BEFORE THE
BUSINESS MEN

1t will be up to the business men of
Hammond as to- whether the annual
Labor day picnif-sEiIl be held in Ham
rnond or some sosfssx city OF the Ca1u-
met region. Because Gary and East
Chicago have each been the center of
celebration in the past two years it
would be. logically Hammond's turn to
entertain the thousands of Iaboring
people of the Calumet region this year.
The merchants of Gary, never slow
to recognize an opportunity for mutual
benefit to themselves and the union
men. are already making overtures to
the labor people to secure the big pic
mic and its accompanying demonstra-
tions for Gary
The joint committee from the Build
ing Trades and the Trades and Labor
Council. which has the making of the
final decision as to the location, is
Withholding its decision until next
Thursday night. This is done in order
that the committee may hear from the
Hammond BUSINESS Mems association,
which also holds its meeting Thursday
evening. The labor committee will have
a committee a the business mems as
sociation to present its case and to
learn whether the Hammond mer-
chants care to give their support to the
movement this year.

Rain dampened the ardor of $50
Hammond Cubs fans yesterday after
they had organized an automobile par
ty of $50 rooters and prepared to storm
the west side park
1t is true the party arrived on sched-
uled time, but a second shower made it
impossible for the game to be PLAYED
and the Hammond men were forced
to come home with a bunch Of rain
checks in their pockets
However, the trip served the purpose
of advertising Hammond as live town

a good time in spite of the rain.
All of the members of the party will
see the next game. and while it will
cost them additional car fare it is ex-
pected that the holders of rain checks

1t is said that some of the Chicago
manufacturing interests have an eye
on Wolf lake but real estate interests
of the big city are very jealous of Lake
county and they may be expected to
put up strong fight against it. Wolf
lake lies in the extreme corners of
northwestern Indiana and noreastern
Illinois. 1t is five hundred feet from
Lake Michigan and is connected to it
by small stream. The lake covers
narea of five square miles.

create a harbor there but the measure
