MANUAL TRAINING FEATURE.
For a number of years the members
of the Hammond board of education
have been ashamed of the fact that
Hammond has been far behind the time
in that 1t has not offered the students
of its high schools an approved course
in industrial work.
Hammond's Importance as an indus
trial center seemed to make it the logi-
cal leader in the matter Of industrial
education. But the school city Of
Hammond has been handicapped for the
lack of funds and Hammond has been
backward in this respect.
The city has grown so rapidly that it
has taken all of the funds at it's dis
posal to build new grade schools in the
outlaying districts. During the past
few years there have been a number of
magnificent structures built over the
city until now, outside Of it's high
school building, there is not another
city in the state that has as fine a lot
OF public school buildings.
PLANS THIS WINTER.
The next step is to provide a high
school that shall be the equal of the
Emerson school at Gary. The school
board is now looking for the location.
The plans will probably be ordered
drawn this winter. The lot will be
purchased in the spring and the work
of building the new school will begin
next summer if there is no hitch In the
plans.
1t is the purpose of the members of
the schol board to look to the question
OF utility first and beauty second. But
the prospects are that when Hammond
new 100000 high school building is
completed that there will not be a city
in the state that can boast Of a better
building.

Hammond is looking forward to the
greatest era of industrial development
in its history. A Chicago lounge COM
pany, which will employ several hum
dred men and will make I'VE carloads
of lounges a day. is practically as
sured for Hammond.
Four other concerns are on the
string. and those who are working
on the deals are confident that they
viii be located in Hammond. Every
manufacturer who comes to this city is
greatly impressed with the wonderful
advantages of Hammond as railroad
center.
New Plants Want Sites.
In fact, if it is possible to secure a
location here they viii come. 1t has
only been few months since the Chi
cago Car & Equipment company located
in Hammond and its plant is now in
the course of construction.
So great is the demand for factory
sites that Gostlin. Meyn & Co. are now
negotiating with the officials of the
National Packing company for the tenn
porary use of the old buildings of the
G. H. Hammond Co. 1t is hoped that

$50 union
men in GARY
Whole Calumet Region Is
Deeply Interested in
Agitation.

The result of the switchmen's strike
in st. Paul, which may terminate in
one of the biggest railroad strikes in
the country, is causing much concern
in Gary, as today there is a restless
feeling among the Gary, Hammond
and East Chicago local Brotherhoods.
There are, it is understood, over
80 members of the switchmen's and
trainmens unions in Gary. Tonight
q meeting of the Local Brotherhood
OF Railway Trainmen will be called
in the Knights of Columbus hall to
discuss the situation and see just
what stand they will take in the
strike.
There are two distinct unions in
Gary. the Brotherhood of Railway
Switchmen and the Brotherhood Of
Railway Trainmen. The latter is in a
delimina over the pending strike.
MUST WAIT FOR NOTICE.
II the switchmen walk out the train
men have no right to follow them or
take any part IN the strike until they
receive notice from the grand lodge.
II they do not sympathise with the
swttchmen. they will oe recognized as
'-scabs"
II the strike becomes OF a serious
nature throughout the United States 1t
will result in a tie-up in the Kirk
yards. the largest railroad yards in the
world, and will have a serious effect on
the handling of freight traflc OF the
Indiana Steel company.
CHICAGO MEN RESTLESS.
In Chicago considerable restlessnesS
was displayed yesterday by switchmen
emtioyed in the terminals OF the TWEEN
ty-one railroads entering Chicago. The
agitation principally came from mem
hers of the Switchmen'a union of North
America. which is the organization on
strike against the railroads entering
st. Paul and Minneapolis.
While the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen controls a majority of the
Chicago switchmen the agitation of the
members of the Swftchmen's union as
the result of the strike in the north
west may have the effect of spreading
the strike TO Chicago.
Word was passed around quietly
among the switchmen during the day
to be ready for any emergency. Of
icers of the trainmen fear an efrort
may be made on the part of the mem
bers of the rival organization to STAN
pede the terminals by going out in &
body and dragging the brotherhood
men with them.
There has been bad blood between
the two organizations for years anC
the present situation may cause al
open rupture. The difference in thu
wage demands of the two unions alst
is the cause of friction. the brotherhood
switchmen's demand being for a rails
of cents an hour while the rival IN
ion demands cents.
BROTHERHOOD TO MEET.
A meeting of the general grievance
committee Of the trainmen will be helc
tomorrow for the purpose of tak0ag &C
tion relative to the answer of the rail
road officials to the demand for in
creased wages. A number of the road
have given their answers and the re
mainder will reply today or tomor
row.
The general committee is made up o
one member representing the employee

GERMAN DISCOUNT RATE UP
IMPERIAL BANK MAY ADVANCE
IT TO 4 PER CENT.
Due to Activity in Stock Speculation
and Heavy Investment in
Foreign Securities.

BERLIN, September 16.-It is probable
that the rate of the discount of the I'm
perial Bank of Germany will be ad-
vanced to per cent tomorrow. The pri-
vate rate Of discount has been rising
full l per cent higher than August 81
1t is also now within Y per cent of the
rate of the Imperial Bank.
This rise is due chiefly to the activity
in speculation on the stock exchanges,
which shows a greater volume than at
any time since the fall of 1905. Another
cause Of this changed situation on the
money market is the heavy investment
of German money In foreign securities
The stamp tax returns show that the
imports of such securities into Germany
during the past five months are more
than six times greater than for the cor
responding period of 1905 The position
of the Imperial Bank also has developed
less favorably, for some weeks past, than
n1o 1905 s. o-d For OF example; the bank lost
weeks ended September I. as compared
with a gain of about s., 10000 for the
corresponding period Of 1905
The Imperial Bank and to a greater
degree the open market are now being
drawn upon for gold to export to Rus
STA. and German bankers are buying
gold in London and Paris for export to
st. Petersburg and other Russian points
Exchange is at a higher, level than at
any time since the Russo-Japanese war.
owing in large measure to the big Rus
sian crops and preparations for The ex-
pected heavy exports of Russian grain.
Requirements of Imperial Treasury.
Another reason for the pressure on the
Imperial Bank is the heavy requirements
of the imperial treasury, which now
owes the bank 236.OOO,OOO marks (about
S59.OOO.OO0 upon treasury bills. In view
of the heavy requirements of the stock
exchange in addition to the ordinary
needs of trade, interest payments, ETC.
the demands upon the bank at the end
Of the quarter are expected to be
enormous.
For these reasons 1t is understood that
the Imperial Bank is unwilling to attempt
to stand the pressure at the end of the
month without higher rate of discount
to protect 1t.
