MAYOR
CLOSES
SALOONS

Mayor Callahan of East Chicago.
took a Arm hand in the strike situation
yesterday afternoon when he ordered
all the saloons south Of the B. & 0.
tracks and east of the canal to be
closed indefinitely
In the afternoon a meeting OF strik-
ers and strike synlpathizers was held
at Columbia hall TO talk over the stu
alton, and at that meeting the mayor
made a very wholesome and lasting
impression in talk which he gave DO
fore those assembled. He deprecated
the high cost of living and the spirit
of unrest that seemed 10 be respopst-
BILE IN part for the strike. He said
that he had no sympathy, however.
with the acts of violence and the ap-
parent disregard for law and order
shown by some of the men the night
before. He said that IL was the duty
of the city authorities to protect life
and property IL every wav possible.
and that the resources Of she city, and
the state If need be. would be utilized
10 their full extent to suppress any
disturbance and obtain peaceful corr
ditions for the citizens and all con-
cerned. He pleaded with the strikers
to make every effort to come TO sat
isfactory understanding with the Off
Gals of the Grasselli Chemical COM
pany and to return peacefully to work.
1t is said that the prompt action OF
the city police. assisted by the Ham
mond officers and the appearance OF
the national guard, together with the
mayors talk. Induced quite number
/ to return to work last night and this
morning at the compromise increase OF
two cents an hour on the wage scale.
1t Is believed that most of the men
will be back in the plant by tonight
and that the trouble is practically ovsr.
Yesterday the plant and the enclos-
ure quickly took on the appearance of
a military camp. About $50 men. I'M
der orders of acting Major Harmon.

them in the plant yards near the Of
fee. Every part of the industry Wa,
: guarded by squads of soldiers. Guards
patrolled the road in front of the
plant and ordered pedestrians and au-
tomobiles to keep moving. Military
precision and authority were in evil
dence everywhere.
The battalion of soldiers will remain
in charge of the plant. and the saloons
VIII remain closed until every indica-
ton OF possible trouble disappears
The hrmness and pronptness with
which this situation has been handled,
| the complete protection of the persons
and property of the Grasselli Chemical
company. and the quelling of the dis
| turbance. which looked serious for a
| time, without the shedding of blood is
credit to all who were in any way
responsible for the manner in which
| the affair has been handled.

No CHANGE
IN DRAFT
FIGURES
c. o. Holmes Learns This of
Gary, East Chicago
Unchanged.

AS FAR as the first draft is concerned
equalities that affect Gary and East
Chicago in the draft quota. Like other
communities they will get the benefit
OF credits for eniistments in the army
and guard. but this is all. The story
printed in THE TIMES two days ago
stands and is authoritative. THE TINES
Indianapolis bureau had the correct
news and had 1t "a hours ahead or any
press association.
Next Draft 80 Days Hence.
In the second draft, which is so DAYS
hence it is possible that Gary may have
its situation slightly changed. but as
East Chicago has made no formal pro-
test II is likely to have its figures un-
changed.
Another thing that concerns the Ham
mond-Whiting-ruraI Lake county ex-
emption district is that il gets by easy
on this draft, but on the second call
within 30 days. it is likely to lose TO
Gary and East Chicago some of the
enlistment credits now given to it. This
will rebound particularly to East Chi
cagos benef1t.
This is a resume of local draft con-
ditions as obtained by c. o. Holmes
chairman of board No. 2. who was at
Indianapolis yesterday.
Mr.. Holmes went to indianapolis to
meet Governor Goodrich and State Con-
scription Agent Eschbach. While there
he discussed not only the Gary, but the
East Chicago and Lake county situa-
lions as well.
Draft figures and credits were fixed
as follows for the first CALL
Gary: PA army enlistments and 1876
guard enlistments. total 351 credits to
be deducted from quota of s12. leaving
net quota of 461 men.
East Chicago. 81 army enlistments
and SO guard enlistments, total ia
credits; quota SIT men. net quota 402
men
Lake county districts (Hammond-
Whiting Crown Point and rural Lake
county,: 5s4 enlistments in army and
rs enlistments in guard; quota 726 men.
net quota SO men.
1t was learned that Gary and East
Chicago claim more army enlistment,
credits than they have received.
and If 1t is found that any Gary and
East Chicago-Indiana Harbor men en-
listed at Hammond office and were not
credited TO these districts any ineqdali-
ties will be remedied on the next draft
And of course the Hammond-Lake coun.
ty district will have to supply an extra
man for each one taken away from its
enlistment credits by the revised quota
East Chicago's Case.
Roughly speaking East Chicago is hi,
hardest in the draft. 1t is said that II
East Chicago has any inequalities IL
isn't complaining about them.
No Credit Fog New Army EnHstments
No credit will be given to any COM
munity for the enlistment of drafted
men. II is said. However. the army
needs men and 1t needs them badly and
that is why 1t is trying to build UP its
strength as quickly as possible

