CHICAGO’S TROUBLES
[United Press Association. —By Electric

|NE\V YORK, Feb. 11
While bread, milk and clothing doles are being parcelled out to municipal employees in the Chicago area, a deadlock between Mayor Thompson and tho Citizens’ Relief Committee has finally broken, as the MUyOr- has consented to permit his subordinates to consult with the Relief Committee for relief measures.
The conditions had reached such a desperate stage that President Cormack, of the Cook County Board, threw open the West Polk Street Charity Stores to thousands of workers who had been faced with starvation because they were unable to collect long-overdue salaries. These supplies were literally taken out of tho mouth and off tho hacks of Hie county’s poor, for they were being held for those ordinarily in distress at this time of the year. Food, shoes, clothing, coal and milk were passed out to men and women, who presented orders signed by their Departmental heads. Each allotment was limited to twenty-five dollars at the first call.
