THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. KATrRDAT, JFNFJ B, Thrilling Story of Pacfcingtown! Novel That Has Startled Nation! BY UPTON SINCLAIR kiwirrilht. 1906. by Upton Sinclair. All Rights Reserved.) rHAPTBR III. (Continued.) . It the *am, Instant the ear was as- Jl>d t.y'a most terrifying shriek; the liters Started In alarm, the women j,nisd pale and shrank • hack. The ikrlek was followed liy another, louder , n a yet more agonizing—for, once .irted upon that Journey, the hog lirer came back; at the top of the trkeel he was shunted off upon a trol ley, and went sailing down the room. And meantime another was swung up. md then another nnd another, until gem was a'double line of them, each dangling by a foot and kicking freniy—and squealing. The uproar Ml appalling. ■ perilous to the !ar.drums; one feared there. waa too much sound for the room to hold— that the walla muat give way or the ceilings crack. There were high squeals and low aqueala, grunta and walls of agony; there would come a momentary lull, and then a fresh out burst, louder than ever, surging up to s deafening climax.’ It waa too much for some of the visitors—the men would look at each other, laughing seriously, and the women would stand with their hands clencHed and the blood rushing to their faces,.and the tears starting in their eyes. Meantime, heedless of all these things, the men upon the floor were lolng about their work.. - Neither the squeals of hogs ..nor, tears of visitors made any difference to them; one by one they hooked up the .hogs,, and one by one with-.a swift stroke they slit their throats. There was a long line of hogs, with squeals and life-blood ebbing away- together: until at last each started- again, and vanished with ■plash Into a'huge vat > ol boiling water. ' l!i .. > it was all so very businesslike that io watched It fascinated. It waa pork-making by machinery. pork> making by-applied-mathematics. - And yet somehow the moat matter-of-fact person could not 'help thinking of the they were Innocent, they ■ so very trustingly, and they were very human In their protests—and . perfectly within their rights! They bad done nothing to deserve It, and It was adding Insult to Injury, as the thing was done here, swinging them up In this cold-blooded, impersonal way. without a pretense at apology, without the homage gf a. tear. Now and then a visitor; wept, to be sure; but this slaught*r' machine ran on, vis itors or no visitors. It was like some horrible crime committed fr. a dungeon, all unseen and unheeded, burled out of sight and of memory. One could nag stand and watch very lpng without becoming phllosoplcal. without beginning to deal In symbol* «nd similes, and to hear the hog-squeal -if the unfvefsff. IV#* It permlted to believe that there was nowhere upon the earth, or abovo the earth, a heav en for hogs, whafa they were requited for all tills suffering? Each one of itaa • hogs was-.ii separate. creature. S mie were- 'dhlto liogs, some were sek; eqjhe werd brown, some were spotted;..soma were old, some ware young; - seme were long and lean, some • were monstrous. And each of them.had nn individuality of his own, s wltTW, Ilfs own, a hope end a heart's desire:’each waa.full of self confidence, of lelf-lmportanco nnd a sense of dig nity. And trusting and strong In falth he had gone about his business, the white a black shadow, hung over him and a horrid FVtto waited In his path way; Now suddenly. It had. swooped upon him, and had seized him by the leg. Relentless, remorseless, It was; til' his protests, his’ adreams, were nothing to It*—it did Its cruel wilt with Wni. ns If hlswishes,, hit feelings, had •Imply no existence st all: It cut. hls throat and watchad him gasp out hla life. And hoar was .one to believe that there was nowhere a god of hogs, to whom this hogepersonality .waa prec ious, to whom. these hog-sqneals and agonies had a meaning? Who would tak- this hog Into.hls arms and com fort him, reward him for bis work well done, and show him the meaning of hls sacrifice? Perhaps some gllmpae Of all this was In the thoughts -of our bumble-minded Jurgts, as he turned to go on with the rest of the party tnd muttered: "Dleve—but I'm glad I'm not a hogt" The carcass hog was scooped out of the vat by machinery, and then It fell to the second floor, passing on the way through a wonderful machine with numerous scrapers, which adjusted themselves to the size and shape of the animal, and sent It out at the other end with nearly all of ita bristles re moved. It was then again strung up by machinery, and sent upon another trolley ride ;th!s.tlme passing between the lines of men who sat upon a raised Platform, each doing a certain thing as SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS CHAPTERS The story of ' The Jungle," Upton Sinclair's novel, which "has caused the government investigation, lqto. the .methods employed by the beef h*d Its origin In actual Packlngtown romance.

