SOME PERTINENT QUERIES
ASKED BY JUDGE BATEMAN
the following card, asking several
pertinent questions of candidates con
cerning city politics and affnlrs, has
been received by The Georgian:
Editor of The Georgian:
The city executive committee has
celled the primary for August 22 next,
end candidates have been making an
nouncements. Their friends and the
friends of good government have
brought them out. Of course, they
ere not self-constituted. Their valua
ble services are sought by others. But
upon what principles are these candl-
dates running? Upon what platform
have their friends and these friends pf
good government put them? Are we
f tlU to have the old song, "We are for
Atlanta," and when they get In turn
their backs on Atlanta, by attempting
to sell our water'workB and getting
them in the hands of n private cor
poration, and do other like damage?
Are not there many Issues upon
which these candidates should be made
to declare themselves for or against?
If not, with what Intelligence can u
clllzen cast his vote?
1. Are these candidates In favor of our
present uniform and ad volorem system
of taxation, and do they favor and ad
vocate a strict. Just and equal assess
ment of property for same? Are they
opposed to or nre they In favor of any
Increase In the present rate of taxa
tion?
2. Is not the license tax for the priv
ilege of carrying on business in our
city In many Instances unequal, un
just and oppressive? Will they favor
the regulation of such tax as shall be
just and fair to all business enter'
prises?
3. Bo they recognise that monopolies
oppress and hinder others In the pur
suit of business enterprises, and that
they prevent competition and leave
the people at their mercy? Are they
in favor of and will they contend for
equal justice to all, and. special priv
ileges to none?
4. Do they favor municipal regula
tion by appropriate legislation of all
street railway and telephone systems,
and the electric and gas light plants
and all other public utilities, and ab
solute ownership when necessary for
the protection of the people?
5. Do they recognize that ward pri
maries Is "home rule." and will lessen
the expenses of holding elections? Are
they In favor of such primaries for pl-
dermen and councllmen, and through
out the city for mayor and officers of
the heads of departments: or do they
favor changing the election of the last
named from the people to the council,
and from the council to tho people at
the will of tho officeholder who Is
ichemlng for reelectlon?
6. Do they recognize that there
ought to be a. law enacted by which
shall be created for the city a railway
and civil service commission to be se
lected by a majority vote of the peo
ple In the same manner as that of
mayor and other heads of departments
with authority to regulate street rail
way and telephone systems and elec
tric and gas light plants and other pub
lic utilities, and with authority to se
lect the necessary number of subor
dinates for each department, and to
determine the fitness and qualification
?h.m » J ub o/dlnates and remove
. 5 for J “ 5t cau,e b >' complaint
made and established, and with such
other authority for the protection of
tne people, usually delegated to such
commissions?
. 7 - P° they recognize that it would
be Just and fair to the people to en-
a £»vortne a four-year term of
ofnee for the heagg of departments, and
that none of them shall be eligible for
election to & third successive term, or
are they in favor of continuous sue*
ceeslon and schemes to keep them In?
s. Do they favor or are they op
posed to nepotism, that ts. the beitow-
MJbdnage In consideration of re
lationships. rather than of merit or le
gal claim?
«. Do they recognize for the past
>'* ar » th « whiskey traffic In
i 1 ** b,en b * ,, * r regulated and
controlled than In any other city In
the United •States; and are they op-
poaed to or do they favor a continuation
of kuch regulation and control, and are
they opposed to any agitation that will
disturb the quiet and peace'of bur city
on this subject?
10. Do they recognize that recently a
scheme was on foot and an effort was
made to dispose of our water works to
a private corporation at the exnense of
the people, and to further fasten cor
porate grip upon them by taking their
last nnd only public utility? Are they
In? favor of auch, or are they against
It. Do they recognize that we are
In need of a city hail nnd auditorium
that will accommodate the present and
future growth of our city, and do they
favor, as early as practicable, the pur
chase of a lot suitable and convenient
ly situated for such purpose?
12. Are they In favor of, or are they
against Judicial and legislative officers
accepting free passes, franks, etc., from
corporations?
13. And last, but not least:
Are they In favor of reasonable sal*
aries for the officers of the heads of
departments, that ts, such as will rea
sonably compensate them and subor
dinates for the services performed, and
such as are usually paid for such like
services by private Individuals, ffrms,
companies and private corporations; or
are they In favor or not-of taxing the
poople to pay such high salaries as
they would not pay In their own pri
vate buslnes for such like service?
These are Issues, live Issues, that
the people are interested In. Let the
candidates speak out, or let the people-
get together In convention and make a
platform upon which their candidates
shall stand.

