At Taooma the Foundation Company built a lare yard with French capital and have just completed twenty wooden vessels for that country.

Word of Protest.

March 4, 1919. Editor Times: Eei'mit me as a reader of your paper, and on behalf of mrnitii rs of our Local union and hundreds cf workinjrtnrn whom we ennie in eontuct with every day to answer the editorial in the Lake County Times of March 4th. 1910. The slogan "No Beer. No Work." to the best of my knowledge was started in the East. I presume by disgruntled woikingmen who have up until a short time ago been accustomed to having "Their Eeer." The crusade so far Is being voiced from eoust to coast. .We who meet people from at! over the county every day. hear the s-'n'.iment of the majority of the people. By the majority of the people I mean th ? wcrkinKman. and who, of all. has th-? rifcl-t to protest in a jui-t, if an ineffective way against the unjust legislation and the fanatical opposition r.ealnst Personal Liberty but the workingman. The present unrest and industrial condition throughout the country miprht well call for the slogan "No Work. No Beer." While it may he a losing f.stht and thousands of men put on the labor market, it might be well to understand Just the feelinss of the majority of workers in this count ry. Yours respectfully, WALTER J. HI LT RICH. Sec. l.oal No. 3S.

Thirk of a chief of police leaving his city far two days and two nights In company with a woman who hag been accused , of and arrested on several occasions on the charge of keeping a house of ill fame!. This is a fine example for the head f a police department to set for Ma men. Joseph Nitz. chief of police, says he -.as drunk at Burr," i when he entered ;::to a contract to accompany Mrs. Ri sen haunt on the trip. What was he doing in Burnham? He is paid to look nfter the interests of West Hammond. If ilr Nitz is fcuilty as he has confessed. Public Sentiment should demand his removal from the force -il once, as he Is unworthy of employment -s a public officer, and the place remain vacant until a suitable man coul.1 be employed. I appeal to the citizens of West Hammond and ask how much longer must we put up with conditions a they have been under the present administration. W? Hammond Taxpayer.

I do not understand why it was printed a he will not make a clear statement. I never ran him in debt or bought anything I didn't pay for. I never ran any bills except to lr. Fox. A. C.

If he would leave autos alone nnd not buy all the old trash lie wouldn't have to print such notiei s to try and black list bis wife. And as.
