WOMEN IN PACKINGTOWN MENACED BY SUPERIORS;
SOCIAL PERILS ARE POINTED OUT IN “THE JUNGLE”
N —
Upton Sinclair's Story Depicts
Evils That Girls in the Beef
Houses Face to Keep
Miserable Positions.
CHAPTER X—(CONTINUED).
The girls worked at a long table,
and behind them walked a woman with
pencil and notebook keeping count of
the number they finished. Thla woman
wax. of course, only human, and aomt-
time* made mistakes; when this hap
pened there was no redr*#.—if on Sat-
urday you got leas money than you
had earned you had to make the best
of It. But Marlja did not understand
thla and mad* a disturbance. Marlja’a
dliturbances did not mean anything
and while ah* had known only Llthu-
anlan and Poltah they had done no
harm, for tka people only laughed at
h.r and made her cry.
But now Marlja wa* able to call

Halng her. Probably, as Marlja clalm-

ed, alia mads mistakes on purpose after
that: at any rate, aha made them, and
the third time It happened Marlja went
on the warpath and took th* matter
first to th* foralady, and. whan ah* got
no satisfaction there, to th* superin
tendent.
This was unheard-of presumption,
but th* superintendent said he would
see about It, which Marlja took to
mean that aha was going to get her
money. After waiting three days she
went to see the superintendent again.
Thla time the man frowned, and aald
that he had not had time to attend to
It; and when Marlja, against tha ad
vice and warning ox every one, tried If
once more, he ordered her back to her
work In a pax,ton.
Just how things happened after that
Marlja waa not aura, but that after
noon the forelady told her that her
services vouM not be any longer re
quired. Poor Marlja could not have
been more dumfounded bad th* woman
knocked her over th* head: at first ah*
could not believe what ahe had heard,
and then she grew furious and swore
that she would com* anyway; that her
place belonged to her. In the end aba
aat down In the middle of th* floor and
wept and walltd.
It was a cruel lesson, but then Mari-
ja waa headstrong—ahe should have
listened to those who had had expe
rience. The next time eh# would know
her place. Sa the forelady expresnd It:
and so Marlja went out, and tha family
faced th# problem of an existence again.
It waa especially hard this time, for
Ona waa In 111 health, and Jurats waa
trying hard to save np money for thla.
He had heard dreadful atorlea of the
mldwivea, who grow aa thick aa flea.
In Packlngtown. and he had made up
hla mind that Ona must have a man
doctor. Jurgls could be very obstinate
when he wanted to, and he wa* In thla
case, much to th* dismay of th* wo
men. who felt that a man doctor waa
an impropriety, and that th* matter
really belonged to them. Th* cheapest
doctor they could find would charge
them 215, and perhaps more when the
bill came In, and here waa Jurgls de-
daring that he would pay It, oven If
he had to atop eating In tha meantime!
Marlja had only about twenty-five
.dollar* left Day after day ah* wan
dered about the yard* begging a Job,
but thla time without hope of finding
tt. Marlja could do tha work of an
able-bodied man. when ah* waa cheer
ful, but discouragement wore her out
easily, and she would coma home at
night a pitiable object She learned
her lesson this time, poor creature; ah*
learned It ten times over. All the fam
ily learned It along with her—that
when you have once got a Job In Pack
lngtown you hang on to It come what
will.
Four weeks Marlja hunted, and half
of a fifth week. Of course she .topped
paying her duee to the union. She had
about mads up htr mind that ahe waa a
lost soul, when somebody told her of
an opening, and she went and got a
place as a "beef trimmer.” She got
thla because the boss saw that aha had
the muscles of a man, and so he dis
charged a man and put Marlja to do
hla work, paying her a little more than
half what he had been paying before.
When she first came to Packlngtown
Marlja would have scorned such work
a* this. She waa In another canning
factory, and her work waa (o trim the
meat of those diseased cattle that Jur
gls had been told about not long before.
She waa shut up In one of the rooms
where the people seldom saw the day
light; beneath htr war* the chilling
rooms, where the meat was frozen, and
above her were the cooking rooms;
and so the stood on an Ice cold floor,
while her head waa often so hot that
ah* could scarcely breathe.
Trimming beef off the bonea by the
hundred-weight, while standing up
from early morning till late at night,
with heavy boots on and the Door al
ways damp and full of puddles, liable
to be thrown out of work Indefinitely
because ofT slackening In the trade,
liable again to be kept overtime In
rush seasons, and be worked till ah*
trembled In every nerve and lost her
grip on her slimy knife, and gave her
self a poisoned wound—that was th*
new life that unfolded Itself before
Marlja.
But because Marlja was a human
hors* she merely laughed and want
at It: It would enable her to pay her
board again, and keep the family go
