HARBOR MAY HAVE

NEW

ARMORY

Federal Inspection of Engineer Company May Come Next Week. Judging from the maneuvers around the Indiana Harbor Company D headquarters of the 112th Engineer Regiment on Michigan

avenue there is to be an Inspection soon. Everyone from buck private to Captain Wallace can be seen measuring himself up according tc I. D. Ii. soeciflcations. A reminiscence of '17 '18 days when an army of civilians, disbursed from Chicago and Indiana Harbor Ino southern cantonments, there hurriedly equipped and forced through intense training, is in evidence at the Harbor armory today, preparatory to whipping that organization Into shape for federal Inspection by next Tuesday evening. Seventy men are to be fuHy equipped and mustered into military condition by then so as to meet the scrutinizing glances of a regular army officer. BATTAblOX COMMANDER. Captain J. M. Wallace, who is said to be slated for commanding officer of the new battalion now being organized In this district, seems to bo optimistic over the outcome of a federal Inspection of his outfit.' "There are a few men in my company who I am a little leary of," said Captain Wallace, "but taking the organization as a whole, I am proud to say we'll stand shoulder to s'ooulder with any outfit in the regiment when It comes to matching a snappy and crack bunch of men." BATTALION HD(t. IX HARBOR. A speculative rumor Is current that there Is a movement afoot to construct a new armory In Indian Harbor, estimated to cost 1100,000, to house and accommodate a full battalion cf troops. The units making up the third battalion of the 113th Engineer Regiments are: Co. I, commanded by Captain Wallace, organized last fa.ll in Indiana Harbor, i practically recruited to peace time strength. Co. E, under command of Captain Franklin Glenn, as yet hasn't completed organization. A medical attachment, a unit composed of about twentyfive, has recently been formed. With the organizing of companies In Whiting, Hammond and a battalion headquarters, a full battalion of engineers will have been rtcruited from these parts.

LABOR-BOARD

INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE CHICAGO. March 24 Bitter controversy broke out before the United States Railroad Labor Board today as the row between Railway officials and the shopmen over whether the wage Issue is properly before the board came to a close. Charges of bad faith and "frameups" were hurled back and forth. The shop crafts have declared that the wage cut wag ordered by a small committee of executives and that individual roads had no authority to negotiate a new wage scale with the men. "Preposterous, ridiculous," was the reply to this charge today of John W. Hlgglns. executive secretary of the Western Railroad Executives association. Hlgglns accused the shopmen of testoring to "strategy, coldly calculated to Interfere and delay." He declared that the shop crafts' demand for a five cents an ho-ur increase above the original railroad board away was a "frameup" to off

set the announced demand for a

wage cut and designed to throw all cases before the board. "The shopmen had no liberty of negotiation, whatever," he said. "They were there to disagree," He said the shopmen wanted to know all about the gross and net earnings, future prospects, ability to pay, traffic fluctuations subjects they never dreamed of asking Jbe-
