The new rates, which are an advance of from 33 to 60 rer cent ever the old schedules, were denounced as unwarranted bv the visitors. One of tho leading citizen? of (V .ountv, uho is in Cose touch with the Ixke "county affairs. made tho predic Tion that the service commission will cant a further increase of rates to th" f-lephone company within the next sixty d ays. x?tin of protest by chambers or commerce were suggested by leadingEiko county cities were, suggested by the Calumet region citizens as being a possibility in tho near future.

The telephone case is not the. only action of the commission which has aroused the Lake county utility patrons with tho pat few weeks. The commission authorized water rates for East Chicago which were regarded a." almost confiscatory, but the timely intervention of Governor McCray prevented the exorbitant schedules from going into effect. A delegation of East Chicago citizens called on the Governor and exPlained th situation. The Governor was amazed at the rates and immediately told the committee that he would T."t allow them to go into effect. Members of the committee, having in mind the futility of previous protests against actions of the commission asked: "What assurance havo we that this schedule will not go into effect?" "You have tho word of the Governor of Indiana." Governor McCray, replied. The Governor kept his -word and called E. I. Lewis, chairman of the. commission to his office and ordered the schedules revised. CTV INTERESTED IN THIS ELECT!

O A certain case of satisfaction seems to prevail within the oily of Ka?t Chieago, for everyone 4 s as? a red of the fact there will be no iipre addition? to the list of candidates fur mayor or other office? as tiling was closed at midnight Saturday. The above, are th candidates for mayor of the city of East Chicago, as gi en out by tin: city clerk. It is hinted that each party had an outpost on guard and on the last day for riling their candidate? fruni the Citizens to the Independent ticket. While the Citizens party hasn't been considered obsolete, yet candidates doubt the possibility of the independents reverting to the Citizens ticket. Two or three new faee ha've entered the ring and one -.ho had announced himself in Tin Times, as a candidate for mayor has dropped out. James H. Burntf. president of the council has dropped out of the race, account, as it is eald, of boing ijured and unable to handle his campaign, but instead has filed for re-election to councilmau-at-largc. REALTY BOARD JLCDQ PflQT The Hammond real estate board in itd session today at the Lyndora hotel decided to take the lead in encouraging the building of new homes by reducing Its commission on new houses 20 per cent from the present real c.natc board rate. This followed & reduction recommendM by the committee headed by Secretary-Treasurer William J. Hastings, on the rate that has been charged during the past year. i?o the Hammond real estate board is making two concessions to stimulate hou?e building. One in its general rates and a special concession to all builders. This is in rococni & on of the prevailing tendency to get back to normal. LAST TO RAISE TIATES The real estate man was the 1at to raise his rates. II" had been strugg'iinjj for two years with inflated prlce.s before his commission rates went up And the reduction is made in the face of conditions which make the real estate man's over-head greater than ever before. Another thing the Hammond real estate board took a decided stand on. is the question of "net listings." For years the Hammond real estate man has been getting away from the practice ef listing a hou.e as low as he could and then asking the buyer for what he thoug"ht the property iraa worth. From now on no property will be listed except on the regular brokerage basis. That means that only the regular commfsfion and no more, nil! be earned by a member of the real estate board who make a sale. msviiMs asricio' This means that the public will know, from now on, that any membev of the Hammond real estate board i making a fair commission on sales and no more. The commission rate established by the board is necessary to cover the cost of advertising, automobile expense, office es:pnsen ant oforth, that are incidental to the conduct of a modern real estate office and give the brolter fair compensation for his time and Investment. The Hammond real estate board expects to put the business in Hammond on a basis that will deserve public confidence and support and the first move is erpected to prove Its good intentions along this line. From now on meetings of the board will be held at the Lyndora every two weeks. In the near future membership cards will be Issued to be hung In a conspicuous place wo that board members can be Identified. Eighteen Deaths in Gary Last Week The grim reaper took a toll of eighteen deaths in Gary during the! past week according to the weekly re- 1 port issued by the department of the board of health in Gary. This Is considered exceptionally high for the spring season, considering th fact that contagion is at a low ebb at the present time. One of the 18 deaths was caused from pneumonia while tho other seventeen are attributed to miscellaneous causes. Contag ion cases dropped down to seven dur- j ing the past .seven day ending Satur-j day.

