LAWYERS

START STERN RY Investigation of the recent reported bolshevistic activities cf Attorneys Paul Glasier and Dimitreff Economoff of Gary Js now being conducted by the Lake County Ear Association and if the evidence warrants, these men will be disbarred from the practice of law. A meeting of the Lake County Bar Association was held Monday in which the matter was thoroughly discussed. ' Glasier and Economoff were reported to' hae been busy in Red affairs cf Gary ' for a long time. They were said to j have taken prominent parts in the trou- i ble two w eeks ago In which the police j and loyal citizens showed the Reds' their place. "The grievance committee j of which Attorney Glen D. Peters of i Hammond is chairman, acting with At- ' torneys Claude Ridgely and Oliver Starr of Gary, was instructed to make a thorough investigation of the matter and report later to the bar association. If. as has been reported, the Gary lawyers were guilty of disloyal acts, charges to that effect will be preferred by the- committee. Attorneys of the county have been highly indignant over the actions of Glasier and Economoff and many have declared that they do not care to practice law with such men. Before being admitted to the bar, an attorney must take an oath to support the constitution of the United States and the State of Indiana. It is declared that the two bolshevists have violated their oath and otherwise proven their disloyalty. There is a strong sentiment in favor of having the lawyers deported If possible In addition to losing the right to practice their profession.

In some manner he managed to break the chain on Angelo's watch without attracting attention. Then after taklng another drink at Angelo's expense he beat it with the watch. At a second hand store he received $2 for it and the charm which happened to be a perfectly good fifty cent piece. Returning to the saloon lie once more slipped into his place alongside of Angelo who bought him more drinks. Fresently .Angelo decided it w as time to go home and his hand sought his watch. At once he accused Clark of stealing it. An officer searched Clark but found nothing, but he was locked up while an investigation was made? He later confessed end this morning was fined $200 and costs and taken to the Cook county Jail to serve his sentence. SPECIAL AGENT GREEN TO HAVE CALUMET REGION George W.

TEAMSTERS

DIFFERENCES

IRONED OUT Following an unusually long series of meeting and conferences between build' lng material men. team owners, repretntatives of team drivers, the building trades council and the district labor trades council, the settlement of the differences between the team owners and drives in East Chicago and Indiana Har---.A The final method of settlement wai submission to a court of arbitration composed of citht members of ths laby council and eight representatives cf the various classes of building and material men. including one representative of the team ow ners. At first thought this would seem to be a fair method of selecting a court. Some of the team owners were not satisfied, however, inasmuch as the drivers' side would naturally be taken by the labor council and inasmuch as the building and material men were selected somewhat at random by the various sub-organizations with the possibility of having a union sympathized on the board. The report is that this prediction on the part of several team owners was fulfilled and that as a result, the settlement gave the drivers cents on hour more than the team owners felt that they could possibly give. The scale for the ensuing year as a result of the settlement w ill be 52 S cents for a ten hour day. The team owners reit tr.at o cents cn a ten nour day was thir limit.

Head o! Bolshevist Propaganda Finally Nabbed by Authorities. One of the most clever pieces of detective work ever done in East Chicago and one of the most important captures that has occurred in the whole region for a long time came to light yesterday when Capt. William Hughes, head of the East Chicago Bertillon deparment, assisted by Officer Zarkovich, arrested Terenti Barbaruk of Indiana Habor, who is now known to be the local acctrited agent of the L W. W. and the man who has been receiving all literature frcm New York and the one who at this time seems to have been more di rectly responsible than anyone else for the start that has been made in Gary, Etst Chicago and Hammond in the propagation of I. W. W. principles. KIW YORK POLICE GIVE TIP. The Xetv York police department, through cooperation with the postal authorities, got a line on this man's activities about a month ago and immediately sent word to Chief Williams to be on the lookout for him. The marter was turned over to Detective Hughe-? who has been looking for Barbaruk and tracing his history and connections ever since he came to this region four years ago. WORKS IN VAKIOT7S PLANTS. The accused has worked in practically every plant in the district, under various aliases, and seems to be a first cla.all around nachinlst and general workman, capable of handling efficiently simost any Job to which he may be assigned. His efficiency and attainments have secured him entrance where other men would have failed. AVhile for some time he has been living at 3612 Leech street under one name, he has been receiving his mail at 392S Eeech street under another name. This made it hard to trace him. The chain of evidence has been completed, however, and is apparently strong and secure. SOWS SEEDS OP DISCONTENT. He was picked up yesterday morning and the places to which he lias had access were searched. His credentials and other incriminating evidence was found. It is believed that he has sown th seeds of the I. W. W. doctrine in manyof the plants In this district and that he alone has been the orie man higher up that is responsible for "the circulation of all literature that has readied the industrial workers -of East Chics?.-. Indiana Harbor and perhaps the adjoining towns. IS KTJSSIAN EOBN AND EKED. His arrest is causing a good deal of satisfaction to local and government detectives who can see In his apprehen sion the beginning of the end of ac:'chistic socialism at this point. He win be turned over to the department of Justice and those familiar with x'r. methods of this department predict th;. i Barbaruk will probably serve a sentence and then be deported. He is a Russian born and bred. DAILY AERIAL MAIL STARTED INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERV1CC1 CLEVELAND. O.. May li.
