(BT HAROLD CROSS) OTimea Staff Reporter .MICHIGAN' CITT. Ind . June, Tour reporter. In the role, of P'.ogT-nes, found John C. Miller, the honest courtclIroAa. watching the baseball scores In a cigar store. Mr. Aliller, you will recall, startled northwestern Indiana, by turning down a bribe of J10.000 and exposing: a $100,000 slush, fund. If this was ever done before In Michigan City no mention has been made cf it. As a result of his fearless Integrity Councilman Miller was reported in danger of losing bis seat in the city hail, his Job as a freight conductor and numerous other things including his social standing In the community. BSZES XEFTJSXS, SOCIAL EBSO&? It seemed as though John should have another cnance. Any councilman is liable to make one mistake. The next time a million dollar deep sewer contract came up for ratification together with a roll of nice crisp $1,000 bills, he would undoubtedly lock the question up In the - councilmanic book of etiquette beforo making a social blunder. So the reporter went down to see if 'here was any little thing that could be done about it. He was somewhat surprised to find John at liberty and care free. 'We heard you were in a pretty pickle because you exposed the graft ?rnund the city hall," the interviewer began. "According to our information Major Fred C. Miller had ousted you ...,t of the council, get your job and the pang not only threatened to run 'a cut of town but talked about tak1 a your life. Michigan City is said hu a wild town, what with bootleg'ng. open gambling and a red light iVuncilman Miller laughed. No- !. j hast so much as said 'boo' to me," be declared. "Don'tou know that a ,-r.x.k is scared of his shadow. One orli.nar;., evory-day honest man can run a whole mob of crooks into the woods "I had a lot of fun getting up at that mass meeting last week and exposing he graft gang to 1,209 taxpayers who pat there with their mouths wide open, hey were &o astonished at what had 1 ' en going on. I laughed after I went to hi that night, thinking how the gang was taking to cover. NOTHXSrO CAN HAPPEN TO HZM "Xcthing can happen to a man that is square by his neighbors, friends and family. I don't know where you got the tip that I was going to lose my job because I showed the crowd up.

"A man haa a right to be proud of beln(f honest but Ilk a virtuous woman he shouldn't go around braegtng about it. Most men ere honest, Just the same as moat -women are virtuous. In the block In which I live, I don't know a man who wouldn't have done the very same thing a-s I did. only perhaps they wouldn't tell about it.

Citizens of BatCe Ground are open in their assertions that the girl was j murdered. Dr. F. M. Biddle of Battle t Ground said that the spot where the J girl's body was found was seven miles irom tne Van Camp home and he agreed with Sheriff Weinhart that no girl ;n Miss Van Camp'js condition would have walked seven miles.

E The Jury in room 1 of the Hammond superior court is deliberating this afternoon on the question of whether or not the Continental Casualty company should be required to pay Mrs. Clara Rhodes Whitmore. $300 which she says is due on a policy held by her son, who was killed Sept. 29, 1918.

U. S. FINDS CAUSE OF HIGH COSTS

Four Hundred Odd Associations Still Operate Under "Gentlemen's Agreements". BY GEORGE R. HOLMES STAFF eCSRESPONCENT I. N SERVICE WASHINGTON, June 1. The administration has found what it believes to be one of the principal causes for the high cost of living. And in finding it there is also found an answer to the question continually being asked by the farmers: "Why is it that everything we have to buy still has the wartime price tag attached, while everything we sell is down to rock, bottom in price?' The answer, according to surveys already made by the department of justice and the department of commerce, is found in the four hundred odd associations organised along industrial lines, which have net disbanded since; the w ar and which are still operating j under "amicable understandings" and j "gentlemen's agreements" regarding i prices and selling territories. j The investigation of these assoclations by government agents has so far only tapped the surface of conditional but they have disclosed enough to' warrant Attorney Gneral Daughterly; announcing today that anti-trust pro-j ceedings are going to be brought against several of the more open, "combinations." Attorney-General Daugheity today characterized some of these associations as the most "ingenuous" schemes 1 he ever saw. S cleverly have the associations been made among various competing businesses, that in mimy ; cases there is grave doubt w hether j they can be dissolved under existing; laws and in such instances, h said, moral suasion is being attempted. 11 they are recalcitrant and stubborn the government will take them into court! under civil and criminal statutes. ' Lumber and coal men, cement men,' clothing men, manufacturers engaged' in the same line all have their asso- j ciations, their orsanizations and thcir; "understandings." The farmer has none of these, broadly speaking, and there-j in lies the cause of the present wide; difference betw een the price of he j product the farmer has to sell and the produce he has to buy. i Many of these organizations irere formed during the war under govfcrn- j mental encouragement. The govern-; ment needed information concerning; production, capacity of output. There; was only one way to get it by or- j ganization. Ho the government shut' one eye to the organizations that were j formed and was glad enough to find a.1 single organization in any one industry which could speak for all or a great majority of the business in that ! Industry. j The organization collected figures! and information which was of vital Importance to the government: It i simplified things for the government! to be able to call upon the secretary of the association for data on a while! industry and be able to get it quickly! and accurately. The government was pleased and so w a.3 business.