A genTal strike by the entire "triple alliance' -miners, railwayman and transport workers is to be reckoned with, the cabinet concluded at a meeting- just before the opening of th parliament session called by King George as an emergency measure for this afternoon. I're-mler Lloyd George and the other ministers are understood to believe such a strike is inevitable and to have discussed plans to cope villi it. If the railmen and transport workers actually join the miners it will be the first "triple alliance" strike in the history of the kingdom. In every previous controversy, such a walkout v as avrted at the eleventh hour. Strong' police detachments were sent to Fife, vhero serious trouble was threatened. Lord lliodisl-ie spent the Sunday stoking at his colliery at Lidney. Other cal magnates, titled and otherwise, did the panic. livery hour brings fresh proof of a solidarity in the ranks of British labor such as has not been recorded in any previous industrial crisis, The pumping crews are falling In lino behind the miners' federation and railmen nnd transport workers everywhere are unhesitatingly declaring their intention of standing by tho miners, if necessary ,by walking out immediately. Stoppage of work in the mines of Scotland v Jitc.h lagged somewhat behind those of the rest of the, kingdom is now complete. Several important -teel plants, dependent upon coal, havo given a week's notice to their men that they will have ' to shut down. A delegation of shipyard worker' were scheduled to meet the minister of labor tills afternoon at a conference at which they will resist any reduc-1 tlon of tho present wage rates. The organization of volunteer emergency transport workers is causing much bitterness in the ranks of labor. Tho middle class union, the 8-ovfrnmenfs strongest ally in previ-j ous strikes, again has given notice that it is ready to furnl-h thousands of volunteers. James Henry Thomas, the rallmen's leadc-r, has thus far observed absolute . s ilenc-e concerning his plans. Ho expects to state tho, rase of labor in the house of commons late todav.

ALLAN

GETS TELEPHONE BILL,

i Charles Friedrich Starts a Rip-Snoring, Gen. Dawes Campaign How Charles Friedrich got into the political arena as challenger of the title holder for the mayorship of Hammond Is a tlory that deserves to be told. It appears that Friedrich's candidacy was not premeditated. It wasn'l brought about by a co'mmlttee of prominent citizens or by feeling out his friends. When Charles came down to hla office in the Hammond building the other morning ho hadn't the remotest i oadurfe ETA ETA ET ET E motest idea of running for mayor. But when he read his mail and found a bill from the telephone company markup from to $8. his hat was in the j ring. His remarks about that telephone are the planks in his platform, "I stand for an administration of the people that will fight for the city against the utilities," said Friedrich. "The idea of the telephone company arbitrarily increasing its ra.tea forty to seventy per cent without the city putting up a right. The raise may t r may not be Justilled. T will make it my business as mayor of Hammond to find out before hand and to prevent profiteering by the utilities. The increases havo been coming so fast that the people are being burdened. "An inerease rate for the etreet car company, the gas company, the telephone company or any public utility is of the utmost concern to the people and I v ill tight their battles and their interests.'' Friedrich is not without experience in this sort of thing. Many years ago he enjoined the city from selling the waterworks to the Iaka City Water Company and lie enjoined the sale of the Central school property. The waterworks is his first love and he promises to stop the tranfer of funds; from the waterworks fund to the general fund po that there will be money for extensions and better service, "And moreover." said Charles, "We'll make the street tar company give us better service or we'll make them quit." BEVERIDGE MAKES TWO Tho Hon. Albert J. Bevertdge. who spoke at the First Presbyterian church last evening undT the auspices of the Men's Club, thrilld the large audience which paekej the church with one of the most inspiring speeches ever heard in Iake county, and offered them a wonderful insight into the constitution of the Cnired States as to its formation and the methods by which many of its most cherished articles were brought into being. Ex-Senator Bcverdige cited three cases of the United States Supreme Court in which the decisions of Chief Justice John Marshall were instrumental in making: this nation different in government from any other. The cases which the senator discussed vera that of Marbury vs- Madison, in which the decision of Marshall gave to this country the principle that the courts of America have the power to decide ss to the constiutional ity of any legislation; the treason trials of Aaron Burr, which gave birth to the principle that a man accused of treason can be convicted only by the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act. or by confession in open court, and the case of Fletcher vs. Peck, which decided that contracts cannot be broken by state legislation, thus preserving the sancity- of faith in American business. Be eridge went on ti discuss the character of John Marsha!'., a history of whose life he has written in pursuance of a boyhood resolve to give to this country the biography of this great but little known American. He pointed out that every opinion of Marshall has proved to be a state paper, bringing into being wmie of the greatest principles of this country. Ex-Senator Beveridge spoke in Gary earlier in the day and was slightly delay on his trip to Hammond, causing tho audience to wait a short time for his arrival.

