PASSING OF MEDICINE MAN
Red Men Are Coming to Believe in
the Virtues of the White
Mans Medicine.

The skilled professional doctor is
one of the greatest helps to the In
dian, and the Navahos are receiving
him with very little distrust, says the
Southern Workman. The savage mis-
appropriation of things that are new
is gradually subsiding, as results make
clear to him that the white mans medi-
cine is more powerful than his But
there are exceptions. The purely physi-
cal troubles may be eradcated by the
doctor, but there still remains in many
cases a mental uncertainty that de.
mands the attention of the tribal med
icine man. 1t is not a foible or
fancy, but a mental disease governed
by countless ages of mysticism which
necessitates the occult mind-easing
treatment of the old days. This, then,
is a mind cure of the Indians - the
Christian Science of the savage, which,
hand in hand with concrete medicine,
exists in all races, whether barbaric
or cultured. 1t is as necessary to the
Indian as a certain amount of mind
cure is essential to our happiness.
The knowledge of modern curative
agents should be impaired to the
younger members of the tribe. They
are capable of assimilating new facts
and will take readily to the new school,
Civilization is disrupting the tribal or
ganZation to such an extent that the
major portion of the old laws and be-
liefs relating to the causes and cure of
disease will soon be things of the past.
With this essential Of the old life gone,
the work of the medicine men will have
been finished. At present there must
be a certain cooperation between the
modern doctor who goes among them
and the medicine man of the tribe.

the statement you will hear from the
strike breaker when he lines up his men
for the first duty.
Farley the Mysterious.
"Farley's here-he will have 1000
negroes at his back and Chicago's
business will be resumed" was the
message that went through the room
where were gathered the chiefs of the
teamsters joint council The name
Farley was one to conjure with on the
streets. A people who had no knowl-
edge of Farley except what was gained
from the press wondered if Farley
wore a coat of mail. slept with his
head on a Winchester and had a body
guard of cowboys.
Yes, Farley was there. We saw him
we who were watching for the man
whom the millionaire merchants ex-
pected to help them out of their stag
nation. But the Farley who came into
strike-ridden Chicago unannounced,
incognito and almost dragging himself
into his hotel room was not the in
trepid Farley who had put his horny
fist into the hand of the executive
head of New Yorks Interborough and
promised with the grasp of friendship
to break the strike of $500 employees
inside of 40 hours.
Leader Broken in Health.
Farley did not lead a body of rifle

FARLEY, The KING OF A NOTED TRIO.
Behind This Leader Stands Frank Curry.
Buster" Ready and Their Forces Ready
to Crush Unionism at Call
of the Employers.
Character Study of Curry. Who Is Conducting Battle
of Chicago Business Men Teamsters-New
Occupat ation Born of Industrial Strife.

Chicago.-"Vested interests" have put
the stamp of approval upon one COM
paratively new industry in the United
States-strike breaking. There's a spe-
cies of freemasonry that obtains in this
Ishmaelite class, but thirty-third de-
gree honors only have been conferred
upon three men-the Big Three of the
Industrial strife world. James Farley
by reason of his long experience, easily
leads this trio in the public eye. Not to
have heard Of "Farleys Own" is to ar
que yourself ignorant of great labor
troubles. Frank Curry, the pugnaCious,
audacious, shrewd and withal fearless
bundle of nerves and muscle who is de-
flying unionism in the vortex of Chi
cago's riotous teamsters' strike, has
pushed himself into second place. The
third of this group of men who pour out
organized capitals wealth to pour into
strikes the units of fighters who move
freight, turn wheels and push COM
merce on her way, is well known on the
Pacific coast-"Buster" Ready.
These are the superiors in the modern
and approved plan of battle that capital
uses to crush defiant unionism. They
are not particular, are these generals,
as to the makeup of their brigades of
workmen, but they demand one thing
from every man they lead-courage
"No time for streaks of yellow, be they
in the black man or in the white man, " is

ina sick man. Down in a health
resort in North Carolina this greatest
of geniuses the labor troubles of the
country has produced is coughing
The harsh frame -racking cough that
he has means that there is a great
strike going on in his anatomy that
even his indomitable courage cannot
break" 1t will break him. And
when this is done a black wagon will
traverse the streets of Pittsburg to a
hillside where men who wear even
the ubiquitous union button will un-
cover their heads and mutter; well,

Curry a Man of Nerve.
When the planet is "wobbling in its
orbit" the satellite must endeavor to
keep up the equilibrium. The honors
that might have been reaped by Far
ley are left to Frank Curry to reap
He began his harvest by getting ar
rested and having his eyes blackened
by the "caress of pair of brass
knuckles." Fretting over the orders
of a physician that he remain in a
darkened room, the strike-breaker
showed his impatience to his few call
ers. I've only got a cinder in my
eye," said Curry. But it don't make

Boys Idea of Babies.

