PLANS ARE COMPLETED
Gary's Labor Day Celebra-
ton Has Finishing
Touches Put On.

The plans for the big celebration at
Gary are now complete. There has
never been a Labor Day celebration
that has been advertised as has the one
at Gary.
There have been bills placed in every
residence in Lake county and tonight
there will be shown sterioptican ad-
vertisements in ali of the moving pict-
ure shows in the region.
On the front of all of the Chicago.
Lake Shore & South Bend trains there
have been placed posters which will
show that big show is to be put on
at Gary and the newspapers over the
county have all been liberal with their
space.
AS Labor Day draws near the plans
of the Gary unions, acting under the di-
rection of the Lake County Building
Trades council. have materialized and
everything is now ready except the
starting of the parade.
1t is understood that the speaker
which it was at first thought would ad-
dress the unions at Gary will not be
present. In his place there will be an
fother man of equal or greater ability SO
that there need be no fear that the
speaker of the day will not meet all of
the requirements.
The people of Gary are looking for
ward TO the biggest day that Gary has
ever known and it is expected that
there will be thousands of people in the
| city to see the big industrial parade
and nejoy the dav generally.
1t is understood that every merchant
of Importance in Gary will have a float
| in the parade and some of the designs
are said to be very clever. The picnic
will also be one of the best that has
ever been arranged and there is ever
promise that Gary will entertain her
thousands of people in an orderly hos
pitable.

Bardon. formerly of Gary. Bardon
made the demand upon the city clerk
for the official records yesterday after
noon, and Mike Zellibor. could not re-
fust to let him see them The word
that the books were being examined
spread like wildfire throughout the
town and in a marveiously short time
the town board had formulated their
plan of action, and appeared before
the attorney and demanded that their
books be given to them
Bardon could no nothing more than
give them the books, which they
grasped life a life buoy, ehucked them
into a wagon and headed their trusty
steeds towards the town of Hobart Be
forethey cleared the outskirts of the
village they managed to drop the word
that they were going there to have
their own attorney, Mr. Mains, of Ho-
bart. look over their books, if any
body happened to ask them, and they
did not know when they would return.
Plan Big Demonstration.
The citizens of the wrathy village
thereupon planned for the biggest dem
onstration, Monday night that has ever
been held within the confines of that
normally peaceful settlement Messrs.
Patrick Malone, Gustav Anderson and
John Carr, are hereby warned that
their presence upon this occasion is
likely to incite a riot, and that for the
sake of personal protection, they had
better have their resignation drown
up by that time, or prepare to take to
the tall and uncut.
A band has been hired for the occa-
sion, the citizens will parade on the
streets and then gather in the open
| air where with dummy city officials
strung up to the arms of the platform,
they will denounce with all the vehem-
ence of their lusty lungs, the giving
away of the city's rights.
Gets After Town Board.
| In case the town board does not ac-
quiese to their demands, the records
of the city officials will be placed be-
fore the grand jury by Attorney Bardon
and there they will attempt to have
them impeached and made to step
down and out. At the last meeting
which they held there was $500 raised
for that purpose which they think will
be ample to fight the matter to a bitter
flush. In the petition which they have
circulated the only charge that is made
against the town officials is that OF
gross Ignorance although, they arc
| saying many more uncomplimentary
things about them in conversation.
| The three members of the board
who have so graciously handed GU
franchises at the request of various in.
dividuals are all retired and none OF
them have been working for some time
Malone was a former bartender.
The franchises over which there has
been so much trouble are the electric
light street railway, waterworks ant
telephone. The street railway and wa
terworks franchises have gone to tn,
Blank syndicate, the telephone to tn,
Northwestern Telephone Company ant
the electric light franchise to Senate

WALK OUT At
EAST CHICAGO
Laborers and Cement Works
Tie UP Work For Gary
Construction Co.
REFUSE TO RETURN TO WORK
Contractor Yeagy Reported To Be
Anxious to Pay the Men
Their Demands.
Especial to THE TIMES. }

