People who have followed ths urse of events In the affairs of St. din's pariah as they wore unfoldin these columns will be further trigued by the communication? inted today. The letter from Benjamin J. liris, state superintendent t hools, is a reply to a report 11-7111 ither lienwtlict Rajcany to Guvnor McCray, alleging that th achin? of Slavish has been made 1 issue in the schools of St. hn's parish at the instigation of minority of alien parishoners. 3 asks Governor McCray what he ould do about it. ROM SIBSTAXTIAX CITIZENS. These so-called "Ii reconcilables" mprise some of the most subantial citizens of the two cities, icy say there is another side to e story. A patient public ie willg to hear Loth sides. This newspaper prints the facts they reveal themselves. It"s inrest in the controversy is purely e of service to the communities ected. So far as the Hammond attendee officers are concerned they y their knowledge of the whole !air is confined solely to what ey've read in the papers. They are ready to take action, wever, according1 to Miss Irene in Slyke, of that department, if casion warrants. The communications appended a presented without comment: REPLY TO ARTICLES. "Whiting, Ind., March 18, 1022. o the Editor of The Times: "We the undersigned a duly scted committee of 632 consisting men and women who are memrs of St. John's parish of Whits'. Ind.. wish to reply to several tides appearing in your columns March 13th, 14th and 15th. "The people of the city of Whit5, and more especially the people the St. John's parish of WhitS, Ind., have been greatly shockat the intelligence conveyed in :ent articles appearing in your per in refernce to the existing ntroversy between members ci is parish and their pastor.

i-Mrst. It i3 a falsehood that the

ople of St. John' parish desire e introduction of the Slovak iguage in schools during school urs. This is used by Father nedlct to hide from the general bile the real reason of dissatisrtion of the majority of the metnrs of St. John's parish. TELL REAL REASON. Second. The . real reason being: lat commencing about a year lor to the six months vacation of ther Benedict the congregation :re told that in May, 1922. they uld have a fine new church edle, -which is sorely needed, as the tult of the contributing and vari-

s fund- raising activities that d been going forward, and a neral belief had grown up among ;ra that the parish was well out debt and had a substantial bui'd-

I r und on hand. Father liene-

:t at various timas made the itement In church that there was debt of any sort on the parish sporty. Upon taking leave of 3 people for his six months vation. Father Benedict introduced d installed Father Joseph Zalib1 as temporary pastor. One f

i first things Father Zalibera did is to render to the people a nncial report of the funds as he ind them, disclosing to a horrli parish' the fact that instead of :ng comfortably off as they had pposed, the pariah was $30,700 in ot, with a very small amount of ih on hand. Tnls disclosure :atly disheartened many of the st loyal supporters of the jrch, who taw what they had jugt to be a goal almost in sight ,-ealed to them as a hard fight rdly begun. But they neverthes put their shoulders to tho eel, and under the guidance and :ouragement of Father Zalibera 5 sum of fifteen thousand ($15.i) dollars was raised In the si.t nths of Father . Benedict's abice. This amount would have :n trebled If the people would ve been sure that Father Bene:t would not return, as they had t all confidence in his as. a leadVpon Father Benedict's return Whiting he knew what was the .1 cause for the dissatisfaction X existed in the parish and he 1 opportunities in church and in Mic to explain to the people and ke a report to them of his stewIship DID HE DO IT? No, he not. The people for the past years were not given the rignt elect trustee's to help manager church's financial affairs--!her Benedict delegated that t" iself.

NDUSTRES

ARE AFTER

When the Wolff Manufacturing Co. movedfrom its old quarters in West Hammond in the new building west of Hohman street, and north of the Michigan Central tracks in Hammond, the old building at L.incoui and I'lummer avenues was vacant for a long time. Then two new industries sprung up which took over the deserted plant and are now clamoring for more room. They are the State Tailoring Co., and the Swanstrom Water System Co. Comparatively few people know of their existence yet both are thriving and furnishing employment to several hundred people. The State Tailoring Co., is backed by West Hammond capital. Bob Jirks. the manager has had the plant running for two months. Men's clothing is the output. There are now more than 100 men and girls employed in tha plant and probably twenty-five women are doing yor in their homes. "We are now turning out 300 suits of clothes a week with these 125 employes," said Manager Jirks today, "and as soon as we get more space we will increase the force to 500. We expect to turn out 1.000 suits a week. We sell to the big wholesalers and our product is meeting with a ready market." In another part of the building is the Swanstrom Water System Co.,

of which Cornelius Moor is president and general manager. The company manufacturers a new type of

pump for private water systems, towns, villages or community plants. By the system water is raised from the well by air pressure. The air is pumped into a large reserve tank and from there is released into

the well jump as needed. It throws a steady stream 30 or 40 feet. Mr.

