UNION
MAN GIVES
CRITICISM

II. T. Thompson, the foreman of the
electrical workers on the Holman
strete bridge. stated Saturday night
that in his opinion the tactics used by
the electrical workers in Lake county
ought not to be tolerated for another
day.
After stating that two of the men
in his employe. who are alleged to be
implicated in the same case that re-
suited in the indictment of James Fin
neran, made preparations on Saturday
to leave for parts unknown. he gave
the results of his experiences with
Lake county electricians
Il wanted to put my own men on
the work" said Thompson. because I
l<ne.vsthey woaald do an honest days
work for an honest days pay. I was
informed that although my men were
union men that would have to employ
the local electricians or 1 could not go
ahead with the work.
Rather than have any trouble with
the electrician, let the Hammond men
do the work. The result was that most
of the time one man was standing
around on one foot watching the other
work
Il found out that in Hammond there
is a system of tribute exacted by the
heads of the union from every man
who works. Every man on the job
is compelled to pay a dollar a day
for the privilege of working.
In other words. the union in Ham
mond exists for the sole purpose of
enabling the officers to levy a tribute
on those who work in the trade in this
locality.
The men that were given were not
skilled worlmen- In fact, they did not
seem TO know very much about the
work that was given them to do. They
soldiered on the job, and frequently it
would take me half day to go over a
piece of work that had been done by
these men,"

suited in the death of seven persons.
They we're Mrs. j. F. Harden, Ave
children of Mr.. and Mrs. Harden and
Miss Ada Green, who lived with the
Harden family. Mr.. Harden es.
capped but is in a crazed condition.
The fire destroyed the Harden resi-
dence causing financial loss OF
$4,000.
In point OF the loss of life the fire
is the worst that has happened in
the state for years. The Harden
home was OH fire throughout when
the fire was first seen. Mrs. Har-
den ia terror leaped from a second
story window and died from her in
juries a short time later. Mr.. Har-
den rushed from the burning dwell
ing moaning and talking incoherent-
ly, the calamity having bereft him

The i've children and young
woman probably were suffocated
before they were burned, and never
knew what happened.
