Five hundred men are idle in Lansing and Bernice and will remain so until the new scale has been adjusted. ' Wilt Higher Wages. The effects of the railroad strike were felt as early as last night. Trains running through Hammond via the Western Indiana road were delayed last night, and are late today. It was thought that an early settlement will be reached as far as the railroad men are concerned. If not, traffic will be seriously crippled in a few days. The striking railroad men include the block signal repairen, track walkers, carpenters, painters, tinners, lampmen. section laborers and foremen, bridge and building laborers and foremen and water supply mechanics. The roads in volved are the Western Indiana, , Chi cago unction, Indiana Harbor Belt line, Baltimore and Ohio terminal Illinois Central and the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul. Union officials called the big strike of maintenance of way employes after failing to get a reply to an ultimatum sent to W. J. Jackson chairman of the Railroad General Managers' Association. Efforts will be made today to extend the strike to the men employed on alj roads entering Chicago, includ ing unorganised track laborers. The territory affected induces Hammond. Gary, East Chicago, Indiana Harbor, Blue' Island, Harvey. Franklin Park and Melrose Park. The railroad men demand a higher wage and a stand ardizatlon of wages. RHrfcnakllc at a Standstill. The brlckmakers' strike tied up twenty-six yards, located at Bernice, Lansing, Blue Island, Pullman. Dolton, North Chicago. Shermervllle, Deerfield, Grant Park, Evanston, Glenview, Chi cago Heights, Manteno, Galewood, and Maynard. Twelve yards are controlled by the National Brick company. The men refused to accept a reduction in wages and an increase in hours from eight to ten a day.HITS THE TWIN CITIES. (Special to The Times.) East Chicago, May 2. East Chicago and Indiana Harbor will participate in the big strike of maintenance of way employes which was declared yesterday and which effects' the Chicago terminals of six big railroads. The t w roads running through these cities which are effected are the Indiana Harbor Belt and the B. & O. Terminal. The other roads concerned in the strike include the estejn Indiana, the Chicago unction, Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, and the Illinois Central. About 500 or 600 men are out on the B. & O. Terminal and the Indiana Harbor Belt. The men of these local lines were not unionized, but formed in organization for the purpose of getting an Increase in .wages and other benefits, and carried their demands to the general managers association which compromises the geaeral managers of all the railroads. The latter however declined to consider the demands, saying that they lacked jurisdiction and advising the men to take their grievances up individually with their various lines. Failing to get the desired satisfaction, the strike was called. Up to this morning no demands had been made of the managements of the B. & O. Terminal nor of the Indiana Harbor Belt. A great many men, it is understood are waiting their chance to take the places of the strikers, in this vicinity. First Ore Arrives. The first cargo of Iron ore from the United States Steel corporation's ore mines near Duluth arrived in the Gary harbor yesterday. The ore steamer Is the James Watt, in command of Captain S. E. Meeker, and carried a cargo of 6,027 tons. This is the second ship to arrive at the steel company's docks this season.

AGREEABLY SURPRISED (Special to This Times.) Indiana Harbor, May 2. John Fen ton, superintendent of the sheet mill at the Inland Steel company's plant, has resigned. His resignation was handed in three weeks ago to take effect the first of the month, and on Sunday hia fellow superintendents and the men in the department where he was in charge got together and gave him a send-off which" a prince might envy. Mr. Fenton's successor in the sheet mill is J- Potts of Canton, Ohio. Simultaneously with the resignation of Mr. Fenton that of Leonard A. Thornberg, head of the electrical de partment, took effect, and Mr. Thornberg also came in for some well de served honors. Sunday morning all of the superin tendents of the various departments at the big plant got together and headed by Lees met in the offices of the mill and rresented Mr. Fenton with a magnificent chest of sterling silver containing sixty pieces and all inscribed with the monogram of the recipient. Allan Strale, chief engineer, made the presentation speech and Mr. Fenton responded with a few words expressive of his appreciation and surprise at the receipt of so splendid a testimonial. The presentation took place at 10 o'clock in the morning and following it Mr. Fenton was taken in an automobile which awaited him at the close of the proceedings to the Gem theater. Here he found all of the employes of the sheet mill who had worked tinder him assembled. The men presented him with a handsome watch with solid gold case, a solid gold chain and a charm set in gold and diamonds. Mr. Ed Thomas made the presentation speech in behalf of fhe sheet mill men, and Mr. Fenton was so moved that he was unable to reply and begged to be excused. Nor was Mrs. Fenton forgotten. There was a solitaire diamond ring for her, which was sent with the compliments of the sheet mill force. While these things were In progress at the Gem theater, there were other doings at the Inland mill in which Leonard A. Thornberg was the central figure. As the heads of the departments of the steel mill bade goodby to John Fenton before his departure for the Gem theater, they slipped quietly and unostentatiously to the office of Mr. Thornberg. Soon they were all assembled there together with forty employes of Mr. Thornberg. The latter was not kept long in the dark as to the reasons for the little gathering. Soon Superintendent Robert Smith of the brick department stepped forward and on behalf of the superintendents of the mill and of the men in Mr. Thornberg's employ, presented the retiring superintendent with a handsome watch with solid gold case, chain and charm, the latter 6et with diamonds and Inscribed with Mr. Thornberg's monogram, etc. Mr. Thornberg was quite overcome at this unexpected tribute and spoke a few suspiciously husky words of thanks. Both men have enjoyed a long and valuable service at the plant.

