STRIKE BREAKERS BROUGHT !
HERE AND ABANDONED

Jobless, penniless, starving, five
'strikebreakers," deserted by the one
who hired them, shambled into the
Office of the department Of public
welfare to pleal for means to return
to their home in Cincinnati.
They had been brought to Chicago
to do scab work for contractors who
had locked out union fathers. The
contractors had found they had no
use for them, so they kicked them
out and told them to beat it,
These five have learned that the
path trodden by "strikebreaker" IS
not a primrose one. They have not
only lost caste with wOTkingmen who
are fair, but they, have been gleefully
knitted by an. employer who no long
er required their services. For them
as it always is for all strikebreakers,
it was a game of heads you win,
tails l lose.
In crafty they are not strike
breakers though that is what they
hired as-for there is no strike of
fathers. The fathers did not strike.
They were locked out.
1--WE we're hired in Cincinnati Tues
day night" the men told Commits
sioner Ieonora q. Meder. "Our fare
was paid to Chicago. We were told
this would be taken out of our salar-
les. In Chicago we went to an office
where a man named J. w. Shelby,
who said he represented A. D. PEGGY,

tracts.
AT Pecoy's office we were turned

ton that may prove unpleasant for
some members of the Employers and
Contractors assn.
Cummings was seen. He admitted
the story of the men was substan-
TALLY true. He seemed proud to
show the contracts which the men
signed, and which seemingly leave
them no right to recover damages.
The contracts were signed by ]. w.
Shelby for The Empire Construction
Co.
The five Wretched Cincinnatians
who were so easily duped and as
easily thrown on the junk heap by
their employer are: Isaac Jackson, A.
C. Sparks, Tom Allen, ROb't Van and
Harry Lenhardt.
Far from holding animosity, White

whom the men were scabbing, will

to straighten out the difficulties of
the misguided ones.

1oNpoN. Oct. 2S.--The resignation of
NJ Niviani as French Premier has made
a profound impression upon the British
press and public. II is not doubted here
that II Is another far reaching effect OF
the German diplomatic and military Sic
cesses in the Balkans. The resign;U lon
came as "A surprise to- the majority of
l1ondoners, although the existence OF
friction in the French Cabinet had been
known for some time
Minor changes had been predicted
when Theophile Delcasse resigned as
| French Foreign Minister and the an
nouncement of his successor had been
expected to-day. II is generally believed
in high political circles here that Viviani
is the strongest man in France to-day.
II is being pointed out that the Ger
man blow in the Balkans caused a
political upheaval all around Nivianrs
fall comedies with Great Brtain's de-
! cision 10 reconstruct The War Council
and to eliminate from the group con-
the reconstructionists to be Unnecessary
and harmful
Men of high standing declare that the
French Government was unable to with
stand the indignant protest that fol-
lowed Delcasse's resignation which was
hailed In the German press as a triumph
of the kaiser's diplomacy. Some con-
slider il probable that Delcasse will BE-
urged to return.
BRAND is believed TO be the strongest
man 20 replace Vivian. and the appoint

as he had only Just received the third

Some opposition to postponement
was put forward. the Left wishing to
