Hammond Clearing House Association Takes Initiative and HoIdsSpecial Session Prospects of an end of the buildlns; tie-up In Hammond, Whiting and East Chicago became brighter today than thev have been at any time since the lockout of tradesmen became effective, Tho Hammond Clearing House Association took tho Initiative following the appeal for action whlh appeared In The Times last night. A special session of the Clearing House Association was held this morning In which the stagnation of th. building industry was discussed . .,. and In which It was aeciaea to j the board of directors of the Ham-; mond Chamber of Commerce to tak e j up the matter and try to bring about j a settlement of differences. j The attitude cT the association is ' outlined in the roiiowing 1 esoiut i.-n ; which was adopted: "Whereas: The Building Trades Km-j ployer-s Association and the Building , Trades Council are at present tying, up the building industries of the city' and unable to compromise, producing ; a hardship upon the public, and "Whereas, in an article published tn Th Lake County Times demanding that some one take, the Initiative ana undertake to settle the Question on Its merits ; "Therefore, be it resolved, by the Hamond Clearing House Association that we ask the Board of Directors or the Hammond Chamber of Commerce, an organization that represents the whole perple of the city, capital and labor alike, to act In the capacity ot a committee and take such action as they may determine and express their idea publicly as to the basis of a Just and equitable settlement at once so city may proceed to go forward and men find employment. "HAMMOND CLEARING HOUSE ASSN." Contractors and craftsmen alike took little stock in the reports which came from Chicago this morning announcing that Judge Lanits had been selected to act as arbitrator In the Chicago difficulty. While both sides have given the Impression that they were waiting to see what Chicago does, many are of the opinion that the arbitration agreed upon wl:l md prove binding upon the general contractors who are the ones who really brought about the lockout. Chicago contractors are divided Into two organizations. One represents the general contractors and the other smaller sub-contractors. It Is with the sub-contractors organization that the dickering for arbitration has been going on and the general contractors are said to have refused to discuss any wage except the ones which they laid down when the lockout followed. Hammond contractors believe that thgeneral contractors wll r"fuse to start w-ork and pay the old $1.25 an hour rate pending the decision of Judge Landls and they pojint out that If these big contractors refuse, the smaller sub-workers will be unable to carry out their plan to open up work. OR. MB DIES AT HOSPITAL Another sudden death which clouded Gary with sorrow occurred at fiill) this morning at the Mery hosplt.il when Dr. William F. Julien. one of Gary's most prominent physicians and respecte dresldents pass, d away after a short Illness of pneumonia. The news came as n shock as there were but few of his wide acquaintance that were aware f his Illness. Although he was up and around until a week ago Dr. Julien has not been In the best of health for six or seven weeks. About a week ago he complained of a severe cold which later developed into pneumonia and caused his death. Dr. Julien was 47 years rid and a bachelor. He came to Gary eiglit years sgo to establish his home and profession and became known as tho city's foremost specialist in the treatment of eye. ear, nose and throat diseases. His practice extended over the entire county. He was a graduate of the Purdue University, the Rush Medics College and the .New lor .ue.jicti Socle school in New York City. II-. wa also a prominent ?.Ias.n and belonged to several other fraternal organizations . Funeral arrangements have not been completed at this hour. It is probable that burial will be made at the former home at Delphi, Ind. Death of Mrs. Brewer Rebecca J. Brewer. 74 year old of He.sBville. died at St. Margaret's hospital night before last. The funeral will be held Monday morning at H o'clock and interment at Lowell cemetery In charge of Burns.

OH LORD, HOW MUCH LONGER Everybody in tins locality wants good times, except the glumphizzes and the gloomy gusses. They rather enjoy dull times so they can croak and grunt. There are more croakers and gruntcrs in the Calumet Region now than there have been for many a long day. But neither Hammond nor any other city in the district is going to have good times when to important a constituent of its wage-earning population as the building mechanics are taying down on the job and refuse to work because their employers won't pay them more than a dollar an hour. How can cities have prosperity when everything is going out and nothing coming in? When a city's building tradesmen, numbering thousands, are idle for

weeks, and to support their families are

ing loan associations and banks their hard-earned savings, the economic situation i3 bad enough to be desperate if it is permitted to continue. The situation in Hammond is serious enough to warrant an immediate remedy. There is no use to butter parsnips; we might as well call a spade a spade. The financial resources of the city are being wasted for idleness, for idleness is waste; any business man or banker will confirm the fact that unless the building industry

i js resumed in the region very shortly

the depression become decidedly marked. Capital will stand these hammer blows just so long. An instance of conditions, one among many might be given in the proposed sale of the $275,000 piece of school property. There wasn't a bidder

who would set a figure. The sale was lost. It was proposed to put a hand-! some building on it, but who would be simpleton enough to endeavor to put j up a costly building when men prefer to be idle rather than work for a dollar I an hour. These conditions obtain all over the Calumet Region. Five million;

There surely ought to be leaders of thought and action in Ham-j mond as well as in other towns who will be public-spirited enough to strike; for action and strike forthwith.

Task Of Keeping Flag On Seas To Ea Left To Private Enterprise. BY GEORGE R. HOLMZ.1 rsTfr- copwr'onrET l , sTvicn WASHINGTON. June 1L The United States government Is golni to get out of tho shipping- burlr.es3 Just as fast as Is conslster tly possible. Already having suffered financial losses that mount Into tho mll'-ions 13 the operation of the govt rtuaent fleet, facing a net loss of nearly three billions In the liquidation of the shipping bird's affairs, and with th whole shipping situation a prolific source of criticism and condemnation in congress, administration leaders have decided that the bes-t thing to do for the fovfrrment nd for the furtner of the nation's mercantile Interest generally is to pft out of the business, bag and baggage, and leave to private enterprize the task of keeping th American flag on the seven ceas. This will bo the policy laid down by President Harding nirnsoif next m-fn when he nieU3 with the new shipping board f-..r the first time to take an inv. ntory of the situation.

The purchaser was William R. Anderson, brother-in-law of George Kncerzer, who lives at the corner of Hohman street and Zachau avenae. The seller was Henry C. Millies, formerly with the American Steel Foundries Co. Nothing could better Illustrate the rapidly mounting prices of residential vacant property in the choicer sections of tho south side. The highest price that was ever paid for the best Inside residential property in Homewood i ti $40 a front foot and not may sales have been made for that figure. Even Hohman street property between Waltham street and Glendale park may be bad for less than $44 a front foot. It Is true that sales of Hohman street property opposite Hsrrlson park, or the block Just sooth of the park have been made for . in J70 a front foot but that wag years ago . The choicest locations on the south side are now on such streets as Moraine and Forest In the Kenwood addition where main traveled streets are, avoided and the seclusion and quiet of inside streets Is the thing to be desired . This vindicates the plan of subdividing of Kenwood by which tho short east and west streets with their north and south exposures are replaced with the longer, quieter and more attractive north and south streets with their east and west exposures. An idea of the rapid Increases in values In Kenwood may be had tr"-n the fact th.at Henry C.
