TRAGEDY

OILING UP MAGH NERY

;ay publi Building Trades Employers' Association of Lake County ; Says They Will Continue i Fight Alone The Building Trades Employers Association has not relinquished its fight to "lower building costs," according to an article in the Indiana Construction Recorder, the official con tractors' publication. The article written by the B. T. E. A. of the county scores the public for lack of co-operation and charges that civic bodies of the county laid down and left the contractors to tight their own battle. The article follows. - TW A K MR TH I S. "It has been said repeatedly that the industrial situation today is vitally linked with public interest, particularly is this said to be true of the building industry. After puttingup a light for a year for a lower wage scale and revised working conditions both of which, if obtained, would accrue materially to the benefit of the public, the B. ,T. E. A.. has about reached the conviction, convinced by The Fublic"s attitude, that the said Public is only interested in so far as to letting some one else wage the b;ittle, stand all the expense, and bear the burden. Then, in the end. The Public is most willing to step forward to whatever benefits may result the fight, to collect the spoils. "Experience has taught usl reap from i that when it comes to The Public, as represented by civic bodies, or the individual, neither stands witling to be discomoiled: if inconvenience or real sacrifice is to be required to bring about success The Public, holds aloof ami is not willing to take an active part or contribute substantially to the success of the v-nture. On the other hand, in order to appear neutral. The Public by Its Inactivity thTows obstacles in the way and thvis binders victory. When a fight like this arises The Public seems intent enly upon diverting responsibility, shifting the burden. "pasing the buck" as it were. "Before the B. T. E. A., of the Calumet District. started in last year to lower the cost of building construction operations, the various committees were assured that they would have the undivided support of The Public in the big undertaking, iince then, as the fight grew hotter and hotter, more stubborn, it has been demonstrated to us that so long as only talk was involved we could get plenty of that. However, when concrete action was needed there was absolutley no e.ne or no body that was so strongly imbued with public spirit, as to come to the fore and make a stand for the great collective interest of the Dear Public. There were men who were loudest in their protestations against existing conditions-- those who vociferously urged, confidentially, that the contractors carry through the fight to lower building costs, and yet these "very men when called upon have refused to let B. T. E. A., members figure their projects lest they get in bad and lose a few votes sometime when they might come out for public office, or. that their business might suffer in that some man who carried a Union card would buy 1.1c worth of scrap tobacco, soap or other merchandise from a competitor. Henceforth we are no't going to be disappointed for we know now that we can expect nothing from The Public and we are not going to bank on the support of its representatives. "Nor have we quit; we are fighting not only to lower the building construction costs so people will have a chance to provide homes for themselves, so that employment may be provided for the man wno is willing to give an honest day's work for an honest day's pay, but we are contending for a principle as well, the principle that gives to the contractor the right to work on his own Job and be the boss of that work. "The whole thing has simmered down to the point where It is up to the contractors to take a new grip on the situation, strengthen their determination and following the policy and words of General eirant, 'fight it out along these lines if it takes all summer.' " DEATH OF E. M. WOLFF I SPECIAL TO THE TIMES1 .MANSFIELD, Ohio, March 27. E. M.

FORTY BID FOR Actual Construction on Project Under Way By April First. Actual construction work on West Hamjnond's new playground park is expected to be under way by April first. The board of park commissioners will hold a public meeting tomorrow evening at which the successful bidders for the contracts will be announced. The board asked for bids several weeks ago nnd opened them last Tuesday evening. There were forty bidders. Some gave proposals on the entire project: others covered only special phases of the construction. The board was so swamped that it was necessary to take some time in comparing t lie figures. Saturday a special session was held in which everything was tabulated. Tomorrow evening the park commissioners will announce which of the proposals met their approval and It is hoped to sign the contracts at once so that the contractors may start on the big job. Since acquiring the tract of land in the heart of West Hammond nearly two years ago, the city has been dumping rubbish into the low places. A baseball and football field was laid out last year. Some time ago George Hannauer. chairman of the board, predicted that West Hammond would have the playgrounds ready for use this summer, including a wading pool. It looks like the city is making good.
