1,000 IDLE AT EAST CHICAGO

Men Laid Off at Rolling Mill of the Inland Steel Corporation. East Chicago, Ind., Oct. B.—-More than 1,000 men are out of work in the East Chicago district as the result of their being laid off at the rolling mill of the Inland Steel corporation here. It is generally believed that this action by the steel corporation foreshadows a general slowing up in the industries throughout the Calumet region.
