"Many of the boys here hare such heavy allotments and are keeping Us payments on so many Liberty bonds that they go 90 per cent, of the time without a cent in their pockets.

Hodges will make should he not be barred from becoming mayor of Gary by the content court has cast gloom into the camp of his followers. There wasn't enough pie to go around and many of those who failed to get a place at the counter feel that their services were overlooked. And as for those honored many are said to feel like the guest put in a vet bed: thy have no rest for fear that Mr. Hodges may never assume office or that if he does he may be ousted within a short time as th result of the contest, which is said to promise some surprises Hay Overlooked. Naturally 1t was thought that Howard Hay. chairman of Hodges- campaign committee, would at least get some ,iot or other. It was figure! that Mr. Hay would get the city- engineership, a ?3.0"0 job. and one that would, please him as he has been in engineering: work all his life. However, Mr. Hay got nothing-, and the same reward went to Attorney Frank Phehan, the hsrdworinjg secretary of the republican central committee. Similar fate befell other lawyers, notably Joe De Martt, who worked day and night foi st '1 cause and whom manv thought should be assistant city attorney. John Wake and a whole host of otbe" hardworking young lawyers were overlooked. Colored len Ignored. As the Gary Tribune said, it was the colored men who elerted Hodges. Not one colored leader is mentioned for the cabinet, not even Attorney Joseph Rapier. All that they can expect now 1s a few places in tne fire, police and street cleaning departments. Tolleatott Overlooked. Tolleston and Ridge road were overlooked as was the south side, and the tin mills, sheet mills and bridge plant were not favored of course some of Mayor Johnson's ! cabinet, reappointed, reside in Ridge road, but that is little solace for the Hodges men. After Hodges had arranged to ksp in office such of Mayor Johnson's followers that deserted him, there went a-glimmering the hopes of many of the former's supporters as the old crowd had to be taken' care of. This, in brief, is the crux of the satiation. It is not Hodges' fault that there are not enough jobs to go around, that so many of Mayor Johnson's cabinet has to be retained, but he is getting the blame as do all possible new mayors, but more so as he had a hungry crowd supporting him. DEMAND THAT WAR MATERIAL BE STOPPED (Br United Press Cablegram.)

A coal 6liortage of 50.000,000 tons for 1917 in the face of the greatest production of any years in the history of the country, has been caused by war demand. Fuel Administrator Garfield toid the senate investigation committee today. "Citiyinr.ous coal production show an inert ase of 10 per cent over 3 915 while anthracite shows an increase of 16 per cent. said Garfield. "The increased production of bituminous coal is 50,000,K"J tons, but this is only half enough. Munition factories in southern NewEngland are being greatly hampered byshortage of bituminous coal. The anthracite ituation is fairly good now." Garneld said he tiad tried to increase production by placing the emphasis on production not. price.

! PREACHER ! GRATEFUL

Rev. J. M. Howard, pastor of the St. Mark's A. M. E. Zion church (colored), Indiana Harbor, is very much in sympathy with tha movement now on in F.ast Chicago to keep the negroes from over-crowding in their housing conditions. He says that such overcrowding as has been in practice in this city is productive of crime and immorality and is one of the important problems with which this city has to deal. He is very anxious for the day to come when the negroes here assembled will not have the chance of frequenting saloons and purchasing liquor. He says that most of these negroes came from the dry state of Alabama and that the present dissipation among many of his race 'is due to the radical change m conditions into which they have so recently come. In regard to the influence, of the church upon the colored man and the progress w hich he is making in the ei ec- 1 tion of an ed:flco he says: "Churches are among the community s biggest assets. They are worth to a city as much aa banks, railroads or mercantile establishments. Nor can spiritual values be expressed in dollars and cents. Churches promote honesty end square, dealing and where these virtues are lacking, business makes alow progress and conditions are far from what they should be. Ninety per cent of tbe humanitarian service and money given to the world war sufferers is coming from nun and women actively connected with the Christian churches and Jewish synagouges. The churches do not only make law abiding citisena. but change the hearts of men which is absolutely necessary to make a bad man a good one. Therefore. I am asking the better class of people to help us to procure a church to develop the moral and spiritual condition of my people in East: Chicago and Indiana Harbor. I take this, way of thanking the many white friends and industries who have contributed to this end. My motto is fo make better citizens of my people. I am for the community. "For references I refer to Rev. ElmerJones, pastor of the First Methodist church, and Rev. R. C. Srear, raster of the Baptist church, Indiana Harbor, Inland Steel company, Green Engineering company, Standard Forgings company. Universal Portland Cement company. Hubbard Steel Foundry company.
