A genuine sensation was created in South
Chicago when it became known that the i'm
Mense plant of the North Chicago Rolling
Mill company st the mouth of the Calumet
river was to be shut down for an indefinite
period. Before evening some 1900 men
had called at the company's Office and re-
ccived their pay. Between 800 aud 400 men
are still employed about the works on
repairs and cleaning up. The cause Of tho
unexpected turn Of affairs is due directly

books of the North Chicago company
and indirectly to the present political situa-

railroads are Withholding their orders on
account Of the present state Of politics. We
have some August deliveries I'd make, and
it is quite probable that We will resume thu
latter part of this month"
