EXTREMELY
CRITICAL
Public Must Prepare for Any
EVentuaIity Next
Saturday.

A strike Of street car employees Is inn
pending which threatens to tie up street
car service in the entire Calumet dis
trict. The trainmen and shop employees
Of tho Hammond. whiting and East
Chicago Railway company are affiliated
with Division 241 OF the Amalgamated
Association OF Street and Electric Rail-
way Employees. which comprises all the
operating employees OF the Chicago sur
face lines. On Tuesday. July is, the
union made formal demand upon the Of
1cials Of the surface lines and the Ham
rnond company for substantial increases
in pay and changes in working condi-
tons. The traction officials have refus-
ed the demands and the employees are to
decide BY vote tomorrow whether
strike shall follow The overwhelming
sentiment Of the union is said TO favor
a strike and unless the employees de-
rnands are met in the meantime the
cities of the Calumet district may find
themselves without street car service on
Saturday morning
The employees are demanding SIS cents
the present scale. also an eight hour
day. six day week. and time and one
half pay for overtime. They claim the
increase is necessary to enable them
and their families to meet the great ad
vance in the cost of living.
The Hammond company on the other
hand claims that i is impossible for it
to meet the increase for lack of suff
cient revenue The local employees were
granted wage increase TO IS cents an
hour maximum. last August by the fed
eral war board. This is said TO have
added $4,000 to the annual operating
cost of the lines. In addition TO this
the company claims there has been q
great advance in the cost Of rails, ties
and all construction materials, which
has brought the cost of maintaining thl
system to a point where il almost eX-
ceeds the revenue The company is lin.
tied to five-cent fare to any place =
the township. the same fare that ha
been in effect IS years. The increas
which the employees are now demandin
would add approximately $3.50 600 TO tn
present cost of operation. The tractior
officials say they cannot pay the train
men more unless they are given an in
crease of fare to provide the necessars
revenue.
1t is hoped that the strike make r
averted. that some solution may
found that will keep the cars running
The prospect for settlement satisfac-
tory to both sides Is very meagre. how

The employees are insistent upon their
demands and the company IS equally

unable to pay the increase. The public
has a very important interest In the

HERE'S ONE
WHO SAYS
ITS SERIOUS

That Hammond people will have more
trouble getting coal next winter than
they ever experienced before is the
opinion Of D. Z. Voreis. who recently
resigned the position Of Depdty Collector
of Internal Revenue a Hammond to be-
come secretary-treasurer of a newly or
ganized coal mining company in the
south part Of the state.
Mr. Voreis was in Hammond for
short time yesterday and discussed the
coal outlook. He says comparatively
little coal is being purchased by con-
suIners at present and all seem to be
following the old custom of waiting until
winter before laying in their supply
Mines can only run until they get
their switches full of cars. after which
they must wait until this is sold" said
Mr.. Voeis. There are sufficient cars
eht now to move the coal but the or
ders arc not coming in. In a short TIM
the rolling stock Of the railroads Will
be worked to their limit 70 take care Of
tho grain crops. Then 1t Will he little
use 10 order coal for it cannot be deliv-
cred in quantities until after the har-
vest rush lets up"
Mr.. Voreis believes there will be a
serious shortage Of cars and engines
this winter when the coal rush sets in.
ANY railroad man viii tell YOU he
says. that the locomotives and cars
are in awful shape. Only such repairs
as arc absolutely necessary are being
made and it VIII be difficult to prevent a
complete breakdown Of the system
He added that people are inclined 10
joke about the advice of coal dealers Q
lay in their stocks early. but he fears
that it is going to prove a very serious
affair before the winter is over.
