New York, July 20.—Dr. Julian
Thomas, formerly of Atlanta, Ga., to
day In telling of the balloon trip he
made with his wife and Hoy Knaben-
shue yesterday’ from the gas works in
ih** Bronx, said
“Our descent into One Hundred and
Sixth street was only an undesirable
Jnrldent. We would never have eome
to earth If the men below had let the
drag rope alone. We shouted to them,
but they* did not hear us.
"While Knabenshue and Mrs. Thom
as were making the crowd understand
that Its good Intentions were appre
ciated, hut that we wanted to sail and
not come to anchor, 1 Improved the
opportunity by climbing Into the rig
ging and setting my moving picture
machine to work.
"We had lost so much ballast trying
to get away’ from the crowd that wo
ascended to a height of 9,000 feet."
They finally made a landing In
WoodcllfTe. N. J., after having bumped
over housetops, gru«t«d trees, crossed
Manhattan, and dipped Into the Hud
son river several times. Although the
balloonists were constantly In peril,
Mrs. Thomas declared the experience
was perfectly grand.
SENATE MAKES MERRY
WITH CRA WF WHEA 7LE Y
Now and then the sedate senate has a
little fan at the expense of some lock
less member, and when they "take off
the Md" they are worse than n lot of
youngsters on the run for the "old swim-
min* hole."
Thursday they got Senator Crawf Wheat-
ley on the gridiron, and proceeded to heat
it up until he fairly danced. For about
tea minutes they had such fun hectoring
tho genial member tnm the Thirteenth
that ho had finally to yell for mercy.
It cm me when Senator Wheatley nrow to
defend Ids measure f.*r Incorporating and
giving the. Audubon Society of Georgia cer-
and in tec ttrorous Birds
tor .Msohrook had Introduced his sul-stl-
tote, and mado n splendid argument for
Its passage.
•'Gentlemen,'* said Senator Wheatley. "I
want you to understand that my bill does
not seek to chnngo any existing law or
pn*»s any new men mire, ether than the
inero Incorporation of tho Audubon Society
doty?" nrtlcssly queried Senator Candler.
"in, sir."
"Then doesn't the senator know that wo
haven't any authority to Incorporate hero?"
That flustered the eloquent speaker con
aldernhly, hut he forged bravely abend,
nnd explained that It (lid give certain rights
and power to the society.
Then Senator Bunn heartlessly bowled
him "\er by reading that section which em
powers game wardens to search homes or
cold storngo plants for any excess of
game.
Dismayed by this sort of badgering, but
gallantly sticking to bis guns. Senator
Wheatley continued to defend his hill, while
ho was enfiladed with a running fire of
queries from all parts of the chamber.
Then he threw up hla hands and despair
ingly cried:
"1 want tho senators to understand that
this Isn’t ray old bill, anyway.”
And such a shout of laughtor and ap
plause went up In that chamber as has not
been heard there for a long while.
’Tte said nil 1 want to, and move that
wo voto now," he concluded, no he plumped
Wf TOW now, UV kUlHiu'ini, im
Into his chair, nnd wiped his moist brow.
Then they proceeded to* pass tho Also-
brook substitute.

BIG STRIKE IN PACKINGTOWN—JURGB PROVES FALSE TO UNION
Stock Yards andSurrounding
Territory Turned Into a
Veritable Hades.
CHAPTER XXVI (Continued).
“But—but''—stammered Jurgls. He
had somehow taken It for granted that
ht should go out with hi. union.
"Tho packer, need good men, and
heed them bad," continued the other,
and they'll treat a man right that
•tands by them. Why don’t you take
your chance and fix yourself?"
"But,” said Jurgls, "how could I ever

iou couldn’t be It, anyhow," said
Scully, abruptly.
"JJ'hy not?" asked Jurgls.
Bell, man!" cried the other. “Don't
you know you're a Republican? And
do j-uu think I'm always going to elect
Republicans? My brewer has found
out already how we served'him, and
there is the deuce to pay.”
Jurgls looked dumbfounded. He had
never thought of that aspect of It be-
,.t: "* c °uld be a Democrat," he said.
Tea," responded the other, “but not
fight away; a man can’t change hts
politics every day. And, besides, I

