today before Federal Judge Aischuier,
arbitrator in the stockyards wage contro-
yersy. that living conditions back of the
yards are better than in the Ghetto ana
other congested districts about Chicasos
industrial centers.
Many families In the district back OF
the yards he testified. lived in rowded,
unsanitary quarters and might not be
properly clothed and fed. He added, how
ever, that all were not employees at the
~stockyards. Poor management Of house
hold affairs, bad habits, lack of thrift
and in some cases the deaths of hus-
bands were some Of the causes named by
the witness which led to poverty and suf-
! fering among the workers.
Mr.. Ellerd read figures from three of
the largest stockyards savings banks to
show that a large majority of the pack
ing house employees WIRE thrifty and eX-
planned the work lone by the welfare
ana relief department. He said thai last
year 1904 surgical and 2l13 medical cases
We're given treatment and 1900 persons

pension payroll OF 1890 a year which
cares for 10 ~superannuated employees. At
torney Frank Z. Walsh, for the employees.
vigorously alta cked the statements of the
witness on cross-eXamination and sought
to show that the ch;rity work done by
the packers was relatively unimportant.
Mr.. Walsh read Il statement showing
that there were - public charity agencies
in the stockyaris district. which last
year furnished relief to 1900 families. He
declared that at the free tuberculosis dis
pcnsary there are 2309 cases of consump-
ton either now under treatment or under
observation and that the principal cause
OF the disease in the district as given by
the attending physicians are bad living
conditions, improper food. bad conditions
of employment and lack of proper rest
and recreation.
The county agent, he said, was called
upon last month to furnish relief to S5s
