STREET CAR SERVICE IS
THREATENE Employes of Company Angered at Attitude of the Council; May Not Work Tomorrow. reople of Hammond. Whiting: and feast Chicago are warned ty representatives of the street car employes to be prepared for a discontinuance of street Wear service tomorrow morning. From Mthe attitude of the employes now It Is , fracticel certainty that the men of Itho Hammond .barn will vote to strike immediately when the meeting Is held lhis evening. Barney A. Carter, executive commit'Iftman for the Hammond branch of the carmen's union, haa had his hands full Loday preventing the men from leaving fheir can without bothering: to take a j-ote first. Immed:ately upon learning rthat the council of Hammond had refused to grant the fare increase the men J-ere in favor of quitting their Jobs at Slice. "From the way It looks now, the men -iil refuse to take out their cars tomorrow morning.'" said Mr. Carter this afternoon. "I have been counselling tha tnrn to go slowly today and have persuaded them to wait until the meeting tonight when everything will be talked cvt before a strike vote is taken. "The contract between the street car company and the men. which was signuj Augst 3. stated that all members of No. 311 would receive the raise In wages "and that the increase would go into effect three days after the day it was signed. Tho men on the Chicago lines go the raise, but we are still working for the old rate out here. 'They had told us that they have been promised the privilege to increase their ares here, but from the way the council 1b acting this may drag on for a month Jet and then they might not get the liaise. In the meantime the company insists that we work at the old rate until fthey get their fare Increase. They can't fcxpect the men t,i pull their chestnuts ut of the fire. "We insist on our wage increase and it must bp dated from August 6. ' I thought it best to warn the public advance in order that they will not tea depending upon street car service kemorrow morning, when it is pretty j fcertain there will be none." IN FED. COURT Another Texas land case has been filed in the United States District court pt Hammond for Judge Anderson to untangle. Those who remember the manpcr in which he handled one several J-tars ago will make It a point to attend this hearing, as he is inclined to Jook more on the right and wrong side rM' these long distance real estate transactions rather than to confine himself to the legal technicalities. The suit just filed with Clerk Charle.i Fjrprlse is brought by the Fidelity Loan Securities Co. of Kansas City, Mo., against Mrs. A. F. Parkison of Rensselaer. Ind. The complaint states that tn January 3, 1919. Mrs. Parkison en(tTed into a contract with the Rio Grand .Valley Land Corporation to buy a tract pf land in Hidalgo count. Texas. She was to pay $21,500 for the land paying $12,000 to the company and assuming $12,000 incumbrance arainst the property. According to the agreement she was to pay J2.OO0 annually bi pinning January 1. 1321. and the Interest was to be paid semi-annually beginning July 19, 1919. Failure to meet any part f it was to mature the whole sum. It is alleged that Mrs. Parkison did tint make her first interest payment last month, so the company is demanding the entire $12,000 with interest up to the time the matter !s settled. W. F. Zumbrum of Kansas City is attorney for the plaintiff. PATHE TO SNAP SCOUTS.

The money they asserted was donated by the churches of the United States, which they represented. Paja fairly slavered at the thought of the JIS. 000 and his poor friends. "Well. I'm an honest man," he confided modestly to the strangers. "Here is the money." t-aid the spokesman. He orrncd the suit case and there was a fat wallet with bills just sticking out of it. Paja's hungry eyes glistened, his fingers Itched. "Of coure you're honest." said the con men. "but you're a stranger. We must have some security. Howmuch have you?" Paja rushid home. He dug up $700 fron under the old matress and ran gee, how he ran back to the strangers. They accepted the $700. fastened up the suit case and give it to Paja and fUd. of course.

Where the Blame Will Lie
If the street car employes refuse to take out their cars tomorrow morning, the Hammond city administration is responsible for the city being without street car service. The street car employes are entitled to the wage increase they were promised and the street car company is entitled to the 7 cent fare it asks. The spineless, dilly-dallying piddling policy that has prevailed in the Hammond city council during the entire administration is a disgrace to the city of Hammond. Some of the councilmen pretending to be men act like a lot of squabbling ten year old kids. If the street cars are not running tomorrow morning the people of Hammond will know where to put the blame and it won't be on the street car. company and it won't be on the street car employes.

Arrival of the patrol wagon loaded with rc-serses probab'.y saved th.lives of several men and halted the rio'ing for a short time. However, in arresting tw-o of the leaders, the police were forced tu draw their guns to hoIJ back the mob.
