Baldwin Locomotive works. Scattered
over the tract are concrete works in

was to have been erected six years ago.
but which has been in allegiance.
1t developed today that there is still
a large bill dua on the construction OF
those foundations. Two suits were filed
in the Hammond Superior court by the
legal firm of Knapp & Campbell OF Chi
cago, asking for judgment against the
Baldwin Locomotive works for over
$1,000 for material furnished in the
construction work
The complaint SAYS that on May Is,
1918. the Baldwin company let the con-
tract 70 the H. A Strauss company, to
do the excavating and concrete work for
the Calumet plant. Strauss & Co, then
contracted with the plaintiffs. the Uni

said
The original contract price Of the H.
A. Strauss company was s57.75o. but
$4,000 of this has been held back by
the Baldwin company because Of the
fact that the general contractor had
