon steel, but also affects in a general or remote way the prices of all commodities. It must of necessity follow, then, that excessive, unnecessary and exorbitant prices for steel, main possible by the naturally abnormal demand for steel in war times, tosether with tha practically monopolistio control of the output of steel and steel products by glgaatlo combinations, Is on of tha causes If not the chief causa of tha present ssortltant prioes for aU commodities. INDUSTRIAL H0HENZ0LLERNS The comparatively small group of industrial Hohenzollerns in America, it

I see has put greed for excessive pro- ! fits far above patriotism and loyalty to I v, - . . . ; 1 . . f H.imnrpBiir unnTi which cornerstone the temple of freedom and indepenence of this republic is rounded. Xf the President is rlffht ia assertingthat we cannot speak of profit and patriotism ia tha sama sentence aad we believe he is right in so asserting) what must be the stats cf degradation of the

war profiteers, who in their iusane j n organised way the same kind of augreed for profit have sunk so low la the . tocracy, the same kind of super-men, scale of patriotism that they have be- the same kind of trusteeship as that

come, consciously or unconsciously, actual allies of the enemies of our couatryr I'nless this spirit or grasping avarice is soon checked and the energy expended in the cause of patrioitsm that is now expended for excessive profit, we fear that the historian of the future school histories will be compelled to record for the future generations of Am erican boys and girls a story that will cause the name of Benedict Arnold to i pale into insignificance in comparison with these that will cause every patriotic heart to shrink at their mention and the enormity of their crime against humanity, against freedom and tho right. PROFITEERS GREED DANGEROUS It is a fact to be sincerely regretted that in many industrial combinations, here in our own Columbia, the same spirit of superiority, of thu doctrine of the superman, of trusteeship has stood out most conspicuously since the present struggle of Hohenzollern autocracy to throttle the democratization cf the world. So dangerous has the greed of these groups of men become to the safety of our country and the honor of our flag, that the Congress of the Unit ! ed States has been compelled to outhorlze our President to set aside their profits fixed by their own selfish greed, and establish prices for certain commodities based upon the cost of production. The enormous cut in prices by the government a cut in some instances amounting to from 40 to 70 per cent tells ton plainly thst there are seme : , , ; ., told suffering arid th further prolongation of th frightful slaughter of human being?. WE MTTST WIN THIS WAX FOS HUMANITY AT ALL COSTS, EVEN TO THE PAYING OP BLOOD PHOPITS TO THE PB.OPITEEKS IP NEEDS BE SO, but if tt lies within the power of our nation., or states or municipalities to curb this lnssne desire for profit at the expenve of suffering' and human life, let us ln the name of that sane humanity and of that same democracy for which we as a nation are willing' to sacrifice both our blood end our treasure, assert the full power of the government to prevent any further exploitation by the greedy profiteers. The b-ocd profiteers in America re no less the enemy of democracy nd human liberty than r the shameless autocrats acro?s the sea who would attempt to justify miirde-. torture and rapine in or1er to secure "a place In the sun" for the cultivation of 'kul'ur' of which they o proudly boast. Democracy has urscnt need for all the tre send of her wealth in the same great cause of freedom, but let her assert her sovereignty and conscript the greed for blood profits to the end that it will make for patriotism. Congress and t"i President have done well, but there is still more to do in this direction. As a people we will uphold their hands to tho end that autocracy whether Prussian or Monopolistic, shall be banished from the face of this globe. Let us hope, never to rie aain. GARY PEOPLE ARE LOYAL We meet here today to dedicate our lives and our fortunes to the cause of human rights and human liberty. We are a city of perhaps 6H,nno persons mostly of the working classes. We are loyal citizens of the greatest republic upon which the sun ever shone.

WHAT HAS THIS TO DO WITH GARY? Bui you ask what all this has to do wnn our meeting on this occasion to i nominate an independent ticket for the city offices of Gary? AVe are here to answer that question and to answer it if possible in such a manner so that all who hear may understand. We fare here, my fellow citizens, to oppose In which has plunged Europe into a char - nel house of hell; the same arrogant -1 r.a'.fccrncy that has profited to the amount cf hundreds of millions of dol - lars at the expense of this country and our people and those of our allies.

