Ethelbert Stewart Lands a
Bombsheu in a Meeting Of
5 Employers.
Tells Them That They Are Re-
sponsible for Class of Men
Who Make Up Unions.

- CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-At a smoker"
held in Chicago the other evening, Mr..
Ethelbert Stewart was called on for
three minutes rejoinder to what had
amounted to running fire Of criticism
OF the. makeup and conduct OF trade
unions. by a body of employers and
their attorneys, especially thhe latter.
The general trend Of discussion can be
easily seen by the nature of Mr.. Stew
arts remarks, which are here repro
duced:
1.-THE 'rabble' will learn how to use
or abuse power by seeing it used or
abused.
! THE teamsters in the Chicago Team
+sters' Union are the same teamsters
who have been in the business here
for years, abused, mistreated, under
paid, overworked, treated like dogs by
their employers, the police, the street
car companies and the public. They
were not a igh-handed lot Of brig
ands,' else why did the respectable gen
tlemen employ them?
The unions unionize the men they
find in the industry or the occupa-
ton,

H.
Mitchell, dictate the membership Of the
miners union and fix it's character by
teh character of the men they hire. The
walters In Chicago were represented as
the very settlin's Of helP when they be-
came unionized; they were the same
walters the restaurants and hotels had
been employing for years. Jere Sulli-
van never selected one Of them. But
: you say they are all right till they get
the power that unionism gives them.

as they see it used; abuse it as they
see&it abused

5000 MEN IN PANIC
S9VS~ sss1su uu uhstO
At THE STOCK YARDS.
Strike Breakers Stampede
When the Union Employees
Return to Work.
First Day After Big Strike is
Ended Over $500 Men
Are Taken Back. .

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 15.-Panic seized
strike-breakers at the stock yards
Saturday and 5000 negroes and Italians
left the packing plants in general
stampede, when thousands Of old en-
ployes were put back to work. in ac-
cordance with the terms of peace that
ended the long strike.
The panic began when conflict broke
out between strike-breakers and old
employees as several plants. There were
a number Of fist fights and the police
were called at the Swift plant.
There was a riot at Forty-first street
and Ashland avenue when one of the
strike-breakers walked into crowd
saying:
I'm a strike-breaker and I'm glad
of it."
The police hastily dispersed the crowd
by using their clubs and no arrests
We're made. Reports spread through
the plants, however that rioting had
begun at the Schwarzchild & Sulz-
berger plant almost 1900 strike break
ers left in body.
Police were massed about the yards
in readiness to check any outbreak
among the crowds on the streets.
From early morning the negro strike
breakers had threatened trouble, flour
ishing razors and butcher knives as
the moved about among the thousands
Of union men who went back to work.
Breakers Help Themselves.
When the panic began, the packers
found that many strike breakers were
| trying to carry off almost everything
| movable from the yards. The police
searched the grip of one man, who had
trouble in shutting up the receptacle.
to find that five big horse blankets
belonging to Armour & CO. were con-
| cealed In the bottom.
Other strike breakers were searched
and files, knives, vanned goods and
| other articles of value were found con-
cealed, these men having attempted to
steel as they left the yards.
Leave Under Police Guard.
Strike-breakers to the number Of
250, working as stock handlers for the
Union Stock Yards & Transit Com
pany,: quit work and were taken from
the. yards under a police guard
-. The trouble was" caused by the
negro strike breakers who
remained the plants assuming a
warlike attitude and flourishing razors
and butcher knives as they passed
among the thousands of union men
who were put back to work.
| AS the came into the yards in train
loads Of 900 each, these negroes flour
ished their. weapons, but the union
men, applying for their old places,
disregarded them as they did the jeer-
Ing of the negroes when the latter
climbed out on the stock runways and
shouted at the returning strikers
| Fearing an outbreak the police were
massed in the yards and prevented an
outbreak until the men began working
together In the plants, and then trouble
! came.
$500 Strikers Taken Back.
| During the first hours $500 of the
old men were put back to work in the
various plants. according to the state
ments given out by foremen and super
intendents. This was larger than had
been expected, as Saturday is a dull
day, the number being divided among
the various plants as follows:

HOW PARR WON.