GARY BOARD GIVES GE1ST INTERESTS II FRANCHISE

The Board of Public Works at their meeting yesterday, granted to C. H. Geist a 8fr years franchise to operate and build their car lines on thirteen of Gary's principal streets. The franchise was presented by En-, gineer T. K. Bel lof the Geist interests' two weeks ago and the board took immediate action on the measure yesterday to prevent the Gary & Interurban company from any further building of their east Fifth avenue line, thetcrms of their franchise having expired long ago. The Geist franchise calls for the operating of cars on all streets named in the franchise within a period of three years. The route asked by the company maeks Fifth avenue its principal division. It wants to come in on Fif'.ci avenue from Miller, west on Fifth avenue to Massachusetts street and north on that street to Fourth avenue and west on that street to Ambridge avenue, thus giving It better chances of patronage from the various steel corporation plants than its rival, the Gary & Interurban railway. Going south on Ambridge street the route proceeds to the Gary-Indiana Harbor limits. A second division calls for entr-- on Fifth avenue to the Gary & Western GBE1GHTQ Orders have been received by Architect D. F. Creighton of the American Sheet and Tin Plate company from Pittsburg to proceed with the building of the first tin plate house. Officials of the American Sheet and Tin Plate Company including President-E. W. Parguy, First Vice President S. A. Davis, Chief Engineer G. C. Kimbill and Charles W. Bennett assitant to President Parguy were in Gary yesterday and spent considerable time .In inspecting the new plant and also inspecting the work completed for the tinplate houses. Some Doubt Aa To Efficiency. There is some doubt as to the efficiency and practiclbillty of the system of building the tinplate houses under the present plan and it is for this reason that one house will be erected and completed as an experiment, Jbefore any more houses are completed. The present plan may be abandoned altogether and Instead of using concrete, the balance of the houses may be of frame and of brick. The cost of the huoses under the present plan is said to exceed that of the estimate of the chief engineer and it is for this reason the only one house, will be erected until the company officials can determine what course of action to follow. Highland Reeelvea Contract. H. H. Highlands ha received the contract for the plumbing work of the model house. It will be erected at thse corner of Harrison street and Fourth avenue. The balance of the work will be done by Contracts Grantham who came here to superintend the work from Pennsylvania. The house will be a four family flat building and will be 70x24 feet. Each fiat will contain four rooms including a bath room and pantry. Footlngsln For OS Houses. The concrete footings for 96 houses are now completed. The present plans call for the, erection of 100 houses instead of 250i as was first reported. FOREIGNERS OUNKOED BY "M COLLECTOR" The Gary police are searching for a foreigner, who has been representing himself as a tax collector on the south side and has collected sums of money from his country men which the police claim will amount to $1,000. . The news of the phoney tax collector had been operating on the south side did not reach the police until late yesterday afternoon although they made a systematic search for the foreigner up to noon today he could not be located. Several more foreigners came to the police station . this morning who had b'sen swindled by the collector. BAD INDIAN TURNS UMPIRE 0 ' . Jackson, Miss., May 2. Outfielder "Chief" Norcuni, who has had a varied career on many teams in the south, has been released by the local Cotton States league management for "umpire baiting." Following his release President Scott of the league surprised the fans by appointing Norcum to the umpire staff. James Jeffries succeeded Norerum as manager here. Norcrum is an Indian and his continual wrangling with the umpire put him in bad repute with the clubs.

FIRSI DI IRELIGHI The receipts at the close of business for the first day at Gary's new postal saving bank amounted to $72.80. This was much below the expectations of the local post office officials, but they look for a larger Increase each day. Just as soon as the opening of the postal savings bank becomes known. This morning a large number of foreigners were on hand again asking for information concerning the bank. Out of the long line of foreigners who visited the postoffice yesterday most of them sought information concerning th bank. - Postmaster Call stated that within week's time he expects the foreigners will begin to deposit their earnings in large amounts. Many Greeks and Turkj were in line today oneof the latter All Staragoff deposited $45. and after he received the regulation certificates he stated that he would advise his fellow countrymen to make use of tne eahk.
