ONE HUNDRED FACTORIES COMING. There are aaid to be more than one hundred factory Kites in the hands of the ateel corporation official from companies Just like the Pittsburg Bolt A

Screw company. Recognizing: tha stragetlc location of Gary companies representing the various Interests allied to the iron and steel business have made applications for sites in the coming steel center of the world. And, more applications continue to come every week. WHY COMPANY LEFT PITTSBURG. It is not a matter o"f sentiment thai Induced the steel corporation to pour cne hundred million dollars over a wilderness of sand dunes and scrub oaks and create thereon the most modern steel plant ever built and the mosy up-to-date city on the American continent. Neither is it sentiment that leads the Pittsburg Bolt & Screw company to shut down its factory in the shadow of the great Carnegie mills and come to Gary. ECONOMY THE MAGNET. The word "economy" tells the story briefly. Economy in cost of production is the magnet for the steel trust. If the greatest business corporation ever conceived finds that it can make steel

cheaper here than any place else in the world and thus lssuesa potent ukase making Gary its capital, why should not lesser concerns profit by the same advantage? They will. HAVE RESERVED FACTORY SITES. Realizing that within a short time scores of minor industries making iron

and steel products would be attracted to Gary, the steel corporation has set aside more than a thousand acres for factory sites. This land is located in all parts of the city. One division of it is in the northeast section, south of .the. coke ovens. Another division is soutn of the Wabash tracks and east of Broadway. A third plot is west of the new second subdivision or south of the Buffington cement plant. Thus the gigantic Indiana Rteel plant will be th radiating point of scores of industries. The thing may l'e graphically represented if a fan is called to mind. Its central point will be the steel plant and:the converging ribs and intervening places constitute the allied industries which will use the

concentration of plants means profits

and all of this is to be had here. The

Pittsburg Bolt & Screw company will

be able to take the the molten metal and billets direct from the steel plant without any costly transportation charges. Time is gained and money is saved. It is not a scoring prediction to say that Gary will five years hence be the seat of 150 industries of all sizes.

But in Jtody Zigarac's and his fel

low countrymen's case it Is different.

If Rody's wife speaks a foreign tongue

ARBITRATION WILL SETTLE DIFFICULTY

Employers and employes will meet tonight In the Gary hotel to settle their difflulties. Instead of the old-fashioned strike cool-headedness and arbitration will prevail. The committee representing the Retail Clerks Protective association of America will meet a similar committee of Gary business men. Their

object will be to arrange an amicable settlement of the evening closing ques

tion. Some of the merchants object to hav

ing their stores closed three and four

evenings In a week claiming that it hurts business. The rest are willing to abide by their contracts with the clerks union but would have to also remain open to protect themselves If their competitors do so. In order to adjust the difficulties the clerks will make concessions and it is said that the merchants will be equally courteous. Tonights conference is expected to settle the differences finally and decisively.

Political Jobs. .There will be a scramble oft among the politicians in Gary when the city is given fifteen more precincts by the

re-districting, which the coumy commissioners are going to make. This will make a total of twenty-two precincts. One committeeman is allotted to every 200 voters and" at the last election enough ballots were cast to increase the city committeemen to twenty-two. , -