Government Is the only stronff arm that can reach this class of eppressers cf the people. The federal and state governments can only reach and deal with certain phases, of the questions that come up for Fojution. Other phases, however, are entirely or at least partly within the nrovincft of our local eovernmcnt ii i. fnr ti. M. .f tta and solving these local questions that we sre assembled here tonight. LABOR AND LAfilAli JNLLJtobAKl

Gary is an industrial city. Large l whim of Wail Street or its political amounts of capital have been inv.sted i hil 'ings. They cla'm n! take the right here. Great masses of workmen hveito act nnd to think for themselves and

assembled here from all quarters of the globe. . They come here for the mo't rart to work in th great mills thnt have sprung up with the city on the shores of Lake Sfichigan. Now. every one knows that both cpita! and labor are essential to the building up and the maintaining of all industry. That nc.it,ilr'm, - ,ord " over the other: their re. ldiion stiouicl be one of nm im h nfn . . . mU.. 1 tote to capital, nor on the other hand annum capuai auempt to assume a superiority and trusteeship over the workman, his rights and his interests. Stupid, indeed is the citizen of Gary who floes not know that capital lias and does assume the light of dictation orer the affairs of the citizens of Gary. This f n r t is adtniltt-d by every man or woman in Gary who has the independence of will and the gumption to think at all. This feet is so patent as to be admitted by almost every one. ft is upon this question that most of the strife and difference of opinion In Gary is based. A careful study of the situation reveals at least three distinct views, or attitudes, towards this question: Pirst, "here Is the view held by the agents of the non-resiient capitalists and those who are profiting personally by the Gry system of capitalistic control. These prsons affect to bij. that since the Wall Street syndicate purchased th land upon which the grat city and Us industries are located nd also f'lrnl'hed the capital for the erection and the operation of the gisantic plant that their wishes and opinions of everything pertaining to Gary and its interests should take precedence over every other consideration whatever. In other words, these people show by their words and by their action that they place the selfish interests of the nonresident capitalist; first Rnd the interests of the people as a community second. Or stated more boldly, the interests of the people as a community must and of a right ought to be secondary to the aims and purposes of the invested capital namely; dividends on their Ini vestment. This is the one argument when sheared of all subterfuges of political agents of Wall Street, their favorites and followers, as well as their subservient ana dictated "speaking tubes" which for purposes of their own masquerade undet the misnomer of newspapers. WALL STREET OMNIPOTENT Second, there Is a class of Gary people who recogni-e the Injustice of the Gary systsm of Industrial dictatorship over the affairs of the people of Gary, but who think and feel the hopelessness of mttemp-iag to remedy this galling

A corporation whose profits amount to the enormous sum of hundreds of millions of dollars in one year and which owns anc'l controls over seven miles of lake frontage in the city of Gary alone, is not likely to be thrown into bankruptcy by the acquisition by the people of a !;mall strip of the lake front for the establishment of a bathing hach for the benefit of all the people of Gary. OPPOSE HIGH WATER RATES This third class of Gary citizens do not desire to confiscate the legitimate rrofits of any enterprise, but they do desire that those industries furnishing public utilities do so at a fair and reasonable profit on their investment.

PURPOSE OF A COMMERCIAL CLUB The purpose of a well managed commercial club is to provide for the up building and preservation of business. The mere fact that within ten years the commercial club of Gary has not located a single factory of any consequence not directly or indirectly connected with wool over the eyes of the business men of the city than it has in the location of independent industries.

Until the power of Wall Street's autocracy is made to respect the rights and the wishes of the people of Gary thru government in the city of Gary, they will have small chance of securing their civil and political independence. It is to secure these rights guaranteed by the constitution of these United States that we are here this evening for the purpose of nominating a ticket to represent the people of Gary and not the autocrats of Wall Street and their hireling political representatives la Gary.

AS TO VICE IN GARY The names they use to vent their dispicible little spleens are so foul that it were an offence against even good manners for them to be repeated before an intelligent body of Gary citizens. If there is any one who Is so depraved as to desire a list of the names applied to the independent men and women of Gary by these fawning sycophants, they are respectfully referred to .the sewer department of the Wall ' Street gang's speaking tubes. As to vice in Gary, it is no worse now than it has been ever since Gary was started. We think not nearly so bad as when it was under the tutelage and control of one of the chief fake reformer's own tools. We do not claim that Gary is free from all vice. It Is not. and moreover will never be until all mankind is re-created and the the conditions of life materially changed. But wo say that such longed for results can never be and will never be accomplished by any hypocritical fake reform government. Even true reform can never come out of an autocracy that seeks to th domination of men and women for the sake of power and pelf. WALL STREET CANDIDATES Men and women of Gary, the powers of autocracy seek to hold yeu in political subjection for the purposes of exploitation. They have selected their standard bearers by the same autocratic methods as have characterized" their arrogant and feudalistic domination of the civil and the political affairs of the people of Gary.

Common sense tells us that a man who will stoop so low in self respect and citizenship as to accept the support of interests that boldly and shamefully resort to calumny and coersion in order to accomplish his nomination otherwise impossible, will have little hetancy in doing the will of his masters and not that of the people of Gary in case he is elected to a place of honor and power.
