Character Study of Curry. Who Is Conducting Battle

Occupation Born of Industrial Strife

ChlcagO.-"Vested 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
lshmaelite 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 Transfers 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.

"Farley's here-he will have 1000
negroes at his back and Chicago's

message that went through the room
where were gathered the chiefs of the

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

head on Winchester and had a body

fist into the hand OF the executive

Ono Of the fastest runs ever made
into Council Bluffs took place on
Sunday, when Thomas Savage, en-
ginesr Of the Northwestern fast mail
train, No. Is, pulled his train from
Cedar Rapids 30 this city In hours
and ~ minuses, the Schedule time
for the run being hours. Savage
is 70 years Old, but his hand Is stea.
dy, his eye clear and his nerve
strong. From Boone 70 Council
Bluffs, hours and a. minutes was
the time consumed making the run
OF $50 miles in 14z minutes, twenty
minutes OF the time being consumed
at stopping points. The distance from
Cedar Rapids is 2S5 miles. Deduct
ing the time spent ar stopping points,
me rate was more than a mile a
minute. During one stretch between
Boone and Council Bluffs seventy.
two miles Of iron rails were passed
by the train in exactly sixty.nine
minutes, and two short stops we're
made. Large pebbles were found on
the platform Of the passenger coach
at the rear OF the train when II
came into the station At Council
Bluffs. The reason for the fast run
was the effort on the part Of the
company TO make up the time which
had been lost between Chicago and
Cedar Rapids. The train pulled m.
TO the station at Omaha one minute
ahead 0f time.

At the state convention Of the Disci-
pies Of Christ in Iowa held in Mount
Pleasant, Iowa, in June, 1855, q reso-
luton was passed to establish a col
lege in Iowa, thv location to be de-
clded at a futu.e time. OskaIoosa,
Marion, Winterset and Mount Pleas
ant were DESTROYS to secure the loca-
ton. A. ). Nichols, OF Oskaloosa, OF
fered to donate ten acres Of ground
for such an institution, and the citi-
zens Of oskaloosa raised subscrip'
ton of $30,050 and secured it's loca'
ton. This decision was reached at
an adjourned meeting Of the state con.
vention held in Oskaloosa Oct. 10 to
10. 1856. The charter members OF
the board OF trustees were the follow
ing: Aaron Chatterton, Richard Par
ker, DIR. G. G.. Owen, J. Atkins, w. T.
Smith, J. II. Bacon, A. s. Nichols,
Matthew Edmundson, 9. Hall j. M.
Berry, w. A. Saunders, J. Swallow, s..
n. Bonham and 8. H. Mcclure. At a
Board meeting in November, Aaron
Chatterton, w. T. Smith and A. John
son were appointed committee on
articles OF incorporation. At later
meeting the report OF the committee
was adopted and on motion OF Aaron
Chatterton, the institution was named
oskaloosa College. On June n, 1857,
the contract for the building was let
TO ]. ]. Adams for $24, 500 and Aaron
Chatterton and J. F. Rowe were en-
ployed as soliciting agents to raise an
endowment fund. The work was be.
gun with energy and earnestness, and
in short time tney had secured In
endowment notes the sum of1$20, 900.
Everything looked suspicious for the
beginning of regular college work In
1858. But when everything seemed
promising the financial crisis OF 1857
burst upon the country. Contractors
failed. subscribers were unable to pay
their pledges. debts were incurred,
and mortgages and leins were follow
ed by law suits. II seemed as though
all was TO be lost, when with the help
of a few friends, Richard Parker saved
the enterprise from absolute wreck.
He was treasurer Of the college board
and 1t became the passion Of his lire
to see the work completed. BY great
self.sacridce he raised enough money
to save the property from sale and
made some progress upon the building
Of the walls. After four years Of pa
tent effort one wing was enclosed.
On June 8, 1860. the state convention
Of the church voted to raise a relief

That is the object of a well formed

who would naturally be Interested
in such a project. and, while nothing
can be done at this session of the
Legislature, nor will any such attempt
be made, it is proposed to come be
fore the lawmakers two years hence
with an array of facts and statistics
which will warrant immediate action.
Clorado's proportion of adult blind

almost any other state in the union.

on account of the preponderance of
the mining industry in the state and
the frequency of mining accidents
which deprive the victim of sight.
Two plans are proposed. one to
build n separate learning institution
in which the adult blind may be
cared for while learning some use
full trade, and the other is to increase
the appropriation for the Colorado
school for the blind at Colorado
Springs. and to add an adult depart
ment there. The former plan is IA
vored, principally because of recog-
nized objections to the association
of adults and children under such
circumstances. Besides, 1t is figured
that there are no less than 1000
blind adults in Colorado today. and
it would be almost impossible to
accommodate even a 1.-THE of these
in the Colorado Springs institution.
