LABOR TROUBLESTILL
ON At LUMBER YARD
VIM. Bardon Denies That
He is a Driver But Says
He is His Own Boss.
TWO MEN ARE ARRESTED
Both Conflicting Parties Declare That
Matters of Principle Alone Is
Involved.
TWO MEN ARE ARRESTED

The union teamsters at the Paxton
der of the teamsters' union. The only
developments that have resulted thus
far was the arrest of Frank Stelow and
Richard Krueger, two union men, who
were arrested on the charge of provo
cation. They furnished bond in Judge
Prest's court and will appear for trial
next Wednesday,
Differ on Principle.
The disagreeing parties both say
there is principle involved, but both
disagree as to what the principle is.
The union charges that the Lumber
company has delivered lumber through
non-union teamster, William Bardon,
to a non-union contractor, while the
lumber company maintains that the
non-union teamster was hired by the
non union contractor to deliver the
lumber and that If any person or body
would take it upon itself to dictate
to a corporation to whom it shall de-
liver, that not only a principle of
equity is violated but also such cor
poration is showing discrimination and
is amenable under the law.
Is the First Fall Out.
The Paxton Lumber company has al
ways been on friendly terms with the
unions and has employed union driv-
ers until yesterday. While the union
men are out the company is using its
teams to haul it's own lumber from the
cars to the yard, the union drivers hav-
ing been replaced by yardmen for this
work.
William Bardon, who was hauling the
lumber from the lumber yards to the
north side is a team owner himself and
drives his own team, and says he has
a right to do so.

UNIONS WORK HARD
FOR SUCCESS OF DAY
Next Year May See Repe-
tition of Troubles Over
Place of Celebration.
MUCH STRIFE BETWEEN BODIES
Hammond Celebration Will Be a
Stem -Winder If Hard Work
Counts for Anything.
MUCH STRIFE BETWEEN BODIES

That the troubles between the Trades
and Labor council and the Building
Trides council are likely to repeated
again this year unless there is a change
in the leadership of one of these organ
izations seems likely from the fact that
the Trades and Labor council has given
the East Chicago unions the promise
that if they come to Hammond this
year the Hammond council will go to
East Chicago next year and the Build
ing Trades council has been promised
by the Gary unions that they will come
to Hammond next year.
May Cause Another Split.
It is apparent therefore that the ac-
tion of one branch of the unions in this
city in withdrawing from the other
and holding an independent celebra
ton, when Gary was promised the CO.
operation of all of the Hammond un-
ions, will result in a similar split next
year and the Calumet region may have
two Labor Day celebrations indefinitely
The rivalry between the two coun-
ellis continues The Trades and La
Dor council is doing all in it's power
to make the Hammond celebration
success.
They have advertised it broadcast.
There is not an attraction that they
can secure which has not been pro-
vided. When the promoters of the
Hammond celebration learned that the
Building Trades council had offered a
certain ball team $40 to play game
in Gary the Trades and Labor pro-
moters promptly offered $25. 1t devel-
oped, however. that the Gary people
found that they did not have the proper
grounds for a ball game in Gary and
had given up the idea of having the
team play.
Bitter Rivalry Is Felt
This rivalry is being felt in every
thing that either crowd undertakes. The
members of the Building Trades council
claim that they hired the only union
bill poster in the city to put up their
bills over the city. They paid him for
his work and also paid a bill for his
car-fare and other expenses and then
found that at the same time he was
working for the Trades and Labor
council and had put one of their bills
along side of every bill that the Build
| ings Trades council put out.

Locates For Practice of
Law in Hammond Bldg.

Walter T. Hardy of Delphi the home
of Charles Lands, has come to Ham
mond and has decided to begin the
practice of law here. He has secured
suite of rooms on the fifth floor of
the Hammond building and is located
in room 504.
Mr.. Hardy came to Hammond ten
years ago and thought some of be-
ginning the practice of law here, but
was persuaded to go to Delphi instead.
Delphi has not grown much in the
meantime, while Hammond has become
the metropolis of Northern Indiana and
Mr.. Hardy has decided to locate here
after all.
In Delphi Mr. Hardy was the master
commissioners of the Carroll circuit
court under appointment by Judge Tru-
man F. Palmer and has been admitted
to the supreme and federal courts of
Indiana. He will come with consider
able experience in the practice of law

H NJ IAN Is HURT
Edward Carroll Injured In
ternally, But Will Prob
ably Recover.

Edward Carroll, switchman in the
employ of the Indiana Harbor railroad,
residing in 256 Truman avenue, was
internally injured in the Gibson yards
yesterday afternoon when he was try
ing to cut off car while switching.
He was standing on what is known
as the dead wood of one car and was
trying to cut off another when sudden
ly the engine put on the brakes and
took the slack out of the string of
cars and Carroll was thrown to the
tracks under the train.
1t was remarkable that he did not
have one of his limbs cut off, but as
it was he was internally injured and
and inquiry at the hospital this morn
ing developed the fact that while he is
seriously injured he is likely to re-
cover. He was removed to St Mar
gart's hospital by Stewart ambulance.

