Drawn, brains and grit to help them
in their troubles.
Must Please Men of Wealth.

enough Drawn to not know he has a
stomach needs that capitalists money.
He can't win, taking it from the rich
mamie 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 get more
from the rich man than a bookkeeper
could earn in so times your period
of work.
eff you are breaking strike don't
ask what kind Of union button the
assailant wears-give him a quick
rising one on the forehead for moth
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 it by giving your best
work for the man who employs you.
Fat Checks Salve Wounds.
mo physical pain you can get in
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 a new science-he will mas
ter it and have 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 come 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 a 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.

and fight?" 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"
"It's 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 it please the court
ha! ha! hall think my aim was bad
very bad-worse than that of a
woman. You see it's better to hit a
striker than lad playing a block
away and you can afford to shoot into
the ground once in awhile"
Farley, the Silent.
II Curry is studying to simulate Far
ley he is 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
G. H. Northam, ready after midnight
to man New YOrks 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 ours in the hold:' Farley never
spoke except in low tone to 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 fide 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. 1t paid
him and filed his name for future use
Curry Once Motorman.
Curry learned the use of the motor
mans controller handle. He could
stop a trolley car at a street crossing
