Ptr'.ke clouds hovered ovrr Gary again yesterday and today. Two r.ew strikes rrered. one that Is expected to stop railroad traffic within week and the othfr will tl up millions cf dollars worth of building now under erection. Both has caused a gonprnt walkout all over the region. Only two hours after fiO strikers had jrene hack to work at the Gary Screw and Bolt Works, the city had another serious strike problem tr fare. Bffocts 8,600 In Gary. In obedience, to orders that are e!Tei-t-inj: the railroad shops over the entire country, in the neighborhood of 500 mechanics and shop men at Kirk yams of the E. J. A E. railroad, laid down their tools and walked oat. The trades involved are the railroad machinists, hoilermakers. blacksmiths. electricians, sheet metal workers and 5hop men. The decision to strike Mas made at a meeting of delegates in Chicago the evening: before and then it cam to the public and railroad officials without the slightest warning:. It is said. Demands X,ea.m.i. Behind closed doors, the strikers met

in it mass meeting: at the Labor liallj yesterday afternoon. It was learned j that they demand a minimum wacej scale of S5 cents an hour. The present wage scale was 6S cents an hour. ! A scale of 60 cents an hour for heip-1

ers Is asked and a retroactive clause In!

the demands provides the increases shil! he dated from the first of the year. "A clean sweep of every rond In th country." was the promise of John D. Saund

ers, chairman of the council directing!

the Chicago strike situation, declared yesterday. Walkout Is Critical. The strike Is critical as it affects the Gary steel plant. t'nless tho engines et attention, coal cannot be hauled to the mills which will mean the shutting

down of the blast furnaces and will cripple all departments. The latest report confirmed the report that the shopmen in the steel mill yards were still on duty. The shopmen at the Gary works are under the jurisdiction of the E. J. & E. officials as the men at the Kirk yards. Building Handicapped. A tremor was felt in Gary building

circles yesterday morning when the carpenters failed to show up for work, tidingup a million dollars worth of building under construction. The carpenters ar out over tho entire region. Failure of the Builders and Trader's Exchanga and the Build ir.g Trade's Employers' association to meet !h demands of a 2j cent increase to have pone into effect yesterday was the cause of the wakout. An effort is being made to cause an early settlement.

STEAM RAILROADS

PAULETTE IS NEW FABRIC FOR FALL

ARE BADLY CRIPPLED

Fifty Thousand Shopmen in Chicago and Calumet District Are Out.

t INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICEI CHICAGO, Aus. 2. Maintenance departments of practically every steam railroad entering; Chicago are badly crippled today by the strike of machinists and shopmen who are. dissatisfied with the failure of the railroad administration to act upon demands for Increased wages which weie submitted nearly a year ago It is estimated today that approximately 50.000 men are on strike in the vicinity of Chicago. Shops in otner railway centers, it la reported, also are affected and the carmen claim that the strike will spread until several hundred thousand workmen are nu t. Thus far the operating departments of the railroads have not been hampered by the strike. If the strike continues, however, fre.ght and passenger traffic eventually will be seriously handicapped, as the strike of shopmen will prevent repairs to rolling: stock and forced thousands of cara and engines ojt of or,mmis.ion.

The demand for stenographers and typists trained at the Kohlirnjer Shorthand School exceeds the supply. Ruff Bldg fhone 291. 8-2-

The Post -War Maxwell is the Surprise Car of the Year

ITS a mental stimulation to look over this post-war Maxwell and see one surprise after another in fine engineering. You get the accumulation of war years in rare automobile ideas. There's the new Lmoine type front axle, which gives a new delight at the wheel in its easy, castering effect in steering. Then there's the heavy, new rear axle with the extra large, indestructible four pinion differential. And two universal joints of the oilless disc type. They require no attention during the life of the car. Brakes 1 The emergency is now found on the transmission, as on so many foreign cars. The service brake is the larger toggle type, and is equipped with equalizers, which prevent the tendency to skid. In the rear now is slung the gas tank, large and with vacuum feed. No more gas fume3 or gas leakage up in front. . Also equipped with Hot Spot and Ram's-Horn. There are many more rare treats in store for you, but remember this Post-War model is the continuation of the original Maxwell chassis as laid down 5 years ago. To date more than 300,000 have been built. The public has paid $200,000,000 for previous Maxwells. This Post-War Maxwell is a greater car. Be among the early ones to get this prized car. $985 f. o. b. Detroit
