MUST RIDE IN CLOUD

South Chicago City Railway
Company Lets It's Sprink-
lers Stand Idle.
WOMEN Ruin THEIR DRESSES
Dirt An Inch Thick Is Permitted On
Stony Island Line-No Relief
In Sight.

Universal complaints continue I'M
abated, regarding the dirty, grimy con-
ditions of the local street cars. The
conditions which the South Chicago, as
well as Hammond. Whiting and East
Chicago people are subjected to are be-
coming almost unbearable
On the Stony Island avenue line the
dust is so thick at times that the whole
car is filled with cloud settling on the
dresses of the women and children and
running them. The seats are also COW
cred with women entering the cars with
white dresses, have them soiled before
they reach their destinations. Even the
conductors on some of the cars are
complaining, one conductor no has been

years said he intended to resign on ac-
count of the dust. TT is little use,"
said he, Ito try and keep the cars clean.
We must during the warm weather keep
the windows open. 1t is the fault of the
streets and roads. They are not proper
ly sprinkled. 1t ould be very easy
matter to keep down the dust If the
road bed was sufficiently sprinkled."
Sprinkler Makes One Trip.
Some of the roads are not even wetted
once a Jay. On6 OIL the company
sprinklers made one trip down Stony
Island avenue the other day. That was
all the water the street received. The
hot sun dried up the little water that
was on the track and in fifteen minutes
the dust was as thick as ever. Before
the sprinkler reached Stony Island ave-
nue. and Seventy ninth street they ran
short of water but no effort was made
by those who operated the sprinkler to
continue down Stony Island avenue
after the return of the full sprinkler
On the South Chicago Hammond cars
conditions are just as bad, on Sheffield
avenue, and Indiana boulevard the fine
particles of dust sift in the windows

Hammond to South Chicago in the cars
will soon convince the officials of the
company of the service which is handed
out to their patrons VIII are compelled

lpelled to put up with unbearable condi

DIFFICULTIES ASSUME
SERIOUS DIMENSIONS
Contractors and Building
Trades Arrive at No
Settlement Yet.

The labor difficulties between the
Contractors association of Gary and
the members of the building trades
assumed more serious proportions yes
terday, when H B. Smith of the car
penters. said that the unions would no
longer recognize the contractors asso-
citation.
He stated that efforts had been made
to arbitrate matters with the repre-
sentatives of the Contractors associa-
ton but that in each case the con-
tractors had refused to treat with the
representatives of the building trades
after it appeared that they could come
to an agreement.
The business men of Gary yesterday
circulated a petition in which they
asked the Contractors association and
the members of the building trades to
get together and adjust their differ
ences by arbitration.
Mr.. Smith said yesterday that there
are only a few of the laborers out
on strike and the rest have beer
locked out by the contractors, and con
sequently it was up to them to treai
with the men they had locked out.
Mr. Smith said that the carpenter.
and others engaged in the building
trades were all getting work in Eas
Chicago, Indiana Harbor and Ham
mond and that they could stand thu
strain as well as the contractors.
1t. is not known when an adjust
ment will be made. The business mel
of the city may persuade the contend
ing parties to come to an agreement
| but at the present time it seems to b.
exceedingly doubtful that anything cal
| be done.

tical plan of draining this district and
carrying the sewage and surface wa
ter into the drainage canal. If ne
cessary 1T is proposed to issue bonds
and build a canal connecting with the
sanitary district canal, cooperating, if
possible. in every way with the peo-
pie of Chicago in this matter. The
project would not involve a great cost
certainly insignificant in comparison
with the cost of the Chicago drainage
canal, as the cost of excavating a con-
siderable part of the canal would be
slight and as for the rest of it, the
channel is in good part provided, for
Michigan City has grown to be one of
the most commanding points in the
northwestern part of Indiana.
DETAILS OF SCHEME.
Its drainage at present flows into
Lake Michigan. 1t is proposed to ex-
cavate a channel along the shore line
from Michigan City west to Gary.
This would be an ordinary ditch TWEEN
ty-five feet wide, fifteen feet deep. At
Gary it would flow into the Grand
Calumet river through Gary, Indiana
Harbor, East Chicago and Hammond,
to Blue Island where it would connect
with the Calumet-Sag auxiliary canal
of the sanitary district The popula-
ton of the various cities and locali-
| ties enumerated is in the neighbor-
hood of 100, 600 and they are growing
at remarkable rate. This plan would
divert the sewage from the lake to
/ the drainage canal and would afford re-
lief in this district of which these
communities are so much in need.
RAILROADS WILL COOPERATE.
1t is believed that it will not only
meet with the approval of the people
| of northwestern Indiana but will have
| the assistance and cooperation of the
railroads, as this plan provides for the
use of the present bridges and nc
changes in the right of way, and this
| is an important matter in that section
People who are acquainted with affairs
in Indiana it is said, are assured that
the project will meet with favor in
the legislature.
1t is not reasonable that the health
and well-being of the citizens at the
south end of Lake Michigan should
continue to be endangered on account

torial subdivision, thereby deprivins

are eloquent, while its argu-

are forceful and clinching. Ii

BoOras a Leader.

Tony Booras is a leader among his
fellow countrymen in Chicago and is
identified in many reputable business
institutions, both in South Chicago and
throughout the city, among them being
a wholesale commission house on South
Water street. He has made thorough
investigation of the charges against the
youth and has even gone so far as to
take the matter up with the Creek
consul in Chicago. From what could
be ascertained the case may lead to an
investigation in other parts of the city
where alleged peonage is carried on
among the Greek shoe-shining parlors.
The case was continued last Thurs
day in Judge Torrison's court until
next Wednesday when. it seems, some
startling revelations will be made.

came to him with pitiful tale and
among assertions stated that he had
received no compensation for his eight
months work, and that he had not been
provided with sufficient clothes and at
no time received other than his board.