APPEARS II INQUIRY

Bricklayer's Union Chief For 25 Years Testifies in Hammond Building Quiz FIFTH INSTALLMENT. The testimony at the North to- nsMp building probe in Hammond of Senator James Nejdl. president for "o years of the bricklayers' union and a man whose record as state senator ha-3 been a creditable one, is naturally of (jreat interest. Mr. Nejdl represents tho more conservative of the crafts and is one of the more conservative type of labpr representative. He even boasted thit he had cailcd very few strikes in the reriod of time during which he had represented the unions. Senator Nejdl took exception to the statements that had been made by con. tractors regarding tha number of brick a. union bricklayer will lay today ad compared with several years ago. He made a very plausible explanstion of this matter. He stated that on straight vail with a few apertures where common brick are laid that the bricklayer will do as much today as he ever did. He said under these conditions that an average day's work for bricklayers on an eight inch wall is 1,300 brick, on a twelve inch wall, 1,500 or 1,600 and on a twenty-inch wall it -Bill go 2,000 or better. But, the senator explained, on the pressed brick front of yoars ago tne bricklayer would not put up more than 50 to 700 brick a day. "In those days." said Mr. Nejdl, "the brick were all laid with a one-eighth inch joint. When you laid t there it stayed there. Today nine cut of every ten buildings, for the exterior, they specify a paving brick or what you call a matt faced brick. They don't stop there but they v. ill ay wc want a threc.quartcr inch mortal joint. "The brick are impervious to moisture. The, brick floats around in the mortar and the brieklayer must hold it until it sets and then they have to strike those joints four or fivo hours afterwards. That naturally brings up1 the cost of brick-laying." i Mr. Nejdl made the statement that j the contractors have the right at any, time to hire or fire men at will. If aj man is working on a wall and is not! doing hii littlo bit as the wall goes up the contractor will say, "John come dow n, here is your money," whether it be nine o'clock, ten o'clock or Quarter to twelve. Senator Nejdl made the positive statement that the only difference in cost today and then is the difference in wages the men re-cele. And this difference, he says, is largely taken up by the increased cost of living. The statement was made that Mr. Harbau?'i's statemon that the men work for less in the mills than on outside ojb3 i true to a certain extent. He said that before the first of last February the difference in favor of the ' mills was five to ten cenUj an hour. ' Since then, he admitted later on, tfc ! difference was 33 cents an hour. j This difference he explained is due to the faet that -ho men have steadier employment. He faid that a man on insldj work could make twice as much money- in the course of a year thaji thej man on the ojtside. He .-aid he and his men had never had any trouble! w ith the corporations. He said they were not looking for trouble but for) work. He said the corporations had given them work and the outsiders had not. Then he went into the question of the o-ift of building materials and showed the great increase that has! taken place since 19i:,. When the I chairman took exception to comparisons that showed only figures when they were the lowest in !10 and cmpared them with those at th peak in(Contitiue.l on page rive.)
