HAMMOND ATHLETIC CLUB
MEN HAD FINE TINE

The Hammond Athletic club stag,
given last night to the members and
their friends, was a big success. Two
hundred lovers OF athletics availed
themselves of the clubs hospitality and
spent delightful evening. Not a min
ute was permitted to drag for a we'll
arranged program was carried out.
Pipes were given away as souvenirs
and the supply of tobacco was plenti-
full.
The program was opened with a bas-
ket ball game between the Gazooks of
the H. A. A. and a picked team. The
score AZ to SO in favor of the
Gazooks. This was followed by a
monologue performance by James Carr.

himself as a comedian.
Instrumental numbers by Charles
Rohde and number of vocal selections
by the Garden City quartet formed a
pleasant diversion from the athletic
program.

MANUFACTURERS To ADVOCATE
MANY IMPORTANT MEASURES

been issued to all members of the as
ISOLATION:
1T was not possible for this asso-
citation to prevent the advance to In
diana points, owing to the fact that
conditions surrounding the entire stu
atom were peculiar, and also the fact
that the Indiana Railroad Commission
had no power to act until after the
rate became effective. Two courses
are now open. We can push our petit
mission, or we can let the matter rest
temporarily and increase the powers
of the commission by legislation en-
actment during the coming session, so
that the matter of Indiana rates can
be handled effectively and such relief
as are entitled to secure.
Along the line Of the employers liza
bility and the workman's compensation
law spoken of above, there is another
plan which is under consideration by
some of the manufacturers of Indiana
and that is a mutual insurance scheme
under the direction and Jurisdiction OF
teh tsate. Under this plan every en-
ployed man would pay in a small as
, sessment of his wages each week OF
I -
fund to be handled by the state. These
payments would be graded according
to the wages earned. The employer
also would pay in a certain amount
which would also go into the same
fund. Then, when a workman met
with an accident he would be paid out
of this fund a stipulated amount which
would be fixed by law, thus doing away
| with damages suits in court. 1t is sai5
| that a law of this kind is in effect in
some of the European countries, ant
that it works well. Those who are
| backing it here declare that it would bt
a much better plan and would result il

cause under that system there would b,
nothing for the ambulance chasing
lawyers to gobble up One of the bad
features of the present system of col
lecting damages for personal injuries
by suits in court is that a large per
cent of the damages recovered go t,

TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis. Ind, Dec. 10.<when the
Indiana manufacturers and shippers
association meets at the Denison hotel
on December 20 for its annual confer
ence a program of sweeping measures
affecting enormous interests will be
considered, including bills which the
association VIII present and favor in
the legislature. The association has
several hundred members including
most OF the large manufacturers from
all parts of the state the manufacture
from all parts of the state. the
manufacturers of indianapolis, Fort
Wayne, Hammond. South Bend La
Porte, Michigan City and many of the
other cities being among the mem
bers.
The manufacturers have expressed a
determination to go after the express
companies, which, they are deriving
profits of twice and three times the cost
of transporting goods. This, they de-
clare. is a much higher percentage of
profit than the railroads derive. The
railroad commission of Indiana made
an order against high express rates, but
IL could not be enforced.
The association will favor an en-
p1oyers liability bill which will con-
tain most of the features of the New
York workmans compensation act
which fixes rigid scae of renumera-
ton for accidents which the workman
may accept without recourse to the
courts. This does away with endless
litigation, although the workman has
the privilege of suing. 1t is a COM
promise measure.
A special hope of the shippers is for
q favorable decision from the Supreme
Court on the "Carmack amendment,
OF the railroad law SO that the initial
carrier will be responsible for claims
The object of this is to prevent the
lodging of responsibility between
roads.
The strengthening of the Indiana
Railroad Commission will be another
point In view with a removal of the
two year Limitation on orders empower
ing the commission to make rates OF
suspend rates during investigation and
allowing the shipper a refund wher
overcharged by misquoted rates are
special features of the bill to be In
troduced.
Concerning the recent advance ir
coal rates the following bulletin has

MICHIGAN EXPECTS
TO MEET NEBRASKA

Ann Arbor Mich, Dec. 10.-Athletic
Director Bartelme doesn't take much
stock in the story that Nebraska will
be unable to meet Michigan in athlet-
les because of an extension of a boy
colt against Michigan. He laughed
when he read the Lincoln story to the
effect that fear of loss of relations with
Minnesota and Iowa might induce the
cornhuskers to meet Michigan.
think the story is pure bunk. =
said Mr.. Bartelme. Il don't think it
has any foundation at all"
In case Michigan fails to make
peace with the conference, a game with
Nebraska to replace either the Notre
Dame or the Minnesota game. seems
probable. Even if the Wolverines take
on Cornell or some other eastern in
stitution, there still will be a vacancy,
as both Minnesota and Notre Dame Of
this years schedule will be missing
and some western Institution logically
Will be booked In that case Nebraska
looks like the choice.

the aid or interference of lawyer be-
cause the money would go where 1T was
most needed.
Whether this plan will make much
progress before the legislature is a
question. There is a disposition among
some of the manufacturers and EN-
ployers to ask the Legislature to not
pass any permanent law at the comm g
session, but the appointment of com :
mission to make study and investiga-
tion of all of the employers liability
and workmens compensation laws of
the country and make a report at the
next session of the Legislature two
years later on the kind of law that
would be best in view of the experience
| of other states. They declare that this
would be the only way in which the
legislature could intelligently handle
the question and frame a law that
would be fair to all parties. 1t is too
big subject, they say, to be taken
up all at once and enacted into law in
the short space of sixty days which is
the maximum limit of length of the
session of the Legislature.
| The National Manufacturers Asso-
citation appointed committee some
time ago to visit the countries OF
Europe and study tho laws there and
arrangements have been made to have
| two of the members of that oommittee
come to this city during the second
week of the Legislature and deliver
lectures to the Legislators and the pub
lie generally, setting out the results OF
| their search in those countries. The
employers say that these lectures will
be extremely valuable to the members
of the Legislature during their work
on the bills if they decide to carry
| through to enactment

To MAKE TEST CASE
ON TAX EXEMPTIONS

1t is said that a movement is on
foot in circles of SpanishAmerican war
veterans of Indiana to make test case
of the law as to exemption from poll
taxes. Some attorneys hold that the
exemption applies to veterans of the
Mexican and civil wars while others
say that it also applies to the soldiers
OF later wars. AS there are a number
in Hammond and Whiting and vicinity
who served In the Spanish-American
war, decision on the matter would
make a little difference in the poll tax
fund 1t is said that the case will be
carried to the supreme court for a de-
cision on the matter investigated by
Fort Wayne veterans.
