East Chicago, Indiana, September 2.
The Hubbard Steel Foundry company
began turning out their product
last week The machinery has been
installed and the building completed
and now nothing remains to be finished
but some minor details. The Hubbard
people purchased the old Davidson
foundry property last fall and since
then have had large force of men at
work remodeling the old building and
erecting a much larger structural iron
addition
The headquarters of the company are
in Pittsburg but the unexcelled water
and rail facilities of East Chicago ap-
pealed to the business instinct of the
officers of the company and they decid-
ed to locate branch of their immense
industry here. Their product will con-
sist of large and small castings, but
they will cater more particularly to
the rolling mill trade. When the plant
opens it Is not expected that large
force Of men will be employed. the men

modest way and gradually work up to
the full capacity of the plant The
Hubbard Steel foundry is looked upon
in East Chicago one of its best in
dustries and the people here will take
great satisfaction in seeing the smoke
rolling out of the tall stacks. where
under the old Davidson regime such an
occurrence only happened intermittent
ly.
And speaking OF the Hubbard Steel
foundry 1t might be recalled that their
neighbor. the Interstate Iron and Steel
company. purchased a tract of seven
and one-haif acres, just north of their
present property, some time ago, from
the East Chicago company, which was
undoubtedly not done for a specula-
tive purpose. The Green Engineering
company also bought additional ground
adjoining them, short time ago, which
they will utilize for more yardage.
So it goes all along the line where 1t
isn't news of a new industry locating
here. 1t is the story of an old one max

The party represented two hundred
farms and every man purchased. Al
though this is the most unfayorable
season Of the year yet all plan to
move down in the near future. Mr.
slifer will have another large party
on October IS and will move there
next month. He reports the Abilene

acres are ready for the farmer. Many
are living in tents and the season has
only begun. He predicts the great

"Now want to say that toy manu-
facturers keep in touch with events
in their line. If you do not provide
amusement for your children they
win provide 1t themselves. And when
children are forced to find their own
amusement, It means the start on the

"Toys have a standard Of their

CHRISTMAS TOYS HERE.

Christmas is coming! Perhaps you

4 sAI,uTARY LESSON.

Clay Center Republican: The ca
tastrophe in Los Angeles by which
one Of the finest newspaper plants In
the west was destroyed and several
lives sacrificed is attributed to the
hatred Of organized labor for an IN
stitution that has contended for IN
dustrial freedom and the non-inter-
ference OF private business by those
who have no interest in Its capital
or It's management.
The circumstances point very
strongly to the truth Of these charges
and investigation will probably be In
stltuted to complete the chain Of evil
dence which will fasten the guilt on
the guilty parties.
The people who are responslf g
for such outrages are those who ne
preaching anarchy and the right ot
men to agrees upon the rights q
others.
The sentiment Of the country IS
being crystalized into concrete idea
that the rights Of man extend into
the affairs OF private business, that
It IL the duty Of the government to
make laws that will place an espion-
age on the rights OF individuals to
conduct their own business along
lines Of such economy as they may
deem necessary to make the business
successful and to have horde Of Of
flee holders acting as spies on pri-
vate concerns rendering the Invest
ment Of capital Improbable and abb
soIuteiy subservlent to the will Of
the politicians.
The spirit Of anarchy is rife
throughout the political world today
brought about by the arraignment
OF class against class, Of labor against
capital and the incubation into the
public mind that public servants are
dishonest, that men with vast prop
erty interests are antagonistic to the
nommon people, Chat corporations
are constituencies bodies, conducted
BY men who are common looters, who
would exploit the nation at the ex-
pense Of the masses. Under sucn
conditions there Is very little security
for property, small incentive for the
investment Of capital, little regard
for the ability Of experience and q
general drift into things that are con-
ducive to industrial unrest and poll
teal chaos.
Eminent men are responsible Tor
this and the danger Is not so much In
the over acts Of the perpetrators OF
suchAdiabollcal incidents as the Cali
fornia episode, as in the general SEN
tlment that is being rapidly created
BY the demagoglc utterances Of those
who have gained the popular ear,
A continuance Of this order OF
things will eventually result In UNI
usual disturbances in the great man
ufacturing centers, and series Of COM
mercial disasters that will be dan
gerous to the country and a total dis
continuance OF the industrial pros
perIty that has characterized our ma
tional life for the past fifteen years.
The California incident is a lesson
that all should study.