They carried him to a dry place and
Uld him on tho floor, and that night
two of the men helped him home. The
poor old man was put to bed, and,
though he tried It every morning until
the end, he never could get up again.
He would lie there and cough and
cough, day and night, wasting away
to a mere skeleton. There came a time
when there was so little flesh on him
that the bones began to poke through
-which was a horrible thing to see
or even to think of. And one night
he hud a choking flt, and a little river
blood came out of his mouth. The
family, wild with terror, sent for a
doctor, and paid a half dollar to be
told that there was nothing to be done.
Mercifully the doctor did not say this
■o that the old man could hear, for
he waa still clinging to the faith that
tomorrow or next day he would be bet
ter, and could go back to hi* Job.
The company had sent word to him
that they would keep It for him—or
rather Jurgls had bribed one of the
men to come one Sunday afternoon
ami say they had. Dede An tanas con
tinued to believe it, while three more
hemorrhage* came: and then at last
one morning they found him stiff and
rold. Things were not going well with
them then, and though It nearly broke

renrie?, C f ft funeral; they had only

learning fast, spent all day Sunday
making a bargain for thesfe, and he
■we It in the presence of witnesses,
f? that when the man tried to charge
Jim for all sorts of Incidentals, he did
hot have to pay. For twenty-five
pars old Antanas Rudkus and hi* son
had dwelt In the forest together; and
Jf hard to part in this way; 'per
haps, It was Just as well that Jurgls
had to give air his attention to the
task of having a funeral without bo

indulge in memories ami grlet

vatlng of It, and the replacing of dam

and grippe, stalking among them, seek

was the annual harvest of those whom
tuberculosis had been dragging down.
There came .cruel, cold and biting
winds, and bllszarda of snow, all test
ing relentlessly for falling muscles and
Impoverished blood. Sooner*or later
came the day when the unfit one did
not report for work; and then, with
no time in waiting, and no Inquiries pr
regrets, there was a chance for a new
hand. , t L
The new hands were here by the
thousand*. All day Ion# the gates of
the packing house* were besieged by
starving and penniless men; they
cam* literally by the thousands every
single morning, lighting with each
other for a chance for life. Blli-
—-n,« ,nd cold made no difference to
them—they were always on hand; they
were on hand two hour* before the
sun rose, an hour before the work be
gan. Sometime, their fare, froze;
sometimes their feet end
sometimes they froze ell taceth« r - b tri
still they ceme, for they bed no other

