STATEMENT BY GARY SWITCHMEN

Tax Tixza acknowledges receipt of the following communicatiun: -Qary. Ind.. Oct. 8. 1917. Through O. J. Tralnor. presiding chairman of the employes of the switching aervice of the E. J. 4 E. a R who walked out or quit their Jobs the night of September 26, 1917. He wishes to state thatby a majority vote of that body of men they decided to go back to work at 7:00 p. m.. Sunday the 7th. "The following reasons were the deciding factor In bringing about this action: "First The men had the privilege of going back In the aarr.e status as when they quit. "Second That no discrimination be shown any man connected with the movement. "Third That the men that were hired to take the places of the men Involved In the trouble would be allowed to work out their shift and then would b summarily dismissed. "Fourth That from the fact of our country being now engaged in war with a foreign enemy and through the appeal of our vice president. S. M. Rodgcrs, and our general superintendent, P. F. McManus, to the patriotism of the men. This assembly of employes wish to go on record as being Just as patriotic as any cltiren of the United States. I have noticed In various papers that editorials commenting on the winning of this war thaf moiiey and money alone could win It. If That is the case It would go to show that money is the open sesame for patriotism, and if that is the solution, this assembly of employes hadn't out to be blamed for asking an increase in wages In order to be placed on the same footing as the rest of our patriotic fellow citizens.

"Fifth As loyal and law abiding cltlsens of Gary we feel we have a duty to perform to ourselves and our families but in order to perform that duty we

will hare to be granted the substantial increase which our officials have promised us. Then and only then will we be, able to perform that duty."

SHALL WALL STREET CONTROL THE CITY GOVERNMENT OF GARY? As far as tho political department of Wall street is concerned, it thinks Gary is a hell hole of vice. Regardless of the fact that conditions in Oaryare cleaner than in the average community, regardless of the fact that medical examinations of tho Belectlve army hundreds In Gary, refute the lies Wall street's Pharisees told about young man, the truth is no affair of its political department. Wall street ha3 set out to elect its candidate for mayor and to place its dollar-marked flag on the city hall it chooses to the slander process. To cover up its own sinister conduct at Gary it seeks to divert attention by the feint of using the vice cry. It is no concern of Wall street's political department that the city's name is painted black throughout the country, that its hireling newspapers blacken men's characters, that those on its payroll or those wallowing in its contracting trough pack the "reform" movement. Wall street's satraps have chosen the vice camouflage as the best means to elect its mayor. With a fanaticism that is humorous the campaign is launched. Lotinvested and be-captained editors dip their pens into the sewer; stump speeches are out of the mouths of this respectable citizen, prosperous with a Wall street contract; this alderman, with the Broadway lot privilege; this dignified official upon whom Wall street's political agents graciously smile, or this man, his bank account fattened with the swollen bonuses of war time.

Analyre the whole company of "reformers"; Tho tale will be laughable when it is in print, gle almost as fearlessly as did Von Bernstorff.

dividends Wall street lets no penny escape. The south side is foully sland

ered, and the bewildered workman finds that the lots Wall street have to sell are in localities where neither the attacks of its newspapers or the slanderr: of its claquers touch. Dividends pile up for Wall street's real estate intakes, but it means lean months for other" real estate and business men. The people of Gary, the men and women, who are not "getting theirs" from Wall street and who do not desire Its money or its political promises, know the truth. We ask you if you see vice flaunting in Gary, is your next door neighbor is immoral, if painted, women abound in the streets? Have you seen vice enveloping the city? Have you seen painted women? Have you seen anything In Gary that makes this fine town different from others cities? If you analyze the "vice" movement In Gary the slimy trail of Wall street politics is soon discernible, as Is the generosity of its trough where those faithful to it fatten their pocketbooks. And as the determination of the people of Gary, who are supporting the Independent party ticket to keep Wall street from controlling the city government grows, the more frantic the "reformers" become.

; look into their past records. Wall street's politicians bun-
