Mr. Kaa. president of the United i'er Heating & Foundry Co.. ol Hammond, who was a general foreman at Gibson shops for years. expressed the conviction that he coul 1 so organize the 'Jtbaon shops that it c-uld do the w-ork in competition with any plant. The manacfnun! has derided to give him that opportunity, and will turn the shops and roundhouse over to the United Boiler Heating & Foundry Co. on Aug. I' . "The United o.impany will operate this shop the same as it d s its -ire?-ent plant. It will have the right to take on repair work for ethers besides the Indiana Harbor Belt company. It bid en the hivy repair work of '.he railroad rompeny in com.-oetlti m 'v:ih other b .co-motive repair shops. "Mr Nau serins sanguine that under this p'an he can, not only bring r.ov repair work to Hammond. but that eventually he can do aJl of the locomotive work of the railroad company at Gibson shops, whereas much 0? it has heretofore been aent elsewhere for repairs." The Gibson shops are the largest and best equipped in this part of the country. Chicago has only two plan's wh.ii h appre.-ach their capacity.
