A. P. 7. COUNCIL
OFFICIALS IN CITY
Looking Up Matter of Fake
Labels in Whiting and
East Chicago.

When the office boy announced that
Florence Donaghue and a crowd of
others wanted to see the editor,
preparation was made to receive
delegation of suffragettes or settlement
workers. When Florence came in he
announced--for it was a he instead of
a she--that he didn't wear skirts and
the joke WAS on the office boy. Mr..
Donaghpe is the Iye-wire president Of
the Allied Printing Trades council of
Chicago. With him were, Otto T. Was
EN-, secretary treasurer; w. A Lewis,
secretary, and James William, vice
president of the organization.
The quartet came to Hammond to-
day to take up the matter of fake la
bells which are being used in different
parts of this locality. A Whiting sheet
is boosting label that is in no way
connected with the printing trade, and
a complaint is made that others are
doing so. People desiring the union
label on their printing should be care
full.
The officials of the craft ask particu-
larly that all union labor men give
their printing to shops carrying the
union label authorized and credited BY
the trades council They will take
| steps to punish the parties who ar,
| taking labels

Tramp Was Flattened.

NARROW ESCAPE.

r. f. Hobbs, mechanician employed
in the Bud" Cannon garage on Fay
cite street near Oakley avenue. met
with a severe accident this morning
from which he was fortunate to es-
cape with his life
For a period of time that is esti-
mated variously from five to ten min
utes Hobbs was pinned to the floor of
the automobile shop by the truck of a,
Mitchell "6" which rested fun upon
him. He was rendered unconscious so
that two other workmen at the other
end of the shop knew nothing of his
predicament. They heard the truck
drop when a jack collapsed, but
thought nothing of it.
Hobbs was finally noticed and i'm
mediately rescued. Medical aid was
summoned and he is now at his home
in 756 Alice street suffering immeas-
urably from the accident. The extent
of injuries has not been announced
but it is understood that his condition
is cause for apprehension.

MUST WIDEN PANAMA CANAL TO 600 FEET
IN 20 YEARS, SAYS DE LESSEPS ENGINEER

Twenty years from now the Pana-
ma canal will have to be widened to
600 feet, since it's present width Of
ITO feet will be inadequate to handle
the ship traffic, says Philippe Bunau-
Varilla, engineer-in-chief of the
canal under. Ferdinand de Lesseps
from 1884 to 1891.
"The Panama canal, which was
thought when projected to be per-
petual, is just good enough for the
beginning, and should be transform
ed into the straits of Panama." I"
said Bunau-Varilla. "This idea of q
sea level canal could not be carried
out within time and money limits by
working on land, but it can be done
easily in the course of ten years by
the much more powerful and cheaper
system of dredging and transporting
the refuse on water. The expense
will be relatively small"
Bunau-Varilla believes the canal
will do big things for the far west.
THE country west of the Rocky
mountains, after the canal is opened,
is slowly but inexorably going to be-
come the Europe of America" he
says.
