FIRST PAY DAY SINCE
PANIC, WAS QUIET one

The first payday at the Standard
Steel Car company's plant since the
recent panic was a quiet one The
police anticipated some trouble but did
not have any. There was a little
drunkenness but the saloons were not
as well filled as usual.
1t is rumored that the first payday
did not result in as large a distribu-
ton of wages as was expected on ac-
count of the fact that many of the
workingmen were urged to pay their
accumulated rent to the Standard COM
pany before settling other bills.
The spirit of economy seems to be
on the settlem and the people there
are saving { money instead of
spending it f9 ishiy. The saloons, of
which many ere run by Irresponsible
and lawless men. have not yet become
the centers of crime that they are ex-
pected to become when the workinmen
get q surplus of money but the police
are expecting trouble sooner or later
There were more foreigners seen in
the business districts of Hammond Sat
urday night than for some time and
they did put some money into circu-
lation.
