GREAT LABOR FIGHT
IS OVER At LAST
The Steel and Tin Sheet
Plants Open Again at
Pittsburg.
STRIKE LASTED LONG TIME
The Battle Was One of the Fiercest
Ever Waged Between Capital
and Labor.

Every department of the American
Sheet and Tin Plate company in Pitts
burg opened yesterday, and the great
steel workers" strike is at an end.
Most of the departments which have
been out were reopened several weeks
ago. but the order to open the last
branches did not come till Wednesday.
This ends what is probably the great
est struggle that ever existed between
capital and labor, and both sides are
claiming the victory. True, the labor
men went back to work at the scale
the manufacturers proposed but they
made rules and law in the time they
were out governing their actions,
which +ha company has had to accept.
The strikers stayed out over year
and were supported during that time
by the members of the union through
out the whole country. Such organiza-
ton as that never existed among the
laboring classes at any other time, and
it was a great power in the government
of the state at this time.
The following is an exract from the
Pittsburg Post:
! The opening of the mills came
somewhat as a surprise, the general
| impression having grown that the com
pany intended TO dismantle the plants
following the strike and the riotins
which occurred about the Etna Stand
| ard plant.
, President E. W. Pargny said las
night that number of the men hat
applied for positions, and that it had
been decided to take them back ant
resume operations. Mr.. Pargny sai(
| the company never announced the plan
l would be dismantled."

the side gave way slightly, causing
the front wheels of the wagon to turn

MAY RESULT
IN FEDERAL
|NQU|s|T|0N
Complaint About Gary Con-
tract Letting to Be Made
to Austro Hungarian Con
sui Whence It May Find
Way to U. S. Grand Jury.

Federal probing of some of the Gary
aldermen and two of the local con-
struction companies in reference to con-
tract letting and high assessments may
result from a complaint, which 1t is
said, will be made to the Austrian
Hungarian consul general in Chicago
by Gary property owners who have not
yet become American citizens.
Angered because of the council pro-
cedure in contract letting and the fact
that the famous twin sister" compa-
MES get all the work, thus barring
out competition with the resultant ex-
horbitant assessment rates, has stirred
some of the south end foreigners to
action. They have been seeking legal
advice and have been advised to take
the matter up with the consul general
in Chicago, who in turn will complain
to the embassy a Washington
All such matters come under the
jurisdiction of the federal courts and
should the complaint be made it will
come into the hands Of the u. S. dis
trict attorney at either Chicago or In
dianapolis. Federal grand jury investi-
cations would then be conducted either
from Judge Kenesaw lands court in
Chicago or Judge Anderson's. whose
district is in Indiana.
Some of the south end residents who
have not yet become citizens of this
country and whose relief lies in the
United States courts, are said to be
the ones who are to take the matter
up. Federal investigation of theil
complaints 1t is asserted would bring
about speedier adjustments and If Il
is done a number of Gary aldermen
contractors and others may find them
selves facing a government grand jury
inquisition.

THE COMMISSIONER WRONG.

contractors of Lake county would
be merged into county assOcia-

AT the time the building commits
sioner of Gary denied lit and
cIared that 1T was an attempt ON the

of the contractors of the rest of the

OPENS CAMPAIGN

man E. D. Crumpacker is not much of
a press agent when it comes to boost
ing himself in the newspapers was re-
vealed in his Hobart speech when
Crumpacker stated that he had been
given the task of writing the bill which
provides for the new tariff commission.
Every syllable of this most important
measure was written by Crumpacker.
The creation of the tariff commits
sion is expected to be one of the great
est tariff reforms that have even been
made in this country. 1t will take the
tariff question out of politics and will
insure a scientific study of each sched-
ule in its relation to the protection of
labor in the United States before new
schedules are fixed. 1t will prevent the
periodical depressions in business which
result every time the administration,
whether it be republican or democratic,
undertakes to revise the schedules.
DOES MICH FOR DISTRICT.
Congressman E. d. Crumpacker then
went on to enumerate the measures
that he has succeeded in putting
through for the cities of the Tenth dis
trict. Among those which directly
affect Lake County are the building of
the federal building at Hammond at a
cost of s145,0O0, the securing of ap-
preparation of s125,00O for a building
at Gary, the passage of a bill by which
the government takes over Indiana Har-
Dor and has improved the Gary harbor
the passage of a bill which compells
the dredging companies to dump dredg-
ings eight miles from the shore line
and prevents the pollution of lake
water and a number of minor meas
ures.

so that this stream could be made

Some of the city officials believe
that the assessed valuation should be
about $4,000, 900, and they may go be-
fore the state board to have some of
the steel corporation schedules raised.
The city levy of $I55 will give about
100000 to operate the municipal ma

GAMES FOR SUMMER

Bouquet-This game is very similar
to the old play of "Stage Coach" Any
number of children can play it. One
is chosen for gardener"
All sit in a circle, or around the room,
and the gardener gives each one in
turn the name of some flower. When
all are named the gardener stands in
the center of the circle and tells how
he has gone to the woods to find GER
tain flowers and has brought them
home and planted them among other
flowers in, his garden, and how he
takes care of them, telling long story
and bringing in the names of all the
flowers he has given the children.
AS each flower is mentioned the child
who has that name rises, turns around
and sits down again. Any one who
fails to rise when her flower is named
must pay a forfeit. wtren the gar
dener says something about bouquet,
all rise and change seats. In the
scramble the gardener tries to get
seat The one left out becomes gar
dener.
Wink-All the girls sit in circle,
and the boys stand outside, one boy
behind each girls chair. One chair is
left vacant, but boy stands behind it
and, by winking at the girls, one at a
time, tries to get one to take the empty
chair.
AS soon as a girl is winked at she
tries to leave her seat and take the
vacant one, but if the boy behind her
notices and touches her before she
leaves the seat she cannot go. Each
boy has to keep his eye on the one
who is winking and on the girl in his
chair, for if he is not watching she
may escape before he has time to
touch her, and then it is his turn to do
the winking and get girl for his
chair.
If the winking is done quickly it
adds to the interest of the game. No
boy can keep hold of a girl; he must
only touch her when she starts to
leave her place, and if she gets be-
yond arms reach before he sees it he
cannot call her back.
