ITS IN AGAIN OUT
-F|NNERAN"
President of Gary Electri-
clans HA His Own
Troubles.
MEN CALLED OFF AGAIN
Kelly-Dee Company Hires Reid-Mur-
ply Men in Absence of
Regulars.
In again. out again-Finneran. :"

In again, out again-Finneran.
This is the term jocuIarly applied to
Business Agent Finneran of the Elec--
trical union in Gary. whose men have
been continually laid Off and put back
to work again the recent controversy
with the electrical contractors. Yes
terday the fifteen men employed in
Gary walked out again.
The trouble arose yesterday because
of the hiring by the KeIly-Dee com
pany of several new men who were
members of the Reid Murphy union
and who are regarded as outlaws by the
rival organization. ]. B. Kelly Of the
latter company stated yesterday that
he only employed these men because he
needed the workmen and could not
secure any more OF the regular union
men. Most of the local electricians
have stoutly opposed the Reid Murphy
organization throughout, and now they
absolutely refuse to work with them.
Looks Like Strike for Every Clause,
Just when the contending factions in
the trouble seems to be satisfactorily
settled. some fresh wound is made and
eAAO AhCtA a. SoAACA OAA again Until lud-
difficulty is settled. 1t seems that in
| stead of having a general understand
ing between the two parties on all the
| working rules, the men are put back
to work after each separate clause is
| agreed upon. and the men are called of
again when the next question arises
Another meeting is to be called to-
day and it is hoped that the matter ON
| be settled permanently.

Son Of J. n. Titus

We clip the following from the Wich-
tia Beacon of May Both. The j. C.
Titus which it mentions is a son of
the late j. N. Titus and was here
closing up his fathers business a cou-
pie of months ago:
within ten days another big lum-
Der concern, just organized; will open
for business in Wichita with capital
stock to start with $4,000
1.-THE new firm is known as the
Shearer & Titus Lumber and Land
company and their Wichita yards will
be located between Douglass avenue
and First street on Washington ave-
nue..
1.-THE firm is composed of Osborne
Shearer, of Oklahoma, and J. c. Titus
of Ohio. Both are old experienced
lumbermen now having extensive in
terests in that line throughout Okla
homa. Wichita will hereafter be head
quarters for the company, and as re-
quirements demand the capital and
the stocks of every kind of lumber and
building material will be increased.
Both gentlemen have bought property
in this city and will move their fami-
lies here to make this their perma-
l1ent home.
'"They have now on the tracks fifteen
cars of lumber which is being unload
ed at the new yards, and all the entire
stock has been bought and what has
not already arrived is in transit from
mills and forests

Mrs. Walter Jackson and child
rem met with runaway while re-
turning home from town Monday
afternoon. Going down a hill
near J. B. Fairley's home few
miles north, the harness became
partially disconnected from the

were hurt. The injured child was
dragged quite a distance in the
buggy top. DR.. Coleman was call
ed but found no broken bones.
Both Mrs. Jackson and the child
were very severely bruised but
their condition is not thought to
be serious. Mrs. Jackson was rem.

In Appreciation

By unanimous vote, the men,
bers of Eldred Post, G. A. R. of
this city, take this opportunity to
heartily thank the Sunday schools,
the fraternal orders, the band and
all individuals who assisted in
Memorial services on Saturday and
Sunday, including the march to
the cemetery, the decorations and
the different exercises and services
held both days. The large crowds
which attended speak more strong
ly than words, of the respect the
public has for the ex- veterans, and
the Grand Army desires to make it
known that these expressions of es-
TEEN are very highly appreciated.

Is This You.

Here is little editorial which we
clipped from an exchange that will hit
somebody in most every town. If it
does, take little time to think the
matter over and then make a resolu-
ton that it will never hit you again:
Are you living in town because you
want to have the advantages of town
life, or have you made up your mind
to Just live in town till it is time to
dieP In other words did you come to
town to live or did you come to dieP
III you came TO town to make a home
in which you are proud to live, then
you are surely interested in making
the town an up-to-date place, one that
has all the advantages that can be had.
Improvements and betterments only
come by the united efforts of all the
people. 1t is not good citizenship to
be willing to take advantage of the
progress, activity and work of others
without each individual doing their
share. No man should be placed in a
position of sponging from others. In
public life the man who merely pays
his taxes because he has to, lacks a
whole lot of doing his full share to
make the place all that is desired in a
home. If you have some plan that
viii make it more pleasant for your
self and your neighbors, make your
plan known II Won know of n hnSi.
ness that can be secured that will add
to the pay roll of the place and in
grease its productiyeness give your aid
to securing the industry. Be part
of the live citizens of the town; don't
be a part that is waiting to add to the
activity of the cemetery"
