ASK BLANKET
CONTRACT FOR
HARBOR WORK

A. G. Lundquist of Indiana Harbor
who was on the committee which went
to Washington last fall in the inter-
ests of the harbor Improvement, Is in
receipt of a letter from Congressman
Crumpacker in which the writer states
that when the Harbor appropriation
bill reaches the senate, an amendment
is to. be introduced asking that the
contract for the Improvement covered
by the entire appropriation of sl.33s,-
o0O be let to one firm. This does not
mean that the entire sum is to be ex-
pended at once, but that one firm will
get a blanket contract to do all the
work. regardless of when the money
will be available.
This is for the purpose of saving the
government much unnecessary expens,
in the matter of advertising. etc
Mr.. Crumpacker says in his letter
that when 1T is time for the bill to be
presented to the senate he will ar
range with Senator Kern or Shively to
take care of this amendment
AS the matter now stands work suf-
ficient tie be covered by the appropria-
tons made from year to year would
be contracted for the appropriations
are made. but this process would en-
tail much unnecessary expense that
could be better applied on the work it
self Two hundred and twenty-five
thousand dollars is the sum to be ex-
pended this year
For the past six years there has new
er been session of congress at which
something has not been provided for
work or maintenance of the canal

Another disturbance incidental to the
strike at the chemical works took
place yesterday afternoon at 4:30

A crowd of about two hundred and
fifty men composed of strikers were
congregated on the corners when Geo.

a disturbance, 1T is said, and the police
were summoned.
Sergeant Weifenbach and his auto
mobile squad were soon on the ground
and placed the two under arrest. Paul
Vorach and John Horwat attempted to
take the prisoners away from the off,

patrol. When the prisoners were
searched Balovich was found to be car

part of this statement
This statement is objected to be the
railroad officials who desire it to be
understood that:
First-The railroads are prepar ed to
apply to the Firemen-and have al
ready communicated this to their COM
mittee-the conclusions embodied in
the award of the board. which. to the
satisfaction of the country, recently
arbitrated the differences between the
locomotive engineers and the rail-
roads. The roads have also signified
their Willingness to grant certain in

COUNTY COUNCIL
MEMBERS SCORED

The action of the county council In
not meeting yesterday has been the
cause of much disappointment and con-
siderable indignation in the Twin
Cities.
While every one who spoke of the
matter sympathized withs the council
men for the position they were placed
in they did not approve of the atti-
tude the county officials took in Ego
ing on strike" 1t seemed to be the
consensus of opinion of the business
men here that while 1t was Unjust to
expect men to give their time and ex-
penses for the transaction of the coun-
tvs business, without any reimburse
ment, at the same time they sought the
office and should not permit the coun-
tvs interests to suffer because such
conditions prevail
One business man expressed himself
as thinking 1T was very childish for
the officials to return to their homes
without accomplishing anything when
they had already gone to the expense
of a trip to the county seat and had
lost almost as much time as il they
had finished the work they were ex-
pected to do.
There are a number of men in the
Twin Cities who would gladly have
borne the expense of salaries and in
| cidentals of the whole council. If that
could be legally done. rather than have
had their leave yesterday without hav-
ing made the appropriation for the
| 141st and 151st street bridges.
| The citizens here hope that the mem
| bers of the council will reconsider their
| action of yesterday and assemble In
| the near future to put through the
| necessary business that is so vital tc
! the welfare of the entire county.

for LACE. of funds
Last year the county council held
two special meetings and in addition
TO receiving their annual salary Of
twenty dollars voted themselves a per
diem of five dollars. While no man in
Lake raised any objection to this. the
state board of accountants refused to
0. K. the bills when they came along
last year. Then the present General
Assembly was relied on to come to the
relief Of the county councilmn, but the
bill that was introduced is apparently
doomed to failure. unless it can be re-
vived and pushed through.
No Salary Boost in sight.
The proposed bill provided that in
counties of thirtyfi Ave thousand popu-
lation or under the annual allowance
of the councilmen should be $50; for
counties with population between
$4,000 and $4,000, $50. and for counties
having population over $4,000 in
which class Lake would be figured. an
annual salary of $40. The committee
into whose hands this bill was placed
voted eight to three however for an
indefinite postpone ment of the bill,
which means that 1t is killed.
Unless the bill made special provi-
sion that the councilmen should hold
more regular meetings be paid for
attending special meetings, they could
refuse TO hold special meetings even
on forty dollars annual allowance.
just as they can refuse now to hold
special meetings on half that amount.

TAXPAYERS ARE HELPLESS.
| Those who disapprove of the coun-
| ellis stubborn attitude say that the
| taxpayers of Lake County are made to
suffer. because the council has a
grievance against the Legislature and
