STANDARD
STRIKE MAY
Be SETTLED
Negotiations for Settlement
Of Strike Said to Be Under
Way and Tentative Agree
ment With III. e. Granger
as Mediator Is Submitted.

It is understood that as result of
negotiations that have been going on
between Superintendent Fl. B. Douglas
of the Standard Steel Car company and
representative of the strikers. the
strike may be ended in the near fu-
ture.
The negotiations are said to have
been started by H. E. Granger of Ham
mond. 1t is understood that Granger
took the matter up with President w.
G. Paxton Of the Hammond Business
Mems association, and after a confer
ence with him he decided to see what
he could do as a mediator.
He was introduced to Douglas by a
neighbor of the superintendent, and a
long conference followed. The next
step was to secure from the strikers a
statement Of their demands.
These he took back to Mr. Douglas
and some of them were acceded to-
while others were denied. After the
demands had been modified by both
parties 1t is said that tentative agree
ment was finally reached which awaits
the final action Of Mr.. Douglas ana the
representatives OF the strikers this art
ernoon.

no one there knows OF any negotiations
looking to a settlement of the strike
In fact, one of the officials of the
company said that If there was move-
ment on foot to settle the strike it must
have started after 1890 this morning.
THE TIMES has been able to secure
what is alleged to be the tentative
agreement for the settlement of the
strike. The agreement is the one. which,
1t is said, was to have been brought
about through the mediation OF Mr.
Granger.
Mr.. Granger claims that superin-
tendent Douglas denies that an effort
was ever made to charge the back rent
of former tenants to the present ten
ants and consequently he agrees to the
second paragraph of the proposition for
settlement.
Must Not Ask Bribes.
It Is said that he also readily agreed
that the alleged practice of foremen in
demanding bribes from the workingmen
must be stopped. The mention. in the
seventh paragraph. of short changing
workingmen will result in an investiga-
ti6n to see If the men are being de-
frauded by any Of the clerks.
The rest of the agreement speaks for
itself, and Is printed in connection with
this article.
The situation at the Standard Steel
Car plant this morning was very quiet.
There was violence of any kind, and
It Is understood that the strikers have
become convinced that there is no use
of carrying the strike any farther.
There are between sixty and seventy
police officers and deputies on the
scene, and the strikers see the useless
ness of further opposition to the au-
thorities. Sheriff Grant is In charge

You. who wear glasses, have you ever
engaged in busy search for them and

that they were safe on your nose?
If you have you may appreciate the
amusement of number of passengers.
among them Hammond people, on a
Chicago suburban train yesterday
morning. Dave Lovegren. manager Of
the Lion store grocery department, was
the man who was busy looking for his
glasses.
l. J. Sutton tells the story:
we were nearing Chicago and no.
tfced that Mr.. Lovegren seemed worried
about something. He left his seat and
looked up and down the aisle and un-
der the seats. He had evidently lost
something. i asked what he was look
ing for, and he informed me that he
had dropped his glasses and that he
could not find them could hardly
believe my eyes and ears, for there he
was looking very earnestly for his
glasses
We'll he replied. and the express
sion on his face told the rest, when ]
informed him as gently as I could that
he was wearing his glasses with very
much grace"

Cheap Skate From Chicago
Comes OUT to Ha7llnlunus
and Then Goes Back to
Chicago to Circulate a
Vicious Lot of Lies.

A stolen automobile belonging to
James B. Mallers of Chicago was To-
Gated yesterday afternoon in Ham
age rooms maintained by Martin Linz,
Giles Warner and Tom Lavene at 541
Kane avenue. A loan of six hundred
dollars had been extended by Martin
Linz to a man named Burk, who
brought the machine out from Chi
cago on Dec. Q. Linz was an innocent
bailee. having had no idea that the ma
chine was stolen property. Mr.. Linz
himself has ben out of the city for
some time, but Messrs. I.avene and
Warner turned the machine over
promptly when they learned that 1t
was stolen.
The machine itself was practically a
new Columbia 1910 model, costing
originally about $4,000.
1t was stolen on the night of Dec. 20
while standing in front of the Congress
hotel In Chicago. 1t was brought out
directly to the Hammond garage and
left there for three days. When the
man who had brought it out returned
for it, c. J. Simmons. the proprietor
of the garage, had no hesitancy in
turning 1t over. From here the ma :
chine was taken to the storage rooms
| on Kane avenue. where 5000 loan
was asked for it and received.

At the last meeting of the associa-
tion one committee, consisting of Peter

appointed to report on the advisabilfty
of granting the franchise to the Gary
& Interurban line, and the second COM
mittee, consisting of DIR. William D.
Weis and Attorney L. L. Bomberger.
were appointed to report on the ad-
visibility of granting the franchise to
the Hammond. Whiting & East Chica-
go.
1t. Is said that these Investigations
will lead to the development of some
interesting arguments on both sides of
the question. For instance, some of
the arguments that are advanced SO
far are interesting.
What Is Required.
l. The Gary & Interurban line should
| be given the franchise, because 1t will
create competition for the traffic be-
tween the cities of Hammond and East
Chicago and will force both lines to
provide quick. frequent service and to
get the best rolling stock
q The Hammond, Whiting & East
| Chicago line should be granted the
| franchise for the reason that 1t would
| provide a better route for this line
| to East Chicago and more people will
4 benefit, because this line already has
| control of the Hammond city service.
| g. The Hammond, Whiting s. East
| Chicago line should not be granted this
| franchise until 1t opens its Hammond
| loop to all incoming interurbans at the
cost Of maintenance. establishes a
more frequent service on its East Chi
i cago-Standard district line, guarantees
to pay its proportionate share of the
i cost of building the Holman street
/ bridge and agrees to universal trans
fers with all incoming interurbans
4. Neither company should be grant
ed this franchise until 1t agrees to
build within ninety days and to have its
line in operation within six months.
/ These are some of the requirements
Il that going to be recommended by
the Hammond Business Mems associa-
i ton committees and the discussion o1
this matter is sure to be one of the
Il interesting features of the next meeting
!, of the association.

Stomach Dead
Man Still Lives

People who suffer from sour stom
ach, fermentation OF food, distress
after eating and indigestion, and seek
relief in large chunks of artificial di
gestors, are killing their stomachs by
inaction just as surely as the victim
OF morphine is deadening and injur
ing beyond repair every nerve in his
body.
What the stomach of every sufferer
from Indigestion needs is a good pre-
scription that will build up his stom
ach, put strength, energy and elastic
ity into 1t, and make it sturdy enough
to digest a hearty meal without arti
ficial aid.
The best prescription for indigestion
ever written is sold by druggists ev
erywhere and by l.. n. Fihe, and il
rigidly guaranteed to build up the
stomach and cure indigestion, or mon
ey back.
This prescription is named Mi-o-na
and is sold in small tablet form in
large boxes, for only so cents. Re
member the name, Mona stomach
tablets. They never fail. They con
tain ingredients that give quick relief
(other than strong digesters), blu,
they are compounded for the purpose
OF making the stomach strong and en-
ergetic enough to do its work without
the aid of harmful drugs.