MEN PRESUME
 TO CHALLENGE
 REAL EXPERTS

Recently the men, who allege that they are considerable some pumpkins when it comes to playing bridge, were entertained by the ladies of the bridge club. After that foray, aforsaid men having acquired still better opinion of themselves, issued a challenge to the ladies to play. The challenge was promptly accepted and on Friday night at S:3O o'clock the big event is scheduled to occur.
 Some 30 of the "more dangerous will be on hand to prove that the mere men are not informed even m the rudiments of the game.
 Mayor Sauers who is in charge of the committee on arrangements has issued an official manifesto to the eff feet that any host, who brings his guest to van Glider hall, the scene of combat, after S:3O o'clock will thereby inflict upon her and himself the penalty of having to play at one of the four tables to be reserved for tardy couples-and worse than this the tardy ones will not be eligible for the grand prizes but can only com pete for the consolation prizes. "Bet- ter come on time" says the mayor who has named the following commit tees:
 Reception Committee: F. L. Bal laine, Horace C. Define.
 Program Committee: Isaac Evans Erich Lucas, Leon C. Booker.
 Refreshments and Finance: H, J. Haasch and w. M. Sauers.

 To Conquest Mt. Everest
 "My exploring days are not over," affirmed Prof. Parker, "and as soon as my engineering work in the Yentna district is completed, l intend to begin the conquest of the hitherto unattainabe, the assent of Mt. Ever est in Asia"
 Nobody has yet even reached the base of Mt. Everest, because of the net work of rugged peaks that so completely interlace the approach. Mount Everest may be approached only from the Tibet side; and rises 0,OO2 feet above the sea level, the loftiest in the world.
 Prof. Parker was formerly vice president of the Explorers Club of New York, and was acting president last year. He was also a member or the very exclusive British Alpine Club, as we'll as many other mount aineering and scientific clubs.
 He will return to Seward some time in March, though his work in the Yentna country will no doubt keep him in Alaska more or less for the next few years. He will bring equip ment for the work some time in the spring.

SENATE DECLINES TO DISCUSS
 PRES. WILSON'S PEACE PLANS

WASHINGTON, Wednesday. - An attempt to set aside tune for general discussion of President Wilson's world peace plan, beaten in the Senate today when sufficient objection raised to prevent action much to the chagrn of Senator Cummings author of the resou ton.
 When the senate declined to act his resolution to consider the presidents plan commencing next Monday, Cummings stated that he would call it up every day until opposition withdrawn.
 While the resolution was under discussion Senator
 Weeks remarked that President Wilson had used the L. $ Senate as megaphone through which he addressed the world"
 Officials and diplomats in Washington now believe that when the president addressed the Senate he had in nis possession information leading him to believe that he could eventually bring about peace.

PLANS TO
 REFINE OWN METAL

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 24,-Another step in the process of transferring from the United States to Canada the business of mmition making for the Entente Allies will be taken at the approaching session of the Dominion Parliament, it was indicated here Oy Finance Minister White.
 It is expected that a government bill will be introduced which will pro- vide aid by bounty or traifr for the refining of lead, copper and zine in Canada.
 Great supplies of metals required for shell manufacturing exist in the ore in the Dominion, but most of the refining of it is done in the United States. The proposed plan of govern ment encouragement is attributed to the increasing volume of the muni- ton business in Canada.

ROSCOE STILL "ON WAY" ID
 ANCHORAGE

No word has been received at An chcrage concerning the tug L. Roscoe, laden with oi and explosives and now that the opportunity presented by the long thaw to get through the ice has passed it IS not expected that she can reach there before the tides change.
 old timers who have had consider able experience on the ice say that the tug is probably at Seldoyia. There was no ice in the harbor at Anchorage for week before she started and this, they say, indicated taat it had drirtcd down below the Forclands. The southwestern which blew the day before the Roscoe start ed probably jammed this ice about the Forclonds leaving mo lancs fo" the tug to get through.