Frank Gotch, the American wrest- ling champion at catch-as-catch-ca can style lost an interesting contest to Jim Parr of England the other night at Buffalo because he failed to throw the foreigner three times in one hour aa contracted. Gotch secured two falls all right, but was unsuccessful in tha third
 With the exception of the final five minutes of the contest Gotch was the aggPessor. Once of twice Parr got be- hfnds Gotch. and twice he had the lat ter's head in chancery. Gotch broke away from both of these holds with remarkable strength The match was attended by large crowd A miscal- culation snatched victory from Gotch.
 Parr was thrown the first time in 36 minutes, 30 seconds, and the second in 16 minutes, 90 seconds. Only two minutes were needed to complete the hour when Gotch got a crotch hold, the same, by the way, that had wor, for him the two falls, and was ill the act of putting an arm lock on the Eng Iishman when a slight slip occurred and the Englishman roled to safety.
 The match was an honest one and was voted the best bout decided 1h Buffalo ill many a day.
 He had Parr partly over on both shoulders, but in trying to connect fol half Nelson Parr had a chance to roll on his stomach, and did so. After the struggle Parr offered to meet Gotch. again. stating his willingness to bet $500 that Gotch cannot throw hin, twice in one hour at the same, style, catch-as-catch- h-can The offer in all probability will be accepted.

DEATH OF TWO
 NOTED RACE HORSES

Cumberland, Md, Dec 27.-Blue Dick. the famous old pacing horse owned by Robert L. Cook of Shep- herdstown, W. Va, died yesterday. 1t is asserted by some that the horse was 42 years old, but he can be tracked back only 30 years.
 A quarter of a century ago Blue Dick was a lannon's pacer. He was best known on the southern circuit, but he had been on race tracks all through, the north and east. It is said that he paced half mile in FOG at New Orleans
 The horse was brought to Hagers- town about twenty years ago, being owned by the late John Adams. He was purchased by T. M. Conner of Harper's Ferry, who afterward sold him to MT Cook, who had owned him for the last dozen years.
 Blue Dick was game horse. and always ready for a race or a spin. In September. 1903, he was put on the track at the Morgan's Grove fair, and those who timed him say that he paced quarter mile i'll 0:39. Three or four days ago MT Cook drove him to town. and he was stil frisky and full of life. He had beer entirely blind for eleven years.

WRESTLING,
THE GAME
 GOING BACK
Tom Jenkins is Sorry He Did Not Become a Pugi- list-HOw Parr Held Off Frank CotCh.

Tom Jenkins. the former catch -as- catch-can heavyweight champion, is deploring the fact that wrestling as a sport is going into disrepute. Jenkins declares that there is nothing in the game any more for him from a f1nan. cial point of view and unless there is a sudden wave of prosperity he intends to quit.
 II have long wished that I were a pugilist," said Jenkins, sadly. T could have made my pile by this time ana have retired. 1 have a fighters physique, am strong, and know a great deal about the game. But I thought that wrestling was the better profes~ sion of the two and chose it. A third rate fighter can make more money in a couple of bouts than wrestler can i'll ten matches. The reason is simple. The public will turn out in large num- bers to see a mill. where they could not be drawn with a team of oxen to see a contest on the mat.
 "Ihe life of wrestler Is harder ih every way than that of fighter. The grappler is under severe strain from start to finish. If match is for en- durance, the wrestler has no chance of getting a rest. He must be at it all the time A fighter, on the other hand, has a minute between rounds to re- cuperate. On the mat, even if wrest- Ter elects to lie on his stomach, he has got to keep moving all the time to pre- vent his man from gaining a fall Then he has to contend against the weight of his rival. His opponent may scale from ten to fifty pounds mora than himself, and this weight on youh back is no easy thing to try to shake off
 You have often seen a man bent on all fours during bout, Some folks think that the wrestler has a chance then to gather hts wind and strength. But such position is more agonizing than trying to escape q hammer lock or one of the Nelson holds. The posi- tioH is trying on the nerves. He is all .cramped up, perspiring and what not. To be in such situation, say for a couple of hours, is enough to make a man lquit. tell you a fighters busi- ness is a cinch compared to that of a wrestler, and the pity of it is that the grappler gets the smaller reward fos his services
