tary Davis on the basis of reports
from a meeting Of the Chicago policy

by President Jewell. Mr., Davis added
he was informed the settlement would
affect $4,000 miles of track and other
department heads said a total OF
Gfy.two roads were affected
Officials at the labor department
said it was probable twelve additional
roads would adjust their differences
and resume normal service. The
roads which already have signed with

services OF practically all workers
who went out on general strike.
CHICAGO, Sept ia decision on

learned from the head of one Of the
unions.
Efforts of union attorneys to fore
stall the reading of 10000 affidavits
of violence by the government failed
again. The court warned the govern

clothes officers waited outside OF
the church with a warrant for his
arrest. No they would not intrude
upon the wedding ceremonies, but
waited until it was over. Then
Eliza and his bridesmaid followed
the bride and groom out Of the
church.
Commotion followed when the
officers tapped Eliza on the arm.

ROTARY |NDORSES
AMALGAMAT|ON
(BY RoTARIAN)

The desire for the anal ganlation
Of Hammond and East Chicago.
which has long been dormant be-
cause of the legal barriers in the
way, is reviving now that the way
is open to determine the Will of the
people. Civic organizations repre-
senting all parts of the two cities
are actively discussing the matter
and a thorough understanding Of
the proposition Is being secured.
The Chambers of Commerce Of
the two cities are arranging for a
joint debate.
The Rotary club. composed or
business men from the two cities,
has gone on record in favor of the
project. The Rotary Club is willing
to join with any or all other civic
clubs in working out plan and
putting the plan through.
Hammond and East Chicago are
one geographically and industrially
Amalgamation means unity of gov
ernment.
The support Of this government
comes from taxes and 1t Is apparent
that the substitution of one organi-
cation in place of two will reduce
the expense of administration and
hence. taxes.
Civic problems which are control
led by municipal officers are mutual
to the two cities.
Among the most important of
these problems Is the question Of
transporting working people from
Hammond TO East Chicago and vice
versa. The Traction Company, buss
lines and paved roads are the only
means Of accomplishing this. We
have had ten years OF slow progress
on this question due to the fact
that the subject Is controlled by
two organizations.
The two cities are separated by
telephone toll charge.
The problem of schools. parks.
sewers, water supply and public
health are closely related and
should be consolidated.
Now that several organizations
have considered the question favor
ably and are willing to join other
organizations in solving this ques-
tion, we can expect some early pro-
gress in this matter.
