vania and Lake Shore railroads, other lines
being near by. The structure is a large
square building on a site covering less
than two acres. The building Is equipped
with all modern gambling apparatus, pool
selling and betting devices. Soon after
the erection of the building a high board
fence with entrances was built around the
establishment. which is well and constantly
guarded. A force of men is engaged in
working on the premises.
Back of the enterprise are a number Of
Chicago's wealthiest gamblers, most Of
whom are interested in the Roby race
track, who, up to this time, have succeeded
in keeping the fact quiet. Full operations
will not begin until the race tracks about
Chicago are closed, when foreign bookmak-
will be installed No interference has
been made with the project. No Chicago
paper has ever mentioned the existence Of
the place. Lake county officials are silent
and none OF the local newspapers seem to

headquarters were more quiet to-day than
they have been since the strike order was
talked Of The officials of the organization
were busy all day attending TO routine
business and getting out material for the
various local lodges of the association that
have been organized during the past few
weeks. \ report was received early in the
morning from the strikers in New Castle,
announcing the order for strike had been
obeyed to the letter and the men were out
to man. The news of the starting of the
Clark mills here was not surprising TO the
officials of the organization as they had re-
ceived intimations Of what was 10 happen

fectly understood in Lawreneeville. the Of

caused the colored men TO return TO work

One of the most interesting factors of the
strike is beginning to develop. 1t was inti-
mated thar plan is on foot for the forma-
ton of an advisory board for the purpose
of aiding President Shaffer in carrying on

prove a powerful factor in carrying the
weight of public opinion with the strike and
perhaps give far more substantial support
10 the organization now struggling than by
any other means.
No one in the offices of the trust seems to
expect any settlement of the strike except
by the destruction of the organization of
