GUILD RUfl OVER JD HAY DIE Little Isador Blake May Not Survive Accident Which Happened Last Week.

MANOLEO 8Y WAGON WHEEL Paralysis Sets In Child's Legs and Parents Fear the Worst In Their Gref. East Chicago, Ind., Sept. 4. As the result of injuries received from a wagon belonging to the Gary Construction Company, little Isidor Blake, the five-year-old son of W. II. Blake, residing on Todd avenue, is lying critically ill at his home and fears are expressed for his life. The child was playing in an alley in the rear of his home last Saturday when a heavy team, fortunately it was empty, ran over him, passing over the right shoulder. The team was driven by William Blair, who attempted to stop the horses, but was unable to do so. The wheels bruised the flesh terribly and dislocated the collar bone. The child was apparently improving untilWednesday when a partial paralysis settled in the' lower limbs. Last night they were so sore that they could not be touched and the little fellow, lying on the parlor couch, almost cried in his pain. The mother, who keeps tender vigil over her child, said that a high fever had been noticeable for the last two or three evenings, often ending in a partial delirium. Physicians who have been attending the bol believe he will recover if properly cared for. Mrs. Blake Is nearly distracted by the thought that her son may die and her voice, when questioned by The Times reporter, fairly shook with tender emotions. Isidor Is a lively little chap when In good health, and neighbors on Todd avenue are sincere in their sorrow that he must sutler. CONTRACTORS WILL STAiPAI THERE Gary Employes Refuse to Give Union Men Fiftyfive Cents Per Hour. At the meetinK of the contractors' association yesterday afternoon, the session only resulted In the decision to "stand pat" on the position of paying the laborers what they think that they are worth. The union men are demanding 35 cents an hour, but the contractors say that there are not enough good men in the city to warrant their adopting a general wage scale of this character. As one contractor put it: "If a man was worth 35 cents an hour we would rather have him any day than we would a 25-cent man." At the present time the contractors, with few exceptions, are in a position, they say, to let their work stand for an indefinite period in case they are forced to pay 35 cents. This assertion is contrary to the general opinion of the status of affairs, but they say that they are prepared to take an Indefinite vacation at any time. On the other hand, the laboring men are desirous of getting in all of the work that they can, but refuse to work any longer under the present scale. There is but one contractor who finds it necessary to continue his work without interruption and that is Schmidt Brothers, who are working on the pumping station. He has already employed non-union men and says he will continue to do so until the breach between the labor unions Is rectified. Among the contractors who have pulled their men off the Jobs are: Schmidt Brothers, II. A. Paine, Hess & Hiner, C. E. Pyle, Cronin Construction company, E. C. Gerhardt, and several others.

BUILDING CLAUSE iLLHFORCEO Gary Land Company Sends Out Gentle Hints to Its Real Estate Purchasers

HAS BEEN LENIENT IN PAST Owing To Depressed Conditions Contracts Were Not Enforced To letter. Activity Is Revived. Owing to the action of the Gary Land company in enforcing the building clause in their contracts for the sale of their property, the building boom has taken a firmer hold on Gary than it has done for some time past This la affecting the valuable property along Fifth avenue and Broadway more than In any other section of the city because of the fact that most oi the land disposed of by the company has been on these streets. Moit Build AVI thin 1$ Months. The clause of the contracts which the land company is beginning to enforce more stringently than ever, provides for the erection of a building to be approved by the property agent of the company before the expiration of eighteen months. Owing to the recent financial stringency and the inability of many of the purchasers to secure the necessary cash, the land company has been reticent In the enforcement of this section. Conditions Have Improved. Now, however, they feel that the purchasers of this property have had time enough and that the conditions have improved to such an extent that they will hold them to their part of the contract. So far, it has not been necessary to cancel a single contract for the violation of this section, which speaks well for the class of purchasers who have bought the choice business property of the city. If the owners of this property continue, however, to delay the erection of their buildings, it is likely that the land company will not be so reticent as they have been in the future. Just a Hint. The manner in which the land company notifies the parties of their failure to comply with the building section of the contract is to enclose that part and send it to them as a hint. This has had the desired effect and the building activities have consequently been greatly Increased. The new buildings being erected are all of an unusually high class.
