SAM PARKS DYING IN
THE SING SING PRISON
Once Powerful Leader of the
Structural Iron Workers Is Vic
tim of Rapid Decline.
HIS REMARKABLE RECORD

OSSINING, N Y, March 15.-Samuel
Parks is dying in the hospital in Sing Sing
prison. DR.. Robert T. Irvine, the prison
physician, says his trouble is incurable.
and for thirty days he has been in a rapid
decline. His death may come any day.
Parks was sent to Sing Sing TO serve
sentence for extortion, Of which crime he
was convicted after a trial replete with
sensations. He had been business agent.
generally known as walking delegate. OF
local union No. 2, of the Structural Iron
Workers International Association. In
that organization Parks was a man of
great strength. His word was law. and his
fellow-workers trusted him implicitly. In
about six years Parks brought the scare
of wages for structural iron workers up
from 81 50 TO $3.50 a day. Fewer working
hours was another achievement or PARKS,
and the unions with which he was con-
nected were prosperous in every way.
Gradually his influence broadened until
he was almost a dominant factor I'm build
ing operations In New YORK city. con-
tractors feared him. he had the power
to call strike and when ne gave ,ne
word the iron workers laid down their
tools asking no questions. SO great, IN
fact was his influence that even after
his conviction, at a time wnen ne was tree
pending an appeal made by his counsel.
Parks led a parade OF 10000 wage-earners
UP Fifth avenue. He had then been a snort
time in Sing Sing. but had been released.
His hair was closely cropped. but In every
block he was cheered as a nero, ana MS
progress was marked by neVer-ending
ovation.
Employers were complaining OF black
mail They said that the business agents
of the unions compelled them 10 pay large
sums to prevent losses as the result OF
strikes over trivial matters. Parks was
held responsible for the condition OF az
fairs and he was arrested repeatedly As
many times as he was arrested he fur
nished bonds and continued TO show de-
nance But he finally defeated and.
with his spirit broken. was taken 10 sing
Sing TO serve a sentence OF two years and
three months.
DR. Irvine examined Parks on his arrival
at the prison and found him suffering from
consumption. He stood prison life fairly
well until late i'm January. when he began
failing rapidly a month ago he was COM
PEELED TO remain in his cot in the hospital.
and since then his decline has been rapid
