INDUSTRIES
ARE AFTER
MORE ROOM

When the Wolff Manufacturing Co.
movedafrom its old quarters in West
Hammond in the new building west
of Holman street. and north of the
Michigan Central tracks in Ham
mond, the old building at Lincoln
and Plummer avenues was vacant
for long time.
Then two new industries sprung
up which took over the deserted
plant and are now clamoring fer
| more room. They are the State
Tailoring Co., and the Swanstrom
Water System CO. Comparatively
few people know OF their existence
yet both are thriving and furnishing
employment to several hundred peo-
pie.
The State Tailoring Co. is backed
by West Hammond capital. Bob
Jirks, the manager has had the plant
running for two months. Mems
clothing is the output. There are
now more than 100 men and girls
employed in the plant and probably
twenty five women are doing work
IN their homes.
I'VE are now turning out 500 suits
OF clothes a week with these 125
employees said Manager Jirks to-
day, and as soon as we get more
space we will increase the force to
500. We expect to turn out 1000
suits week. We sell to the big
wholesalers and our product is meet
ing with a ready market"
In another part of the building is
the Swanstrom Water System Co. i.

and general manager. The COM

tsTAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. sEEVicEl
NEW YORK, March 20-All an
thracite coal mines viii close on
April LIST and $4,000 mine workers
will put into effect their promise
made at the Shamokin convention
OF q suspension until they have a
new agreement with the operators
This Is the view of John l.. Lewis,
chief of the miners, and of S. D.
Warmer. spokesman of the oper-
ators.
Mine workers charge that respon-
sibility rests entirely on the heads
Of the coal companies. President
Lewis said today that the sub-com-
mitee named to discuss anthracite
problems with the operators was
ready at yesterdays session to star
conferences at once. Delay came
not to the surprise, but to the dis
appointment Of the miners when
operators moved for adjournment
until next Tuesday. Delaying tao
ties is what the miners say of the
operators program. and such a pro-
gram. they claim. makes a suspen-
sion inevitable.
Lewis and his sub committee have
decided to remain on the ground
and be ready for any call They
will hold meetings between now
and Tuesday. adding the finishing
touches to their case.
In the ranks of the miners IL is
claimed that the eyes of the opera
tors have been riveted on the bitu-
minous situation. Now that Lewis
and Vice President Phil Murray are
preparing q call for 100000 btu
minous workers TO quit work April
LIST. Because the operators have
refused to negotiate there is the
chance the anthracite coal owners
will change their policy and speed
up the conference here.
Miners are expecting that when
the work Of the committees get
under way Tuesday. operators will
gradually lead to the point where
they will ask for a decrease OF
about fifteen percent in wages. a
mass of figures that Jett Lauck,
statistician. has been gathering for
many weeks, will be used to offset
any such demand.
