Ned and Frank Whittlesey, brothers
inherited an estate jointly. Ned. a
young army officer, was a spendthrift
and soon got the estate tangled UP.
After a consultation with their at
torney a plan was proposed by which
Ned should assume certain liabilities
which would force the creditors to get
service on him in order to commence
suit. As soon as the papers were
executed Ned went into hiding in or
der that such service could not be OBJ
tanned. the object being to delay judg-
ment and execution while efforts were
being made to turn certain portions
OF the estate into money with which
to save the rest.

attorneys got on to the game, and a

hunted Indians SO long and had learn

work in hand than one would sup

All honest union men will commend
the determination Of the states attor-
ney- Of Cook county to proceed against
the sIuggers and crooked business
agents of Chicago labor unions
Recent developments in Chicago
says the Springfield News Record,
have brought to light the fact that a
number Of parasites have been using
their positions as business agents to
extort money for themselves. They
have yictjmized both the employer
and the employe.
Such wolves hurt the labor cause
and no one should be more anxious
to drive them out than the union mem
bers themselves.
Usually these Erafters have a clique
IN the union who, because of mutual
profit. stand by them in everything
they do It is hard to dislodge them.
Chicago has been infested with this
breed for a long time and it will make
the industrial atmosphere there much
more wholesome if the campaign Of
the states attorney succeeds.
Honesty and straightforwardness
are absolutely essential to union sue
cess. Public sentiment is with the
labor unions because the public he
Iieves the workingmen are right. The
unions must not permit unprincipled
thugs to destroy this confidence.
