V. t. l.oyd. I Ioyd A Oary Brifadler. 1 Col. l.oyd if one of the steel satraps jin ;r Jl-j iect--nt!v came to Gary ! from West Virgin! . In that state the colonel Iih.1 been manager of the Ai.;i rienn Sheet fcnd Tin Plate company's !iuli.. Th company is a part of the stel trust When the trust decided to bulid nu additional works in Oary It resolved to re(t the finest tin plant in America. O edited with being the he.t tin producer in the country, the colonel was su!i.mond to Gary to build the mil! t:.i now he ih operntinc them. The investment runs mto Several milons. He Control 3,00) Men. Now the colonel is viceroy over no sma"! part of the Mel trust. His province consists of 3,("l workmen. Not the highest political-industrial province in Gary, to lie nire, but a healthy-sized one. And of 3.000 workmen a lot of thi ni. including foremen and department superintendents, swear by the "1!K burs:" and if he o.es this y or favors that candidate or steel political faction the:,' are likely to do likewise. IS.) General Superintendent l-ovd is a man to re kon with in Gary politics. especially since h-; has 3.00') of the best and mostly highly paid workmen in the steel industry under him men recently imported from the east Rnd not here long enough to lie interested ;n politics unless it is to see whom the colonel favors and then vote as he does. It would all b out of a mat'er of friendship, for Col. l.oyd is the idol of his workmen. They pet more pay than the other steel wo: kers. have less restriction, and l.oyd methods are famous for treii'.iiis it r.ian as a man. While the colonel is strict on discipline and results h-; is humane and considerate, which accounts for his big hold oti his men. Colonel Dodges Trap. The steel corporation has more than a hif donen iiiduMrial-pohtical provinces in Gary and some of the viceroys direct more men. o'.hers less than he does; one of them has charge of 10.000. Now some of. the steel political factions, not only those of the western crowd, but those of the Caning. e faction, who remind of the day when Andy himself ran everything the days before the westerners ousted his two men. Corey and Schwab from high steel office, werij ujiiek to recognize that the colonel wou d be "some pumpkins", in Gary steel polit icaldom. even though he shouldn't take a direct hand in politics. Kach side flirted with him and the rivalry was intense to be hold. It will be. remembered that when it came time to b;;i!d Gary the Carnegie or easterners put up a great howl, insisting Pittsburgh should get the plums. The westerners won their point. but the. Carnegie, crowd was strong enough to have Carnegie men sent to Gary and Chicago to boss the job and to k"ep an eye on things. In lpiit) JVir. l norjie ana Mr. Gieason. supri"m:en'int and et.t of the Clair nd assistant stipe rintendrton Steel company's plant at Clairton, Pa., were transferred westward to boss the Gary project. It is said that the westerners weren't tickled with having these Carnegie barons sent into handle things for them, but they had to make th. best of the j situation with Mr. Thorpe setting in as vice-president at Chicago and Mr. Gieason as local constructor at Gary. Now Messrs. Thorpe and Gieason before coming to '."lHirron had been with the Rockefellers' Colorado steel mill at I'u.-'h'o. They were hired to go to Clairton arid while that independent plant was ur.der thrlr management it was gobbled up by the Carnegie Stec) company of the s'ccl trust, in which its Rockefellers n a so interested. Explains Pactional Fights. This Kives an inkling into just why the 'ttf rn and Carncpie steel politicians have not got along very well at Gary. At times they get along so well that one group tries to unseat the other. Wall St. Crowd Prlghtened. Now not long ngo hn the political agents of Wall street got worried over reports Mayor Johnson might again be a candidate it is said it was decided to get up ano'hep unscruplous "reform" move to discredit the mayor. The polillca! and religious gang who "get theirs" by sucking at the financial pap of Wall street, which has devious ways f rewnrdin those subservient to it pulled Off the "Committee of 15." A list was made up of men -it was carefuiiy packed with steel politicians and a few minister thrown in to give it the iivedid sanctity and to assure cafe owm-rs that when a d'nner wjis held that the silverware would not be, iu jeopardy. Col. Loyd Dodges "Committee of 15." Now Ihe "committee" got so holy that it bgan to stink and there was an exodu.i from it. The public soon recognized some of the old time hypocrites, who had been pulling off fake reform st iu for wars and who by mparts of th'ir "Xroedvvay let conscience" wf.'i! "getting theirs." Col. I.ovd's name whs listed on the "committee." but it is noticed that he got off of it mighty quickly. He evidently was not going to associate with men who preach religion on one hand and then deal with saloon profits on the other men who even had to do with the opening of "rod lights" in Gary. And It isn t libeling any one to say that some of the worthies were tied up with the "committee." More will be learned of this when campaign speeches begin. That Fishinf Trip. Iast month there was considerable surprise when 'ol. l,oyd was invited to go along to one of the steel political factions annual fishing excursions to Wisconsin. These excursions have been yearly events and there some great local politics hes been worked out. For instance, before Mayor Johnson sot his iPBfW IHH fTf"?

- -. .. .

vS"ck tit I - eyes opened he was invlled northward and went. At another time oven Dr. Smith whs there. f ten there was some one there from the Fort Wayne brewery I hat has the monopoly from the political department of selling booze to the Gary steel workers, .fust what the relations are between this Fort Wayne brewery and the political department of the 'steel trust. which sees to it that workmen of the Gary steel plant and other industries can get beer and whiskey in monopolized sites owned by the corporation, is not known. It is know ii, however, that when the pol.tical department was esttblished in Gary the brewer In question was a big legtsiator in Indiana. He became fl 'friend of Gary;" got the teer "privileges" on steel trust sites, and by means of land monopoly a "vodka monopoly" was sustained. Had a "dry" machine controlled Indiana state affttrs in 1908 inetead of a "wet" machine it is probable, as a wag has said, that the ehurehly steel political crowd would have bad the site near the steel plant set aside as a place to sell white ribbons, prayer books, temperance tracts, grape juice, and Ice cream soda. As if was it saemed that fate destined that they should open tip a saloon opposite the most efficient steel plant in the world. Trip Causes Qostlp. It was to this political fishing- resort that Col. l.oyd was invited this summer. Willi the colonel, who is known as a friend of prohibition, were political steel officials and one or two officials of the brewery that has tie beer monopoly on steel sites. What was said at the happy outing is riot known, and if the colonel, who is new to the Machiavellian and religious-beery ways of the steel machines at Gary did not know of t.11 Uie by-gone excursions there and w ho went along it is because he is a newcomer to town. But it is no secret that the question whs asked around town. "Wonder If this bunch now has Ioyd lined up politically?" loya Not A Politician. However, friends of the colonel who knew him in W est Virginia sayhat no local steel machine can put. anthing over him. They say that as soon as he gets a proper persepctive into things that he will show thit he is the undisputed boss of his own steel province and that none of the Gary steel political factions has a string on him. "Mr. l.oyd is a mill superintendent and a good one. not a politician. As soon as he gets on to what is doing b'will keep aloof from his political or reform entanglements and run his mill and tend to his own affairs Just like Supt. Gross of the sheet steel plant has done, said a fellow chuch r-ierr.ber of Col. l.oyd. who is one of the popular members of the First M. K. church of Gary. THE TIMES' September l.!.
