breaker" liable lieutenant" etc., Of Mr..
Frederick W. Job, the talking delegate
Of the Chicago Employers Association.
One day Curry received an unmerciful
beating and was sent to the hospital.
The Associated Press sent out lurid
accounts of how union thugs" had
assaulted Curry and the Parry organs
toiled over with rage at the "dastardly
outrage"
Now comes the liable lieutenant" and
makes a public statement, printed in
the Hammond Und) Advocate, In
which he charges the immaculate Job
With being one of the worst, low down
villains that has ever succeeded In re-
raining outside of penitentiary walls.
Curry's story is reported as follows,
and it may be taken for granted that
it will not be circulated by the CAPT.
talist press this time, as were his stor-
les during the strike, when he was
l;.uded to the skies as q great hero:
There appeared in Chicago papers
seine time ago an article stating that
I was assaulted by union sluggers and
badly beaten. I wish to state that
was not molested by any union men at
all. was assaulted by two of Fred
Jobs sluggers, and as the talk is going
50 far will let some of that cat out
ci the bag. If Job monkeys with me
again 1 will let the whole thing loose.
"Some weeks ago Job wanted me to
do certain work did not like. One of
them was to take command OF a crew
of sluggers and go out and incite the
striking teamsters to violence. re-
fused and demanded my money for
work had done. He refused unless
I obeyed his latest orders.
Il told Job If he would not settle
with me in full that would turn him
and his assistants up for grating,
that I would see the head men of the
Employers Association and tell them
about the money that was grated from
the Employers Association.
Then Job got more sociable and
told me to go back to st. Louis and
he would send me the money. Then
Job got his chief lieutenant, Tom Ma
Crane, who was discharged from the
police force for scandal some time ago,
to assault me in Jobs office.

hold me while Mhgrane licked me,
but shook them off and whipped Ma

me arrested and to kill me if did
not leave town.
II did not leave, and again Job
sent man named Dresher to my room
in the Grand Pacific to try and COM
promise with me and to send me away.
That also failed; and next man
named ]. A. Sanford came to me and
told me to be on the lookout, that
man named Gamble Zone Of Jobs mem
came to him and tried to hire him to
slug me.
Then it came that this man named
Lowery, an exist. louis criminal, one
man, attacked me with two black
jacks.
Job paid Buckminster $4,000 and
his orders were to slug every man
they met on the streets, and some Of
his men don't deny 1t. OF course Job
has got his share, as he had bled the
employers to a fare-you-well."
It does SEEM as though the Parry
plutocrats, who pose as our law-abid-
ing, best" citizens, ought to feel
ashamed of themselves for forming al
liances with the most disreputa BILE
criminals to be found, and spend tens
of thousands of dollars for no other
purpose than to revenge themselves
upon honest men and women who de-
mand the right Of a voice in determine
ing the conditions under which they
must labor.
Look at the millions Of dollars these
so-called best citizens spent in Col
orado last year to destroy the miners

assaults and deportations honest work.

instead Of spending millions of dollars
in attempting to destroy organized Ia
Dor, allowed these enormous sums to
pass through their fingers and into
the pockets of their workers as wages,
the latter would not only he greatly

whole race would become more INTEL

But the would-be union-s mashers
have become calloused and hardened.
They care less for a worker and his
family than they do for their horses
and dogs. The greed for the almighty
dollar has made kleptomaniacs of

sometimes marvel when we read his