Hammond people are buying
dirty milk and paying dirty milk
prices, is startling statement made
by United States Government In
spector Ivan c. Weld, whose inter-
view with The Times published to-
day is the biggest sensation the city
has known in years. His statement
is a denunciation of the milk meth
DDS used in Lake county. When he
returns to Hammond a still bigger
sensation Is expected.
MAYOR BECKER INTERESTED.
Frank A. Tucker. the state food and
drug inspector, says that Mayor Law
renee Becker has promised to use his
influence to have a city pure food in
spector appointed whose duties shall be
to inspect the source of the milk and
meat supply of the city. see that the
manufacturers of foodstufs obey the
law and make water analysis when
ever necessary.
1t is said that Mayor Becker has be-
come convinced that the revelations
which have been made show that
farmers whose milk and meat has been
refused by Chicago buyers, dump the
inferior product into this city Ham
mond is just enough of an obstacle in
the stream of commerce between the
country districts and Chicago to take
the scum off from the food products
which are shipped there.
NEED AN EXTRA MAN.
1t is out of the question for the
secretary of the board of health to
spend his time ferreting out these
abuseS when he may make enemies by
so doing that would cost his medical
practice several times the 500 a year
salary which the office pays.
Mr.. Tucker seemed to be very well
pleased with the interest that Mayor
Becker has taken in his efforts to i'm
prove conditions in this region and he
suggested to the mayor the name OF
a young man in Indianapolis, who is
a thorough chemist, can make a good
water analysis, has had experience in
the inspection of food products and
who could be secured for a very small
sum.
Mr.. Tucker says that such a man
would be worth many times his salary
to the city. He says that when a po-
liceman succeeds in preventing a rob-
Der from shooting a citizen, he is hailed
as hero, and yet let doctor prevent
scores of deaths from disease and lit
tie is thought of it,
SAYS 1T Is DISGRACE TO CITY.
Mr.. Tucker says that it is a dis
grace to Hammond that there have
been half as many cases of typhoid
fever here as there have been in Chi.
cago when typhoid is a prevalent dis
ease which originates from filth.
Mr.. Ivan C. Weld. the representative
of the L. S. department of agriculture
who has been working with Mr.
Tucker here, left the city yesterday

Action Against Local
Railroad Company.

Changing Water Course and
Causing Flood.

Some of the Hammond Lake county
huntsmen and fieshermen who have
been going to Shelby on the Kankakee
river to fish and hunt will be interested
in a suit which Benjamin Fogli, for
merly of Hegewisch the proprietor of
a hotel and club house there, has sart-
ed against the Monon railroad.
1t appears from the complaint that

In all Mr.. McAleer, the attorney for
Mr. Fogli, thinks that he has been dam
aged to an extent of $4,000 and he is
suing for that amount in the Lake Su-
perior court.
The complaint alledges that the plant
iff is the owner of several acres of
land which are drained by an ancient
natural water course which has drain
eG the land from time immemorial. 1t
states that the railroad built its road
bed across this course and then grad
ually filled in the space around the
bridge which spanned the course.
Last spring when the water was high
it rose above Mr.. Fogli's buildings and
de mayed them all considerably, where
fore Mr.. Fogli, through his attorney,
Mr.. McAleer is asking for $4,000 dam
ages
The property is in Newton county in

A veritable island paradise has
been created on Blalock island in the
Columbia river, by DR.. N. G. Blalock,
the pioneer physician and open river
worker OF Walla Walla.
H. c. Willis, formerly Of this city,
but now in charge of the island prop
erty for DR.. Blalock, came up last
evening for few days visit and tells
something OF the wonderful variety
of products grown on the island.
At the present time there are 400
acres of alfalfa growing on the island,
200 acres in orchard, large garden
tracts and over 5000 acres of fine
pasture on which about $50 head of
cattle are now grazing.
The peach orchard comprises 100
acres and is laden with fine crop Of
fruit and a mixed orchard of 100
acres of plums, prunes. cherries, ap-
rlcots and other varieties is all bear
ing we'll.
The hay crop of the island amounts
to over 1000 tons per year the larger
part of this being fed to beef cattle
on the island. The entire farming and
orchard area of the island is irrigated
from a pumping plant consisting of
100 horsepower gasoline engine
which pumps 5000 gallons per minute
and irrigates the entire tract in a To-
hour shift each day.
A force of six men, experienced ir-
rigators, is kept at work in irrigat-
ing the farming land and orchard and
a total population of 10 people lives
upon the island.
A fine gasoline launch is used be-
tween the island and the Oregon
shore, the landing being near Coyote
station on the o. r. & n.