Jurgls could not work harder. The novelist then tells how Jurgls, poor, yet with the strength of the oxen he was Istsr fated to kill, aspired to the hand of Ona; how Irer father objected; how the young giant went sadly away and worked like mad until be had accumulated a little money, and how eventually America and the word "Chicago” lured them to this country, where they believed all men were literally equal, and gold awaited those who worked hard and faithfully. Ona'a father being deao, Jurgls won hls suit, after he had obtained a Job In the yards. On arriving In Chicago^ J. Bsvedtlaa, a Lithuanian, who ran a deli catessen store In Packlngtown, guided Jurgle, Ona, UarIJa and the re mainder of the party through the stock yards, after he had given them lodging. In this section of the story, the author reveals some of the things that have startled the country. He tells how a government In spector. typical of hls kind, sits at the door of the freezing room and feels, .the glands of the cattle for tuberculosis—but If one convened with the Inspector and heard Interesting things about cattle disease, 'the ofllcltl would let s dopen bodies pass him without- Investigation. The method of preparation of meat Is vividly portrayed In thle Install ment. and eyep the ,|mple-m|nded children of nature from Lithuania re volt against the conditions described and witnessed dally In the contam inated precinct* of Packlngtown. It came tq him. One scraped the’out side of theleg; anothed scraped the Inside of the same. leg. One.with a swift stroke cut the, throat; another with two swift strokes severed \ the head, which fell; to the floor and van ished • through a:hole. Another made a slit down the body; a second opened the body wider; a third with a saw cqt the breast bone; a fqurth. loosened the entrails: a firth pullcd'thcm out— and they also-sHd through a hole in the floor.- There were men to scrape each side and men.to scrape the. back: there were msh to cleave- the carcass tn- slds; to trim It and wash It. Looking down this room,, one saw, creeping slowly, a line ot dangling hogs a hun dred yards inr -length, and for ever] yard there was a man working as U a demon were after him. At the end of this hog’s progresi every Inch -of the carcass had been gone over several times, and then It was rolled iflto the chilling room, where’It stayed for 24 hours, aha* where a' stranger might lose himself In a forest of fretsing hogs. Before the carets* waa admitted here, however, It had to pasa a gov ernment Inspector, who sat In the door way and felt In the glands of the neck for tuberculosis. This government In spector did not have the manner of a man who was worked to death; he a fear before ■BMBiaSWaBSRaBSISBf yui wore a sociable person, he wss quite willing to enter Into conversation with you, and to explain to you the Madly nature of the ptomaines which art found In tuberculosis pork; and while he was'talking with-you you could hardly be to ungrateful as to notlcs that a dozen carcasses were passing him untouched. Thle Inspector wort due uniform, with brass buttons ‘ ‘ ave an atmosphere of author- it SMI man wno was woraeo to ueatn; was .apparently not haunted by a : that the hog might get by him be ho had finished hls testing, if Ity tnc. and id, as it were, put the-stamp of approval upon the things which were done In Durham's. Jurgls went down the line, with the rest of the vlsltore, staring open- mouthed, 1 oat In wonder. He . had dreteed hoge himself In the forest of Lithuania; but he had never expected to live to sea one hog dressed by sev eral hundred men. It was like a won derful poem to him,.and he.took It all. in guilelessly—even to ths conspicuous signs demanding tmmsculat* cleanli ness of th* employees. Jurgls was vexed when the cynical Jokubas trans lated these eigne with sarcastic com ments, offering to take them to the secret rooms where the spoiled meats were to be doctored. The party dsscendSd to the next floor, where the vsrloue waste materi als were treated. Heft came the en- tralla, to be scraped and washed clean for sausage-casings; men and women worked here in the midst of a sicken ing stench, which caused the visitors to hasten by, gasping. To another room came all the scrape to be "tank ed,” which meant (railing and pumping iff the grease to make soap and lard; below they took' out the refuse, and this too was a region In which the vle- ttors did not linger. In still other place* men were engaged In cutting up the carcasses that had been through the chilling roome. First there were the "»plttt.er»," the- most expert work men In the plant, who earned Be high os SO cents an hour, and did nothing all day except chop hogs down the middle. Then there- were "clever men." gr.