'Four hundred strikebreakers, brought into Hammond by boat last night, marched into the big plants of the Standard Steel Car company in the Indiana town today, taking the places of the company's work, men, who have been on strike for two weeks. 'Striking emp'oyes gathered at the gates to this plant ready to de'"y the importation of stn'ebrcakers. but outbreaks of violence were prevented by heav cordons of tnilitary Guards."

As an unparalle ed . xatupio of newspaper lying the!

above is a first class example. The idea of bringing 40o strikebreakers into Hammond by boat is a novel one and the reporter who wrote it probably lingered too long in j Burnham on his way out there. Probably he mn the) ! oat coming overland on wheels from Lake Michigan. As j for the striking employes g.atherinc at the gates in do-1

promised. . The city administration will give the faro

I'll pay you that providing you spend $500 for a new cash register"? Who is paying the two-cent fare, the citv council or the people of Hammond? This receivership and mandate proceedings may take many weeks to settle. Court action goes Just so fast. Is the city going to keep Hammond without street car service until it makes the street railway dig up the 3410,000? If that is its intention, Hammond might as well qU;t hoping that it will ever ride in a street car again. The business men and industries of Hammond have a richt to demand street car service and they ought to get. busy tnd demand their rights. It seems as if the Chamber of Commerce ought to be getting into the saddle and make itself useful in this tmergency. The business men who are paying dues to keep the organization going are asking that it get busy and take the initiative. The city isn't getting anywhere with either of its strikes. Both of them have lasted entirely too long. Everybody seems to be resting on his haunches, waiting for the other fellow to get busy. The best news that could happen to Hammond is that its city council had gone on strike and wou'.d never return.

fSPECUL TO THE TIMESI INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Aug. 23. President John G. Brown, of the Indiana

Federation of Farmers' Aftoeia t ions, has rejoined Federation offirlals in the HO.-' 00O fc-uarar.tee fund ea m pa: i?ri. after ten days In Wash mwt on representing Indiana farmers. He went to Washington, j with farmers' representatives from five ; other middle western stairs mfiking ur ; "the. nti'-ion's bread basket.' to confer ! with President Wilson on tin- high eost ; of living. While there. President Prow n ! and the other farm leaders went over i farm and food production problems with ; the Department of Agraulture and rnn- . gressiona! Committees. j "The trip to the capital." said Mr. I Brown in a statement today, "illustrates ! once more the need for an orsanizatlon ; like the federation. National leaders j had to know the attitude of the farmers j before they could outline their course in j the, campaign against the hii;h cost of living. The only way they could learn , this attitude was by interviewing men j from the h'.g agricultural states who j were in position to know how the pro- I ducers feel " j Indiana farmers, working on the or- j ganization of the federation, had exchanged views frequently and establish-

until the company came back. They did not bind at the station where we were, but about fifteen miles from there, where ' I am stationed now. They said they had ; some hike, I was lucky to get out of it. i I will tell you more about everything ' when I get home, but the Lord knows , when that will be. The next letter I write will he after we tret back to our barracks. We have eight more days to j stay along the railroad, then we will h'- relieved by another company. The j only kind of relief I am looking' for

n-.w is the one to go hoirv;. They relieve the Japs every six months. "We have been here nine months already and it may be a. full yar before we pet cut of this country. We certainly have had fine weather the last month. The days are very hot. but the nights are. just right to sleep. I think I will pull through this expedition all right: at least I hope so. Weil, this Is all for Ih's time; with love to all. as ever jours. JOE.

ed a fairly definite program of action. When Washington asked for advice, therefore. the federation was able, through me. to place the Indiana posi tion before the country's executives. I feel that this was important. Six months a 50, without the federation, we. would not have had so food an opportunity to plead our case." Mr. Erown added, however, that his trip to Washington was only an incidental in the federation program. lis leaders have set a definite course for th organization, he said, and this course Is only begun. The creation of the, $20il.c('0 guarantee fund, which is well under way. is the first step. Secretary Ltwis Ta lor and Special Treasurer William ISossoTi, going over the campaign today with Mr. Brown, advised him that rund will surelv- he completed ty Seirtembcr !:Uh. "Once the fund 13 completed.' said Mr. Brown, "we will take up our real, permanent work. We are going to work out cur own protection against the profiteer, and we are going to find eom way in which we can protect our interests in dealing with the packers and grain men. Further than that, the federation will find ways to reinforce the county agriculture agent program, and will take up such work as the protection of farming interests in legislation. The need for the organization is (evident, and farmers throughout the stat? are lining up with us."

Mr. Brown will spend the next few weeks speaking at meetings of the farmers of Indiana. He was scheduled to talk this week at a first district meeting in Plymouth, and next wee' la slated to speak at district meetings at Shfclbyville and Bloorr.field.

In the county to arrange a Welcome Home Day celebration for returned soldiers and sailors and the finance committee is soliciting subscriptions to make the affair a successful one. One of the most important duties is to meet the returning soldiers and to extend a most cordial greeting to them. Every citizen of Ea.-t Chicago obligated himself more than once to greet these men when they returned. Unfortunately, no large uni's returned, and what the Twin City has in mind as the possible duty could nor be c irried out because of men returning in small numbers and unannounced. Hence the need of setting aside a Welcome

IS HE RIGHT? The following letter i wcrthy of thought and the deepest consideration. It is an editorial in itself written to a newspaper: "I am a life insurance man, on industrial debit, covering about 1 families every thirty days. I go into the homes of the rich and poor, business men and tradesmen, union men and non-union men. "The fewest complaints I hear are in I he homes of the really poor non-union, working classes. These people are smuggling along in silence, always hoping that times will he better and food cheaper. "The most complaints I hear aie from the people that are eating chicken about twice a wek and buying silk stockings, silk shirts, silk " underwear, silk petticoats, silk skirts and silk dresses, $10 to if 15 shoes and $15 to $"0 hats. I know a union bricklayer's family, and if you could see these people's clothes j'ou would think that they owned the Standard Oil company. And if you ask the father about industrial conditions, lie will swear so that the devil himself would call him master. "Believe me. there is no more extravagant and careless people under the pun than are here in the eood old U. S. A. And it makes one who is ch ar sighted fear that this rood country of ours is going the same road that the old Roman empire wen'. "Vanity and money madness are at the limit."
