Company to Supply Entire City Ambitious Building Plan of Hammond Pure Ice Company Make Big Thing Possible. Indications now point to a mild winter one that is easy on the coal bin. But there's another aspect. The winter that requires little coal Is also a poor one for the making of natural ice and the effect is noted the next summer when hot weather finds ice houses only partly filled. Hammond house holders can enjoy the mild winter to the limit free from worries about ice shortage for Eric Haehnel of the Hammond Pure Ice company is looking out for their interests. He has a big idea and is preparing to put It across. If Mr. Haehnel's plans do not go amiss and they seldom do his company will handle the entire Ice business of Hammond. It Is a big contract, but he believes he can do It. "Workmen yesterday started excavating for the foundations of an addition to the Hammond ice plant, which will make the project possible. The Ice company Is preparing to erect an Ice storage house in which 2.500 tons of artificial Ice may be tucked away for the rush days next summer. The building, the best of its kind In the region will be 11 feet long. 35 feet wide and 16 feet high. "Walls of the storage will be of brick and constructed in such a way as to insulate against exterior heat. Inside the temperature will be kept down by a brine cooling system connected with the refrigeration apparatus of the Ice plant. There will be practically no shrinkage of the Ice stored there. It ii estimated that the storage plant will cost between $20,000 and $2500. Another big Improvement at the plant will be a big water filter. Henceforth all 1co wlH be made of filtered water, which Is guaranteed to be practically as pure as distilled water. In other words the lumps of Ice used In making ice water in the home will have none of the Impurities found in the drinking water Itself. This filtration outfit will cost another $3,600. Mr. Haehnel plans to have all of these Improvements completed by Feb. 1. The plant will be run to Its full capacity of 60 tons per day and the surplus placed In storage. Next summer when the dally output of. the plant is far s-hort of the city's needs, this reserve supply will fill the gap. Hamond people will also be gratified to know that the Hammond Pure Ice company Is going to scrap many of its old and decrepit delivery wagons. "When spring comes the drivers will all appear with brand new delivery outfits. At the same time the company plan to arrange to take over the entire Ice business of the city which Is now divided among several dealers.

WORKING CONDITIONS AT STORES

Conditions far Easier for Clerks in Hammond Stores Than are Reported in Other Cities of Like Size. The following letter received at The Times office this morning Is self-explanatory: Editor Times: I think The-Times is doing the public a service and certainly ,lt is giving its readers a knowledge of the matters In controversy btween the department stores and striking clerks by the series of articles It Is now running about the situation. The article on the wage question threw a lot of light on things that needed 'clearing up and the public would like to know . something about the working conditions and hours in the above mentioned department stores. We would like to know Just what they are and whether the proprietors of these stores are Jeopardizing the health of their employes. M. A. G. AS TO WORKING CONDITIONS. The above letter is one ot r.iany celved by The Times indicating that public Interest In the investigation conducted by Times reporters as tJ the business situation in Hammond in growing daily. The Interest in the article on wages paid In the aepartment stores that have been picneteu Jid boycotted for some time tnrov iight on the whole controversy. Representatives of this newspaper pursuing further Inquiry fi.'und that working conditions in the department stores of Hammond are far better than they are In other cities as well as the hours. An impression has been circui II l ,1 LltDL III U V I'llll I O have refused to, meet with union leaders to discuss wages, hours and working conditions but this is not true for such conferences have been held and these matters discussed at length. HAMMOND CLERKS K.WOHEI). A comparison with other cities having department stores of the size ot Hammond bring out the fact that In both wages, "hours and working conditions the employes in the Ilammonl stores are much better treated. The stores open at 8:30 and closed at 6 p. m. except on Saturday when they are kept open until 9:30 o'clock for the express benefit of the working classes who cannot get down town to shop during the week. During the week the employes' have an hour off at noon and on Saturday, besides the lunch hour, they aIjo have an hour for supper. During the months of June, July and August, the stores close at noon on Thursdays for a half holiday. 'AIIH l'AII) WHK.V ILL. Reporters learned that if any employe is away by reason of Illness or for any other unavoidable case, wages go on Just as usual. Clerks enjoy . a special discount of 107c and In some lines of goods, the percentage Is t'till higher. Rest room and cafeteria at one of the big stores are provided for the employes. During the summer months one week's vacation also with pay Is given each employe and In short the welfare of the clerks is well-looked after by the proprietors and managers of the stores. It is pointed out that the work in department stores In general is of an easy nature In comparison with other lines of activity In w-h!ch girls are employed. They are not driven at top speed and kept at confining work In one place all day long. CLERKS Allli CONTENT. "When business is brisk they are busy but when business is not brisk they arcnot busy. There is a certain amount of leisure In connection with the work of clerks in the stores. The girls who have been employed for years in these stores certainly would seek other employment If wages were not good and hours and working conditions perfectly satisfactory to them. VOICE OF . TUB F E O P L, E WHERE ORGANIZED LABOR AND RETAIL, CLERKS' STRIKE STANDS Before the strike was called the clerk's union No. 246 used all honorable means to settle with the merchants. After all efforts of the.clerks union were exhausted the last resources were adhered to. By a vote of the clerks' union No. 246 at a regular, meeting, and not by any out of town person or any Individual of the union, but by a maojrity vote the strike was called Sept. 11. 1S20. Organized labor realized that .no person or firm Is independent, but all are dependent upon one another, more especially In times of trouble, and the Injury of one Is the concern of all. Labor knew that the clerks would need financial and moral support to win this flight and at once stood behind the clerks knowing that their demands were just and in no way out of reason as stated in their agreement. Any person who has read this agreement will have to admit and any person n"t having read the same can do so by asking anyof the girls on the picket line for one of their agreements. "When the manufacturers and merchants organize themselves against labor the public will have to agree that labor should have the smi right to orrnn"s '.hemselves collectively. anl bargain collectively In tho sale of (Continued on page ten.)

