GENERAL STRIKE RUMOR
Gary Electrical Workers
and Contractors Engaged
in a Dispute.

A general strike is threatened in
Gary in the building lines unless there
is a settlement of the differences among
the electrical workers union and the
contractors association.
The trouble started some time ago
when ]. ]. Kelley, of the partnership of
Kettles and Kelley, who are members
of the Hammond electrical workers
union, was charged with violating the
working rules of the union, for which
he was fined s25 and which he refuses
to pay.
Men Called or.
The electrical workers being at work
on the Writ building near Seventh
and Broadway, in the Fitzgerald build
ing on Jackson street, between Fifth
and Sixth avenues. and the Conn build
ing. on Washington street. near Eighth
avenue, among the workers being KEEL
ley, the men were called off by the
Hammond organization, which has con-
troll in Gary. The calling off of these
men has involved the contractors as
ISOLATION, who claim to have suggested
arbitration to the building trades coun-
Gil Of Lake county, but that no agree
ment was reached by this method.
The men who were called out this
morning from the three buildings num-
Der about 100. but since there are quite
a number of buildings now under con-
struction general strike would throw
a severe depression on the building ac-
tivities in Gary.

E. D. Reinking's crew Of carpenters is
putting in new coal chutes at Browning
this week, an improvement which will be
appreciated by the trainmen.
Passenger train No. 3 was delayed
three and half hours on Tuesday by a
derailment at Cut Bank, where 10 freight
cars jumped the track.

WhITEFISH vs.. KALISPELL

The Whitefish baseball team will go to
kalispell Sunday for game with the
team there, and which it is expected will
be full of interest. Kalispel and White
fish have met on the diamond twice this
season, and each team has game to its
credit, SO that the game to be pulled off
next Sunday is in the nature of Il cham

the fans from SHUTDOWN, who it is antici-

limit in the hope Of winning back their
lost laurels
1t is hoped to arrange for special
train to take the Whitefish delegation to
the county seat, and if this is done it is
probable that a large number of people
will accompany the team; otherwise it is
not likely that many will go.
Bills have been circulated at Kalispell
and throughout the county advertising
that a large crowd of Whitefish people,
with the band and a full delegation of
rooters, will attend the game, and while
all this may be done If the desired trans
portation facilities can be secured, it is
nevertheless worthy Of mention, that at
the game in Whitefish the crowd which
accompanied the ,Kalispell team here
from that town consisted of somewhere
in the neighborhood of four people.
