The object in holding back the labor
ers payrols is to force the poor. hard
working men to 20 to the sharks for an
advance.
The holding back of laborcrs' pay
rolls still continues. however. and the
City Treasurer will certify to this fact
to any citizen who asks him.
When one remembers that most of
these city laborers have families de
pending upon them for support,
That none of them have cent ahead
in the world,
That some of them are aged men.
The crime Is one which cries to
Heaven for vengeance!
1t is bad enough to rob the policemen.
fircmcn and well-paid employees.
But the robbery of the day laborers
now practiced at the City Hall in order
to enrich a few upstnrts is Infamous!

Scratch Deputy Sheriff +. Y. Clo,dt

The idea of throwing business men
like Mallctte and Eckhnrt off of the
drainage ticket and substituting men
like Deputy Sheriff Cloidt in their
places is not relished by the people.

II would look fine to run Schlake

Ono OF the worst of all trusts Is the
Brick Trust. Yet 1t has the gall tc
want its secretary. "Blll" Schlake

The people want lower fares more

How many school officials stand II

Postmaster Of Chicago.

The payrolls for the laborers In every
department are made up twice q month.
But through the cOnnivance existing
between certain department heads and
the sharks, the laborers' payrOlls never
reach the City Treasurer until five
weeks after they are made out.
The reason for this Il obvious.

1t Is the favorite pastime of the lead
ing men in the City Hall. who get rake.
offs from the. sharks for the privilege
of shaking down their subOrdinates, to
blame the whole thing on the City
Treasurer.
The Chiefs of Departments ARE to
blame.
Many of them are as hearticss as they
are crooked.

School teachers above all others

Yet hundreds of them are under obli-
cations to merciless money loaners who

So used are the sharks to running the
police and fire departments of Chicago.
So easy Is 1t for the sharks to rob the
very Jurors of the Cook County courts
of their per diem.
That they believe they can wipe up
the earth with the United States OF
America.
The United States has n National
bankruptcy law. passed for the pur'
pose of relieving the overburdened.
Among the overburdened were sew.
cral members of the Chicago police
force. who were forced to borrow
money from sharks. and who had long
since paid the principal on their debts.
But these poor men. like many Others
who were grasped by the tentnclcs of
the devililsh. were so deeply In debt
10 the sharks for interest owed on in
terest at the rate of 10 per cent. II
month that the only way they could
free themselves from the octopus was
by taking advantage of the Federal
bankruptcy act.
They took advantage of this act. had
an open hearing in the United States
Court and We're duly freed from their
debts.
The sharks at once had them arrest
ed in defiance of the Federal law, not
I'm one Justice court. but in three. and
openly announced their intention OF
prosecuting these poor men until they
gave up the money which they do not
owe.
This prosecution still continues.
A more brazcn violation of the bank
ruptcy law,
A more outspoken contempt for Fed
eral authority and especially for Fed
eral courts. could not be found any
where.
The United States District Attorney
should have these sharks rai!roaded to
the penitentlary without further delay.
And every justice and constable who
aids or abets them should be jailed
for contempt ut once.
~6\
one of the dlrtiest and meanest
tricks turned by the City Hall grafters
who are In with the sharks IL the sys-
tematic plucking of the poor day labor
ers who work for the city.
II there are any men In the puDiic
employ who ought TO receive their pay
promptly, the laborers are the ones
who should.
They get less money than any other
public servants.
They have to work hard for what
they get.
They are out on the streets earning
their pittance by the sweat of thei,
brows, and yet they are
Robbed,
skinned.
Beaten, and
Cheated
out OF this pl,tancc by the combina
ton Of sharks and political scalawag.

FAMOUS LABOR LEADER.

John Burns. who was recently re-
elected to the British parliament by
London district. Is one of the best
known labor leaders in the world. AZ
a municipal statesman and parliament
tartan he has also gained fame. He IL
to the working people today what
John Bright was to the commercial
classes some forty or fifty years ago:
John Burns has had stormy career.
Many times has he been arrested and
put into prison for taking part In
strike riots. but the powerful speeches
which he made at the trials secured
his acquittai with his colleagues. A
member Of the London county conn.
ell he has accomplished wonders. The
local authority works Its men only
eight hours day. and Insists that all
contractors 1t employs for building.
etc, shall do the same. Besides re-.
ducing the hours of labor In London
from sixty-eight per week to ffty-four.
tho wages have been increased All
men receive ten days holiday In the
summer and six general hollcaya.
They receive medical attendance and
