I favor the comprehensive Improvement
and construction of roads, particularly the

that during tha war thte work should be
prosecuted onlv with the consent and ap
proval of tha National Government. I favor
the construction of an adequate system
military highways for the defense- of the Pa

Government should undertake such construc

CHICAGO, Feb. 20. First hand in
formation of living conditions in the
district known as "back of the yards,"
where many packing-house employes
live, was gained today by Federal
Judge Samuel Alschuler, arbitrator be
tween the packers and the laborers in
the wage controversy, when he In
spected the homes there. He was ac
companied by representatives of the
packers and of the employes.
Statements made after the trip by
Carl Meyer, representing the packers,
and Frank Walsh, representing the em
ployes, show that for the first time
since tbe investigation was started at
torneys for the two sides agree on
something.
Both men declared that the build
ings in which the laborers live were
practically uninhabitable, and that fire
danger was so great that remedial
action should be taken at once.
Mr. Meyer was Inclined to blame the
conditions on the city, declaring that
It should force the landlords to tear
down the old buildings or not allow
them to be rented.
Mr. Walsh seemed to think tbe fault
lay with the packers.-
Twelve homes were visited, live of
them selected by the packers, four by
the employes and three at random by
Judge Alschuler.
'We found one home where an eight-
year-old boy took care of seven broth
ers and sisters while his father and
mother worked." said Mr. Walsh. "The
place was filthy, and all the children
had contracted skin diseases from the
filth.
"In the kitchen were the remains of
the midday meal boiled cabbage, cof
fee and bread. The boy said that was
all they ever had at noon and there
was no other food on the place except
half head of cabbage.
'.Ma ay of the houses are fine In ap
pearance from tne outside, giving tne
mpresslon of great cleanliness and san-
tation, but inside they are filthy.
Mr. Meyer declared that while much
filth was found it was due to the fam-
Iv and not to 'working conditions.
"The families living in filth and dirt
are the kind that would live the same
way If wages were quadrupled," he said.
We found many places that were Ideal
n sanitation, but others where the peo
ple were making the same wages where
conditions were bad."
Miss Evelyn Nienburg, of the bureau
of applied economics at Washington,
will be one of tbe chief witnesses to
morrow.

When Itching Stops .
There is one safe, dependable treatment
that relieves itching torture and skin irri
tation almost instantly and that cleanses
and soothes the skin.
Ask any druggist for a 35c or El bottle
of zemo and apply it as directed. Soon
you will find that irritations, pimples,
blackheads, eczema, blotches, ringworm
and similar skin troubles will disappear.
A little zemo, the penetrating, satisfy,

banishes most skin eruptions and makes
the skin soft, smooth and healthy.
