Kast Chicago shows the greatest per cent of pain. Her population increased SS per cent. In the ten years, almost doubling. Hammond gave an increase of 72 per cent. It is bel;e,i that 1'hineas Kent as census 0i rector for the district gave the Calumet region th most accurate census possible. Itecherls were ma.de where requested and every effort was ma'ie to list every pers.,n in the district. Many rn ms were ad led long after the enumerators had completed their canvass. Kast Chicago suffered a heavy loss through the fact, that of the thousands of foreign born persons, who returned to their obi homes in Kurone, the majority were from Indiana Harbor. Hammond also sufTre.i through this exodus, but not f.s heavily as her neighbor city. The new census aivancs both cit!e? to the second class which means a number of important changs In the forms of city government, fnctud.ing higher salaries for city officials after the next election. i MONEY PLENTIFUL III EAST CHICAGO Colored Woman Gives Up $700 For Her Share in Counterfeit $3,000 Bills Mrs. Sarah Walker, colored, of nr-2 1 Mei'ook avc, East Chicago, felt, that she was beinp royally treated by two co'cr-d gentlemen when tliey insisted that she take a share of three $1,000 oil's which one of thcif picked up while walking with her. i'.y a process if division, subtraction and lobiition it as 4i.-i-;,b-d that sl-c was f-ntitbd to J il and ail that was ri'-o-.i.ry was for her to change the kills in order that the divisb-n could be made.

To The Public

A Concise Statement oy the Men Who Quit Their Jobs With the Railroads and Why. It has been stat-d that we nre on strike. This- is wrong. We are not on strike. We quit our jobs for the fact and reason that the pay we receiveil was m.t sufficient to maintain ourselves and families. The rates paid by tho railroad companies for the eight hour day are as follows: Yard Conductor J5.33 Yard Helper 500 Switch Tender 4.ft0 Y'ard Engineer 5.76 (or an average of 72c per hour) Yard F. re man 4.28 (or an average of 52Va per hour) The rates of pay ryfked by Yard Ce-nductors Is JS.au: arid Yard Helpers 57. fl"1; fe..r Sw itrh e riders ?5.r0 per day; for the eight hour day; ar.d the engineers and firemen are cor.terr.pla.tlng a similar increase. We ask you what man can maintain a family on thj present rates of pay. The various Brotherhood RaProad organizations, while the railroad-) were under government control, er.trroi into a compact with the government, to adjust the differences d-ir'ng the period cf such control, an 1 in M.p-h manner as there would 1. no interruption to succ-ssfu! operation and tl-. -ils substantiated by. the fat that each and every rmn stuck to his post during such period. Inactivity en the part of those responsible for making the adjustment has caused our patience to cease to be a virtue.
