Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1899-10-28

Reading Coal Company. Mr.. Claggett,
resident manager, occupies Helm street
from Hawthorn avenue to the liver:
the o. s. Richardson Coal Company
has no right to take up all the side
walk space on Hawthorne avenue, nor
has 1t any right to eight feet Of Elston
avenue for 400 feet Of frontage. The
gas company occupies Hobbie, Elm AMI
Helm streets. The Schcuncmann Com
pany has Its slabs and cordwOOd piled
on Elston avenue, near Division, until
1t crowds the public. The Eagle will
watch with interest for the Aldermanic
action in these matters.

How much does o. 8. Richardson or
Lenke pay at the City Hall for taking
up half OF Elston avenue north Of d.
vision street? How much does Scheun-
nemann pay, and to whom?

w. N. Elsendrath, the Chicago rep
resentative of the Leather Trust, and
who has not vet been indicted under
the antitrust law, informed a reporter
for The Eagle the other day that he
has been paying 'the city" $500 year
for years for the privilege Of occupying
Sangamon and Dix streets. Who gets
the money? Esendrath ought to be-
made to ten. The slush and dirt from
his tannery also fills up the subway
under the Northwestern tracks ut San
canon street. Who gets the money In
the Health Department for permitting
this outrage?
Rudolf Brand. Virgil Brand. the.
United States brewery, Joseph lister
and other big firms have to put side
walks In front of their places on Elstm
avenue. But Scheunemann & Co. and
Richardson, Leake Il Co., at Division
and ElstOn avenue, use the sidewalk
space for their coal yards. Who gets
the coin for this at the City Hall?

Why doesn't the States Attorney get
after the Tanners Trust? w. N. Eisen-
drath IL the vice president Of the trust
who resides In Chicago. Most OF the
Chicago concerns are In the trust. No
one seems to care about prosecuting
them. The Chicago firms which are
said to have entered into the new CON-
blnation and given their tanneries into
Its charge are w. N. Elsendrath & Co.,
the Lambeau Leather Company and
the Walker Leather Company. The
poor phOt0.engravers, who tried to
form a trust. were Indicted. What's
the matter with the tanners?
The high.prlced Rand. .McNally books
and the constant changes In text books
made to oblige this firm, which sup
ported Harrison by telegraph, cost the
people of Chicago $OOO.0OO this fall.
How long Is Mayor Harrison going to
allow the men who are closest to him
to 20 around sandbagglng contractors
for the city?
There IL not contractor for the city
who has not received visit from per-
sons connected with the Mayors office
with direct lntimation that they must
either put up" for the Organic SER
vices or get out of the city contracting
business.
More than that: Every poor young
man who works In the City Attorneys
or Corporation COunsel's offices and
who gets 81 month Is forced to put
up nearly one months pay for the Or
ganlc service or lose his job.
A contractor who only put two rows
of brick In big city tunnel where
three were required. was told that he
could escape prosecution by securing
Organic aid. He secured 1t.
The connection Of the Organic Ser
vice with the Rand-McNally deal is
well known, and members Of the Board
Of Education are obliged to report to
the Mayors confidential man before
doing business on anything.
The Mayor will hate you II you don't
do business with the Organic Service
Is the battle cry.
Attldavits are rallylng about this mat
ter from all sides.
Several brewers We're refused per-
mits to open summer gardens near the
parks because they refused to be bled
by the Organic Service already known
all over the State on account Of its
ability In the grating line.
%dA
We do not believe that Mayor Harri-
son will stand up for public and unllm-
lied grating in his name by men who
are close to him.

know about 10 per cent. sharksf Speak
