because the successful defiance OF

laid directly before Judge E. H. Gary
If it IS possible to gain a personal
meeting with him.

that he would spend Friday and Sat
urday in Chicago. representatives.
of the Commercial Club will trail him
to the Windy City and upon oppor-
tunity will make their appeal for re-
lief direct to him.
The old fight against the clouds
of cement dust which settled over
East Chicago and Indiana Harbor has
been going on for years. Time and
again 1t has seemed that something
has been accomplished. But delays
III .
mise OF the company was to install
devices which would prevent the
dust from being emitted by the
stacks. Installation of these i'm
provements would be expensive and
require much time. II was said.
lhe Commercial Club decided last
night that the matter should be put
up to Mr.. Gary and in case nothing
comes from the attempt. court act
ions will be started at once to abate
the nuisance.
The club also passed a resolution
calling upon the city authorities to
require soft drink parlors and pool
rooms TO remove curtains, screens
and other distractions from the front
windows so that all parts of the
rooms will be visible from the side
walks.
