the COOK COUNTY ,uRy's REPORT.

Cook countys grand jury has found
forty-nine indictments as a result OIL
its investigation Of the labor dlrncul-
ties in Chicago. The president Oh the

store. The grand jury supplementeu
it with the following statement:
..rhat the city of Chicago for years
past has been infested with moral lep-
ers who preyed upon its financial and
social strength was known by the
most informed citizens. That reput-
able business men and reputable citi-
zens employed in all fields of labor
had been subjects of blackmail and
greed by these vampires, also was
well known fact"
It was made very clear to the jury
that union leaders have abused the
confidence of the workers and used the
power delegated to them to blackmail
business firms out of large sums and
buy an embarrassing or ruinous strike
against its competitor for price. 1t
was apparently an open market where
the business agents and officials of the
teamsters' union sold the privilege to
continue in business.
It liz to be hoped that the irregulari-
ties exposed by the grand jury's in
vestigations may be properly punished
but an indictment is nowhere con-
viction and least of all in Chicago and
the great cities of its class. There are
many loopholes of escape for criminals
between the grand jury and the peni-
tentiary.
Organized labor has sustained a Sc
we're blow in the revelations made to
the Chicago jury Its attitude in these
cases will have much influence on the
attitude of the public toward union
ism. 1t is up to organized labor to see
that the men who have exploited and
betrayed it are fittingly punished.

will be taken by the public as proof

Iot,N HAY AND "THE BREAD WINNERS,

DR.. Elijah Brown Jones, of the Bap-
fist pastorate in this city, with the
death of Colonel John Hay, recalls the
association of Hays name with the au-
thorship of the Bread Winners"
which the publishers of the Century
ran as serial in 1883. The publica-
ton of the "No Name" series has been
In progress for a few years but the
Bread Winners" was the first extend
ed novel given anonymously to the
public and many were the guesses as
to whom the work belonged. The book
bore certain marks that seemed clear
to the literary connoisseur that John
Hay should be held responsible for its
creation. The press Of the east gem
orally discussed the probability of Mr..
Hays connection with the book. This
Mr.. Hay would neither affirm nor deny
but said that there We're six people
who knew who wrote the book. These,
like Mr.. Hay, would neither affirm nor
deny any responsibility for its creation
Thus the matter stood and other liter
ary claims crowded it from the mind
of the reading public In 1893, Mr..
Henry Griffin, long time editorial writ
er on the Cleveland Plaindealer, told
DR.. Jones that he knew Mr.. Hay to be
the author of the Bread Winners"
Now that Mr.. Hay has passed away
perhaps his family will give, Mr.. Crit
fins statement their approval.
The story is social study dealing
with questions of living interest in our
civilization. The plot is in Cleveland
and the high social people of the book
are connected with Mr.. Hays house
hold, and that of his father, Mr.. Stone,
the engineer who constructed the Ash
tabula bridge, in the wreckage of.
which P. P. Bliss lost his life So great
was the humiliation of Mr.. Stone over
his failure as an engineer that he soon
suicided. Prior to this act he had con-
yeyed to the city of Cleveland tract
of land as public park and cemetery.
Mr.. Stones grave was the first made
in this cemetery and in it, also. is the
monument of President Garfield.
