orawn. brains and grit to help them


 "The young man who has a few ounces of brains, carload of grit and enough brawn to not know he has a stomach needs that capitalists money. He can't win, taking it from the rich man-he must please him to get it. !
 Please the capitalist by showing him that law and order will spread out before you if you fight disorder and lawlessness and you will got more from the rich man than bookkeeper could earn in 50 times your period of work. e7
 "If you are breaking a strike don't ask what kind of a union button the assailant wears-give him a quick rising one on the forehead for noth- ing. if he assaults you. He'll keep his dues paid then in the university of ex- perience.
 Think of the chances you have in life with money earned quickly and in large sums. Be mercenary. if you will. but get 1t by giving your best work for the man who employs you.
 Fat Checks salve Wounds.
 No physical pain you can get in a riot lasts long. The nice check that comes at the end of your work will make you forget few bruises and scars.
 And this from a man whose eye was bandaged. whose head was swollen from club wounds and whose body bore bruises from the brick shower he had defied. Look for the cynic's smile when he concludes his epigrammatic talk and you will be disappointed. Curry has new science-he will mas ter it and have a bank account that will take him far from the madding crowd. as it were. Some day he may have sheep ranch and extend an in- vitation to some old and broken for mer labor. chief to ceme and be his herder.
 Demands Only Courage.
 Farley never forgot a mans name If he passed scrutiny and got his de- scription on his little red book that he kept in safe in his office in Pittsburg. Those names were fund that he drew upon for the railway and street trans portation chiefs when they needed strike-breakers. But Curry has no list. He would not be bothered with book. He will take the leadership of the biggest and most nondescript throng of nonunion men, black or white-and black preferred-that any employment agency ever hustled into day coaches for long train ride.
 ''Is he man? Can he drive team and flght?" Those are the only que ries Curry puts to his recruits after they are turned over to him. He will talk of the rich merchants of St. Louis putting rifles on their shoulders, shut ting themselves up in their Washing ton street barracks and fighting the mobs of unionists He will say that their hands trembled when their fin gers pulled the triggers that sent mes sengers of death to rioters. But his sickly smile follows his conclusion They broke the strike"
 Its what guns were made for-to shoot. l shot at men lots of times. They had me tingling with pain when l did it and, may 1t please the court ha! ha! hail think my aim was bad very bad-worse than that of a woman. You see it's better to hit a striker than a lad playing a block away and you can afford to shoot into the ground once in awhile"
 Farley, the Silent.
 If Curry is studying to simulate Far ley he is a poor student Farley never talked that much to anybody. The skill of Farley, who had 5000 employees rushed up the East river to the Inter- borough power house on the steamer C. H. Northam. ready after midnight to man New York's cars that the AmalgamAted Association of Street and Electric Railway Employees had deserted. never was menaced by gar rulity. Union men. richer than other workmen. naughty because they had powerful and rich unions behind them and ignorant of the true strength of Farley as a strike breaker. scoffed when the Northam left her Jersey City anchorage.
 Her decks are deserted" they said. This man Farley has a bakers dozen of CUTS in the hold" Farley never spoke except in a low tone to a lieu tenant of "Farley's Own" He had made trips to the principal cities of the country, selected his men and had brought them to New York's portals. A few hours later he put them in charge of the cars and one day later had the unions suing for peace. There was scarcely an interview with Far ley in a Manhattan paper that was bona fde. Capital spent no time in foolish praise of the man who gave it the weapon to humble strikers whose ultimatums to the company i'm, posed impossible conditions. It paid him and filed his name for future use.
