Foundation Construction In Litigation In the extreme southeastern part of Indiana Harbor, surrounded by a hifh board fence is the land owned by the Tiaidwin Locomotive, works. Scattered over the tract are concrete works intended as foundations for a plant which was to have been erected six years ago, but which has been in abeyance. It developed today that there is still a large bill durt on the construction of those foundations. Two suits were filed in the Hammond Superior court by the legal firm of Knapp & Campbell of Chicago, asking for judgment against the r.aldwin Locomotive works for over $11,000 for material furnished In the construction work. The complaint says that on May 15, 1913, the Baldwin company let the contract to the H. A. Strauss company, to do the excavating and concrete work for the Calumet plant. Strauss A Co., then contracted with the plaintiffs, the Universal Portland Cement company and the Joliot Sand and Gravel company, to furnish the cement and gravel for the work. The cement company's bill was $6,486 and the bill of the Joliet firm was $3,916.65. Both are unpaid, it is said. The original contract price of the H. A Strauss company was $57,750, but $15,000 of thfs has been held back by the Baldwin company, because of the fart that the general contractor had not settled with the material men. As the latter have been unable to reach a settlement with the contractors they are now sueing the Baldwin company. They ask also for 6 per cent interest on the money from Jan. 15, 1914.

While the combined convention of the two parties wrangled around for hoars over methods of procedure, the platform makers were endeavoring; to reconcile the views of the Laborltea and forty, eigrhters and Senator Robert K. LaFolletta, the general favorite for the nomination. They were having a difficult Job of It. (BULLETIN) INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE CARMEN'S HALL. CHICAGO. July 14. Senator Robert M. LaFollette, of Wisconsin, this afternoon notified the coalition convention of the committee of Forty-Eight and the American Labor party that he cannot accept the nomination for the presidency of the new party. The platform, as org-inally drafted by the more radical elements of the coalition party, was not acceptable to the Wisconsin senator. It was declared for the democratization of industry and for many other radical departures in political platform building. FIXING IT VP FOR HIM. Leaders of both the committee of Forty-eight and the American uiir party were informed that LaFollette could not consent, to run on a platform of that character.

In Fact He Says He Would Hate To Tell You How Radical He Is

(SPECIAL TO THE TIMES OHICAfco. July 14. The first im. rresslon that one gains from mir.gHr.g with this aggregation, of third party proposes is that the movement Is pretty well named, for the forty-eighters apparently represent at least, fortyeight groups of thought and ideas. All think they see the light, but they e it through a wide variety of lenses. At preaent they agree on just one thirig . each of the old parties is a failure, at least that's what the Lake county Ir.d. delegates think. The twenty-four delegates wno have registered from Indiana include several former Democrats, some Social. sts. a few former Republicans, gome laborltes and single taxers. One manufacturer one business man, one -college professor two farmers, several railroad workers , and some trade unionists are among the Indiana group. HE HOI I.D HATE TO TELL Among the Socialists who have become a forty-eighter is Sigurd J. Aureli who is in the New York Central railroad shops at Gibson. Lake county, Indiana. "I'm a radical. Id hate to tell you how radical I am. I'm just as radical as you find them." said Aureil by way of introducing himaeif. when he was asked what his party affiliations had been heretofore. , 'I'm supposed to be a Socialist. I still believe in the principles and remedies of the Socialist party, but that party offers a slow working. I'm looking for something- that will get quicker action. I thing this bunch of fortyci liters will offer the solution." FORMER FROHI THERE I. G. Pollard, of Hammond, now a railroad watchman and a former preach er is one of the Indiana, delegates. Pollard Is a prohibitionist and he has been a candidate fcr office from Lake county on that ticket for vears gone by. J. H. McCtill, well known over tile Calumet region, a Valparaiso- manufacturer and for many years a Bryan Democrat, is consipicious in the new, party movement. He is a member of the national executive committe fo-fc-rey-eighters and is serving as a men ber of the resolutions committee no working on the platform. . WAS A BRYAN FAN He Is still a Bryan admirer, but (( disappointed that the commoner swallows everything and sticks with thi old; party. Mr. McGill has served as Democratic chairman and has repeatedly been delegate to the Democratic state conventions. He says he is a single tax believer. He has been an insurgent Democrat in recent years. "I ceased to be a Democrat when the Democratic party departed from Democratic fundamentals." said McGitl. "I can't stand for Burleson and Pa'.mer and others of the Wilson administration. I can't stand for the abuses c-f civil liberty that has been witnessed under the Wilson administration since the armistice. I'm against the espionage act in peace times." PAXTOX HI B BEN THERE Mr. McGill gave it as his impression that most of those gathered at this con ventic-n are opponents of the League of Nations. He does not expect the liquor matter to receive any serious attention here because It Is no longer regarded as an economic question. Paxton H:bben of Indianapolis, once a bull Moose candidate .for Congress from Marion county, is among the Indiana delegates. THIS SftRGE SURE HAD Night Sergeant John OkraJ of the West Hammond police, had his hands full last night when he tried to put Alex Graczk to bed in the police station so he could sleep off a moonshina jag. John came through the scrap in pretty good shape, but the lawn and flower beds at the station were badly mussed. Alex dropped in on hie brother at 412 154th place late in the evening. He Is young and not very large, but can be a bad actor when he wants to. He was that way last night. The brother, seeing that Alex was not going to settle down and let the rest of the folks sleep, called the police station. Sergeant Okraj came right after the rain and took Alex in charge. All went well until they reached the police station. Alex took a look at the door and changed his mind. Th fun began. Okraj is a big man ani has handled some bad characters in his time, but Alex made things a lit tle livelier than the sergeant had experienced in a long time. They werv soon down on the grass rollng through flower beds and tearing up jack in general. Okraj finally stifled his pride and called for help. Two firemen jumped Into their boots and came to hia' assistance after which Alex was soon bundled into a cell. This morning he was a quiet boy. When asked where he got the stuff which set him wild he refused to tell. "It's my fault and not the fellow that sold it to me." said Alex. "I'd have bought it In Burnham if he hadn't let me have some." He will face Judge . Kowalski tonight. Germans Successful In Prussian Balloting RERUN.
