Washington. d. c.. May 2o.-Several
hundred thousand employees of the steel
mills of the country will be directly
affected by an investigation into the
conditions under which they work.
which. which will be made by Charles
p. Neill, United States commissioner of
labor.
The investigation as ordered unan-
imously by the United States senate
yesterday, at the instance Of Senator
Borah of Idaho. Astounded by the sit
uation of the Bethlehem steel en-
ployes in pennsylvania, as reported by
DR. Nei1l a few days ago. Senator Borah
determined to intrust that official with
an inquiry into the mills in Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio. and other parts of the
United States.
A Big Investigation.
The extent of the Investigation the
commissioner must make will be ap-
preciated when it is known that there
are more than 500 iron and steel estab-
lishments in the country, distributed
among 81 states. AS many of these
concerns are small and employ onIv a
few hundred men each Commissioner
Nef1l does not believe it will be neces-
sary to examine into conditions in
more than 100 plants. The most i'm
pOTtdnt OF lneSe OF course Is the United
States Steel corporation. which is a
combination Of ten constituent or sub
salary companies, as follows:
1t. C -regie Steel
The federal Steel ompan
National Tube company.
American Bridge
Lake Superior Consolidated mines.
American Steel and Wire company
National Steel company.
American Steel Hook
American Tfnplate
American Sheet Steel
Trust Has 22s,OOO Employees.
The united States steel corporation
has in its employ 22s,0o0 men, women
and children. Recently the American
Federation of Labor presented a brief
to the president urging governmental
prosecution of the steel corporation
under the terms of the antitrust law.
1t which it discussed the economic and
sociological phases of the industry at
length.

MAYOR BECKER
VISITS GARY

This morning two OF the great tri-
umvirate of political powers of the
democratic party in this region sat to-
gether on the bench of the municipal
court of Gary. this time passing judg-
ment upon the guilt or innocence of the
dozen or so men brought before them
charged with various misdemeanors.
The two political eaders who held
court in joint session this morning were
Mayor Knots of Gary and Mayor Beck
err of Hammond. They sat together for
some time during the trial of the cases
and seemed to enjoy themselves i'm
mensely. The legal knowledge of May
or Becker was used in conjunction
with the practical knowledge on the
bench which has been acquired by May
or Knots.
What other sessions the two mayors
might have had which were less pub
lie in character. has not yet been
brought to light by THE TIMES reporter.
who will. however. venture to say that
something of that character actually
did occur. This belief is strengthened
by the fact that a democratic county
convention Is to be held in this city
shortly and several things will have to
be understood.

dE
Hobart, Ind, May 20.-The body of a
dead man, apparently about s5 to 40
years old, is being held here at Wild's
morgue for Identification.
The body of the unknown man was
found last week on the railroad tracks
in the Kirk yards. A wound on the
arm of the dead might have been the
cause of his bleeding to death. There
are no other indications of a violent
death. and the wound itself with prop
er care would not have leen fatal.
The BODY was round by a train crew,
who being in a hurry. because they
were being followed by another train,
took the body along to Miller and from
there it was removed to Wiid's morgue.
Following is a description of the dead
man:
Heighth s feet, Az inches.
Weight $50 pounds.
Color of hair brown.
Color of eyes brown.
Nationality, apparently Irish.
Age 35 and 40 years.

a report as to conditions existing in
his district or county. While there
were a few spots in the state where
things were not in good shape, 1t was
the general report that the party is in
good condition as a general PROPOSE
ton. Things are much better now than
they were three months ago. As one
man said, the party was then passing
through the tail of a comet, and no one
could tell just what the result was
going to be, but now the comets tail
has passed and disappeared, and the
party has emerged HI damage
From now on, he said. there will be a