Here is an essay on babies, by an
English board schoolboy: "Babys are
little red things without bones nor
teeth. They have various sises, put
just after they are borned they are
called bypeds; their bones are grisle
They are two sects, male and female
and are also very fat. When very
young they do not have much hair.
They are always asleep only when
crying. Women and girls go sily es.,,,
baDys, and kiss them all over and
say silly things. That's why girls
have dolls when they haven't any little
brothers. Everybody as to be baby
first. That's all know about babys,"

far short of Farley his capacity for
executive ability falls. Homesteads S
iron works cooled the mold in which
Farleys spirit was shaped and then
the mold fell into the Allegheny river
Curry had his fighting spirit case
hardened in struggle of less impor-
tance-he seems to have some molten
material in the interior that needs
the reverses of conflict to harden.
Defes Death for Gain.
It's money-only money that Curry
is working for He nonchalantly tells
you that. "If the strike lasts 30 days"
said Curry, as he dropped some medi-
cine into his infamed eye from the
blade of Notwithstanding to use the
little rubber syringe that his doctor
has left for him-"pll slip out of the
city 100000 richer than | was when
| came in
But haven't you any animusity-
isn't there some of that hatred that
the correspondents have written about
that impels you to fight unions?" Curry
was asked.
LOOK mere was the quick reply.
Put down in your note book these
few things, and when I'm a back mum
ber study them:
"a man who would not take chance
against a mob for money is not per-
son to look for the future.
Capitalists play golf, count their
coupons, lean on bright young men to
pilot their great enterprises and write

growth of union tyranny They need

got the nerve-he has a. right to work
for his living and if he gets the re-
porters to call him a hero, bruise on
his head will hurt just the same" she
is reported to have said
Brains VS.. Brawn.
Considerable brute strength was an
asset used by Curry in the street car
strike. Farley used his brains more
and directed brute strength along lines
of least resistance. The strategy of
the Pittsburg Office went into effect
wherever Farley strung his live
wires" without a hitch. Curry after
all, was a strike-breaker who needed
a general manager or superintendent
to help plan for the trips.
Then there was the ice wagon driv-
ers' Strike in st. Louis. Farley did not
aspire to breaking" that Maybe he
was not asked to help. But Curry

Wealth His Reward.

Will Strikebreaker Curry ever get
into the Union League club for fare
we'll dinner when his work is over?
No. The forces of the executive COM
mittee of the Employers association
that were instrumental in enlisting
Curry for the perilous work speak
with the checkbook to such an en-
ploye. They regard him as soldier
of fortune Curry will pass on to
some other center where organized
capital decides to declare its inde-
pendence of the so-called tyranny of
labor-where a dormant citizens asso-
citation or an employers association
arises to present a slogan: Open
shop city or fight to the finish" and
again the will O. wisp of money will
dance before Strikebreaker Curry's
eyes. He will do the work asked of
him. Given enough industrial strife
problems to solve and Curry will
swing around a circuit that will end
only with his period of usefulness.
There was grave talk of putting the
national guard in the streets of Chi
cago when Curry was busiest directing
his men. My boys In a saloon?"
queried Curry in his telephone. Tell
them to steer clear of the saloon.
That's what makes it possible for
ke-breakers to work, lots of times

another chat the wounded leader dis

bobbed up. He gave his opinion of
the situation three hours after view
ing it. Plenty of good police--a chief
who knows the department will do as
it is told-union men who have a rev.
erence for the law that Chicago team
sters do not possess"-and he said to
the millionaire leaders who conferred
with him: IT'S a cinch."
In that strike Curry coined an ex-
preston that only one man heard.
1t was: Negroes have blood
nerves and a desire to work. I'll
fight to put them at par with the
same stocks of the white men" And
it was Curry who saw in his throngs
of big, oOsejointed, silent, powerful,
though not altogether cleanly, colored
recruits from St. Louis and the south
a force that could break the warfare
that International President c. p.
Shea, of the Teamsters' brotherhood,
had precipitated in Chicago.
How Curry Defed Strikers.
The first thing that Curry did when
put in command in Chicago was to
march 300 colored strike-breakers
through crowded streets to teach
them the lay of the land" 1t was only
a picnic for Curry. The marchers
were tired and footsore. Not SO with
Curry. A call went out: I'VE have
lost a wagon. Who will find it? 1t
has a federal injunction placard on it,
but that means some one will lead
tho mob IN mako lyindlin p-uOpd pf II -
It's a cinch," came the familiar re-
mark Of Curry. Step out here, you
fellows. Follow me-"
Policemen never lodged the show
ers of missiles that were directed at
Curry and his band. Time for a grim
joke even by Curry. They are not
trying to curry favor but curry CGrry,"
said the strike-breaker He found the
wagon.
