Popular Gas Man to Accept
Position With Detroit

probability accept similar position of

Gas company. At present Mr.. ORourke
Is visiting eastern cities. where he CON-
bines business with pleasure. He is ex-
pected to return tomorrow and to give
the local company a formal resigna-
ton
''Bilr' O'Rourke. as he is popularity
known, Is considered to be one of the
best gas manufacturers from an econ
omical standpoint in the country. He
is a self made man, and through hard
and earnest work has become an ex-
pert.
In Hammond he numbers his friends
by the hundreds, and while it is gener-
ally understood that he betters himself
with the change, his resignation is new
ertheless matter of regret for his
many friends here. His pleasing per-
sonality. the atmosphere of good fell
lowship about him and his many other
good qualities have made him a char
acter in the business district that will
be missed.

SUPT. DOUGLAS SAYS
STORY IS EXAGGERATED
Manufacturer Declares That
Most of Riveters Have
Gone Back to Work

superintendent H. B. Douglas of the
Standard Steel Car company saws that
the stories of labor difficulties at the
local plant of the company are greatly
exaggerated.
He states that most of the riveters
haev gone back to work and that the
reported craneman's strike was not a
strike at all He said that he had oc-
easion to discharge about ten of the
cranemen and that the story was then
started that they were out on strike
Mr.. Douglas stated that bad labor
conditions in the Calumet district are
due OF the fact that the car manufac-
turers in Hegewisch and Pullman are
bidding against each other for men.
He says that some of the men are
induced to quit on the representation
that they will get better jobs and later
find that they have no better Job than
they had with the local company. The
local riveters are able to make 81 to
$3.50 a day for their work, and he
thinks they ought to be satisfied with
that.

possibly stepping stone to better
transportation facilities than the town
now affords.

TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind. August 4.-Marion
county is believed to be the decisive
battle ground of the coming state cam
paign. The impression of the political
leaders and the close observers of
thingspolitical seems to be that as
Marion county goes so will go the
state, and they base this prediction on
the prospect that the election result
this fall is going to be close, with no
one able to tell this far in advance of
the election anything about what that
result is going to be.
1t is going to be red hot campaign
all over the state, but 1t is believed
that the heavy fighting will be done in
Marion county. This county has thir-
teen members of the legislature, eight
and five Senators.
Leaders on both sides figure that the
majority of either party in the legis-
lature next winter will be so small that
whoever carries Marion county and
elects it's delegation to the legislature
will control that body.
In the last session the Republicans
had only one Senator and no represen-
tatives from Marion county The

Hobart and Valparaiso people have
been desirous of getting interurban

will also place those communities in

MARION COUNTY WILL BE A
BATTLE GROUND THIS YEAR

Democrats had the eight Representa-
tives and four of the Senators. Their
four senators are holdo-ers now and
will have seats in the Senate at the
next session. One Senator is to be
elected this fall to take the place of
Senator Linton A. Cox, the Republican
who has been nominated in the Seventh
district for Congress.
Eight Representatives. are to be-
elected this fall in this county, and the
big fight will be for those eight places
1t is believed that the political COM
plexion of the next legislature depends
entirely on the complexion of the Mar
ion county delegation in the House.
This is why the center of the fight
will be in this county.
Those who have indulged in figures
and estimates on the probable results
are of the belief that the majority
either way in the next legislature is
going Co be extremely small The
Democrats have the advantage to start
with in the Senate because there they
have the larger number of hold over
Senators, and the Republicans, there
fore, must elect a larger number OF

The Globe Station stencil is again
with us. Last, night it was waited in
on the wings of a southwestern breeze.
To be specific 1t was at least fifty times
heavier than air, and many of the resi-
dents of the south side cut off large
chunks of said stencil and used it for
fertilizer

Ihey had visited the plant themselves
on many occasions, but they really had
no idea that hundred billion or more
of atoms of valuable fertilizer was act

They declared themselves in favor of
the conservation of such valuable re-
sources and indicated that the stencil
would only be allowed to perrneate
the atmosphere of Homewood as a spe-
cial favor.
The henderson the stencil commit

rendering company for the many bene-
fits that had been derived from the
stencil in the past, but said that thew
would prefer to have it shut OFF in the
future
To this the said officials politely
acquiesced. and the information was
passed out that within six weeks the