-.-u Kimiis with mii-.-ie* of Iron; each had two men to attend him—to elide the half carcass In front of him on the table, and hold it while he chopped It, and then turn each- piece so that he might chop It once more. Hls-cleaver had a blade about-two-feet long, and he never. made but one cut; he made It a6 neatly, too, that hla Implement did not smite through nnd dull tteelf— there waa Juab enough force for n per- feqt. cut, and no more. So through various yawning holes there slipped to the floor betow—to one room hams, to another forequarters, \o another sldea of pork. One might go down to this floor and aee the pickling rooms, where the hams wire put Into vats, and th* great smoke-rooms with their air tight Iron doors. In other rooms they prepared salt pork—there were whole cellars full of It, built up In- grai ] era to the oelltng. In yet other they were putting up meat - In boxes and barrels, and wrapping hams and bacon In oiled paper- sealing and lab elling and sewing them. From the doors of these roome went men with loaded trucks, to th* platform where freight cars were waiting to be filled; and one went out there and realised with a start that he had come at lost to the ground floor -of this enormous building. Then th* party went across the street to where tney dlcl the killing of beef—Ivhere every hour they turned four-or live hundred cattle Into-meat. Unlike the plac* they, had left, nil thin work waa done on ono floor; nnd In stead of there being,one line of car casses which, moved Jo the workmen, there were fifteen or twenty lines, nnd the men moved from one to another of these. This made a scene of Intense activity, n picture of human power wonderful to watch. It was *11 In one great.rootn, like a circus amphitheater. With a g.V ; f -1 I l-n-.r- r jimlmr «i the center. Along one aide of the room. ran a narrow gallery, a few feet from the floor; Into which gallery the cattle were driven by men with goals which cm- them electric shocks. One* crawl,■-! in here, th* creatures were prisoned, each In s separata, pen, by gates that shut, leaving them too mom to turn around: and while they, stood bellowing and plunglivr, over the top of the pea.tbere caned one of the “knockers,'' armed with a sledge hammer, and watching for a chance to deal a bio#.' ’ Th* room echoed with th* thuds - In quick succession, and th* stamping and kicking of th* stssrs. Th* Instant th* animal had fallen,- the "knockers” pasied on to anothtr; white a second man raised a lever, and ths side of the pen was raised and th* animal, still kicking and struggling, slid out the "killing bed.” Here a man put shackles about on* leg, and prtssed another lever, andth* body was Jerked up Into the sir. There were fifteen or twenty such pens, and It wss a matter of only a couple of minute* to knock fifteen or twenty cattle and roll them out. Then once more the gates were opened, and another lot rushed In; and so out of each pen there rolled a steady stream of carcasses, which the men upon the killing beds had to get out of the way. The manner In which they did this w*g something to be seen and never forgotten. They worked with furious Intensity, literally upon the run—at a pace with which there 1* nothing to be compared except a football game. It was all highly specialised labor, each having hls task to do; generally thle would consist of only two or three specific cuts, and he would pass down the line of fifteen or twenty carcass**, making these cuts upon each. First, there come the "butcher,” to bleed them; this meant on* swift stroke, so ■wlft that you could not see It—only the flash of the knife; and before you could realise It, the man had darted on to the next line, and • stream of bright red was pouring out upon the floor. This floor waa half an Inch deep » lili M - -I. m “i-li- -t t’ ■■ I'- si -n--It- of men who kept shovelling ft through holes; It must have made th* floor slippery, but no one could have guessed this by watching the men at work. The carcass hung for a few minutes to bleed; there was no time lost, how ever, for there were several (ranging In each line, and one wae always ready. It was let down to the ground, and there came the "headsman," whose task It was to sever the head, wltn two or three awlft stroke*. Then came the “flooreman,” to make the first rat In the skin; and then another to finish ripping the tkln down the center; and then a half dozen more In swift suc cession, to finish the skinning. After they were through, the carcass was again swung up: and while s man with a stlqk examined the skin, to make sure that It had not been cut. and another rotted It up and tupibled it through on* of the tosarttaMs hates In th* floor, the beef proceeded on