''FINKS" have
TOUGH WINTER
Two Thousand Professional Strike

Chicago. Oct. 27.-(United Press.)
Its going to be tough old win
ter on the "finks," according to old
timers here today, who say the
balmy days when money flowed in
golden streams into their pockets is
passing.
Fink" is the name applied to
professional strike breakers who
only work when others throw down
their tools. North Clark street,
Chicago" is the address Of most of
the ''finks." Today it was estimat-
ed at least 1000 Of them are idle
here and it was admitted that jobs
are going to be scare this winter.
The old timers assert that work
ers will be reluctant to strike this
winter because at present there are
more men than there are jobs and
working men will not run the risk
Of losing out, especially in the win
ter.
Any "dnk" will tell you that he
would rather break street car
strike than be participant in any
other kind Of Industrial strife.
There's a reason. All the nickels
collected ON cars cars during strikes
are divided between the INK" mo-
torman and conductor. And they
all scramble for conductor jobs. It
Is said Chicago ''finks" reaped a
harvest during the recent Brook
lyn Rapid Transit strike.
Strikebreakers were dubbed
links" during the teamsters' strike
in Chicago In 1905. During that
time. the old timers assert. a man
by the name Of Fink housed all the
strikebreakers. An Injunction was
obtained which prohibited the strik-
ers from yelling "scab" at their ad-
versaries. So all those who lived
| in Fink's house were called .:finks.

ents an economic lesson in its first
presidential election appearance
next Tuesday.
Nurses Of the infant "phenom"
today had hopes their ward might
even influence the naming Of the
next president Of the United States.
although they confessed there was
no possibility of a four-months-old
child winning for himself.

as the paramount issue of the
campaign was an error for which
the old parties will pay with cleo

background the more important is
sues, dealing with economic ques-
tions. that should have been dis
cussed-profiteering, the high cost
of living. reconstruction problems
and widespread unemployment now

What Party Expects,
"The Farmer-Labor party ex-
poets a popular vote Of l 1900 1000
for Farley P. Christensen and Max

The party entered a national
ticket in only twenty states because
