"Hobohemlans" Dwelt at Ease on 40
Cente a Day in Chicago—'Lead Mer.
ry Exietence in “Jungles” in
Summer and Citiee in Winter.
'hlcngo.—Men are living on West
Madison street on 40und 50 cents u day,
according to Nela Anderson, Alio Is
making a study of homeless nnd mi
gratory men under the direction of
Professor Ernest \\\ Ilurgess, of the
University of Chicago, for the United
Charities and the Juvenile Protective
society.
Mr. Anderson became a wanderer
himself as u hoy, he explained, but
happened to tlnd work on a ranch,
where the family took on an Interest
In film. At the uge of twenty-one he
entered the high school. Eventually
he was confronted by the problem of
selecting a topic for his doctor's thesis,
nnd llndlng, according to his statement,
that no study hail been made previous
ly of the hobo, he began to write on
that subject' on the basis of his early
experience. After he had written 250
pages'lie felt a desire to strengthen
Ills urennration for the task by re.
newed Investigations. Accordingly he
has been mingling with trnmps ns one
of them lit their “Jungles’’ or summer
carape, on the roud. In the city streets,
and In Jail.
Slang of Their Own.
“The average student who hasn’t
lieen on the road himself,” said Mr.
Anderson, "Is apt to fin'd himself un
able to approach -a tramp and get his
true story. Not only are tramps full of
suspicion and prejudices, and likely
either to exaggerate or to keep still
If they suspect their questioner, but
they have a slang of tnelr own.
“For example, a man who works
with a 'shovel Is known In the fra
ternity of ’working stiffs’ as a ‘muck
er’ ; the mun who drives a team Is a
’skinner’; one who tramps ties on the
railroad Is a ’gandy-duncer.’

ued, $289,000,000 represented advances

DUCHESS KEEPS SHOP
In the winter the tramps flock to
the big cttle3. They manage In some'
coses to make $50 last a long while,
for they know where they can get
three doughnuts nnd a cup of coffee
for 5 cents and lodging for 10 cents, If
In the morning they \flll sweep off the
floor they slept on. l'ou will find 300
men ou the floor of one of the popular.
Chicago ’flop houses’ In the winter,
though in the summer the same place
will he nearly empty.
"Where are the men in the summer!
Many,-of course, ure engaged in sea
sonal occupations. The idle ones are
often gathered at the ‘Jungles,’ which
Is un Institution In Hobohemln like
the fashionable club In another stra
tum of society. The men select for
their camps a shady place, near
enough to town for «n occasional
handout and fur enough from town
to seetn secure from the ‘bulls’ or
constables. They build shacks of
wood or roofing-tin or whatever ma
terial they find handy; I huve seen
very good shacks built of rlpjted-up
oil cans.
Tabulates 402 Cates.
“Last summer 1 tramped through
Idaho. Nqvada, Utah and Wyoming,
covering 300 miles. I talked to some
2.000 wanderers, and tabulated 402
cases. I had slashed my vest to carry
my Index cards; only one man noticed
the slashes and the slight bulges; he
asked me If I was an organizer fot
the ‘Wobblles.’ 1 said no, nnd that war
all."
No nwn ever sinks too low “to re
tain some spark of self-respect,” ac
cording to Mr. Anderson.
"Many take to the road or the city
streets because*they ure physically
Incapacitated and therefore dependent,
and they feel that they are unwelcome
Incumbrances upon their families.
.“Many are the dodges employed to
get means of subsistence. One mnn
ndtkesses a street corner crowd thus,
*1 am different fr<|p the rest of
youse stiffs. I want to get enough
for it flop tonight; 1 want to eat today,
tomorrow, and the day after. I ll talk
to you on nny subject you choose.’
Then he make* his s|>eeeh nnd hands •
round the hat. Anybody can get up n j
crowd on West Madison street, for J
there are always Idle men who are
glad to listen.” /