Its Journey. There were men to cut It, and men to tplt It, and men to gut It and scrape it dean Maid*. Thera were some with hose which threw Jeta of boiling water upon It, and others who removed the feet and added th* final touches. In the end. as with the I the finished beef wae run Into chllllng room, to hang Its appointed time. The visitors were taken there and shown them, all neatly hung In rows, labelled conspicuously with the tags ot the government Inspector*—and some, which had been killed by a special pro cess, marked’ With the sign of the ‘‘kosher” rabbi, certifying that It was fit for sale to the orthodox. And then the visitors were taken to the other parts of the building, to tee what be came of each particle of the waste material that had vanished through the floor; and to the pickling rooms, and the salting rooms, the canning rooms, and the packing rooms, where choice meat was prepared for shipping In re frigerator cars, daattnad to be eaten In all th* four coroera of civilisation. Af- terward they went outside, wandering about among the maxes of buildings In which wss done the work auxiliary to thle great Industry. There waa scarce ly a thing needed In the buzlnezs that Durham It Co. did not make for them- selvet. There was a great steam power plant and an electricity plant. Thera waa a barrel factory, and then a boiler repair shop. Thera was a building to which the grease was piped, and mad* Into soap and lard; and then there wqs a factory for making soap boxes There was a building In which the bris tles won cleaned and dried, for the making of hair SMMmn Ms Mb things; there was a building In which the skins were dried and tnnnod, there was another where li<-ail« and feet were made Into glue, and another where* bones were made Into fertilizer. No tiniest particle of organic matter was wasted In Durham's. Out of the horns ot the cattle they mado combs, buttons, hairpins and Imitation Ivory; out of th* shin bones and other big bones they cut knife and toothbrush | handles, and mouthptecoa for pipes: (S m, IS •-. ■" f i.:'H UPTON SINCLAIR.

CHAPTER IV. Promptly at soven tho next morning Jurgls reported for work. He came to the door that had been pointed out to him, and there hs waited for nearly two hours. The boss had meant for him to sntar, but had not said this, and so It wss only when op hie way out to hire another man that be cam* upon Jurgls, Ho gave him a good curelng; but as Jurgls did not understand a word of It ho did not object. He followed th* hoes, who showed him where to put hls street cloths*, and waited while he donned the working clothe* he had bought In a second-hand shop and brought with him In a bundle; then he led him to th* "kilting beds." The work which Jurgts was to do hen waa very simple, anil It took him but a few min ute* to learn It. He was provided with a stiff broom, such a* Is used by slrest >ers. snd It was hls place to fol- town th* line the man who drew out ths smoking sntrslla from th* car cass of tbs steer: this mss* wss to hs swspt Into a trap, which was then next day and Mm wouid perhaps give her a Chance to learn the trade of painting can*.

Marlja hurat In upon tho family with tho yell of a Comanche Indian, and fell to capering ahont the r -on s i its to frighten the baby almost lute convulsions. Better luck than all this could hsrdly have been hoped for; there was only one of then left to acok a place. Jurgls was determined that Teta Elznleta should stay at home to keep house, and that Ona should help her. Hs would not have Ona working—he was M'.t that r rt of a tnan, he said, and she was not that sort of a woman. It would be a strange thing tf a man tike him could not support the family, with the help ot the hoard of Jonas and Marlja. Ho would not even hear of lot ting Iho children go to work—there were schools here In America for chli- di.'ii, .1 inm - had Imerl; to which they could go for nothing That the j-rteet would ohjert to thoao •chnols was something of which he had as yet no Idea, and for Iho present hls mind wss mado up that tho - hlldren of Teta Elzbleta should'hav* as fair a chance na any other children. The oldest of them, little Stanlslovas, waa hut 12. ami • mall for hls age at that: and while ' Moo -on of Sicdvuas rras only II. and had worked for over a year at Jonca'. Jurgls would havo It that Rtan- ImIiiv.i.i al.n-tld learn to apeak English K r tl,' t. he .1 rklhed in in. So. there was only old Dede Antants. Jurgls would have had him real, loo, but ho was forced to acknowledge that this was not possible, nnd, besides, the old man would not hear It spoken of— 11 V II -1 him to liislHt that l.e was as lively as any boy. Ho hnd come to America aa full of hope os the hast of them, and now