Tribune Reporter,
Gorged With Food,
Lies About Jobless
BY SAM BOYLE,

CHICAGO, Ll.-Recently a Chicago
Tribune reporter had q write-up on
flophouse men pulling ragweeds and
during the two hours he watched
them only two out of IS done any
work. 1t is quite evident, he was
just after having gorged himself, with
grape fruit, ham and eggs, and every
thing that goes with it. sitting in a
nice cosy chair, looking out his
bungalow window, as it is only round
them neigllborhoods that ragweeds is
getting pulled. Anyway it would be
interesting to know who paid him
for those two hours Of very useful
work. don't suppose he was in the
least concerned, what these men had
for breakfast and that they haven't
had a square meal for two or three
years, and that most of them are I'M
dernourished and affected with NAL
nutrition.
Their breakfast that morning was
few spoonfuls of cracked wheat, half
cooked, all the milk they want. but
unfortunately it's mostly composed
OF Lake Michigan. Nothing more to
eat till 5 o'clock, when they get a
stew, which looks like mixture Of
billposters paste with few unwashed
and unpeeled potatoes thrown in.
They are supposed to work two days
a month, at the same rate as city
workers, but only get Is cents per
day, the rest is supposed to go for
their food, and this is where the bare
faced robbery comes in, as it has been
proven conclusively the meals cost 6
cents day at the most. The cracked
wheat, flour and other things are
given gratis by the government. The
bread which is modify most of the
time, is collected round the different
bakeries practically free for the cart
ing away.
I was glad to see those men had the
good sense to sit down and study the
beautiful homes round about them.
only hope they did some serious
thinking along the right lines while
sitting there. In the same article our
Christian friend, DR.. Bickham, who
is head Of the work department, and
had his attention called to this, said
the men in the shelters were loafers.
that they were not good workers, and
anyway most of them were mentally
deficient.
This from parasite who never did
a useful days work in his life!
To me, the mentally deficient in
that gang were the two that kept on
working. Last winter Father Bick-
ham was asked the question in an
open forum of where the $375 went
to that was taken from the men. He
could not give straightforward an
swer, but mumbled something about
paying for their meals, which caused
a big laugh, as the audience knew
perfectly well it went to line the
pockets of these leeches Of society.
