HOG BARoNs PERIL HEALTH
OF EMPLOYEES, IS CHARGE
Conditions at the stOckyards
which compel workers to share the
pens of pigs and cattle are expected
to be revealed in Judge SulliVan's
court next Monday when the case of
the state factory inspector against
the Union Stock Yards and Transit
Co. is called.
The very next day matrons of
wealth will gather at the splendid
mansion home of Mrs. Ed. Cudahy
to hear a talk by Henry Waite, city
manager of Dayton, O., ~On the topic
of Getty, Management" But as they
sit after the lecture to say what
splendid talk it. was, and how Chica-
go should have a city manager to
protect the welfare of it's workers
and jewellers, none of the wives or
daughters of upper crust pigstickers
is likely to mention the suit i1-Judge
SUllivan's court.
They probably won't know any
thing about the suit, for their hus-
bands will hardly tell them that the
company in which they are interest
ed is charged with such a revolving
violation of law, the loop papers have
not mentioned the suit and their So
Cial secretaries will see to it that this
copy of The Day Book does not
reach their eyes.
Packers wives want a better Chi
cago, they say. Here is a chance for
them to campaign for better stock
yards. That would help Chicago a
lot. And they can start their reform
work right at home with their hus-
bands.
The society page of the Chicago
Daily Tribune features at the top of
a column a story on Mrs. Ed Cuda-
hy's lecture next Tuesday. The .Tri-
bune does not mention the suit &C

A year ago the stOckyards COM
pany promised to install the required
toilets and washrooms. 1t even pre-

The company says it did not build

after it promised to do so because of
the turmoil and expense Of the hoof

to the factory inspectors Office.
Money was lavishly spent at the
stOckyards to prevent the spread of
the hoOf and mouth disease among
cattle, for an animal that caught the

the company's budget carried no ap-

To continue the business of the Mt
Vernon chamber of commerce, tenn
porary secretary will be appointed
who will serve until a new secretary
is obtained. This official will be a
Mt. Vernon man and 1t will not be
required that he give his whole time
to the work.
At the regular MONDAY luncheon
Wednesday of the chamber of COM
merce, the lack of secretary was
felt in all discussions. What might
be done If secretary were on the
job seemed to constitute the main
topics Of conversation.
More or less elaborate plans had
been worked out for a fall street fes.
tival to be held in this city, which
would be modelled on the famous Cir
cleville pumpkin show and which
would include, in addition to late fall
exhibits, a style show and other at
tractive features, such as a big pa
rade, but the inopportune resignation
of Secretary Leopold forced an aban.
donment of this idea for the present
year.
A committee from the chamber of
commerce, II. X. Walker reported,
which was composed Of ]. w. Rudin
f. G.. Mardis, l.. G. Mayer and him
self, visited Circleville several weeks
ago and gained much information as
to the manner OF carrying on such a
festival. 1t is planned that the same
committee will again journey to Cir
cleville when the show is actually on
for the purpose Of obtaining ideas for
a festival here next year.
The Circleville show. in Is years,
has expanded from one-day pump
kin exhibit to four-day festival. Two
thousand. five hundred dollars in
prizes are donated by merchants and
the average daily attendance is
2b,000, comprising people from all
over the state. Tha parade last year
w. l.. Ward reported, took 55 min.
utes to pass a given point. One
entry, that of "A canning factory. oc
cupied the space of mile in the pa
