park. There will be a procession in
Gary in the morning and the crowds
will come to the park in special cars at
1 o'clock. There will be dancing in the
pavilion and games and other features
will be offered. Big preparations have
been made to make the event of unusu-
al significance. The society is one that
is enlisted in a worthy cause. The
proceeds of thep icnic will be devoted
to the fund for sick workingmen among
the Hungariaps OF Gary.
Rudolph Maraz. president of the Servi-
an and Croatfan sokols was at Lake
woods on Wednesday to look up terms
and other matters pertaining to the
big picnic of the sokols which will be
given later in the season. 1t is quite
probable that this picnic will be held
in Lakewoods. and If this is so, it will
be big gathering, as the sokols have
very large membership. Several 9TH
er societies are also negotiating for the
privilege of picnics at the park this
season. Among these are several Chi
cago organizations.

INCREASED DEMAND
FOR ROLLING STOCK
Gary Gets More Rail Or
ders; Larger Fall Traf-
fic Anticipated.

Car and locomotives orders are more
numerous, orders for about 10000 cars
and about 900 locomotives having been
placed the last week. while estimates
are being made of much larger re-
quirements In these lines which are
confidently expected to take market
form at an early date. An interesting
development in this connection is the
manner in which railroad companies
are purchasing machinery equipment
for their repair shops. The promise Of
larger traffic over the railroads this
fall is thus making itself felt in vari-
Gus directions.
Gary Gets Rail Orders.
Rail contracts are few. but would
perhaps be more numerous If the rail
makers were able to promise early de-
livery. Orders for 1900 tons of rails
were placed last week with Gary and
Chicago mills for October delivery and
other negotiations pending. The
Southern New England. the new ex-
tension of the Grand Trunk. is inquir
ing for 10000 tons for delivery this
year. So much difficulty is being ex-
perienced by railroad companies in Sc
curing rails needed this year that the
turn to the policy of buying a year
ahead @o insure deliveries.
The Newcastle Steel and Iron Com
pany has been Incorporated and will

URGES S 5000, 900
FOR EXPERIMENTS

$5,000,00 experiment station to
try out the best methods OF car and
locomotive construction and to show
the way II possible to eliminate an
estimated daily waste of $1,000, 900 in
car shops was advocated yesterday by
w. r. Gale in an address before the
convention of the International Rail-
way General Foremens association.
Mr.. Gale is demonstration for the
Chicago and Northwestern railroad.
His subject of specialization IN rail-
way shops and the application of the
principles of scientific management to
American railroads.
1.-THE idea suggested" said Mr.. Gale,
would have for its foundation the
joint establishment and equipment of
cooperative experiment station.
shops, etc. at an estimated output of
perhaps 100000 for machinery.
tools and supplies. with an annual ap-
preparation of some sl.ooo.ooo for rum
| ming expenses
THE plan suggested mas aroused
considerable interest among officials
| and shops. and 1t would seem that. in
order to try out to a satisfactory con-
clusfon the greatest efficiency of the
project, a committee consisting Of at
| least one practical representative Of
every first class railroad should be Sc
| lected, together with the proper rep
resentative of the national govern
| ment and the originators of the
scheme. These men, with the proper
| kind of materials and facilities. could
demonstrate the practicability of the
plan.
THE plan also deals with the estab-
fishing of right relations between en-
| ployers and employees. These. with
| good management. are important fac
tors in the amount of work the en-
| ployer receives from his employees.
/ I'VE are also taught that scientific
! management does not necessarily
mean that standard method or sys-
tenn is to be followed, irrespective OF
conditions, but it is a great principle
that may be applied in a great variety
of ways so long as the basis ideas are
not departed from"
