veteran railroad employees in Harris
burg will not be possible this year.
This announcement was made to-day

Every veteran association identi-
fed with the Pennsylvania railroad is
in favor of a State reunion, but each
division has planned for this year. 1t
would be impossible to arrange train
accommodations. From information
l received, the question will come up
at the annual meetings this year, and
a committee appointed to arrange for
the big event for next year. 1t is un-
derstood, however, that a State gath
ering is not to be made an annual af-
fair"

REAL ESTATE MAN OF u. S. STEEL co. SAYS
RENTS WON'T ADVANCE IN GARY, IND.

A Day Book reporter hoped an
I. c. train yesterday and went out
to Gary to see how the people of that
city take the S81,OO0,OOO divvy of
cash split among the owners of the
U. S. Steel corporation this week.
IF J. P. Morgan, Marshall Field
III. and Henry Field, George w. Per-
kins, Burlington, Gary, FTiCk and the
rest of the insiders in this biIliOn-dOl-
lar machine can squeeze a jag of
profits amounting to $81, 100000
from it in three months time, then
they must have a wonderful city and
a wonderful way of taking care Of
their people out in the city they made
to their own order in line with all
their own wishes, plans and expecta-
tiOns," mUsed the reporter as he
sIOuched haIf-asIeep in the I. G. car
seat on the way out. And these are
some of the things the reporter
found:
About five weeks ago the Car
Tribune and the Gary Post, both
known as speaking tubes Of the U. S.
SIGGl 20, duuOuuCGu LudL IuC GdA
Land Co., a subsidiary of U. S. Steel
Co., would raise rents 20 per cent all
along the line.
Such a rent raise would soak up
and grab off more money from the
working class of Gary than the Steel
Trust claims to have paid out in all
the wage raises it claims to be pay
ing.
An editor, a lawyer, a drug store
man, a salOonkeeper and two work
ingmen all told the reporter every
body expected rents to be showed up
20 per cent on Aug. 1. Mayor Ros-
well Johnson was the clincher on
this proposition, he stating he under
stood definitely the Gary Land Co.
would raise rents, but the raise would
be less than that of other landlords.
So the reporter went to Capt. Horace
Norton, president of the Commercial
oI77b bnod Of the real estate buSi-
