Jl ,Jf 'ham TILL IDLE Other Crafts Will Soon Have To Cease Work Because Of Them Prospects for the completion of the additions to Hammond's Industrial high school building- this year were anything but bright today. Carpenters who quit their jobs yes terdav because thev would not awc?t the wage of $1 per hour, as provided by Judge Land is. were still Kile today and other craftsmen at work on the Ids,' project were slowly, but surely (. ear ing the point where They would be for ced to erase work because the carpenter work was not progressing with them. A further element of uncertainty was added when word came from Chicago that Judge Land; 8 ha 4 cancelled the rehearing which he had granted some o? the crafts for September 21. His action was taken when he learr. :- 1 that the men who had asked for the reopening of the arbitration proceeding were out on strike. In a telegram t Thomas Kearney, president of the Chicago Building Trades Council, he f : "When I wired you on Sept- V directing rehearing- on application communicated by the secretary of the Chi .-ago Building Trades council. I ha no Information that the trades Involved In the a: b; t ration agreement had struck. '"Certainly If sU'-h trades have gon out, the protest of the employers i. entirely justified and you will cisre gard rr.y telegram of Sept. 10 In these circumstances. Any further hearintunder the arbitration agreement w-oub-be perfectly futile." This Is taken to mean that unes the men who walked out return to their posts they can hope for no further efforts at arbitration through JudgeLa.ndi8. Opea shop in the lines where trouhl exists is beins talked freely by Chicagv employers but in Hammond the mem ; bers of the Building IV ides Employers Association are loathe to take such ; step. They have asked for a confer ence In which representatives of al crafts will participate but at noon to day had received no response. Tonigh tha Carpenters District Council w. meet and much Wends upon the actio; taTien at this session. The employer, have aaked f6r a meeting with repre sentatives of the district council to morrow evening. N'o plan of actio: will be adopted until after the con ference. Members of the Hammond Board o Education have received many anxiou inquiries last right and today iron people in all parts of the city. Mos of them had children in the high schoo and were well acquainted with the terrible disadvantage under wnich students and teachers are working- be cause of the crowded conditions and confusion which prevails. They realize that the job should be done as quickly as possible but the are also taxpayers and invariably expressed their approval of the action ot the echool board members in announcing' that they would not permit the contractors, who had taken the won on a basis of fl an hour and who had paid 1.25 for nearly three months to avoid labor trouble, to be penalized when work stopped because they tried to put in force an arbitrated wage. "From what I can learn," said onman yesterday, "the carpenters constitute about nine-tenths of one per cent of the whole population of Hammond. Yet the rest of the 40,000 people wlko are paying taxe.s to put : this building are expected to sit back and let this handful of men tell u how much we must pay for our build ing. It looks outrag-eous." Other big jobs In Hammond were laggrlng today because of the walkout of the carpenters. Some cf the contractors in order to keep the other crafts working were paying a couple o! carp-outers the high date to do work which was absolutely necessary. To cap it all comes the report tha: the sudden pickup in home building: will die aborning because financiers who ha ; supposed wrok would no-.v progress unhampered are alarmed at this new turn and will refuse to furnish mor.ej until things settle down.
