Illinois Nut & Bolt Co. Employing 100 Men Will Locate on Site Already Purchased

Hammond has landed another in- ant of the car manufacturing compa-

dustry. It is known as the Illinois Nut and Bolt Co. It will employ between 50 and 100 men and will occupy a $40,000 plant on part of the site that has already been purchased for the Illinois Car Mfg. Co. The news that the plant had been located was received In Hammond through a telegram that Peter W. Meyn of Gostlin, Meyn & Co.. sent to his partners in business here from Chicago. For the pest two weeks Qostlin, Meyn & Co. have been working on this deal and today were pleased to make known the fact that their plans have fceen consummated. The Illinois Nut and Bolt Co. is independent of the Illinois Car Manufacturing Co., but P. H. Joyce, the presl-

ny. Is also president of the nut and bolt

company. Mrs. M. L. Hunt is the secretary and treasurer of the company. CHOOSES HAMMOND LOCATION. The products of the new concern are forgings, bolts and nuts, and will be sold to the market all over the country. The plant is already a going concern and is located at Thirty-fifth and Ashland boulevard. The decision to move to Hammond was made because the Illinois Nut and Eolt Co. could make a much more faorable lease here and has Just as good facilities fori the distribution of its product. It is expected that the work of constructing the new plant will begin within thirty days and the company will be in operation before fall. This is the second time that the north side has scored in the landing of industries, and this is expected to mean much in the development of this territory. Much credit Is due Oostlln. Meyn A Co. for landing the concern.

was granted but the money does not represent additional appropriations but

merely a fund to take up current debts.

REPLIES TO G0ISTR1K

Building Trades Council's President Denies Allegations Made By Contractors Matters To Be Discussed At Meeting.

MAPLE TREES HURT BY "COTTOII SCALE" Hammond Manufacturers Forced To Spray Trees To Save Them.

H. P. Smith, president of the Associated Building Trades Council, in discussng the organzation movement

among the various contractors all over

the county to protect themselves against undue demands by the unions,

says that the fear of the contractors is unwarranted. Of all the building trade

organizations, only one, according to Mr. Smith, is asking for an increase of wages at the present time. All organisations, excepting the plumbers, have annual contracts and it would be out of the question to violate any of the contracts.

The Building Trades Council holds a

meeting tomorrow night In Hammond, In Ruff's hall, the object of the meeting being to discuss this Very problem

which the contractors say confront

them, and also to appoint delegates to a conference with the contractors. Mr. Smith pointed out today a condition to which the master plumbers' association subjects' the public It is this, that no master plumber will permit any of his men to do any plumbing work if the material for such work has not been bought from a member of the master plumbers' association. Thus, it will be Been that It avails a man nothing to buy a bathtub, for Instance, from a Chicago wrecking house, even if he could get a half price, for none of the local plumbers would connect the tub for him.

of. McAleer Cauaea Surprise. The surprise of the evening was easily vested in the street car franchise asked by Attorney William J. McAleer of Hammond. Mr. McAleer wants nearly every avenue in Gary and would even run cars down the effete thoroughfare known as Jackson street. In addition he will start to build this line in thirty months (not days by a long shot) complete it in thirty more (months, to be sure). Expressed in Other words five years 1915. He came along with a proposition to sprinkle the streets, put up a bond of $10,000 and forfeit his rights to streets not being used when the time agreement expired. Can't "Railroad" Interurban. Frank Gavlt president of the Gary and Interurban railway was at the meeting and Mr. Gavlt was declared to be the real father of Mr. McAleer's franchise. It is said that the latter's little request is nothing more than the Gavit baby with new clothes on it all carefully planned to suit Alderman Castleman who was formerly vice president of the Gary and Interurban line and the gentleman who last night succeeded In advancing it to a second reading. All of this met the displeasure of Alderman Feuer and no little excitement was created when in answer

B. Jensen and others want a cement walk laid on north side of Ridge road from Broadway to Harrison street. 2. The Indiana Land company and others want the same walk extended eastward from Broadway to Georgia street. 3. A seventeen-foot cement sidewalk is wanted on both side of Forty-first avenue. George Earle and the Indiana

Land company are the petitioners. 4. F. W. Delavan and others want a six-foot walk on both sides of Massachusetts street from Ridge road to Thirty-sixth avenue. 5, A six-foot cement walk is wanted on the south side of Thirty-seventh avenue from Broadway to Delaware street. The South Broadway Land company is one of the petitioners. City Engineer Melton was instructed to draw plans for the improvements and action will be taken on the contracts just as soon as possible.

File Divorce Suit. Atorneys Ross and Lots secured & divorce for their client. Pansy Alice Miller from her husband, Samuel Cornelius Miller on the grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment. The divorce was granted in the Lake Superior court this morning.

Mapl4 trees in Hammond have become infested with what is known as the "cotton scale." W. B. Conkey of the W. B. Conkey Co. was the first to

discover the fact, and is now spraying The all of bis trees to save them from destruction. The cotton scale may be recognized by little balls of cotton which are attached to the leaves of the trees. These little balls are cocoons, contain thousands of eggs, which will soon hatch and the trees will then be covered with green worms. These worms attack the tender places in the leaves of the trees, and by taking out the sap kill the leaves. The only way the trees can be saved is to spray them with a solution of kerosene, soap and water. Several years ago the cotton scale attacked the soft maple trees in Lincoln park and a number of them were killed before steps were taken to save them. It is believed that the trees In Harrison park and on the residential streets in Hammond will be killed unless steps are taken at once to have them sprayed. The spray that is used by W. B. Conkey is composed of one pound of soap, three gallons of kerosene and one gallon of water, used as a 10 per cent solution.

Congressman Crumpacker in answer to the petition forwarded him by the

members of the W. IL Calkins G. A. R.

post, has sent the following letter to Kdward C. Weeks, the latter having forwarded the petition which asked for a dollar a day pension. "Washington, D. C, June 22. Mr. Edward C. Weeks, Hammond. Ind. My Dear Sir: I have your letter of the 20th inst. enclosing a petition signed by a large number of members of W. H. Calkins Post, G. A. R. at Hammond, requesting the enactment of a dollar a day pension law for veterans of the civil war. I will refer your petition to the committee on Invalid Pensions for consideration. I am and have been for seevral years In favor of a dollar a day pension for civil war veterans and have been ready at all times to support a bill of that kind whenever I had an opportunity to do so.

1 "Under the rules of the house, however, no bill can be considered in the house until It has been referred to the proper committee and reported back for action. There are ten or twelve dollar-a-day pension bills pending with the committee on Invalid Pensions, but that committee has failed so far to report any one of these bills, and it is not at all likely that any such a bill will be reported now, because it is too late in the session. I am not a member of the Invalid Pensions and, therefore, am not responsible for the failure of that committee to give congres san opportunity to act upon one of those measures. I hope under a new rule that was adopted in the house a few days ago, that early In the next session of congress we will be able to get up one of the dollar-a-day pension bills. I will do my best to bring It about. "With best wishes, I am sincerely yours, 'E. D. CRUMPACKER."

No Clue Is Found. No clew has as yet ben discovered by the police as to the ones who entered the First Methodist church last Saturday night. The police feel satisfled that if the work was done by home talent that the fellows will be caught sooner or later, whereas if it was the work of out of town burglars they are undoubtedly safe beyond the precincts of the city.
