It has been one Of the most stu
pendous fight for an industry that
the Calumet region has ever known.
Several months ago the fact became
known in inner circles that the Bald
win locomotive works would build
9 large western plant for the Tur.
pose Of competing with the Aneri-
can Locomotive works that is to be
built at Gary. THE TIMES carried
the story then, but was bound to Sc
secrecy as to names and details.
The importance of the fight may be
appreciated when the fact is known
that the proposed western plant OF
the Baldwin Locomotive works will
empIay 10000 to $4,000 skilled ma
chanics and will employ enough men
to make possible the building of city
of $4,000 inhabitants.
