Lposals.

Senator McCumber of North Dakota, the committee chairman, was pressing: his new bonus which he appered confident would ultimately provide a "satisfactory solution" of the tangled situation. Senator Smoot of Utah said that the McCumber plan had not altered his Intentions to carry his fight for his paid-up insurance policy proposal to the senate floor, if a majority of the committee refused to accept it. Smoot's proposal would eliminate .all cash compensation. HcCumber's would pro v hie cash for ex-service men entitled to $100 or less, according: to the length of their service in the AVorld wttr.

Industrial Diversity Boosts Our Pay Rolls The wide diversity of the 40 industries of the City of East Chicago gives it an advantage over other communities in times like these when business is reviving. Take gasoline, for instance. Our three refineries, Sinclaif, Standard Oil and Consolidated, share in the increasing orders for thi-s fuel. Our railway equipment shops have landed additional substantial orders, and our largest' steel plant is reported to be booked full in many departments for the first half of the year. Similarly in other industries chemical, tube, bar iron, rivets, etc., there is a marked increase, and 2,500 more men are employed than was the case a few months ago.

On the basis of an exservice man being entitled to $500 cash compensation, such a policy, Smoot explained, would be worth about $2,100 when the twenty years was up, or If its holder died in the meantime. Smoot opposed the idea of the policy being given a borrowing value at the end of three or five years, as was favored by some of his senatorial colleagues, as well as by spokesmen for the American Legion and other ex-service men's organizations. McCumber and several of his committee associates were insistent, however, thata paid-up insurance policy without any additional provision for cash compensation would not do. His plan conflicted with Smoot's In that and in several other respects, it was stated. "If we can only atrree on one plan we ought to be able to report a bonus bill within two weeks," Senator Watson of Indiana, but he appered dubio't3 as to whether this would be accomplished.

CONTRACTORS

OPTIMISTS

AT PROSPECT Smith and Sankey, Hammond painting and decorating contractors located on South Hohman atreet, are among the optimists who believe this will be a banner building year for Hammond. A report from the city hall authorized by Building Inspector Vis, says that yesterday before eleven o'clock building permits were issued aggregating $36,000. So it doesn't seem that Smith and Sankey are far wrong. Vis conours In the opinion, and while he says the total amount of money may not reach last year's figure the mimber of ibulldlngs will far exceed that of last year. The Masonic temple and other .large structures shoot the figures to heights that will be hard to beat for some time unless buildings of similar proportions are started this year. The flood of permits is principally (bungalows Just now and it Is not iaie prophecy to say that this is bungalow year for Hammond. Smith and Sankey say they are working at capacity with a large force of decorators, both on new buildings and old. Weather conditions have been very bad for the past six weeks, they say. and much work has had to be postponed. Last week there were a few good days and Hammond contractors surely took advantage of it. The firm says that plans for building and decorating shomld foe carried out now, as (Chicago is gobbling up all available men at handsome prices, and that later on good men can not be employed, other than those that are on the present pay-rolls. Smith and Sankey are among the leading contractors of the city and have tbeen a recognized success from the time they took over" the business of H. O. Young and company on So. Hohman street. Tinned pig tongues. Imported from America, have achieved a wide popularity for the midday lunch of British workmen. Nominate Otto G. Fifield for County Treasurer, primaries.
