UNMIT|GATED GALL
Manage to Smuggle Knife
and Saw to Him While
on Way to Jail.

Unknown associates of Frank Graves
who was arrested by officer Malo on
charges of mistreating 15-year-old Fay
Anglin and self-confessed hold-up took
desperate chances to aid in his escape
yesterday while he was being taken
across the state line in custody of Ham

large pocketknife, which was not dis
covered until he was searched at the
West Hammond police station.
Later on in the day, an unknown par

After the party left, the clothing was
searched and the police found a small

IN WAGES
GRANTED GAR ME-
Street Railway Men Secure
an Agreement With the
Companies.

The Goshen, South Bend & Chicago
Railroad Company. the Valparaiso &
Northern Railroad Company and the
Gary Connecting Railways Company
have entered into an agreement with
the Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Railway Employees of
America, Division No ST.
Under this agreement the trainme n
will receive an increase in wages of
cents per hour and their working
conditions are good
The wage scale upon these systems
are as follows: Trainmen for the first
six months of service shall receive 80
cents per hour, " cents per hour for
the next six months and 35 cents per
hour thereafter.
The members who go to make up
Division No. BIT number less than 100,
and 1t would seem like a waste of
space to say very much about the class
of men and qualifications of the Off
GERS of this division aftel telling what
they have actually done of late.
However, we will state that the
members of Division No. SIT are a fine
set of men; they are union men from
the word go.
They have proved that they are able
10 cope Win the Q1fI COnClIlO0s
that have arisen from time to time.
They have proved to the company
that as union men and established citi
zens they are careful, and are work
ing for the interest of the company
thereby saving them thousands of dol
lars by avoiding accidents
They have proved to the riding pub
lie that they are capable trainmen and
their atentiveness to their duties upor
the Gary and Interurban and the above
mentioned lines assures everyon that
rides that they take no chances wher
travling over these lines.
The agreement between the Gary &
Interurban Railway Company and the
employees will expire June l next and
it is very likely that the trainmen viii
ask for increase of wage. They are
now paying 80 cents per hour after
two years of service.-I.ake County
Labor Advocate.
