Will the threatened steel strike retard
the plans of the Inland Steel for its
proposed $1,000 900 Improvement? That
IS the question that business men Of
Indiana Harbor are asking.
At the time that tho plans for the
Inland $15.000,o0O housing proposition

that the Inland Company planned ex-
tensive additions 10 their plant in In
diana Harbor which were made possible
hy the new housing proposition. These
plans included the erection of twenty
new sheet mills, many additional open
hearths. etc.
The plans for the improvements were
drawn some time ago and 1t was an
nounced that work might be expected
TO start at any time. Work on the i'm
provements has not yet started and now
Il Is probable that work will not be
begun before next spring. and perhaps
not then. 1t is understood that a grea,
deal will depend upon the results of
the coming strike

MAYOR BROWN
NAMES HIS
COMMITTEE

Complying with the ordinance passed
Tuesday eSening by the Hammond city
council Mayor Brown has named the
committee of three which will attempt
once more to bring she Standard Steel
Car Co. and its striking employees into
conference in the hope of ending the
strike.
The committee is composed or Sam
Skufakiss. councilman from the Sixth
ward; Joseph Miller. councilman from
the Second ward. and H. s. VOORHEES,.
councilman at large Mr.. Skufakiss has
been active in trying to get the affair
settled satisfactorily since the strike
was called July 1s and was a member
OF the mediation committee before with
mayor Brown and Sheriff Barnes.
According TO the plan proposed in the
ordinance, this committee from the city
council will call upon the Standard ofii-
cials and representatives of the en-
ployes and if possible one of the judges
of the courts OF The county will be Sc
lected to act as arbitrator at a hearing &
which VIII be arranged later. 1t was
specified in the ordinance that the agree-
ment OF the Standard officials TO meet
with representatives of the workmen al
this hearing would not be considered a
recognition of the unions or the prin-
ciple of collective bargaining.
The committee was not completed un-
til this morning, so no action has been
taken by it yet. 1t is hoped tho
wage dispute can be settled and the
men can get back TO work The big
steel strike has complicated matters AMI
it is feared that even though work shall
be resumed at the plant the men might
be called out later in sympathy or lard
off on account of lack of material