neper for 200 men to cut Ice; and ell
that day the homeles* and starving
of the city cam# trudging ‘htaugh th*
enow from *11 over It* 200 squsre
mile*. That night forty score of them
crowded Into the station house of Jb«
stock yard* district—they flll«i the
rooms, sleeping In eech other’s Jape,
toboggan fashion, and they plled on
topofeach other In the confer* I|M
th* police shut the doors sad left some
to freeze outside. On the morroer. be
fore daybreak, there were 2,000 at
Durham's, and the police "serve, had
to be sent for to <m*»l_tb* rlet. T»*w
Durham's bosses picked out twenty of
tbe biggest: tbe 'Two hundrad proved
tn have bean a printers error.
Four or five mile* to.th#
lair the lake, and over this the bitter
winds ceme raging. Sometimes the
thermometer would fell to 10 or » de
gree* below zero at night, and In *■*
morning the street* would be piled
with snowdrift* up to the
window* The street* through which
llf friends had to go to their work
were unSved end full of deep
hole* end gullies: In summer when
If rained hard, a men might have to
'* hi* to get to hi* house;
in winter It was no Joke get
ting through these places, beforo light
In the morning and after dark at
night. They would wrap up In all
they owned, but they could not wrap
up against exhaustion; and many a
man gave out In theso battles with
the snowdrifts, and lay down and fall
asleep.
And If It was bad for the men, one
may Imagine how the women and chil
dren fared. Some would ride In the
cars, If the cars were running; but
when you are making only 8 centa an
hour, as was little Stanlslovos, you do
not like to spend that mu£h to ride
3 miles. The ehltfrai vmM come to
the yards with great shawls about
their eats, and ao tied up that you
could hardly And them—and still there
would be accidents. One bitter morn
ing In February, the little boy who
worked at the lard machine with
Stanlslovas came about an hour late,
and screaming with pain. They un
wrapped him, and a man began vig
orously rubbing hi* ears; and as they
were frozen stiff It took only two or
three rubs to break them short off.
As a result of this, little Stanlslovas
conceived a terror of the cold that
was almost a mania.
Every morning when It came time
to start for the yards, he would begin
to cry and protest. Nobody knew
S uite how to manage him, for threats
Id no good—It seemed to be some
thing thaf he could not control, and
they feared sometimes that he would
go into convulsion*. In the end, it
had to be arranged that he alwaya
went with Jurgls, and cam# home with
him again; and often, when the snow
was deep, the man would carry him
the whole way on fils shoulders.
Sometimes Jurgls would be working
until late at night, nnd then It was
pitiful, for there was no-place for the
little fellow to wait, save In the door- )
wavs or In a comer of the killing bed*,
and he would all but fall asleep there,
n! freeie to death.
There was no heat upon the killing j
beds; the men might exactly as well *
have worked out of door* all win
ter. For that matter, there was very
little h*at anywhere Ip the building, .
except In the cooking rooms and such [
places—and it wa* the men who work
ed In these places who ran the meet
risk of all, because whenever they
had to pass to another room they bad
to go through Ice cold corridor*, and J
sometime* with nothing on above the
waist except a ulecvelesa undershirt.
On the killing beds you were npt to bo
covered with blood, and It would treezo
solid; If you landed against a pillar,
you would freezo to that, and If you
put your hand upon the blada of your
knife, you would run a chitm-c of leav
ing your *kin> upon It.
The men would tie up their feet In.
tU'WHpnporH and <-ld nicks, and then*
would bo soaked in blood and frozen,
and then soaked again, and so nn until
by night tlmo a man would bo walk
Ing on great lumps the aizo of tho feet
of an elephant. Now nnd then, when
the bosses were not looking, you would
see them plunging their feet nnd
kle« Into tti«- Mt.imlng hot i;tivnMH «.f
the steer or darting across the room to
the hot water Jet*. The cruelest thing
of all was that nearly all of them—all
those who used knives—were unable to
wear gloves, and their orma would bo
white with frost and their hnnds would
grow numb, and then of course there
would be accidents. Also the air would
be full of steam from the hot water
and the hot blood, so that you could
not see five feet beforo you; and with
men rushing about at the speed they
kept up --n th.- killing beds, and nil
with butcher knives, like razors. In
their hands—well. It waa to bo counted
as a wonder that there were nof more
men slaughtered than cattle.
And yet all this Inconvenience they
might have put up with, If only It had
not been for one thing—If only there
had been some place where they might
eat, Jurgls had either to eat his din
ner amid the stench In which he had
worked, or else to rush, os did all his
companions, to any one of the hun
dreds of liquor stores which stretched
out their arms to him. .To the west of
the yards ran Ashland avenue, and
here was an unbroken line of saloons—
"Whisky Kow,” they called It; to the
BOftfe vm Fbriy-seventh street, where
8N9S u**re half a dozen to tlia'fcRNAfc
aa# at tbs angle of tbs tw# waa
“Whisky Point, a.apace of fifteen or 1
twenty acre*, and containing one glue
factory and about two hundred saloons.
One might walk among these and
take hi* choice: "Hot pea soup and
boiled cabbnge today;” "Sauerkraut
and hot frankfurters, walk In;” "Bean I
soup and stewed lamb, welcome.” All :
of the»*e thing* were printed In many [
language*, os were also the names of
the resort*, which were Infinite in their
variety and appeal. There was the
"Home Circle” end the "Coeey Cor
ner;” there were "Flfresldee” and the
“Hearthstones” and "Pleasure Pal
aces'’ and "Wonderlands" and "Dream
Castles" nnd "Love's Delights.” What
ever else they were called they ware
sure to be called "Union Headquar
ters ” and to hold out a welcome to
workingmen; and there was always a
warm stove and a chair near It, and
some friends to laugh and talk with.
There wa* only on# condition attach
ed—you rnu*t drink. If you went In
not Intending to drink you would get
your head split open with a beer bot
tle in the bargain. But all of the men
understood the convention and drank;
they believed that by It they were get
ting something for nothing—for they
did not need. to take more than one

They could feel the cold as It crept
