Show (SALT LAKE'S LATEST TRICK. Under the large headlines "Ogden Welcoming Unemployed Men; Workers Work-ers Going There from Salt Lake," the Tribune this morning gave prominence promi-nence to the following. According to a dispatch received lste last night a large percentage of Ball Lakes migratory workers are flocking to Ogden. At the headquarters headquar-ters In that city, established by James F.ads How, the 'millionaire hobo,' nearly 200 men are being fed daily, according to the dispatch. The quar . ,-.,rT.. r-inH rnmfortahle. Iierb iiic iwm, 1 equipped with a telephone, and at meal time, according to reports, all who apply are served and no questions ques-tions asked. Some dissatisfaction has been expressed by certain of the unemployed at the no work, no eat" rule promulgated by the Salt Lake authorities, and a few 6aid last night that inasmuch as the Ogden authorities authori-ties seemed to appreciate the nee.es slty of caring for the Jobless, many more would go there. One man who asserted he was on his way to Ogden, 6ald last night: " Tm going to try and pass the tip along. There Will soon be lots of work on the Union Pacific and on the Ogden. Logan & Idaho railways They're Just out of Ogden Those r 1, o tViaf r!r)Tirt vet 1rh vill be tg taken care of, I'm sure. The Ogden H people are kind and hospitable, and have an open hand and heart for the I fellow who's down and out. It's I not a long walk, and all I've got to say is that the fellows who Ktay In I Salt Lake, when Ogden citizens are II treating the unemploed so well, de-I de-I serve to be made to break a ton of I ctone for every sandwicn they get I The chap who's too laey to walk to I Ogden 16 too lazy to eat If he was I given a meal I'm off.'" i Tho foregoing Is a rank piece of B deception, the purpose of which is U to induce the unemployed to get out Hi of Salt Lake, and should be resented by our people. When the number of unemployed grew to large proportions in Salt Iake. that city, instead of accepting H the responsibility, proceeded to ask H the legislature to appropriate $100, OnO to provide work; that failing, a parade of the unemployed was organized and a deinonblrhtion made on the capltol B grounds. Once more meeting with a rebuff, , the municipality finally set H aside $500 as a relief-fund, and now JB the idle are having a bait dangled before them In the hope of diverting I in to Ogden. It is a shabby trick, rhe people of Ogden are hospitable, Is true, but they are quick to pro-t pro-t when affronted and they will not erate this imposition on the part Salt Iake. nn |
