Indiana Harbor. Ind, July IT. - The
difficulty encountered by the Great
Lakes Dredge and Dock company in
the work of driving sheet oiIing for
the protection of the bascule bridge
abuttments near the entrance to the
canal has finally been overcome. When
the railroad companies were putting in
these concrete abuttments they built
Golfer dams to keep the water out
while the work was being done, using
great many cement bags for the pur-
pose, number of these being partly
filled with cement. This cement set and
the bags and contents became as hard
as rock, so that it was almost impos-
sible to drive the piling through. Mar
tin Hausler Jr., who is in charge of the
dredge company's work at this end Of
the lake, was here during the week and
started a force OF men at work remov-
ing the obstruction. This, it is believ-
ed, has now been accomplished and the
work of driving the piling will proceed
without further delay. AS soon as the

THE CITY
Race Is All Off.

1t is understood that the proposed
race between Irving Bets stoddard-

will probably never be/held. 1t is IN
derstood that the principals are unable
to come to terms and that it is even
useless for them to negotiate
The only regrettable thing about the
affair is the fact that after the public
appetite for race has been whetted
up to the proper point, it will not be
satisfied.
The much-talked of race will prob
ably never be run. At least that it

the conference called last week by the
owners of the Republic mills between
the latter and the Amalgamated Asso-
citation, returned from P1ttsburg yes
terday with the information that the
wage scale of last year had been adopt
ed and the entire system of the Re-
public mills would resume operations
on Monday. That is to say, such of the
mills as We're in a condition physically
to open up.
The scale is the same as that for
which the Anal gamated Association
and the Western Bar Iron association
signed up at the conference held a fort
night ago at Cambridge Springs, and
the agreement was arrived at without
opposition on either side.
Local Plant Overhaul q,
The local plant of the Repu SIC sys-

HAMMOND 4
GREAT MARKET
Shoppers Flock to the City;
Big Run at E. G. Minas
Store.

That Hammond is the greatest shop
ping center in the Calumet region is
evidenced by the immense crowds that
thronged to this city on Saturday. The
city is head and shoulders above its
sister cities in this respect. The rea-
son for this is to be found In the alert
ness of its local merchants in adver-
Using their bargains.
The E. c. Minas' store reports that it's
annual July clearing sale is a record
breaker The big store was packed
with shoppers on Saturday and the
crowd there today has every appearance
of Saturday crowd Not only is it
thronged with local people. but other
nearby cities and the countryside is
sending bargain hunters to the store.

pleaded for tarin laws which would
protect the American laborer.
What hypocrisy!
This is the trust which appeals to
the American people. the American
lawmakers. the American congress for
protection for the American working
man.
With those pleas still ringing in the
ears of the country, the steel trust ar
rogantly kicks the American out of its
mills
1T insolently announces through the
public press that it will give prefer
ment to Syrians, Poles and Rouman-
ians in filing the vacancies in its plant
ITO Newcastle and those other towns
where American workmen have manned
the mills a foreign horde is invited
Look upon Schoenville, the Hunk
eyville" of the Pressed Steel Car COM
pany, and you can see what the steel
trust would make of those thriving
American towns built around its mills
and furnaces.
TT would drive the Americans from
those towns. It would fill its mills with
foreign men who can be reduced to the
state of animals and converted into
beasts of burden.
THE steel trust is right in one as
sumption. It could never reduce Amer
lean men to the state in which the
employees of the Pressed Steel Car COM
pany are found in Schoenville
The American is no slave. Nor can
he be purchased. body and sole, for
10 or IL cents an hour. He will not
stand idle and see his wife and children
grovel in poverty and beg for the
crumbs which fall from the employers

be dubbed and driven and fed with
the slop and swill their pitiful wages
will purchase.
TN Washington there sits a con-
gress, the representatives of the Amer
lean people. In the White House there
is man. William H. Taft. in whom
Americans have placed their trust and
confidence.
If these statesmen have ears let
them hear the insulting words the steel
trust splits into the face of the Ameri-
can workingman.
Let those men in whose hands the
people have placed the destiny of their
fair land know that this infant they
coddle and nourish is a hydra headed
monster, spewing words of insolence
upon Americans and the brain and
