They have also, prom-, !sed to an increase in wages for the . laborers and to make such other adjust-, merits as are found necessary after the J plant is in oueration once more. The j mn object to returning to wors wnu-; out first knowing what wages they are j to receive and ask that the company re vise its schedule in advance. WILL MEET WITH CKAJTS. The third point is the one on which the split really rests. The company! desires to conduct the negotiations j through the shop plan which is already in operation there. This is patterned , nfter the scheme used by the Standard i Oil Co.. at Whiting in which each craft appoints Its own committee which car-, ris the grievances to the plant officials; rfCon'lnued on page rlv.) So Governor Goodrich is advised By His Secretary F. Litsched. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., Aug. 23. Governor Goodrich was hopeful today that normal conditions soon may be established at Hammond, where striking foreigners at the Standard Steel Car Comany's plant made necescsary the sending of eleven companies of state militia Thursday. j Harry B. Smith, adjutant-general of I Indiana, who is in charge of the mili- I tery situation at Hammond, communicated to the Governor that "everything is quiet" and that no serious trouble .-corns imminent. The Governor was encouraged in his! hopeful outlook on tho situation by a conversation over the telephone with J his secretary, Frank P. Lttschert. whom : he sent to represent him in the terri-j ,orv vesterdav. Mr. Litschert also s.iid hat the situation was much less tense and thai it seemed that little turher .rouble might be expected. James J. Nejdl. state senator, of Whiting. who spcaKS tne language 01 many of the foreigners who are striking, has been working among them as a repre- ! sentative of the Governor and his assurances to the Governor have encouraged the hope that the situation soon may clear itself. Senator Nejdl said the whole affair tirst appeared somewnat more rn.-taien- , real conditions warranted 11. g llldll ...vT . . 1 I v"..vi.i.v'.i no. . a.n. j and he expects normal conditions 1 shortly. The presence at Hammond of eleven companies of state militia. 800 men strong, and the near-presence of regular army troops in Illinois and available for Governor Goodrich on a moment's notice also have had a good part in forestalling any riotous outbreak, it is believed.