East Chicago, Ind, Sept ESPECIALLY
One hundred laborers and cement
workers employed by the Cary Con-
struction company and engaged in
building macadam pavement on Bar
ing avenue, in this city, walked out
yesterday and despite an increase in
wages, refuse to return until their de-
mands have ben satisfied.
The strikers are mainly sympathizers
with the local laborers union. which
is affiliated with the Building Trades
council The laborers, according to the
rules of the ciuncil. are classed as ce-
ment finishers and should be given a
wage of 80 cents per hour. They are
at present receiving 90 cents and de-
mand the Is cent increase. There are
twenty laborers at work on the street,
carrying cement and using shovels.
WaikOut Happens Yesterday.
The walkout was declared about 9
o'clock yesterday morning. Late yes
terday afternoon Contractor Yeagy,
who has charge of the work, offered
the men raise to 80 cents per hour,
but was repulsed. I'VE demand the
entire Is cent raise" he was told, and
until we get it there will be no work
competed OH Barring avenue 1ne
men feel that if the company can give
the 10 cent rate it can just as easily
grant an addition cents per man.
A consultation with the business
agents of the Transfers brick Layers
Hold Carriers and Cement Finishers'
locals was held yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Yeagy declared that the company
could not afford to pay 35 cents per
hour for laboring work, but promised
| to take the matter up with the Gary
| Construction company.
! The contract also includes the max
| ing of several blocks of cement side
walks north of the Wabash tracks on
Barring avenue and Contractor Yeagy
| fears that his material, if allowed to
stand, will be entirely spoiled. The
! strikers are confident that amicable
agreement will be reached before Tues
day Memeers of other locals are I'M
able to prosecute their end of the
/ work on account of the lack of labor
ers. Contractor Yeagy, it is said, will
employ nothing but union men, and is
personally disposed to grant their de-
| mands.

ORGANIZE FIRST VOTERS CLUB,

East Chicago, Ind, Sept. 5.-(SpeciaD
Hon. 1. Leon Gould, an attorney of
indianapolis, is in East Chicago, con-
sulting with local politicians regard
ing the feasibility of organizing Re-
publican First Voters club in this city.
Mr.. Gould will probably call a meet
ing the latter part of next week and
steps will be taken towards educating
the younger politicians in republican
doctrines.
Mr.. Gould will also spend a great
deal of time among the foreign ele-
ment of East Chicago, expecting to or
ganize republicans clubs for them both
here and in Indiana Harbor. 1t is es-
timated that there are at least $500
foreigners In this locality whose vote
can be secured by the proper organiza-
ton of such a society. The Indianapo-
lis mans advent will therefore be
hailed with gladness by local commit
teemen and will receive their strong
support.

FIGHT NOW IS
TEST OF STRENGTH
Union Men and Contractors
at Gary to See Which is
the Stronger.
is MAKING A CLEAN FIGHT
Business Agent H p. Smith Warm
ly Commended For Way He
Is Running Strike.

The fight between the union men and
the contractors of Gary has now re-
solved itself into a contest of strength
in which both sides will attempt to see
how long they can stick it out. The
contractors say that the union men
must get work, and the union men say
that the contractors have got to COM
plete their jobs. yesterday Business
Agent Smith signed up several articles
of agreement with contractors among
them being c.. c. Cronin in which he
agrees to comply with their demands.
Fight Has Been Peaceful.
The fight between the two powers
thus far has been as clean and peace
full as it is possible to be. The strug-
gle has been for points as in game
of checkers, and no violence or sug-
gestion of violence has marred the
clean struggle. A stranger upon en-
tering the city would never find out
that there was a lockout on, if he were
not so informed. There are no idle
men congregating around the streets
ther are no rufians assaulting the
workmen or the contractors. Much
credit for this manner of conducting
the fight must be given to the business
agent of the laborers, II. P. Smith.
His Version of the Affair.
Mr.. Smiths version of the affair is
that 35 cents an hour considering the
number of days off, that a man car
work during the year and the hare
work that he does while at work, JUS
titles them in asking for more money
He also says that 35 cents per hour Is
what the contractors are paying in the
other cities and that he does not under
stand why Gary should not be willing
| to pay the same.
In regard to the men lying idle Smitl
says that this is not true. AS soor
as the men are locked out of a jol
we send them over to East Chicago o,
Indiana Harbor or Hammond wher,
there is plenty of work. We have fount
| employment for every man that ha
lost his job so far, and l think we can
continue to do so throughout the diff

(speciaI to The rtmes.l

Miller Station, Ind, Spet. 6.-The
pent up Indignation of the popuIace of
Miller at their city fathers for the let
ting of prOmiscuous franchises, broke
yesterday into the most wrothy, seeth-
ing, antagOnistic outburst. that has
ever been witnessed In this county. The
feeble demonstrations of the citizens of
East Chicago have been put to shame
by the action of nearly the whole city
as a body in demanding the resigna-
ton of the town officials, whose career
In that capacity they feel has hIackened
the piOus name of "NIiIIer."
Yesterday upon discovering that the
records of the town were being ex-
amined by an attorney employed by the
citizens for that purpose, the town
board demanded that the books be re-
turned to them, and after placing them
in a rig, drove with the only official
record of their deeds as city executives
to Hobart, where they placed them in
safety, until such a time as they be-
lieve the storm has blown over, and
