Strike Situation in East Chicago is
Worse Than Yesterday--Six
Hundred More Men Out.
MAGNATES CENSURE THE APATHY OF CITIZENS
Management of Closed Plants, Score Business Men and
Workmen- Interstate Would Locate Second Plant
But Fears Unequal Contest With Ignorance

The strike situation at East Chica-
go and Indiana Harbor is becoming
more serious every day. This morn
ing the 500 employees of the Interstate
Iron and Steel company went out on
strike and the total number Of idle
men in these cities is now about 500.
So far the trouble has not spread to
the Inland Steel company's plant at
Indiana Harbor and at present there
seems to be no likelihood that 1t WILL
but there is always danger of some
thing happening when the men are in
such a restless condition.
Z. ]. Block. the general manager of
the Inland company's plant when in
terviewed by a LAKE COUNTY TIMES re-
porter this morning, said he did not
expect trouble over there as the men
seemed satisfied with their present
wages.
General Manager L. w. Crane of the
Republic Iron and Steel works at East
Chicago. said this morning that there
seems to be no personal feeling among
the employees of his plant. Forty or
fifty of the men went on a strike for
a wage increase of cents per hour.

not seem to know what they want. He
said that his company would be will

Ing and no organization, to grant one
gang of men the increase they would
simply be paving the way for other
demands.
Johns Is Disguised.
Charles Johns, general manager of
the Interstate Steel and Iron works, is
of the same opinion, but he expresses
himself very positively regarding the
situation in East Chicago.
Mr.. Johns granted THE LAKE COUNTY
TINES reporter an interview and did
not mince his words when he said: Il
am disgusted with the labor situation
in East Chicago. We are compelled to

ROOSEVELT Stopped OVER"
CFrom the san Francisco Chronicle).
Senator George c. Perkins of this
state is quoted as saying that there
would have been no trouble i'm the
japanese matter if the President had
not stopped over" in his message.
The Senator may be thankful that
when making such a remark about
the chief magistrate of his country he
was not a subject of the Presidents
great and good friend the Kaiser VIII
liam. Had he been so mail and tele-
grams addressed to him would by this
time have reached him only by the
hands of a turnkey and the truer the
statement the deeper and darker would
have been his dungeon. Happily the
Senator is a citizen not only of the
home of the brave but the land of the
free and he walks the pleasant streets
of Oakland in security We fear that
he has made himself persona non graz
Ia at what Roosevelts recent prede-
cessors called the executive mansion,
but it is noticeable that as the days
of the years of the Presidents term
grow less there is increasing plainness
of speech on the part of those who
have frequent need to invoke the eX-
orcise of the appointing power.
The Senator, however, proceeds to
Justify our Legislature in needing the
the Presidents request not to submit
to the people of the state the question
of whetherd they do or do not desire
the exclusion of Japanese coolies. We
do not see why the President should
have asked that or why our Legisla-
tue should have complied when he
did ask. 1t is said that circumstances
have been sent from certain persons
in this state against any interference
with japanese immigration, claiming
that the agitation against them was
inspired by demagogues who grossly
misrepresent the people of the State.
Such a charge, in substance, was made
by the President himself in his cele-
brated message, in which, according
to Senator Perkins, he stopped over"

| tain the truth was to ask the people
