STREET GAR BARNS
TO Be ABANDONED
South Chicago Landmark to
be Vacated in Favor of
Yellow Line.
EMPLOYEES ARE DISPLEAsEO
Superintendent Sloan Says Charge is
Made to Benefit the Pubic and
the Company.

The news was announced yesterday
trough street car circles that the local
street car barns at Ninety fourth street
and Ewing avenue would be abandoned
and the cars would be run out direct
from the Calumet Electric company
barns at Burnside.
This announcement created quite
little Juror in the street car circles and
the men are up in arms at the transfer
The reason assigned for moving the
headquarters of the company is that
the Calumet Electric barns are much
larger than the South Chicago City rail-
way company's and are more adequate
for the handling of cars.
The old barn on the East Side will
be retained as a power house to furnish
power for the cars coming and going
to Hammond and East Chicago, but the
Offices and other departments will be
moved.
The street car men say that such
move will be of a great disadvantage
to them as it means they will get to
their homes later in the evening and
will have to get up earlier in the morn
ing than heretofore The majority of
the men who are employed as con-
ductors and motormen have signified

be in close connection with their work
While this will not affect the men who
live in South Chicago it will hit the
employees at Hammond and East Chi
cago pretty hard, owing to the way it
will Inconvenience them
Speaking of the matter yesterday
Mr.. Sloan superintendent of the Cal
umet Electric company. said. Yes. it is
a fact that the cars will be run out of
the Burnside barns and I think that
this will in no small measure aid in
getting the cars out on better time IS
we'll as furnishing the people with bet
ter transportation facilities, the cars
will be gradually transferred to the
Burnside barns and it will take some
time before all are moved, however,
think that the whole work can be ac-
compnshed within three weeks, once
that we are started. The Burnside
barns are nearly three times as large
as the barns here and they will furnish
more spacious quarters for the cars as
well as keeping the head offices of the
company intact at one point
Undoubtedly this will be a good move
for the company and will be better for
the travelling public but the employees
say that they are the ones that VIII

local barns to the Burnside barns will
be started within few days.

INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY
PARTIALLY RESUMED
South Chicagos Plants Are
Making Extensive
Repairs.
STEEL WORKERS HOPEFUL
Rail Orders Coming in at Remark
able Rate-Merchants Report
an Increase of Business.

That the different industries in South
Chicago and the adjacent territory are
picking up, is being shown by the fact
that the different concerns are putting
men back to work and the merchants
are beginning to report larger sales
than heretofore.
The Wisconsin Steel company has
announced their intentions of putting
$50 men to work at their plant in South
Deering next Monday morning and
they will be followed by $50 more the
first of June, at which time it is ex-
pected that their new blast furnace
will be ready for blowing in" in other
words within the next two weeks 800
men will be put on by the Wisconsin
company at their local plant.
Large gangs have been working all
week, making repairs on the dofferent
machines through the plant and every
thing is in ship shape for the men
when they are started to work.
At the Chicago Ship building COM
pany's works on the East Side, every
thing is hustle and in the neighbor-
hood of 200 men are putting the finish
ing touches to the J. w. Weeks, 1000
ton boat owned by the Gilchrist Trans
portauion company which will be
locked the first of next week. Dur
ing the time she has been in dock
200 men have been working upon her
huge frame and upon the receipt OF
telegram from her owners. the work
will be rushed through with all dis
patch possible.
With the docking of the J. L. Weeks
next week, only fifty men will be re-
tanned in the ship yards, this lay-on
|
until the boats begin to come in fol
their yearly repair.
In spite of the hard times that have
prevailed through the country. Mr.
Smith, the superintendent of the shiI
yards, is very enthusiastic over tn,
record made by the company this year
as thousands of dollars have been pait
in the local concern for repair worl
done during the season.
Conditions remain about the sam
at the Illinois Steel company's work
no new departments being opened III
| and no old ones shutting down. Il
all there is about 5000 men employs
through the various departments a

for two or three hundred more bein;
put on during the course of the mex
few days.
Rail orders are coming in at a re
markable rate and the officials sa
there is every reason to believe tina

will soon pass over.
The Federal Furnace company ha
just about finished their new furnac
and the prospects look good for sew
eral men to be put to work during tn

ARMY TO OPEN POSTS
American Salvatio nists Sc
riously Considering
This Region.
Especial to The Time..)

