DUE TO DEPRESSION
SHOPS SHUTTING UP ALL OVER
THE COUNTRY.
TERRIBLE EFFECTS FELT BY
CHICAGO LABORERS.
Lack OF Currency Causes Several
Eastern Factories to Stop Work
n Great Rolling Mill in Pennsyl-
rania is Compelled to Close Its
Doors for the Second Time

/ Chicago, Aug. 31.-That thousands Of
men are out OF employment i'll Chicago
has been Il Self-evident fact for some
| time past, but the full extent of the
enforced idleness of laborers and me-
chanics i'll all branches of industry in
this city is not clearly apparent to most
people. Big industrial establishments
that III times of prosperity give en-
ployment to hundreds and thousands of
men areeither entirely shut down or
else dragging along with Il small frac-
| ton of their big working forces, and
some of these on half-time.
For Instance, their are the five mills
of the Illinois Steel company which
have Il regular working force of 11,OOo
men, every one of whom is now idle,
owing to the shutting down of the
millS.. The Deering agricultural i'm
plement works employs 5000 men
and all Of these are idle. Out of loo
men employed by the Mccormick reaper
works only 300 are ut work. All of the
LOGO employees of the Chicago Malleable
Iron Works are taking an enforced
lay-Otf. and but $50 of Wells, French
4 Cos force of 1.5OO men are at work
None of the 100 employees Of the
Grant locomotive works are nj work.
There are usually 22OOO men cmuloyed
i'll the various furniture factories of
the city, and employment is now fur
niShcd for but 1000 of these. And so
it goes throughout the whole list of
Histories.
Figures on the prevailing distress
have been obtained from Il number of
large manufacturing establishments,
and they show to what extent they are
AFFECTED and the number of men i'll
them thrown out of work. In Il dozen
local manufactures alone, which usual
ly employ 45,46O workmcn only 1920
are now at work, and many of them
on half-timc.
Although no figures have been OBJ
tanned from the building trades, it is
cStima ted that no less than three
fourthS of the carpenters, brtcRlaycrS
and plaStcrerS in the city are out OF
employment, while little or nothing
is doing in most of the machine shops,
marble and stone yards and tailor
shops.
The big fire ut South Chicago last
week which swept 50 many homes of
workingmen away in the short space
of an hour or two was not the only
misfortune suffered by them. Some of
them had not made Ill the payments
on their homes, which represented the
frugal savings Of Il great many years
of toll. and large number of the de
Stroycd homes were uninsured, so the
owners of these latter lost their all.
Right on top of this misfortune came
the shutting down of the big mills Of
the Illinois steel company, in which
most of the fire sufferers were employ
ed, so that they are now out of house
and home and work, and their case is
certainly Il hard one.

coins, and q small bundle OF heath or
heather a. the Scotch call Il. That
plant grows extensively on the high
lands, where Il Il the natural food for
