NOW Up TO
ELECTRICAL
WORKERS

It's up to the electrical workers of
local 571 to show cause why the paint
ers should in the futures participate in
sympathetic strike. This is said to
have been a sentiment expressed at a
meeting of the painters local last
night, while others of the craft went
farther and said it would be followed
in the future.
Had it been known at the meeting
last night that the president of ST.
James Finneran, had been indicted and
arrested on a charge which, If proven.
will discredit him and his labor pirates
forever in this region, some other ac-
ton would have been taken. judging
from the expressions of union painters
today.
why should we sympathize with
them any longer when they themselves
don't know what they are striking
for" said one union painter today who
stands for decency and order. BY that
do not mean that we will work on
jobs where non-union fathers or plas-
terers have been employed, but as far
as / am concerned the electricians will
have to show US in the future where
they are in the right
The past record of Finneran, Carmo-
dy and OConnor is so rank and odious
that the stinkpot which the Cook coun-
ty grand Jury opened with the indct-
ment Of Finneran would have been un-
necessary to bring about a break with
the electricians and the other unions
all along the line.
Public sentiment is practically crys-
talized in favor of the contractors for
refusing to deal with the electrical or
ganization. which has for years stood
for everything that is dirty, under
handed and despicable in unionism.
Contractor J. II. McClay, who has
been bearing the brunt of the attacks,
said this morning that his work was
moving along smoothly.
In the railroad situation everything
was quiet today. From Gibson ii was
reported that enough men are at work
in the maintenance of way departmen Mt
to keep things in moving order The
strike of the maintenance of way men
has not spread any and the strikers
have been supplanted by other labor
eis and section foremen.

GROUND
BROKEN
MONDAY

Ground will be broken next Monday
for the $4,000 administration building
of the Lincoln jefferson university. the
contract having been awarded TO j. II.
McClay of Hammond last evening.
The plans for the building which
were drawn by Architects Bump &
Berry have been completed for some
time and are designed to give at once
much needed space to the constantly
growing school. as we'll as make the
building one of the most handsome
in Hammond.
The university has 1O0-foot frontage
the west side of Holman street at
the corner of ogden street and Just
south of the First Presbyt terianlchurch
The first building will be erected in the
center fifty feet in order to allow
for additions on both sides in the
course of time.
Several months ago the Calumet In
stitute of Science and Literature was
incorporated at Indianapolis with
capital stock of 100000. this company
being composed of the men at the
head of the Lincoln jefferson univer-
sity. 1t is in the nature of a holding
company for the university, having
greater capitalization than the latter
and a wider scope for operation.
The Lincoln-J Jefferson university has
been most successful and is still grow
'TIlsy. BUT the men at the head saw op-
portunities to grow still faster and i'm
med ately, and. therefore. conceived the
idea of selling preferred stock in the
Calumet Institute. About $4,000 worth
Of this preferred stock is TO be put on
the market, and so readily has ii taken
in the short time that by far more
than half of this amount has been dis
posed of already.
The money thus raised is to be used
first in the erection of the administra-
tion building. to carry on an advertis-
ing campaign of national scope to
iiquidate on the outstanding bills and
thus save the discount and to eliminate
the Wholesale of the copyrighted
books of the institution, putting their
money into good money earning
proposition.
At present the Lfncoln-Jefferson uni
versity has it's headquarters in the
Hammond building. the quarters there
are by far too small. 1t is hoped that
the new building will be completed by
next fall and ready for occupancy.
The building for which ground is to
! be broken next Sunday is TO be two
| stories in heighth and is to have a
| basement For the present this build :
| ing will afford storage. office and class
| rooms for the resident class in the de-
] partment. 1t will be of brick and
! stone construction and be 75x50 in
| length and width.
Nearly all the stock in the Calumet
Institute which has been disposed. has
been sold in Lake county. where the
! investors had an opportunity to become
! personally acquainted with the school
| and its character.
