PICKETING LOSES CITY AH INDUSTRY Men in All Life Walks Ap proach Mayor to Use Ef fort to Effect a Settle ment of Labor Trouble. That the presence of strike pickets loitering on the streets of Hammond In front of its three department stores Is doing the city an immense amount of damage was demonstrated beyond doubt or cavil early this week when the prospective locators of a fine In dustry in the city deliberately refused to consider Hammond any further and ttruck it off their list of cities with out any ceremony. Prominent Hammond men have for a long time been trying to locate the In dustry here and with good chances of success. Negotiations for a site had already been entered Into between rep resentatives of the Industry in ques tion and operators of a local real estat-j agincy and officials cf tha manufac turing concern came to Hammond and were shown the site where It was pro posed to locate them. JtlST WHAT THEY WERE AVOIDING They were satisfied with it and sat isfied with the price and suggested that they wanted to see Hammond intimately to see what kind of a city it was in which they were asked to cast their lot. They were much struck with the buildings, streets, parhs. manufactories and stores, but as they were being driven on State and Hoh man streets they noticed the girl strike pickets and forthwith inquired as to them. The real estate men had no other thing than to tell them that they were pickets on strike seeking to keep pecple from entering the storte and a representative of the company emphatically said: "That won't do. we're sorry, but we will not locate In a town that has labor trouble. That Is Just what wo seek to avoid. We would not locate here under any con sideration now." A DEPLORABLE rxCIDEXT. Prominent men of the city when In formed of the incident were outspoken in their regret that Hammond should have lost its most excellent opportunity for locating a live industry because of the presence of pickets on the streets and were emphatic Sa denunciation cil it. They recalled the damage that was done to the city cf Hammond by the steel strike and how It gave the city a black eye among manufacturers seeking sites for Industrial purposes. They are demanding that something be done to put a stop to the picketing and its consequences. Window smash ing, stink bombs and the sticker nuis ance and a concerted move is being made for immediate action. They de clare that the proprietors of tae harassed department stores have buht up their business and have a right to conduct it as they see fit. RIGHT TO Rl OWN BCSIES9 "These men, said one civic leader, "have put their money la a business, they have, formulated a plan to get trade and have succeeded. Their ef forts have met with approval and now these strikers want to take busi ness out of their hands and ruin them. It is not right any way you look at it. There are no large organized depart ment stores in other parts of the country and why should these outside agitators InCict this vlsltatloa upon Hammond?" An effort is being made to end ths trouble. Men la all walks of life have approached the mayor to use his good offices in getting the interested parties together for a settlement and It Is un derstood that the city's chief execu tive who enjoys the confidence of tho people is considering a plan of action.

Caraway, Democrat from Arkansas, served four terms, and McKinley, Republican from Illi nois, served eight terms. S. W. SIDE Now that Hammond's fire depart ment is completely motorized the next big- improvement In the service to be asked will probably be the Installa tion of a new station In the south west part of the city. The need for this station has been realized for a long time and several t'mes the matter has been discussed, but without action looking toward re sults. The business district has moved steadily south on . Hohman street, while the residence districts to the south and southwest have been built up closely. The necessity for better fire protection is becoming impera tive. Hammond's peculiar situation with regards to the railroads makes It pos sible for all the territory lying south ajid west of the Erie and Monon rail toads to be cut ' off from the city's four fire stations at one time. Here is an example: Supposing one of the long freights Is leaving the Erie yards for Chicago. When the engine has crossed the Michigan Central tracks. Hohman. State, Sibley, Fayette. Russell, Clinton and Douglas streets are blocked. Now supposing a freight train is also pull ing out of the out"i end of the yards. That will block Highland street and Conlsey avenue. It Is nothing unusual for this to happen. This example deals with only the Erie railroad while there are still tha trains of the Michigan Central. Nickel Plate. Monon and C. & O. to be reckoned with. Recently the Central station depart ment made six runs in one day and In four of these they were held up from three to fifteen minutes by freight trains. Man; advance the argument that the fire chief has au thority to order a train cut at a cross itg in such an emergency. He has. hut when members of the train crew are at the distant ends of the train It is lmpo3sib".e to find any one to issue the order to. Besides broken draw bars and defects In the air brakes frequently halt trains on crossings for half an hour in which the cars can not be moved. Thus with all of the city's fine mo torized fire fighting equipment it would be possible for a fire right in the business district to go unchecked while precious minutes were being lost because of freight trains. The West Hammond department has been gen erous in landing a hand several times and can be depended to aid whenever possible in the future, but the Illinois outfit may r.ot always be available v. hen needed as there are fires to fight thers also. The remedy suggested by the ma jority of people who have given it thought Is to locate a new station in Homewood or even farther south, which could answer all calls in the business district the same as the No. 4 station oa South Calumet avenue now does.

TRUNK Terrible Scenes Inacted In Toronto When Trains Meet In INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE TORONTO. Ont., Nov. 26. At least four persons, possibly seven, are dead, and a score Injured as a result of oo of the worst train wrecks this section has witnessed in years. Grank Trunk night express No. 1. bound from Mon treal to this city, was derailed near York, a few miles from Toronto. While the wreck occurred last night, the rescue work did cot get under way until today and the salvagers still are confronted with gTeat difficulties for the crash reduced part of the train to splinters. Beneath mass of debris bodies are burled, but no one knows as yet exactly how many. Two have been extricated and two ethers are sighted. The rescue workers concen trated their efforts first vpon saving the Injured, many of whom were pinned under steel and shrieking piteously for help. The bodies removed from the wreck age so far are those of Nathanial Brown, a Pullman porter, and an un identified man of abosft 30. A corps of doctors and nurses from Toronto ana nearby places were rushed to the scene and are working feverishly. One body known to be still pinned under the wreckage is that of a woman. Seven f the express train's cars were completely hurled off the track. Three were day coaches, three Pullman sleeping cars and one a baggage car. The screams and groans of the In jured and dying rang through the still ness of the night causing great excite ment for miles about, where the crash also had been heard. The scene of the wreck being considerably out of tha way, much of the rescue work had to be done under primitive conditions. Lanterns gave the workers the only light until day broke. Extreme cau tion had to be exercised in extricating the wounded, for a false move might have meant death Instead of rescue. The versions of the cause of the wreck are many. The most reliable appears to be that a freight engine on an adjoining track side-swiped the passenger coaches when the express train passed at a terrific speed. Then, it is said, before danger signals could be set, a west bound freight train plowed into the coaches that had toppled over onto the freight track. , HARBOR MAN ON TRIAL Konstanty Grrankowski.
