Chapter Nv

Gerald. worn out with long and COM
fortress travel. pulled the long. iron
bell outside the closed door OF Else
Francks' house In Sokar. with a sense
Of relief that the FIRST part OF his
quest was accomplished. The street
was one which formerly had been pos
sessed of some pretensions. The houses
were tall, solidly built and had ap-
parently been occupied by q wealthy
class OF merchants. They were now
mostly let out In tenements Exactly
opposite where Gerald stood waiting,
men and women-shrunken-lo
creatures, most Of them-were con-
tinually passing in and out Of broad
entrance, from which the gates had
been done away with altogether, with
sacks or baskets Of partly finished
boots, and the sound Of f1tful ham
mering seemed to denote factory de-
void Of machinery. In the center Of
the road were some rusty rails, around
which some grass was growing-ths
remains Of an electric car service. Most
Of the houses seemed empty or over
full-locked and battered, with broken
window frames and closed shutters, or
converted into tenement houses. The
long street, full Of holes and strewn
with all manner Of refuse, ended In q
steep hill Way beyond II, the 90
called fortress, a sinister, gray building
Of many stories. glittered In the after
noon sun.
The door in front Of which Gerald
was standing was suddenly opened. A
dark-visaged. corpulent woman, dressed
apparently In nothing but q petticoat
and shawl. thrust out her head. Ger
aid handed her card, on which,
through the friendly Offices Of the
hotel porter. was inscribed his desire
to see Madame Francis. The woman
turned 1t over. looked Gerald up and
down with wide-mouthed astonish-
ment, and finally motioned him to
enter. AS soon as he had done SO and
stepped into the little cobbled court
yard, she drew the bolt and muttered
something which he understood as an
invitation to follow her. She pushed
open q heavy door on the right, and
they assembled gloomy staircase. The
atmosphere was close, almost stifling.
There seemed to be no window, or any
means Of giving light or ventilation.
Arrived on the first door, she threw
open the door Of room and departed.

him to his feet and called to his son.
"All is well" she said, dismissing

burned In his blood. He took a quick

hour in the morning.
Most of them were suffering so
from exposure that they would not
have been able to go to work if
work had been offered them. They
were permitted to sit around the
waiting room and get warm. Up
to a late hour. yesterday afternoon
many of them had not left the place.
One Negro who had been there all
day said that he had come up from
the South several months ago urged
by rosy promises Of easy work and
high wages. After working a few
weeks he was laid off and had not
managed to get a job since. The
night before being without the price
Of bed, he had been compelled to
walk the streets all night in the
bitter cold.
He declared his intention of GO
ing back South as soon as he could.
Old timers around the employ
ment Office said that they had not
seen so many men looking for jobs
for seven years.
"The tragedy of the thing is that
most Of these men have been out
of work so long that they are not
properly fed and could not do a good
days work if they got a job. A
boss would fire most Of them after
a couple Of hours"

every car building concern laid off
some Of its workers. The decline of
the industry as a whole amounted to
$3.50. Car shops operated directly
by the railroads also showed a falling
off in the number of employees on
their payrolls.
Shoe factories which normally ex-
pand in December showed consider
able drop in employment. Tanneries
also laid off $50 of their workers.
Employment was reported on the
down grade generally in the food i'm

at low point and furniture factories
reported that they were laying off

The few lines of manufacturing ac-

Expansion in the last two branches
of industry is seasonal.

BITTER WEATHER
MEANS AGONY
TO JODLESS ONES
Cold Wave Adds to
Misery of Hungry

The second cold wave of the win
ter hit Chicago yesterday. With
thousands unemployed and more
thousands homeless, suffering was
general. Charity organizations re-
port the usual rush of the very poor
to get bit Of coal for warmth.
In the districts behind the stock
yards the poor had little concern for
food. Their interest and worry was
confined to getting heat. Many char
liable agencies not expecting the cold
wave, did not have enough coal to
go around. Late in the day such
doles as were handed out were cut
down SO that all might have some
thing. Many of the poor said that
they had received SO little coal that
it was hardly worth their while to
take it home as it would only delay
their suffering and would not relieve
it.
The worst sufferers from the cold
were the thousands of homeless men
who make West Madison and Canal
streets their headquarters. A light
snow gave employment to only 400
extra snow shovelers. The Dear
born Street branch of the state free
employment agency reported that
scores of stiff, half frozen men were

Writes Message from
Sick Bed

Eugene V. Debs, veteran labor
leader, sent letter and a contribu-
ton Of SIS to the Friends Of Soviet
Russia and Workers Germany for
German relief yesterday. Debs, who
IS very sick, was more concerned
with helping the German workers
than he was with his own health.
The letter from Debs received by
the Friends of Soviet Russia and
Workers Germany follows:
"Dear Comrade Rose Karsner:
Il am i'll and in pain and able
to do but little for the present. But
cannot resist the plea in behalf
of the starved German workers and
their families.
II am appalled, as I contemplate
the conditions there, and if ever the
American workers had a call to tax
all their resources and do it prompt
ly and with willing hearts and eager
hands it is in response to the cry
that comes out of Germany to save
the working class. This especially
is true of the little children who are
perishing from starvation. My mite

"Fervently wishing you all success
in this most humane and dutiful
undertaking, am as ever,
Yours fraternally,

At the same time the contribu-
ton from Debs was received cable
gram arrived from Germany saying
that unemployment and misery were
on the increase in that country.
The cablegram follows:
"Friends of Soviet Russia:
Unemployment is growing. Mis-
cry is on the increase. Double your
aid. We serve daily $4,000 meals.

support urgent. Help with money
and goods"

Illinois factories than there were in
the middle of the year. Employment
in December reached the same level
going down that it reached going up
in December, 1922.
Considerable importance is at
tached by the review to the fact that
six of the largest iron and steel pro-
ducers in the state laid off 10 of
their employees while three other
producers employing between 500
and 1000 workers cut their forces by
20@o. Conditions in the steel indus
try are universally recognized as an
important barometer of the general
industrial situation.
One-sixth Of the building trades
workers were reported out of job
during the month as result of the
seasonal let up in construction work.
But the fact that declines are also
reported by some of the industries
producing building materials in con-
trast to large increase a year ago
indicates that less construction work
is assured for the coming year. Glass