Whiting, May 21.-Lieutenant Geo
c. zwiezel of the American Salvation
army, was in Whiting yesterday COL
lecting funds for the purpose of as
sisting in the slum work in which the
organization is engaged.
The American Salvation army is not
connected with the Salvation army or
the Volunteers of America. In 1882
Thomas Moore. who was one of the
officers of the Salvation army, with
drew, owing to his disagreement with
other officers in regard to their col
lecting funds in America and using it
to assist in carrying on their work
with England. He then organized the
American Salvation army, and in this
he carried out his idea, that the money
collected in America should be used
only in America.
The sum asked for by Mr.. Zwiebel
is one cent, but people who realize the
good which is done by organizations OF
this kind often give more.
The representative in speaking oil
the army's work. said meeting is now
being held in Washington which vii
cause many changes in the work after
Saturday. One of the new changes ex.
pected is that several representative.
will be placed in charge of the Calume
district and that post will be starte,
in either Hammond or Whiting, and ;
penny lunch room is also being con
sidered.
If this step Is taken it will undaubt
edly prove a boom to the poor in thi
locality.

EVENT MARKS A new ERA.
Cars Begin on Regular Fifteen
Minute Schedule to City
Limits Today.

After months of waiting, street cars
are at last running Broadway I'm
Gary. The event was important one
in the history of the city and men,
women and children turned out to see
the first street cars I'm the new steel
city.
In a way the running of the cars
marked the beginning of a new era in
the growth fthis mushroom city. 1t
meant the end of abomniabIe trans
pOrtation facilities and the beginning
of an era of metropOlitanism.. $3.50.
1t is a far call from the saddle horse,
which was the only means of trans
portation through the sand two years
ago. to the electric street car of to-
day and nothing indicates the rapid
progress of the city as we'll
The first car was started from the
car barns at 2:15 p. m. The cars
wer etaken up and down Broadway
from the power house across the Penn
sylvania tracks to the Lake Shore
tracks in the north end of town.
The horses were frightened at the
| unusual sight and the natives them
selves seemed hardly able to realize
that their dreams had come true. The
crews on the cars were, Robert Law
and A. l. Parker, conductors, and Su-
perintendent of Construction c. F. Ed

LIGHT MATTER GAME UP
Electric Light Company at
Gary Can't Put up Per
manent Lights.

The town board of Gary held a spe-
cial meeting for the purpose of fixing
the special assessment roll for the
Broadway improvement. The matter
of the lighting of Broadway came up
again and was thrashed out by K. x.
Knapp, representing the Gary, Heat,
Water and Light company, and Lem
uel barrow, representing the Gary &
Interurban company.
The difficulty arose over the refusal
of the Gary Heat, Water and Light
company, which is a United States
Steel company subsidiary concern. to
treat with the Gary & Interurban COM
pany, which secured the franchise in
the streets of Gary against the wishes
of the steel company officials.
The Gary Heat, Water and Light
company has been unable to put up any
permanent lights in Gary for the rea-
son that it will not be allowed to erect
poles on that street. This makes it
necessary for the company to come to
some sort of an agreement with the
Gary and Interurban company for the
use of its poles.
Light Co. Not Responsible.
1t was suggested that in view of the
fact that the Gary Heat Water and
Light company would not deal with the
Gary & Interurban company directly
that an arrangement could be made
by which the city of Gary could be the
intermediary and the contract could be
made through it.
Mr.. barrow opposed this plan be.
cause he said there would be no wa,
of holding the Gary Heat. Water ant
Light company responsible for damage:
which might result from the stringine
| of wires and lights on it's poles,
The matter was discussed for som,
time and was finally dropped until i
can be taken up at another meeting o
! the town board.
