The Bread Line. .._- (From the New York World.) Capt. Henry has his finger on the pulse of poverty which nightly comes to his door in a long line of poorly dressed hungry men. There are no pretenders in this line, for there is nothing for them to gain but a piece of bread. It is certain that every man in ‘the line is in dircst need of the bare necessities of ex- istence. if he did not want for bread hc Would not be there. There were 410 men in the “bread line " last Friday night when the distri bution began. The line extended from the side entrance of the bakery on Tenth street, east to Broadway, and then north along Broadway beneath the shadows of Grace Church, past. the big wholesale stores, and to a point within about. twenty feet; of the intersection of It was a solid line, with never a break except at the corner of Tenth street, where a big, well-fed policeman had cleared a space for the crossing of pedestrians. Persons who passed in the streets gazed curiously in- to the faces of the waiting men, which caused several in the line to turn their backs and face 'the gutter, in order not to be closely observed. It lacked a few minutes of midnight when Capt. Henryâ€"he has a last name which be carefully conceals from the newspapersâ€"gave the signal for the line to move. It was an interesting study to watch the men and their faces as they advanced to accept the meagre bounty. Some seized the bread as hun- gry dogs would seize a bone, and began eating it as they moved away. Others accepted it silently, without moving a muscle of their pinched and drawn faces. There were many who said “ thank you,” and even a few who seemed cheerful in their adversity, and who called Capt. Henry by name and commented on the fine weather. “ There is a man with a family.“ re- marked Capt. Henry, as a tattered hu- man wreck tucked his bread under his coat and made a bee-line in the direc- tion of Third avsnuo. “ He's going to take that to some little attic where hun- gry months are awaiting him. If he had been as wise as some of our custom- etc here, he would have gone back to the end of the line and come along for a second portion. Any man here has the privilege of repeating, and we never re- fuse the second hand-out.” What impressed the reporter more than anything else in the “ bread line” was that a. big majority of the men were of middle age and in fairly good physical condition. There were a few grey~ beards sprinkled through the line and a few of varying age, who had the wan, sickly appearance of men recently confined to sick beds. But nine out of ten applicants for bread were between the ages of' twenty five and forty years, who looked well able to do a day’s work, and who lacked the ear-marks of the professional beggar or panhandler. The reporter talked with several of the men at random. ” I am a plumber’s helper.” said one, “ and up to a few months ago was mak- ing a good living. There were a num- ber of men laid off in my shop last spring because times Were hard and there was not enough for all of us to do. It did not worry me. because I’d al- ways been able to make a. living and expected I always would be. But I've tried all summer to get work at my trade or work of any kind, and outside of two or three odd jobs. I’ve been un- able to earn anything. The longer I’m out of work. the worse my clothes look. and it’s hard to get work when you’re dressed like a trump." " . A neatly dressed man of good phys~ ique, and apparently not more than thirty-five years old, said he had been an agent for a typewriter concern until a year ago and had supported a Wife and a child.ou his earnings. besides lay- ing aside a Small sum For a rainy day. *' 'l'he rainy day came iu'July a year Mn,” he said, “ when I lost my place because the firm had more agents than tlu- condition of the business warranted. I have not been able to get any steady (llllrllllVlllt‘Ul ~iuce. First we had to give up our flat. and furniture and move into cheap furnished rooms. Then we began drawing our little bank account untit it was exhuusmd. l‘he nexr. step was for my with mu] baby to go and live with her married sister until I could get work. They have been there all summer and I haven't been able to contribute $10 to their support in three months. I’Ve answered all sorts of advertisements for work and walked the soles off my shoes looking for it, but ' somehow there does n‘t seem to ba- enough work to go around. In the last month I’ve slept in the park and it: doorways a dozen times. I have been forced to 'beg for nickcls and pennies; and it it had n’t been for these and an occasional glass of beer, with free lunch, which they bought me, I ’d have starv- ed; I have n’t. come to robbery yet, but there ’8 a strong temptation to it when you 're broke and hungry and homeless. and all the time willing and anxious te work, it only some one would give you the chance. It makes you feel that you are not getting a square deal. There 's a lot. of other men in New York who are in the same boat I am. I suppose it is due to hard times." There was a sameness in all the sto- ries which these men.’picked at random from the “ bread line,” told. They were quite willing to be useful members of society. They wanted work and could not get it, and as a result they, and in some instances their families, were so!"- fering. “ This may be an era of pros- perity," said Capt. Henry, “ but the bread line tells a different story.” ‘ 0". The Rich Strangling the Poor. Leitor, the gambler in grain who made such a collapse in wheat. two years ago. runs a coal mine at Zeigler, Ill., where there has been a strike for some months, because he wanted to cut down wages to starvation rates. Of course, the governor and the sheriff and all the other machinery of the state have been at his disposal, and a state of civil war has been on there {for several months, Leiter took an armed force to Chicago, supplied with Gatling guns, which is against the law; he has been indicted by the grand juay, but the sherifl‘ does not arrest him ! In an interview print~ ed in the Chicego Record Herald, De- cember 6th, Leiter says of the situation : “Lab-tr unions at Zcigler or any~ where else can ’t put a collar around my neck and give me orders what. kind of labor I shall buy with myl money. When I go into the market to purchase labor, I propose to retain just as much freedom as does a purchaser in any oth- er kind of a market... The union at Zeiglcr can’t either bully, blufi or frightr so me. There is not one man down there who has nerve enough to try to continue action under the indictment. It was obtained before a. jury of union- ists, and has no foundation of fact what- ever to rest upon. As to the situation in Zeigler, a rifi'raff mob is trying to ter- rorize the community, and as long as that condition lasts the militia will re- main. Work is going on steadily in my properties, however, and nearly three hundred men are at work underground. There is no difliculty whatever in ob- taining labor, for the country is full of unemployed men, and plenty of them do not belong to unions.” Note that he considers the working class as so many cattleâ€"things to be purchased. just the some as (my other kind of marketable goods. That is ex- actly how the slave masters considered their chattels._ And note further that he admits that the country isfwll o/‘u-rtw employed men. while his party papers. are declaring that the country is pros- perousl The rich can violate any law, and be upheld by the courts and legal machinery; but a poor man must pay the penalty for the least infraction of the law. And the working class around Zsigler voted to uphold halter and his classl Well, they will get enough of their foolishness some of these dztysu and then [the Socialists will take charge and the heiters will be punished just the same as poor menâ€"Appeal to Reason. A New Word. I see that a new word has been coin~ ed to cover the word “robbery " by the over-rich. When tho rich desire to rob those less rich than themselves, thev manipulate the market and call it In “ shake-out.” This “shake-out ” scoops the smaller fry of all their property-- just. as a hold-up robs his victimâ€"only it. is done under the cover and sanction of the law. When one gets something for nothing he robs some one who loses what is gained. There is no word that better expresses the operation than the good English word “ robbed.”-Jas. A. Wayland. _.__._..
