LIBS TORN FROM VICTIM Dies at St. Margaret's Hospital Within a Half Hour After Reaching It. (Special to Thb Times). Indiana Harbor, Ind., Sept. 15. While 500 of his fellow employes were eating their noonday lunch at the Inland mills yesterday noon, John Ivan, a Roumanian, aired 30 years, suffered injuries which proved fatal. The sight imposed upon them km pitiful in the extreme and it iras with difficulty that even strong men could restrain their emotions. Ivan Is a laborer employed In tha busheling mill of the Inland company and according to the story told by his fellow workmen, was struck by a huge piece of machinery belonging to one of the mommoth traveling cranes. The heavy steel weighed at least Ave tons and Ivan was thrown to the ground by the force of the forty-foot drop. His right arm was cut off between the elbow and shoulder and the jagged bones and muscles lay exposed to view In an intermingled mass. Injuries Frightful. The right leg was also struck by a heavy iron and crushed to a pulp. He was also severely bruised and battered about the body, while a large contusion on the top of his head assisted In bringing a fatal termination to his injuries. Dr. "William E. Greenwald was called to the plant office in the absence of the company's physician, Dr. J. A. Teegarden. Dr. Greenwald did all he could to relieve the foreigner's intense suffering and upon the arrival of Dr. Teegarden it was decided to remove Ivan to St. Margaret's hospital in Hammond. Mortician Teal's red cross ambulance was called into play and in a mad rush with death, carried Ivan to the Hammond hospital. Accompanied by two physicians, the ride was made in less than 45 minutes and for half an hour after their arrival the doctors worked with ceaseless vigil over their patient. All Efforts Fail. Despite their strongest efforts, death was apparent and Ivan died half an hour after reaching the hospital. He was immediately Teturned to the Teal morgue where Coroner E. R. Gordon of Hobart will conduct an inquest tomorrow. It is not known whether the victim of the unfortunate accident is a married man or not, although members of a local Roumanian organization declare that they will, make every effort to locate his heirs. Ivan was a resident of the large boarding house at the corner of One Hundred and Thirtyseventh and Cedar streets, known as the "Castle Roumania." SOUTH BAY HOTEL PASSES INTO NEW HANDS.

Kelr Hardie, member of the British Parliament, who is in Xew York, is not much impressed with the Injunction plank liven labor by Bryan.' In a statement he says it is not "worth the paper on which It is written; that It is a meaningless form of words, and that any lawyer In the Vnlted States knows that were It to become a law tomorrow, injunctions would issue under It as freely as they do at present. In England the same attempts were made by the party politicians to fool the workers," continued Mr. Hardie. "But the trade unionists refused to be cajoled and In the end the politicians had to give way and permit the trades disputes act of the labor party to become a. law."

ARMISTICE HAS BEEKDEGLARED Labor Troubles at Gary Promise to End Permanently in Near Future. SYW1PATHY WITH THE UNIONS Confusion of Statements 'In Settlement Story Makes Solution a Hard One to Get At. Although the labor difficulties between the building trades of Gary and the contractors of that city cannot be said to have been settled at this stage of the game an armistice has been declared and it is believed that there will be a permanent settlement of the difficulties before long. Between 400 and 500 men went back to work yesterday pending the final settlemnet, which it is confidently believed by all parties to the disagree ment will be made in a couple of weeks. The terms of the temporary agreement are that the laborers shall receive 35 cents an hour for their work, or exactly what they contended for. It is understood that already some of the contractors have agreed to pay the scale demanded by the laborers and have signed an agreement with H. P. Smith, the business agent, to that effect. Denies Plan to Arbitrate. There seems still to be a misunderstanding regarding the prospective terms of settlement. C. H. Maloney says the men have all gone back to work but his understanding of the present situation is that they are going back to work pending the arbitration of their difficulties. Business Agent Smith, however, denies that there is a prospect of arbitration. He says that the laborers will not make any concessions and that the terms of the unions must be accepted eventually. The strike is one of the most confused affairs that has even taken place in this county, but the strike itself has been conducted along orderly lines on all sides and there has been no disorder or rioting. The business interests of the city appreciate this and for this reason their sympathy is in a great many cases with the unions. BEWARE OF OINTMENTS FOR CATARRH THAT CONTAIN MERCURY as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co ' Toledo, O., contains no mercury, and is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. In buying Hall's Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is taken internally and made in Toledo Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co. Testimonials frte. Sold by Druggists. Price 75c' per bottle. Take Hall's Family Pills for consti pation sides Mr. Cothrey on the committee who went to Hammond last night were, M. M. Duchich, John Prashak and James Mather. The number of foreigners which the two parties are securing the first papers for. Indicates that there will be vote at Gary way beyond expectations. It i estimated that there will be total of nearly a thousand foreign votes at the coming election which will make the vote in Gary far greater factor than It was at first supposed. The fight over the foreign vote is more bitter than any other class, they are considered the uncertain quantity. All expenses of the foreigners who come to Hammond to be naturalized are paid by the parties. who take them there.

