Haff, president of the Long Island Railroad association, has said: "Thirty-live year ago the Young Men's Christian Association wakened in both employer and employee a sense of the great danger to life and property lurking in the continual existence of reprehensible conditions undr which railway men lived when away from homo between their runs. Today tens of thousands of railroad men on whose physical and moral condition depends the safety of millions of lives daily find in the Railroad Association attractive and comfortable homes for leisure hours. Train crews are sent out, clean, well slept and alert men who have enjoyed physical exercise, recreation and Christian fellowship in these places which have supplanted the saloon and gaming place."

In Lake County's circuit court at Crown Point will bo decided in the near future two big legal questions, the first one having never come up in an Indiana court before and the second as to the right of the Chicago Lake Shore & Eastern railroad company to condemn certain lands adjacent to the new town of Gary, which is now owned by the meat trust, particularity by J. Ogden Armour, and Edward Morris and Swift and company. As the Chicago, Lake Shore & Eastern railroad is operated by the "steel trust" the fight that is now on Is virtually a light between two huge trusts. The two corporations came together yesterday In the United States court at Indianapolis before Judge Anderson. The latter as referee decided in favor of the steel corporation. The question involved was whether or not the condemnation suit brought by the Chicago, Lake Shore & Eastern Railway company against Valentine Veeder of Chicago, who holds as trustee certain land in northern Indiana for J. Ogden Armour, Edward Morris and Swift & Co., should be transferred to the federal court from the Crown Point circuit court. Judge Anderson held that the suit must remain where it is. The land in question was purchased by the packing interests of Chicago years ago with a view to constructing yards in Indiana. The land lies in the vicinity of Gary. Companies Fall Out. The steel corporation in the name of Its railroad bought some of this land some time ago and then decided it wanted more. One" of the company's plants is located on part of the land. The two "interests" fell out over the purchase price of the last tract it was sought to buy. The owners wanted $2,500 an acre for the land while the steel corporation offered only $750. Condemnation proceedings were brought In the courts at Crown Point. The defendants then asked that the case be removed to the United States court on the ground that the complainant was an Indiana corporation while the defendants were citizens of Illinois. In Another State. Judge Anderson decided that both parties to the proceedings were "citlaens" of the state of Illinois. Several years ago the steel corporation consolidated two of Its railroads the Chicago, Lake Shore & Eastern and the Chicago & Blue Island. The latter was the larger system. Judge Anderson held yesterday that on account of the peculiar wording of the agreement when the consolidation was formed the Chicago & Blue Island road swallowed up the other in a sense and the railway corporation became an Illinois concern. As a result of Judge Anderson's decision the condemnation proceedings will not come to the federal court, but will be tried at Crown Point. The Fault-Finder.