ing. . And aa for Tamosslus—well, they
had waited a long time, and they could
wait a little longer. They could not
possibly get along upon hla wages
alone, and the family could not live
without hers. He could come and
visit her; and elt In the kitchen and
bold her hand, and he must manage to
be content with that.
But day by day th* music of Tamos-
alus’ violin became more passionate
and heart-breaking: and Marlja would
sit with her hands clasped and her
cheeks wet and all her body a-trem
b!*.*
Marijs's lesson come just In time to
save Ona from a similar fate. Ona,
too, was dissatisfied with her place,
and had far more reason than Marlja.
Hhe did not tell hnjf of her story at
home, because she saw It was a tor
ment to Jurats, and she was afraid
of what be might do. For a long time
Ona had seen that Mias TIcndcrsnn,
the forelady In her department, did
not like her.
At first she thought It was the old-
time mistake ahe had mado In ask
ing for a holiday to get married. Then
ahe concluded It must be because she
did not give the foralady a present oc
casionally—aha waa the kind who took
presents from the girls, Ona learned,
and mad* all aorta of discriminations
In favor of those who gave them. In
the end, however, Ona discovered that
It waa even won* than that Mia*
Hendaraon waa a new-comer, and It
waa some time before rumor mad* bar
out; but finally It transpired just what
her status was. Tha superintendent of
the department had put her there to
keep her quiet. It seemed—and that
not altogether with success, for once
or twice they had been heard quarrel
Ing. She had the temper of a hyena,
and soon the place she ran was
witch's caldron.
There were some of the girls who
were of her own sort, who were will
ing to toady to her and flatter her,
and these would carry tales about th*
rest and so th* furies were unchained
In th* place. Wore* than thla, th*
lived In a disreputable house
down-town. <
In th* sleek season some of them
would go with Mln Henderson to this
house down-town—In fact. It would
not be too much to asy that ahe man
aged her d.pertment at Brown's In
conjunction with IL Sometimes wo
men from the house would be given
places alongside of decent girt a, and
after exher decent girls had been turn
ed out to make room for them.
When you worked In this woman's
department the house down-town waa
never out of your thoughts all day—
there were always whiff* of It to be
caught, like th* odor of the Packing-
town rendering plants at night, when
the wind shifted suddenly. There
would be stories about tt going th*
rounds; the girls opposite you would
be telling them and winking at you.
In such a place Ona would not have
stayed a day but for starvation; and.
SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS CHAPTERS
The etory of "The Jungle,’* Upton Hlnclalr** novel, which caused tho
government Investigation Into the methods employed by the Beef Trust,
has Its origin In an actual Packlngtown romance.
The Aral chapter shows a broad-shouldered butcher being wedded to
a young girl who sees In him a hero. The wedding, In all Its groteique-
neaa, la described.
Practically penniless, Jurgls tells hla bride aha shall not return to
work In th* parking house—lie will work early and lata. <
On arriving In (Ihlcago, J. Bsedvllos, a Lithuanian, who ran a ilollca-
ttaaen store In Parklngtonn, guided Jurgls, Ona. Marlja and the re
mainder of the party through the stock yards, after he had given them
lodging. *
Tha little coterie decided to purchase a house. They were to pay 112
a month for It. They find they nave been swindled—that th* company
charges such Interest that they will be unable to pay.
Jurgls refused to join a labor union that would have promoted th*
Interests of all. II* did not understand that the Ilf* waa being worked out
of him.
The little family discover* that the real estate agent of the Packing-
town concern for which It* mature member* worked had taken advan
tage of their Ignorance, and thrust Into th* lease of the house a clause
compelling them to pay exorbitant Interest on th* structure. Btanl.lovaa,
the youngeet of the party, was sent to work. The certificate of age held by
him Med. It said he was 15. He was years younger. Ona, too; waa forced
to seek a Job. Hhe paid 110 aa tribute to the forelady who engaged her.
Jurgls’ health Is falling from tba tarribl* grind, and one suffers for weeks
with excruciating palna because of dampness and overwork.

It, assuredly a marx.iou* |,oNs...ton.
It would grow up to ho n man, a hu

The coming of thla boy waa a decls

revocably a family man: U killed the
last lingering Impulse that he might
have had to go out In the evenings
and sit and talk with the men In the
saloons. There waa nothing he cared
for now ao much aa to alt and look at
the baby.
Thla waa very curious, for Jurgle
had naver been Interested In babies
before. But then thla waa • very un
usual sort of a baby. He had the
brightest little black eyea, and little
black ringlets aU over hla head; he
waa the living lroage of hla father, ev
