TO BUILD COLD

Building Costing $l65,0OO To

Eliminated.

The Phez company announces today
the completion Of its plans for the cree
tion Of cold storage plant in Salem on
its property jnst south of the armory
and adjoining the Phez plant on South
Commercial and Trade streets. The cs-
timated cost is $165,000.
The building, which is to, be Of three
stories and of reinforced concrete ant
fireproof will take in the bottling de-
partment of the Phez plant, extend east
to Liberty street and north on Liberty
to within few feet of the armory. 1t
will be one of the largest cold storage
plants in the state.
Work on the plant will begin just as
soon as materials can be collected. Due
to the present steel strike and the slow
ness with which freight is delivered,
Frederick W. Schmidt said it was I'm
possible to state the exact time when
the storage plant would be under head
way. However, he felt confident every
thing would be in working order by next
spring, Or sooner with favorable condi-
tions.
| Heretofore the Phez company has
been obliged to send to Portland much
of its fruit for cold storage at an annual
cost of from $4,000 to 100000. With
the completion of the plant before the
i next berry season, it will sbe possible
for the company to store here the fresh
fruit and manufacture it into the, Phez
products.
| Not only the fruits and berries for
/ the use of the Phez company Wa 1e
handled, but the plant will be available
! for the eanneries here for storage when
supplies brought in are in excess OF the
capacity for canning. In this one re-
spect alone Mr.. Schmidt said the plant
would be Of great benefit to Salem in
| dustries.
It Is also planned to carry supply OF
ice of from 1900 to 5000 tons and thus
avoid the shortage Of ice which was ex-
perienced in the city last. summer Az
cork is sn important factor IN the erec,
tion of cold storage plants, Mr.. Schmidt
estimated that fully 10000 pounds OF
about 10 carloads would be used.
Next January l., the Phez company
will begin its fifth year. The logan,
berry juice business was first organiAcu -,
in the city with the Pheasant frui'
Juice company, with q capital OF $lo''

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Gary. Ind. Sept. 24.--Strikers in the
Calumet steel district for the first
time since they walked out seemed to
realize today the seriousness Of the
business at hand. Gary streets no long
er gave the appearance Of a festival
day, as during the first two days Of
the strike.
Although streets were crowded al,
most constantly, there was little Of
the surity that was noticeable previ-
ously. The men were not spending in
the free fashion which has long been a
characteristic Of the city, S population.
They were saving it for the long pull
which they believe is ahead
The average Gary steel worker is
well heeled.o according to financial
institutions. Bank officials, the major
itv of whom are openly with" the
steel companies, declare that 5000 is
the average bank account Of the steel
worker. They say that without outside
laid the average striker should be able
ITO live comfortably until December l
without work. Union headquarters to.
Idav sent workers to homes Of the
strikers to keep up the morale Of the
families and to urge saving Of funds
in every way possible so thAt4 they
would be rcadysto meet a long strike

Rollers employed by the American
Sheet and Tin Plate company, who vot.
ed to return 10 work, were able tc
bring back with them only a small
number of their crews, company off
cials admitted TO-DAY. The plants are
still inactive. Pickets declared less
| than 100 men went, to work.
Hope of greater opportunity to en-
! joy the pleasures and comforts OF
home life is the one big factor which
causes wives aud daughters Of steel
workers here to back them to the limit
That was the answer given today by
women pickets at the gates of the
Gary Screw and Bolt plant to the
question of what they hoped to Jail
from the strike. The majority Of the
lpickets were former employees at thu
plant. Others were wives and daugh
ters Of men strikers.
No other class Of workers know al
little of the joys Of the home as those
in the steel mills, - said Miss Heller
Haase, leader of the pickets.

 A recent telegram to the school boar5 announces the fact that an experienced primary eacher has been secured to take Miss Butts place in the public school.
 Miss Butt, who is an extensive raucner in her home town in Idaho' found. soon after her arrival in Skasway, last fall, that certain busi- nes. complications at the home rauc, would require her early pres eucg there in the spring. She' therefore, asked that another teach CT D. secured to take her place. Since tha- time efforts have been made to get in touch with a good primary teacher, but as war condl- tions have brought about scarcity of teachers that was not an easy thine to do. However, during MT. Hahn's holiday visit to Seattle, he ru. the matter in capable hands and be has just received notice that 'hc right teacher has been found. Shn is expected to arrive some time in February.
 Miss Butts many friends, and es- peciaiIy the parents of her little ones are expressing great regret at Iosinp her. The school Board wishes it known that they accepted her resignation only because she felt that her business interests de- manded her presence in Idaho. They feel that her place will be hard to i'll in the school and in the com mUnity.

 The circumstances are said to in dicate a clever robbery. The bonds, twenty-five in numCer and of the SlO,UUO denomination, bear mum Ders from 23,734 to 2S,75S. Bank CTS and brokers throughout the country have been notified to be on the lookout for them.
 Postoffice records at south Bend arc said to show that five regis tered packages were delivered to tho Studebaker offices On January 4 The postmaster has five re- ceiDt, purporting to show this. Stu  uebaker employees found four of the packages, but the firth, which contained the bonds, was missing.
 The postmaster is said to have exhibited a receipt for this pack age, bearing the signature of the seyenteen-year-old mail clerk em- pioyed by the corporation. The lad ucnied that the signature was his and insisted that he had received 10 such package.
 SiGce then postal clerks have been at work, and the vast plant of the Studebakers has been search ed from basement to roof without developing q single clue, it is said' Every employee who could possibly have seen the package has been interrogated. The case was kept secret until yesterday, believing tnal this method offered greater chances of success,
