WILL MAKE DEMAND
FOR LINE CONSTRUCTION.

East Chicago, Sept 3.-(SpeciaI-A
demand will be made of the c., L. S.
& S. B. railway in the near future to
build the long promised line between
East Chicago and the Grasselli Chemi-
cal works. A petition now being cir
culated by Charles Nassau of this city,
has already been signed by 100 citizens
and will be presented to the council
at its next meeting. It demands their
immediate action in the matter and
there is little doubt that the company,
in is effort to secure further civic con-
cessions will be willing to build this
half-mile spur before winter.
There are about 200 residents of East
Chicago working at Grasselli for the
chemical works and the United States
Metals Refining company. 1t is neces-
sary for these men to walk three miles
to East Chicago, using a sandy road.
If a street car service were instituted,
for seven certain hours of the day, the
ride to the city would occupy not more
than five minutes.

The trouble between the Contractors

which has been fomenting of late. is
stun far from being settled. There
VIII be conference this afternoon at
which members of the Contractors as
ISOLATION will be present and will see
II 1t is possible to reach an agree
ment with the men.
The arbitration board which was
to hear the evidence from both sides
yesterday afternoon, failed to accom-
pllsh thing, and the matter is as
much in the air as ever. 1t is under
stood that six of the contractors have
decided to hire nothing but nonunion
men, and the labor leaders claim that
eight of the unions will ignore the
association and hire union labor.
There are a large number of men
out and the situation was not very
much improved at the last report. 1t
is said that the trouble started when
the contractors, recognizing the fact
that some of the men were very valu-
able, paid them 80 cents an hour The
rest of the men demanded as much
and deny the right of the contractors
to recognize faithful service by in
creased pay and declare that the poor
men on the job shall receive as much
as the men who try to do their work
well.

achieved considerable noteriety when
his dog licked the sugar off from some
of his buns and he was arrested for
the violation of the pure food law, was
araigned before Judge Huber in Gary
yesterday, pleaded guilty and was
5000.
Max Hirsch had several articles in
the papers over the county in which
he denied that his dog had been guilty
of such incorporates and denounced
the action of THE TIMES and other pa
pers in printing stories about the case.
Yesterday he turned right around
and pleaded guilty to the charge which
he had so vehemently denied a few days
ago. AS the matter stands now Max
Hirsch was found guilty of allowing
a dog lick the sugar from his buns
and besides losing the sugar the little
carlessness will cost him nearly $21.
