Convention at Gary Results in Reopening of Old Hurts Which Bodes 111 For Party Harmony Minority Hold Indignation Meeting.

It was a goodly number of democrats, that gathered in Assembly hall

last . night to elect delegates to the

democratic county convention at Gary

on Wednesday.

All the old time party leaders, the

i rivals of the local democracy who

fought for the democratic rooster last fall, were present with Mayor T. E. Knotts and William C. Crolius. The meeting was short and spicy and there were no signs of warfare, which is an unmistakable sign that the trouble will

come later. In fact the meeting was so short that the Crolius democrats hardly knew when it was over and when the smoke of the battle had cleared away It was found that not a single Crolius democrat delegate had been selected. And while the committee repaired to the ante room to prepare the list of delegates Mayor Knotts extolled the

Gould late of Indiana Harbor was ' named as a delegate. Gould has always been a staunch republican. I Gould stated to a Times reporter, 1m-

mediately after the meeting, tnat ne ; was as much surprised as any one else when his name was announced as a delegate. "Why I am a republican," said Attorney Gould, "and I can't see why they selected me as a delegate, I was invited to the meeting at Assembly

i hall, by Mayor Knotts and really did

not know what it was about until I reached the hall."

Thirty-three delegates were select

ed to the county convention next Wed

nesday as also were delegates to the joint representative, joint senatorial

and judicial convention. At the close

of the evening's meeting Alderman W.

S. Feuer, a member of, the resolutions

committee said that he was ready to

report. Every one expected that the republican party would be given an

other jolt but they were -disappointed, when Alderman Feuer read the resolution Indorsing "the economical judicius

and wise administration of our Mayor

Thomas E. Knotts," etc.?

While Mayor Knotts In his speech

extolled the virtues of the' democratic

candidate for Congress John B. Peter son, the resolution committee completely forgot to Indorse him whether by

design or accident It could not be learned.

MATT BREAKS

THE SABBATH

(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, Ind., Aug. 30. Matt Zernber was fined $1 and costs yesterday for Sunday desecration. He was found Stinday in Forsyth avenue with a bloody nose and a jag. His shirt was torn and there was plenty of evidence that he had participated in a

fight. He paid his fine without a murmur, but swore out a counter warrant 1 against Ignatius Wolan, whom he charged was responsible for his condition when arrested.

The revival in operations at the Gary steel plant is not expected to take place before the end of September according to official reports, and no additional blast furnaces wil. be put in operation until that time. There are four furnaces now in operation and two others ape ready to blow In at any time, while a third is nearly complete. Axel Mill Ready to Start.

ine new axle mill which has a ca

pacity of 20,000 axels per day has -peen in operation for some time, but so far has not turned out any finished product owing to the finishing machines not being installed. Some 3,000 or 4,000 axels ' have heen turned out and are now awaiting the finishing touches.

It is thought the mill will be turning out finished product within 10 days. The two merchant mills, are still in operation and the; two others ordered

built by the steel corporation about

two months ago are being rushed. It was thought that the two bar mills would be ready for operation by September 1st but it'vjill be November-15th before they will Vbe , able; to turn out finished material. r Although the local pay rolls have shown a decrease for the past two months, it is more than probable that they will increase from this time on. The curtailment at the local mills has

been so small that it has hardly been noticable and is due to no other reason than the usual summer slackness that gate and even some of the prominent is now prevalent in all the corporation mills. Croactry. In Sufficient.

Manufacturers argue that the present

capacity of the steel mills and furnaces will be sufficient to take care, of any increased consumption for several years to come, unless there is a phenomenal boom. This is not a weak point for the

steel companies. It will mean that they will be in a position " to strengthen

their working capital. Also , that with

smaller outlays for building, the sur

plus available , for dividends at the

end of each year will be larger. The

United States-' Steel Corporation has

been spending at the rate of $50,000,000 a year for new construction over the

last five years. It is doubtful If its outlay this year, for the same purpose will exceed $35,000,000, and next year it will be less. Constmrllon In Eatern District. The Duluth plant will round out the construction plans of the -rHeel Corporation in the West, and as a result the Eastern districts for the next several years are likely to enjoy a larger amount of construction work proportionately than has been the case since the great mills of the corporation in the Gary district were started. The Jones & Laughlin Co. has practically

completed its construction work. The Bethlehem Steel Corporation and the Republic Iron & Steel Co. will finish its work under way this year, and the

same can be said of the tamnria bteei j Co. It is unlikely that the Steel Cor- i poratlon or the large independent com- j panies will have any important con-j

struction plans to announce ior next year. . ... . ' ...
