Self-governed homeless institutions, associated with Jeff Davis (pictured elsewhere in Bain Collection), "King of the Hoboes" From a Seattle account (though these pictures are presumably from the New York branch): "One of the most innovative responses to the homelessness of this era was an institution known as the Hotel de Gink, a self-managed lodging house which in its heyday (1913-1915) sheltered and helped provide employment for as many as 1,500 homeless men at a time. Located first in the old Providence Hospital at 4th Avenue and Madison Street (the present-day site of Seattle’s federal courthouse), and later in a large building near the corner of Rainier and Dearborn Avenues, the Hotel de Gink was a bustling endeavor, lively and as novel as its name implies. “Gink” was hobo slang meaning “guy” or “fellow.” The hobo history Knights of the Road recognizes the term as an appellation for fellow hoboes and defines it as a “poor unfortunate." The hotels were the brainchild of Jeff Davis, one of many to be proclaimed “King of the Hoboes." who organized the International Itinerant Workers (IIW), a short-lived labor union more popularly known as the “Hoboes of America." The IIW was a self-consciously patriotic response to the more politically radical Wobblies, or IWW – Industrial Workers of the World." www.historylink.org/index.cfm?DisplayPage=output.cfm&...

Thanks so much artolog for providing these great links. Please ignore my question on the previous record about the Hotel de Gink, as I now have a much better understanding. We'll add some of the additional information to the record(s) the next time we update.