Moor is enthusiastic over his system. "You see in the old plants," he says, "the water was pumped into pressure tanks and stored until it is needed. The mud, iron and other sediments collected In the tank causing the water to have a bad taste and appearance for a while. In this plant the water stays in the cool depths of the well until you open the spigot. All of the work

ing parts which may get cut of ord-! re are located on top of the ground.' It is not necessary to pull up the' whole pump if something goes; wrong." J The general manager of the big: plant of the International Harvester, Co., has been using a Swanstrom in- !

stallation at his home and likes it. Thousands of them are in use elsewhere.

ALMOST A ' CELEBRATION Holiday at city hall almost! This is when City Comptroller Harry Broertjes announces he's the proud father of a baby boy. "And he shall be called Warren," says Mr. Broertjes. "Warren Gamaliel? Mr. Broertjes?" "No, just Warren." There were cigars for the men. And for the women there was a box of candy. It's Mr. Broertjes" second child. Both boys.

ANTHRACITE HES DOWN APRIL FIRST

BULLETIN. INTERNATIONAL NEWS SEKVICE1 11AZ.EI.TOX, I'a., March -O. Tltouiaa Kennedy, itreoitient of District No. 7, of the I nlted Mine Worker and chairman of the Ki-ale committee of the anthracite mlnt-rw, announced today that a meeting; of the Keneral policy of all hard and Koft coal districts In the country will be called (shortly to be held at liidiaiiapolH to make plans for the hUKpennlon of work on April X. BY GEORGE W. WILLIAMS STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SEF.VICE1 NEW YORK, March 20 All anthracite coal mines will close on April 1st and 155,000 mine workers will put into effect their promise made at the Shamokin convention of a suspension until they have a new agreement with the operators. This is the view of John L. Lewis, chief of the miners, and of S. D. Warriner, spokesman of the operators. Mine workers charge that responsibility rests entirely on the heads of the cat companies. President Lewis said today that the sub-coin-mitee named to discuss anthracite problems with the operators was ready at yesterday's session to star conferences at once. Delay came not to the surprise, but to the disappointment of the miners when operators moved for adjournment until next Tuesday. "Delaying tactics" is what the miners s;y of the operators' program, and such a program, they claim, makes a suspension inevitable. Lewis and his sub-committee have decided to remain on the ground and be ready for any call. They will hold meetings between now and Tuesday, adding the finishing touches to their case. In the ranks of the miners 1t is claimed that the eyes of the operators have been riveted on the bituminous situation. Now that Lewis and Vice President Phil Murray are preparing a call for 600,000 bituminous workers to quit work April 1st. Because the operators have refused to negotiate there Is the chance the anthracite coal owners will change their policy and speed up the conference here. Miners are expecting that when the work of the sub-committees get under way Tuesday, operators will gradually lead to the point where they will ask for a decrease of about fifteen percent in wages. A mass of figures that Jett Lauck, statistician. -has been gathering for many weeks, will be used to off-set any such demand.

FIRST TIME DRY AGENTS FAIL

In response, to word from Washington regarding the prevalence of hootch making in LeGmnge county. Chief George Weeks and Agent Harvey Rhed of the Northern Indiana prohibition squad slipped over into the hill country Friday and Saturday. They had their fill of LaGrange county. Two days buttling with the stickiest mud in the country, with not a still or barrel of wine to show for it have filled them with disgust. It was necessary to make part of the trip by automobile over the clay hills of the lake region. Four times they abandoned their machines stuck in the mud and they wound up the week with a 7-mile hike back to the nearett hotel.
