BY J. BART CAMPBEULk (STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERV1CE1 WASHINGTON, June 8. Charges by retail coal dealers that Secretary Hoover's soft coal prlce-flxlng- agreement with the operators will boost the price to them at least 100 per

cent are H'kely soon to be Investigated by the senate labor committee, ' Senator Borah, republican of Idaho, its chairman, Indicated yesterday. Senator Walsh, democrat, Massachusetts, whose resolution calling upon Hoover for complete information regarding the coal situation, and his connection with It, was passed recently by the senate, declared he would demand the full light of putblicity be shed upon the conference Hoover had with the soft coal operators on May 31. It was suggested by both Borah nd Walsh that the proposed investigation would probably deal with (1) . The right of a member of the ' president's cabinet to fix prices. (2) Whether a price fixing agreement between Hoover and the oper- ' ators is not in violation of the antitrust laws. ; (3) Whether the price of J3.80 a ton at the mie fixed was not "excesive" and has not become the minimum but the maximum price. , "Vrsless the situation as already reported to us by the retail dealers Is not soon corrected I believe a congressional inquiry will become absolutely necessary," Walsh said. - Borah arid Walsh went over the situation with L. W. Ferguson, president of the Chicago Coal Merchants' association and Roderick Stevens, head of the board of directors of the Xatlonal Retail Coal Dealers association. Ferguson and Stevens alleged that the price fixing agreement was originally hatched at a conference of soft coal operators here on Memorial Day on which $3 a ton was first proposed and $3.50 then decided upon, before a subsequent meeting was held with Hoover at' which his approval of the $3.50 price was secured. They charge that before the price was fixed at $3.50, coal could be purchased at the mine for $1.75, but since the agreement was promulgated they have .ibeen unable to buy It for less than $3.50. a boost of 100 per cent.

Lot Beyers . The Finest Citizens in Town THE PRIME REQUISITES OF GOOD CITIZENSHIP ARE 1. Loyalty to your country. 2. MenArphip ia some drorch.3. The ownership of your own home. 4. That you he a worker not a drone.5. That you interest yourself in the improvement of the general living conditions and the promotion of the civic welfare of your city. That you avoid dependency in old age.

v Meet the Customer Who Has Decided to Own His Hone He is the man who has at last come to the realization that TIME AND TIDE WAIT FOR NO MAN. He sees his proluctive years slipping by with nothing laid aside. He remembers how he told his friend that it is cheaper to PAY RENT THAN TO OWN YOUR HOME. His friend disregarded such advice and owns his home. HE'S GONE THE ROUTE IN WILD-CAT INVESTMENTS and has now come to EARTH; THE ONE INVESTMENT HE REALLY KNOWS SOMETHING ABOUT.

Prospective home owners say Madison

Terrace is our crowning achievement- in

residential subdividing-

Meet the Customer Who Lives Id the Old Section of Town He bought years ago when everybody thought they out to live within walking distance of the postoffice. NEIGHBORHOODS where houses are 25 and 30 years old are not desirable. The most shiftless element in the population eventually gravitates to such neighborhoods. The better element, the more prosperous class move into the newer districts. So this customer decides to rent the old house and build a new and modern one where the whole environment is up-to-date. He is the lot buyer who gladly grasps the opportunity to get away from REACTION, RETROGRESSION AND RELUCTANT REHABILITATION.

Residents of old residential sections are

I among the principal buyers of Madison

Terrace. It is their promised land.

Meet the Buyer of Lots for An Investment on the Easy Terms Plan Here is the customer who" has learned that you have got to have some incentive to save. HE BUYS A LOT AN DPUTS ALL OF HIS LOOSE CHANGE IN THE FIRST PAYMENT. He gets in the habitof making those monthly payments. Soon he takes pride in his growing equity. He sees his lot increasing in value. FACTORIES LOCATE, THE CITY GROWS RAPIDLY. THE HOUSING SHORTAGE BECOMES ACUTE, VACANT LOTS BECOME SCARCE. , Then some man who is forced to build in order to provide himself with a home pays him a handsome profit for hi property. IN -ALL OF OUR SUBDIVISIONS values have increased much faster than the carrying charges. This customer takes his profit and is ready for another investment.

There are few really good subdivisions that can be bought on the easy payment plan and Madison Terrace is one of them.

Meet the Man Who Wants An Investment In Property on a Business St. ' He is the man who has seen the Rimbachs, Tappers, Kleigehes and in later years such men as PAXTON, MINAS, McHIE and BETZ making fortunes out of business property on main traffic thoroughfares. His only chance is to buy these lots when theprice is cheap and hold on to them. Hammond, he knows, Hammond ought to have a population of 100,000 in ten years more. Ours is only a village compared to the metropolis it will be in ten or twenty years. Present business districts will be dinky compared to what the city will have then. He sees what fortunes have, been made in real estate in such cities as DETROIT. LOS ANGELES and SEATTLE and he knows that if the Jones & Laughlin Steel Cmpany builds and other industrfies locate that HAMMOND WILL BE ONE OF THE LIVEST SPOTS ON THE REAL ESTATE MAP OF THIS COUNTRY.

The Calumet Avenue business lots in

Madison Terrace sell for $375.00 to $500.-

00. That's getting in on the ground floor.

Meet the Builder Who Must Have Lots if He's Goin g to Continue Business He has seen vacant residential property growing scarcer each month. He has been paying higher and ever higher prices for building sites. He has found that the one place in the whole district where he never gets stuck on a house is on the south side. To build elsewhere is a gamble. He buys where people are strong for improvements such as sewers, sidewalks, pavements, parks and boulevards. He knows well that such things bring boosters. The builder knows that buyers are refuctant to put their money in a neighborhood where the only new thing is the house he is asked tobuy.

Builders will never again have the op

portunity to get. real building sites for so

low a figure. Little left in Hammond, Kenwood and Maywood.
