Upon reconsideration by the Lake County Building Trades association the original order calling out the men on several jobs in Hammond was countermanded and as a result the craftsmen working for J. H. McClay on the old Heinta building, Homewood, and on another McClay contract in Whiting are unmolested. The same is true of the workmen working for M. A. Dickover on the Peter W. Meyn residence In Homewood. H. P. Smith said this morning that no definite action would be taken on these contractors until possibly on Fri

day, because there apparently was some misunderstanding between the contra.c-

tors and the association's arbitration

committee. "We don't want to be ar-

in this matter," said H. P. "Up to the present time we

have only htirty men out."

The building is owned by Given, the tailor. The only explanation that could be found for the origin of the fire was that it started from a tailor's sad iron in the pressing department of the store, j but an investigation of this ahowed that the legs of the table were burned.

The abandonment of the Crumpacker bill by its author virtually means that the fate of Indiana federal court legislation has been decided for years to come. In the coming congress the democrats will be in the majority in the house and such a bill as Judge Crumpacker has championed would not stand the slightest show of passing. The bill which Crumpacker has abandoned to its fate proposed to create five federal subdivisions in Indiana and to require cases arising within each Jurisdiction to be tred at the seat of Justice in that subdvlslon.
