HARLEY, THE KING OF A NOTED TRIl
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
 Occupation Born of Industrial Strife. 8&

Chicago interests" have put the stamp of approval upon one com paratively new industry in the United States-strike breaking There's 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 "Farley's 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 we'll 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 strealzs of yellow, be they in the black man or in the white man." is

 Brains VI. 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 once went into effect wherever Farley strung his Tive wires without . hitch. Curry. after all. was strike-breaker who needed a general manager or superintendent to help plan for the trips.
 Then there was the ice wagon driv- CTS strike in St. Louis. Farley did not aspire to breaking" that Maybe he was not asked to help. But Curry

ina sick man. Down in . 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" It will break him. And when this is done 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, he had the nerve"
 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 a pair of brass knuckles." Fretting over the orders of physician that he remain in a darkened room. the strike-breaker showed his impatience to his few call. CTS. I've only got cinder in my eye," said Curry.

 They do be sayin' that this Curry the strike-breaker, will have Farley wid him tomorrow, mister. I'd hate to be teamster in the profession" My good fellow. a strike-breaker can sleep ten hours a night like you do. perhaps" was the reply of the man in the auto-one of the merchant princes whose word in the Employers association was law.
 And the wonder is that strike breaker of prominence can find room in which he feels secure enough to drop into slumber.

PASSING OF MEDICINE MAN
Red Men Are Coming to Believe in the Virtues of the White
 Mans Medicine. anJ,61s

The skilled professional doctor Is one of the greatest helps to the h. 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 eradicated by the doctor, but there still remains in many cases . mental uncertainty that de- mands the attention of the tribal med icine man. It is not a foible or fancy, but mental disease governed by countless ages of mysticism which necessitates the occult. mindeasing treatment of the old days. This, then. is . 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. It is as necessary to the Indian as . certain amount of mind cure Is essential to our happiness.
 The knowledge of modern curative agents should be imparted 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 ganization 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.

 Farley the Mysterious.
 "Farley's here-he will have 2.0oo 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 -ye who were watching for the man whom the millionaire merchants ex- pectsd 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 1st into the hand of the executive Bead of New York's Interboro1gh and sronissd with the grasp of friendship so break the strike of s.501 employees inside of io hours.

 Tn that strike Curry coined an ex. pression that only one man heard It was: Negroes have blood nerves and 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. loose-j -jointed. 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" It was only . picnic for Curry. The marchers were tired and footsore. Not so with Curry. A call went out: We have lost . wagon. Who will find it? Il has a federal injunction placard on it but that means some one will lead the mob to make kindling-wood of it.
 Its a cinch." came the familiar re. mark of Curry. Step out here. you fellows. Follow me-"
 Policemen never dodged the show. CTS of missiles that were directed al Curry and his band. Time for grim joke even by Curry. They are no, trying to curry favor but curry Curry. said the strike-breaker. He found tht wagon
 Wealth His Reward.
 Will Strikebreaker Curry ever ge, 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 enlistinl Curry for the perilous work speal with the checkbook to such an em' ploye. They regard him as a soldier of fortune Curry will pass on tf some other center where organized capital decides to declare its inde. pendence of the so-called tyranny o labor-where a dormant citizens asso ciation or an employers association arises to present . slogan: Open shop city or fight to the finish" and again the will O wisp of money vii dance before suikebreaker Curry's eyes. He will do the work asked oI him. Given enough industrial strife problems to solve and Curry wil swing around . circuit that will end only with his period of usefulness.