HIS WEAPON Konstanty Grzankowskl, 3624 Alder St.. Indiana Harbor, came to Hammond la.t night with murder In his heart but quick action on the part of William Bassow, 836 Alice St., spoiled his plana. He is now being held by the Hammond days ago Mrs. Grzankowskl left her husband and camo to Hammond where she rented rooms of Mrs. Bassow. Her husband had been looking for her and last night he found her. As she and Mr. and Mrs. Ba-sow were talkin gin the living rooms they heard the crash as a window at the rear of the house was broken. An instant later Grzankowskl appeared brandishing a revolver. He announced that he had come to kill his wire and apparently was about to carry out his threat when Mr. Bassow sprang upon him and seized tho pistol, m the tussle he succeeded in getting possession of the weapon and then telephoned lor the police. When the officers arived Grzankowskl was confronting his wife with a large cheap clasp knife while Bassow with pistol ready was prepared to interfere if he attempted to make good his previous threat. The Indiana Harbor man was quickly overpowered and taken to the station where he now awaits trial on a charge of felonious asault, with intent to kill. SAYS WIFE WED FOR MONEY And Apparently Josephine Was Entirely Successful That his wife married him merely to get possession of $100. which he had saved while he was in the army, was.the assertion made by Frank Schulman yesterday when he appeared in court to defend the suit which his wife. Josephine, had brought for divorce. The complaint filed by Mrs. Schulman on Nov. 17, alleged that Frank had threatened to kill her and that they had lived together only a short time after the-lr marriage, Oct. 29. The hearing yesteriay before Judge Reiter in rpom 1 of the superior court, was on her application for an allowance of $23 per week. f-ch-ulman was present and after his wife had told her story he presented his side of the case. He said that he had nude the acquaintance of Mrs. Schulman, who was then the divorced wife of Henry Taylor. Under questionable circumstance-s she had brought from him the Information of having the $400. The ex-soldier says that she at Vice suggested marriage and shortly aftr that they went to Crown Point and got their. license,. One of the first things f'he did, he alleges, was to suggest that she be given the $400 to buy furniture for their proposed home. He gave It to her and says she at once placed it in the bank in her own name. That was the last he paw of It. With It in her possession she began a campaign calculated to bring about a separation. Schulman's main object In appearing In the case was to regain possession of the money. He seems willing to have the decree granted. The court asked the woman what had been done w:th the money and she replied that r,ho had spent all of It with the exception of $50. The court refused to grant her petition for an allowance and suit money for the present. The hearing on thd decree will be taken up later. Mrs. Schulman also asks for $1,000 alimony.
