LUTHERANS TO DEDICATE NEW BUILDING

Building Cantractors Association Will Want No Longer For Hen

1151 I.I.KTIV.t Hammond. Ind.. &vp'. 1?, i''-l The Building Trades Employers Association of Hammond at a special meeting in their room in the- Citizen--' National Bank Building, last night, unanimously adopted the "open shop'' in regard to the carpenters. To go in effect Monday morning, provided tnnt no settlement has been arrived at before that time. The above association agrees that they will protect any an 1 all carpenters, that go to work at th SI. 00 per hour, against any fines th.it may be placed againts them by 1.munion. The condition that brougb' about this resolution, was the absolute refusal of the carpenters to accept wages and working conditions !n line with the Landls decision. The bricklayers and the building laborers have agreed and are working under the Landis wage and working conditions. The electricians have accepted and are working under the Landls wage scale. The plasterers and the plumbers have agreed to accept the caie adopted by their trades In Chicago. The Association is negotiating with a number of the other crafts with a fa'.' chance of a settlement at an early date. June the 16th at a public meeting, at the Chamber of Commerce rooms, called by the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce and the Clearing House Association, in an endeavor to clear up the building situation it was recommended and adopted to adjust the wages and conditions in th;s district according to the Landis decision, and the Association contractors agreed to accept this proposition and still stand rearly to make agreements and continue work in accord with the Landis rulings. BUILDINO TRADES EMPOTEKS ASSN. By committee. This means that for the'first time In many years the open shop wil prevail Monday morning in one of the oldeat of Hammond's organized crafts unless by some apparently impossible hustling on the part of the parties concerned an agreement can be reached in ths next thirty-six hours. The contractors of the Building Trade Employers Association decided to take the step at a meeting last night In which the situation was disc-used from every angle. It waa estimated that at least fifty carpenters would report for duty Monday morning from assurances which had been received from men In person. How many more will accept the opportunity to work at $1 an hour remains to be seen. The proposition which had held back many of the men from accepting work under open shop conditions waa th? practical certainty that they wouU have a fine placed on them by th:v union and In case a settlement between the union and contractors was made later they would have to pay th fine and probably face suspenslou which would leave them out In the cold. The contractors In their announcement, agree to protect the men again: s"jch fines and penalties. Any agreement entered into in the future wji: probably contain the stipulation th.Vail former union men who aocepte-i work in the present crisis must be reinstated without penalty. Representatives of the Klwanis and Rotary clubs met with a committer irom the Carpenters District Council last night but the mee.ting accomyiished little. Before taking a stan '. on the niatttr the club representativ -are going to hold another session -aight in which the results of their i:. visiigations will be sunied up. Members of the carpenters union. s said, are exhibiting copies of tiv old agreement submitted by the contractors and tentatively accepted by the carpenters last July. They poin to it as a breach of faith on the pai : uf the contractors. The employe il.old that acceptance of the greemtndepended upon the carpenters votlr.n favorably upon the limination of two working rules, namely: the one. forbidding a contractor to use toois on his own job and the one forbidding th use of materials which did not bear the union label. The carpenters refused to btrike thete out when the vote was taken 90 the contractors hold that the agreement was nuillti-d oy th.-ir action. Contractors are- hoping that enoug-i nwn report to work on all of the big jobs, tbe high school, the home of ti.-i Sisters of Providence on Sibiey St.. the Klks Home and the Masonic Ttmpic but t;uy are (.specially desirous t, li.ive t lie work resumoj on the firs', two because of the public clamor which has been aroused over thu suspension at su -h a critical -r.-rioj . UNUSUAL OFFER AT MAJESTIC STUDIO The Majestic Studio announce n The Times today a special offer for a, fii.trt time only, on size four by s S pia photographs in seven by eleven fold'-ry at one half the regular price. The Majestic is the first studio in Hammond to announce a reduction in prices and Mr. Belch the manager, says timt this Is due to the demand for th" pictures that naturaly takes place a. the younger folk leave for their different schools. Tho Studio will tie i-;rn al! day Sunday and appointment can ic made for evening sittings by phone. It ha.s b-cn the impression by those who have had a desire to have their pictures taken that could not do so during the day time that an evening s'ttmg would not bring as good results. Mr. It'ich says that with his speci.ii and newly installed lighting arrangements his studio can be made lieh:r than clay litrht at any time of the ds.y or night and that results are j .si a certain when the pictures ace taken at night aa during the da.y