MEYER CONFESSES ALL Bigamist at East Chicago Acknowledges That the Judge Has It On Him. (Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Sept. 15. Sandor Meyer, the alleged bigamist, has confessed his guilt, while laboring under tne impression that the $500 bond imposed upon him was in the nature of a fine and that he would not have to stand troal in the superior court. "Well, it's all oil with me," he said to a friend last night. "The judge was too smart for me and I suppose I will have to serve out that J500." Myer tried to introduce evidence that he had been granted a divorce by the Catholic church in the old country, but was told that the churcr did not permit divorces of any kind. He presisted in this declaration, however, until last night, when he confessed to his marriage with the first wife. "I was never divorced," he told Judge Reiland, "and I wish I hadn't said anything about that part of it." When told that he would have to stand trial anyway, Meyer was sorry he had made the confession and attempted to retract his staements. They were heard, however, by several of his friends, who will act as witnesses in the superior court trial. Meyer's sec ond wife will attempt the removal of ties binding her to him, it is said, and will probably petition the church for an absolute dvorce. SIXTEEN TEAMSTERS GO OUT ON STRIKE Lowell, Ind., Sept. 15. Sixteen teams which are working on the gravel roads near here were taken ofT the work by their owners for the reason that they were getting only $2 a load for a seven mile haul. The team owners want $2.50 a load for the haul, as they say they can only make two . hauls a day and $4 is not very much pay for a man with a team. Yesterday afternoon a deed was secured from the Tolleston Gun club for the. strip of land south of the Calumet river, which it was necessary to secure before the road could be widened and filled up to grade. This strip of land has been a point of contention over which the real estate holders and the club have been wrangling . ever since the appropriation for the new bridge was secured from the county council. The deed which is said to be satisfactory was procured from the directors of the club after a conference with E. J. Bufflngton. The securing of this deed will annul the annexation measure which was recently passed by the town board and submitted to the county commissioners to pass upon Immediately should Mr. Buffington be unsuccessful in securing the deed. The annexation of the property was determined upon in this event c that the land could be condemned

LABOR NEWS The Alaskan fisheries now give employment to more than five thousand fishermen, the majority, of whom are now organized. A few years ago there were scarcely any unionized fishermen engaged in the Alaskan districts. The National Miners' Federation of France, with a total membership of eighty thousand men, has decided to affiliate with the General Federation of Labor for the purpose of acquiring greater strength and influence over legislation. Under the new labor law, promulgated this year by Italy, persons of either sex under twelve years of age are not permitted to engage in building operations, outside work of any kind, in mines or tunnels, nor In any industrial establishment. ' Uncle Sam Is the country's greatest employer of labor, with 1,623,518 names on his payroll. Of these 286,902 are in the executive slvil service; 75,577 in the postal service; 62,663 are postmasters, 60,000 are in the army; 38,000 in the navy; 18,376 laborers in navy yards; 30,000 employed on the Panama canal; 10,000 in the reclamation service; 25,000 are on the miscellaneous list and 1,017,000 on the pension list. The condition of the working class families in some of the manufacturing towns of Holland is eplorable. Wages are extremely low, and the standard of life cannot be maintained unless mother and children take their places In the factory, side by side with the hea'' of the household. ' In most cases, as soon as the Dutch law allows tha child to leave school, which is at the age of 12 years, e must enter the factory or workshop. The most recent child labor legislation in Canada is the act passed at the last session of the British Columbia legislature. Under this law no boy under 14 or no girl under 15 may be employed in a factory except in the canning of fruit or fish. The exception in the fish and fruit industries applies only during the "runs" of the various classes of fish or during the fruit seasons. On the other hand there is no limitation in hours in these industries. Conditions do not seem to be favorable to the movement for reducing the hours of work. nr tot; ' havr time ttjiiiv to PAGE 7 AND HEAT THB WAST ADS. b the city and the club forced to ac cede to their demands.