he wea the chief prob lem that worried hie son. For every one that Jurgts spoke to assured him that It was a waste of time to seek employment for the old man In Park- Ington. Hzedvllna told him that the kers did not even koep th* men who ;-it- a had closed, so that no one might slip Into It. A* Jurgls came In. the first cattle of Iho morning were Just making their appearance; and *o, with scarcely time to look about him, and none to epe&k to any one, he fell to work. It was a sweltering day In July, and th* place ran with attaining hot blood—one waded ln.lt on the floor. The atench ' v .s* almost overpowering, but to Jur- ftla It waa nothing. Hla whola aoul waa dancing with Joy—h* waa at work at laat! H# waa at work and earning money! All day long he was figuring to himself. He waa paid th* fabulous sum of 171-1 rents a hour; and as It proved a rush day and ho worked until nearly 7 o'clock In the evening, he went homo to the ramlly with the tiding* that he had earned more than a dollar and half In a single day! At home also there was more good news; so much of It at oars that there was quite a celebration In Anlele’s hall bedroom. Jonas bad beeh to have an Interview with the special policeman to whom Hzedvllaa had Introduced him. and had been taken to so-- several Of tho bosses, with th* result that one had promised him a Job In the begin ning of the next week. And then there was Marlja Uercayaakaa, who, tired with Joalousy by the success of Jurgls, Imd set out upon her own responsibili ty to get a place. Marlja had noth ing to take with her eare her two brawny arms and th* word "Job.” labo riously learned; but with these she had marched about Packlngtown all day. entering every floor where there were signs ot activity. Out of some the hnd hesn ordered with curses; but Marlja waa not afraid of man or devil, and asked every ono she saw—visitors and strangers, or work peopla like horsslf. nnd once or twice even high and lofty office personages, who stared at her as If they thought she waa crazy. In th* end. however, ah* had reaped her re ward. In on* of th* smaller plants ah* had stumbled upon a room where scores of women and girls were sit ting at long tables preparing smoked beef In cans; and wondering through room after room, Marlja ram* at laat to th* plac* where th* sealed cans were being painted and labeled, and here ah* had ths good fortune to encountar th* "forelady." Marlja did not understand titan, as ah* was dsstlned to under- stand later, what there waa attractive to a "forelady*' about th* combiMiiF.h of a face full of boundleee good nature and th* muscles of a dray hone; but the woman hod told her lo com* th* d groiflo old In their own service—to ■ ,n ii. ililng nf taking nn n.oi ones. And ii.it i,|iIv v.ib It the rule liere. It was th* rule everywhere In America, •o far aa he knew. To satisfy Jurats tin had asked .th* policeman, and brought back th* message that ths thing was not to be thought of. They had net told th!* to old Anthony, who li "I ' iinseqin-ntly -pent the two days wandering about from ono part of fha yards to another, and had now com* lion e to In or nt -mt ttie triumph of the others, smiling bravely and suylng that It would be hls turn another day. Their good luck, they felt, had given them ths right to think about u home, .111,1 flMlllg . .Ill 1 ,11 the il'IOl M-[| Hint summer evening they held consulta tion about It, and Jurgls took occasion to broach a weighty subject. Passing ,I 's'n III' CM lino to mull that morn ing he had seen two boys leaving sn advertisement from house to house: and seeing that there were pictures upon It, Jurgls had halted for one. and ..., I i idled It up iiil.l I licked It hit.i hls shirt. At noontime a man with w hom he had been talking had read It in Mini mi I told Mhi. it little shout It, with the result that Jurgls had conceived a wild Idea He brought out the placard, which wae quite a work of art. It was near ly I feet long, printed on calrndereU paper, with a selection of colors so bright that they shone even In ths moonlight. The center of the placard V ss n, cupled by n house, brilliantly painted, now and dazzling. The roof Of It was of a purple hue, and trimmed* with gold; the house Itaslf waa silvery, and th* door* and windows rsd. It waa a two-story building, with a porch In front, and a very fancy scrollwork :iriuiiid the. edges; It wo* complete lu every tiniest detail, even the door knob, and there was a hammock on tho porch and white lace curtains in the windows. Underneath this. In one corner, was n picture of a husband and wife In loving embrace; In th* nppo- :lt.- i inner mis ii cradle, with fluffy curtains drawn over II, and a smiling cherub hovering upon sllvei-colored wings.
