THE ORIGINAL MR.. SOUEERS.
Caricature by Dickens that fastened
Good Mans Death.

"A Good Mans Death.
The thoughtlessness of writer's in
carcaturing people for grotesque pur
poses in their novels has been the cause
of much annoyance and suffering to
sensitive persons. Both Dickens and
Thackeray sinned in this respect
through their perfectly evident por-
traiture of persons who could easily be
Identified.
4 writer in the Literary Era, after
citing the Offenses of Thackeray, Dis
racli and others, brings up the notable
case of the schoolmaster In Nicholas
Nlckleby," and says:
The grossest Injury which Dickens
ever inflicted on fellow being was his
too accurate portrait of an innocent
man in his Squeers. That Yorkshire
schoolmasters were, as a rule. cruel
and wicked enough, it is true. But the
particular schoolmaster, who was rec
ognized and who recognized himself as
the original Squeers. seems to have
been an exception to the rule
1t will be remembered that Dicken
and his illustrator Travelled together to
the north of England for the purpose of
collecting material for "NickleDy," and
especially for the Dotheboys episode.
At Great Bridge they visited a boarding
school known as Bowes Academy. The
master, William Shaw, received the
strangers with some hauteur. and did
not as much rs withdraw his eyes from

liarities of William Shaw were recog-
nized in Squeers. Shaw became butt

finally died of broken heart. Yet there
is abundant evidence to prove that he
was a really excellent and kind hearte ed
man, who was made to suffer for the
misdeeds of his neighb0rs.

THOUSANDS OUT
MEAT PLANTS THROUGHOUT CEN
TRIAL WEST CLOSED.
Disagreement Over Wages Directly
Affects Many Thousands of Men,
and Indirectly Many Thousands
More---Will Probably BE Long
Strike.

Chicago, July l3.-As the result of
a stubborn disagreement, chiefly over
wages for unskilled labor one of the
most extensive strikes in the history of
the meat packing industry of the Unit
ed States began yesterday in Chicago,
Kansas City, Omaha, St. Joseph and
other cities where large packing plants
are located. If prolonged, the strike
is expected to cause widespread incon-
venience possibly equalling the an
thracite coal famine of two years ago.
The unanimity of the strike was com
plete. More than 1000 employees are
directly involved. In Chicago alone
$4,000 men are on strike The effect
of the strike on the food supply OF the
country and the price of meats is being
earnestly discussed, notwithstanding
the fact that the packing houses, con-
trary somewhat to expectations, will
continue operations without any close
down, employing whatever help may
be available. How much alienation
in the furnishing of supplies to the
public this course may afford is mat
ter of wide variation of opinion.
Many Men Want Jobs.
The packers declare that hundreds
of men who could not be provided with
places have been applying daily for
work. The walkout here was started
by the employees of the killing depart
ments at the various packing houses.
The killers were followed by the work
ers in the other departments as fast as
the current work left by the slaughter
ers could be cleaned up. Thus as the
workers in each department disposed
of their part of the work they threw
off their aprons and departed. This
consideration was shown to the pack
ers. the labor officials announced, be-
cause it was not the desire of the men
to cause the employers any financial
loss as a result of neglecting meat that
was on hand to be dressed.
Watched by .cordons of police, the
strikers filed briskly out of the packing
houses, carrying overalls rubber boots
and knives, cleavers and steels. The
strikers were greeted by crowds OF .wo-
men and children, many of whom join
ed hands with the workmen on the out
ward march. There was absolutely
no sign of disorder.
picturesque scene was presented
when the sausage factories and can
neries were left by their forces. There
are 900 girls employed in these two
apartments of the meat industry. Clad
in the variegated garb of factory girls
this army of feminine strikers tripped
blithely along the main thoroughfare
of the stockyards and We're roundly
cheered as they emerged through the
gates and distributed themselves in
the crowd.
The number of men who have stop
ped work outside of Chicago is esti-
mated as follows: Omaha, 1000;
East St. Louis, 5000; Kansas City,
IL, 800; Fort Worth, Texas, 800; Sioux
City, 1000, st. Joseph, 5000; st.
Paul, 900.
