The Creation of a City

The Creation of a City.—An "incident," for it is so called, which shows the wealth and power of the great steel interests, is the building of the city of Gary at the foot of Lake Michigan in Indiana. Modern pavements, sewers, water-system, public buildings, etc., etc., to accommodate a city of 300,000 have been erected in the last four years. Here steel will be manufactured from ore brought from the mines of Lake Superior by water. Already the city has a $250,000 railway station, a $200,000 Y. M. C. A. building, a $500,000 hospital building, a $1,000,000 breakwater, 14 churches, 40 social organizations, hotels costing as high as $150,000. Houses have started from the framework in the morning, and the family have moved in at night. A congregation, of which a woman was pastor, wanted a church. The labor was donated; the work began at 1 P.M. the last day of the week; in the evening the workmen sat down to a dinner furnished by the women in a completed church 40 x 100, seated with 100 folding chairs; and the next forenoon services were held in the house. And yet it is said that not more than half of the people employed in Gary can find homes there. In a short time as a steel manufacturing center Pittsburg will take second place. In 1913 the Gary district will have 86 blast-furnaces, while Pittsburg has but 56. The power of great combinations is such now that they can make and break great cities.
