General American Tant Corporation Expands at Steady Rate

The rapid business expansion of the East Chleagro plant of the General American Tank Corporation and with this Industry practically hemmed In on all sides, which threatens to retard its further growth, comeg the question. Where will this concern turn next for ade

quate propertiesT

There is but one answer: Purchase of the BalJwin Locomotive Works old site. MAY PIRCIUSE BALDW1S SITE It has been reported several times that negotiations for the purchase of the 372 acre site of the Baldwin Locomotive Works had progressed to the point of a sale. But with this company recently acquiring a small acreage to the north of their riant there Is now doubt manifested whether or not such a transaction would culminate during the current year. At the present thes spare acres adjoining? the company's plant on the north are being utilized as waste damping grounds and probably will never be used for the prospective growth of the General American's plant. It was said at one tinr that this land was acquired as residential sites for their employes. Since this statement has been contradicted by the company. Recently the East Chicago park hoard attempted to purchase a strip as an extension to Washington park throush from 144th to 145th sts., when they were advised that the General American expected to use this land for plant extensions. SPARRING FOR TIME Cramped in on all sides as they are now and with their rapid expansion of business, !t will only be a matter of time until the car Corporation will be forced to acquire additional acreage. Under the present plan of operations most of the several departments are congested. On one 6l(de Is the tank section, while on the ether Is the wood department. xIn the center of these two departments on Euclid ave. runs the South Shore tracks splitting the plant In two, hampering the company's efficiency and systematic operation as well as making it unsafe for their employes. Along FfclaU ave.. the plant Is cut la two erpln bi the "Green Line" tracks. By such handicaps and with the talk ct bun'nese handled, it is natural to assume that operations are r.ow running on an unsystematic basis. rROBAEJ.V RE-DRAFT PLAXT By acquiring the Baldwin acreage the Georal American would gala an outlet f.ir tho overgrowth of their plant and adequate space for the re-drafUng of the East Chicago plant. The purchase of this site would also assure the f&fety of the

main plant in Bast Chicago instead

of the possibility of its belnf? established !n WaTen, Pa, or Okla

homa, as has been mentioned by officials of this company.

EXPLOSION

Tl

LOOP ZONE

CHICAGO, Sept. 25 With a crash which rocked the entire loop district a terrific explosion occured early today in fhe nearly completed Illinois Merchants Trust Building at Jackson boulevard and Clark street. An Investigation of the blast revealed that it was caused by the explosion of the compressed air tank in the building. It was at first thought that a bomb had caused the damage. No lives were lost in the explosion but in addition to Covert, who was possibly fatally injured, four others received serious injuries. Lives of 40 workmen were imperilled. Arthur Covert, air compressor engineer, was taken to a hospital badly burned and bruised.

DAUGHTER CAUSES

FATHER'S ARREST

One of the most sickening cases ever aired In the annals of Gary police history was brought into the limelight this morning when a 16-year-old daughter caused the arrest of her father, a rail stralghtener in the mill, on most serious charges. The sordid details of the girl's story were almost unbelieveab'ie. Mrs. Marbough, police woman and Juvenile officer, who handled the case, told a reporter she had never heard its equal. Prosecuting Attor. ney Dwlght M. Kinder stated that he would probably file charges direct in the Criminal court at Crown Point. The father Is Thomas Ayers. He came to Gary two years ago, but did not bring his wife to Gary until some six month sago, according to Mrs. Ayers this morning, who stated that she had to work most of the time. The daughter, Glady Ayers. says she has been the brute father's victim since she was a!x years old. "I did not know any better," she said, crying, "and he has abused me as long as I can remember." "He told me if I told my mother or anyone he would kill me, so I was afraid to tell anyone the trtith tsntll it was too late." She stated she believed that she will become a mother and that h had used another daughter, now married, in the same manner. The story came to the surface on August 28th. when the father had mistreated the daughter. According to her confession, he saw her talking with a school boy friend. He fairly dragged her to her home and brutally boat her with a razor strap. The same afternoon, she told a Gary woman her story. Mrs. Ayers was also called to the station and stated that ahe would prosecute ' the father.
