Twenty-nine bills have been Intro duced In the House thus far which, If they became laws, would either increase present salaries or create new ones. Many of the bills provide for graduated increases over present salaries while increases are provided in some of the bills designed to create new offices, hence It is difficult to make any fair estimate of the aggregate in creases. Among the bills" providing for new salaries are the following: the Williams bill providing for the appointment of a state architect and assistant with an nual salaries amounting to $6,500; the highway commission bill providing for me apoinimeni ui a. builo ihbuwhj icommssioner at a sajary or s,uuu a vear with nower to appoint salaried assistants; the Buennagel bill to create the office of state fire marshall at a salary of $3,000 a year, a first assistant at $2,500 a year and a second assistant at $1,800 a year, aggregating $7,300 annually; the Hammond bill providing for locomotive boiler Inspection, amended to provide for a salary of $2,000 a year for the inspector; the Cook court matron bill providing for the appointment of court matrons In cities, at salaries not to exceed $76 a month.

The Spencer bill provides, however for reductions of $2,500 in the state house pay rolL A number of bills for additional courts have been Introduced in the 1 House, involving additional salaries for judges thus proposed to be added to the states payroll. One or the proposed courts Is for Warrick and Gibson counties, a superior Judge, asked for by Stevens. Another provides for two additional superior court Judges for Hammond, asked for by Van Home. Another Is for a separate circuit for Sulll-

(Special to Thb Times.) Indiana Harbor, Jan. 27. Had everything been prepared with the Idea of the location of the Twin cities' latest . . . .i'i........., mi: jjuvnvji. ivw., vbbiiub. irntl D t nn , . I? . lr A v Ut,Al f ' n , I , nr iM companys plant, conditions eould not be more conducive to real estate activity than they are. , With all of the prospective improvements In the immediate vicinity of the propose plant, already provided for, and with others throughout East Chicago and Indiana Harbor indirectly affecting this locality, everything is in fine shape for unprecedented activity in real es tate. Sidewalks and other improvements will be put in along Kennedy avenue's entire length with the first signs of spring, as they will also In Chicago and Euclid avenues. The contracts for these were let last Summer and the grading for the sidewalks was done before the cold weather set in. Then there are the roads which the county Is to build. Host of these have some bearing on the locality in which the Buskeye people are to start their plant. The bonds for all of these county Improvements have been sold and the margins covered by various pub-lis-splrited concerns which are willing to shoulder a little more than their share of the expense in order to keep things moving. The following are some of the roads which there is now nothing to hinder being built in the spring. Accompanying the names of the streets are the concerns which have put up the jnoney from $3,000 to $7,500; Increasing the salary of the clerk of Madison county from $4,800 to $6,500. and the sheriff of that county from $4,600 to $7,300; increasing the salary of the cler kof Vigo from $5,600 to $9,100 and the sheriff of Vigo county from $5,300 to $8,900. The present salaries of these officials were fixed by the legislature of 1909. The Clark bill increasing the salary of the clerk of Marlon county frOm $19.500 to $25,000 a year. Senator Clark Intends to follow this with a bill Increasing the per diem of the clerk for attending court in person or by deputy from- $2 to $3 a day, which, taking into consideration would add to the clerks compensation a little more than $8,000 a year. On the other hand Senator Clark is In favor of abolishing the fee system. The Curtis bill, introduced at the re quest of the fish and game protective associations, would increase the salary of the state fish and game commission er from $1,200 to $4,000 a year. The Greenwell bill increasing the , of th aud!tor of Allen county ... from $6,500 to $10,000 a year. , The Harlan bill. . introduced by re quest, which would Increase the pay of county recorders by providing that fifty percent of all fees In excess of the amount of the salary shall be the property of the recorder. At present the recorder receives thirty percent of the excess fees. The Hauck bill increasing the salaries of prosecuting attorneys from $500 to $1,000 a year and fees, and pro vlding that in circuits in which there are more than one county the prosecutor shall receive an additional compensation of $200 for each county in excess of one. There are sixty-two Judicial circuits in the state at present. The county Superintendents bill in troduced by Senator Greenwell is de clared by members of the county superintendents association to be in no sense a salary grab but one that is Intended to put the superintendents on a straight salary basis and to increase the necesary qualifications for holding the office. However, while providing tor no In crease in salary In givng to the county commssloners the right to fix the salary t provides that the salary shall not be ess than the amount received by the superintendent received on the per diem basts during the preceding school year. It provides for $200 a year for traveling expenses. In addition the legislative visitation cbmmittee has recommended an increase of $100 in the aggregate annnal salaries of the deputies in the office of the attorney general, an increase of $5,000 a year in the salaries and ex penses in the Inspection department of the railroad commission and an increase in the clerical fund of the bureau of statistics of $1,510 a year, due to the added work because of the free employment bureau operated in connec tion with the office. The committee turned down a request for Increased salaries In th office of the reporter o the supreme and appellate courts amounting to $1,100 a year. A bill to be introduced at the request of the state board of education will provide for a new salary of $2,400 year for an inspector for non-com missioned and certified high schools.

OPEN SHOP DECLARED IN LAKE COUNTY (Continued from Page One.) sociated Building Trades of Lake and Porter counties, with Its 4,000 members will make. Two days ago the building trades entered the contest which had previously been one between five un ions allied with the building trades department of the American Federa tion of Labor. Upon the -refusal of the Employers' association to arbitrate the difficulties of the plasterers, original strikers, who had lattly been admitted to thelrranks, the associated trades began to declare general strikes against individual con tractors who refused to sign new agreements with them. One of the first hit by the order was M. L, Maxon, president of the employers' association. and Contractors Fishel and Gallagher & Williams. It was put forth by the employers' association that when the plasterers walked out in the first Instance they broke an agreement with the association which called for arbitration before strikes or walkouts. Claiming that relations had ceased between them, the employers rejected the ultimatum tht the plasterers for arbitration, claiming that it was now too late. STATEMENT BV MOB AND MAXON. President M. L. Maxon and Ingwald Moe of the arbitration committee of the employers' association this morning issued the following statement to a Times' reporter: "We have the utmost friendliness and good will for the. workingmen of the county. Our latest action Is one for our own protection. j "We want it understood that the association Is not discriminating against union men. and we shall be glad to hire all of our old union men and put them back to work. "However, we shall deal with the union men individually and not col lectively. The association will hire competent workmen without regard to whether they are union or not" FROM THE UNION CAMP. "This wil be a fight to the finish said District Business Agent W. C. Hunter, in charge of the ten carpenter unions in Lake and Porter countie and James Nedjl, local and also state president, of the Bricklayers' union." "While the carpenters voted last night to sustain the associated trades," continued Mr. Hunter, "it was merely a ratification. As a matter of fact the associated council has supreme power in cases like this over ail unions that are members of it." "We will combat the employers," declared another union official, "by submitting to them individually the new contracts. Then every one who does not sign will be subjected to the general strike order." It is expected that the decision' of the painters and carpenters . to abide