And Jurgls saw. Ho went hack to
the yards, and Into tho workroom. The
men hod left a long line of hogs In
various stages of preparation; and the
foreman wns directing the feeble efforts
of a score or two of clerks nnd ste
nographers and office boys to finish up
the job and get them Into the chilling
rooms. Jurgls went straight up to him
and announced: “I have come back to
work, Mr. Murphy.” •
“The boss' face lighted up. "Good
man I" he cried. "Come ahead I
'•Just a moment." said Jurgls, check
ing his enthusiasm. "I think I ought
to get a little more wages."
"Yes," replied the other, "of course.
What do you want?"
Jurgls had debated on the way. His
nerve almost failed him now, but he
clenched his hands. *'I think I ought
to have 21 a day," he said."
"All right," said ths other, promptly,
and before the day was out our friend
discovered that the clerks and stenog
raphers and office boys were getting $5
a day, and then he could have kicked
hlmseif.
On the first day of hts life as
striks-breaksr Jurgls quit work early,
and In a spirit of bravado he challenged
three men of his acquaintance to go
outside and get a drink. They ac
cepted, and went through ths big Hal-
sted street gate, where several police
men were watching, and also some
union pickets, scanning sharply those
who passed In and out. Jurgls and his
companions wsnt south on Hoisted
street, past the hotel, and then sud
denly half a dozen men started across
the street towsnl them and pr. ■ :
to argue with th-m concerning the er
ror of their ways. As the arguments
were not tfcksn tn the proper spirit
they went on to threats: suddenly one
of them Jerked oft the hat of one of
the four and flung It over the fence.
The man started after It, and then, as
a cry of “Scab!" was raised and a
dosen persons cams running out of sa
loons and doorways, a second man's
heart failed him and he followed. Jur-
gts and the fourth stayed long enough
to give themselves the satisfaction of
a' quick exchange of blows, and then
they, too, took to their heels and fled
back of the hotel and Into the yards
again.
Meantime, of course, policemen were
coming on a run, and as a crowd gath
ered, other police geft excited and sent
tn a riot call. Jurgls knew nothing of
this, but went back to “Packer*’ ave
nue," and In front of the “Central Time
Station" he saw one of his compan
ions, breathless and wild with exclts-
ment, narrating to an ever-growing
throng how the four had been attacked
and surrounded by a howling mob. and
had been nearly torn to pieces. While
he stood listening, smiling cynically,
several dapper young men stood by
with note books In their hands, and It
was not more than two hours later that
Jurgls saw newsboys running about

VIOLENCE IN THE STOCK YARDS!
8TRIKE-BREAKER3 SUR
ROUNDED BY FRENZIED
MOBI
If he had been able to buy all of the
newspapers of the United States the
next morning he might have discovered
that his beer-hunting exploit was bo-
Ing perused by some two-score millions
of people, and had served ns a text
for editorials tn half the staid and
solemn business men's newspapers In
the land.
Jurgls wae to see more of this
tlmo passed. For tho moment, his work
being over, he was free to ride Into
the city, by a railroad direct from the
yards, or elso to Spend the night In n
room where cots had been laid In rows.
He chose the latter, but to his regret,
for all night long gangs of strike
breakers kept arriving. As very few of
the better class of workingmen could
be got for such work, these specimens
of the new American hero contained
an assortment of the criminals and
thugs of the city, besides negroes and
the lowest foreigner*—Greeks, Rouma
nians, Sicilians and Slovaks. They had
been attracted more by the prospect of
disorder than by the big wages; nnd
they node the night hideous with slng-
Ing and carousing, anil only went to
sleep when the time came for them to
get up to go to work.
In the' morning, before Jurgls had
finished hie breakfast, W' nqw
ordered him to one of Um superintend
ents, who questioned him as to hla es-
t- :■ ■ ■ tn 'li- ""'li "t tin- killing
room. His heart began to thump with
excitement, for he divined Instantly
that his hour had come—that he was
to be a boss!
Borne of the foremen were union
members, and many who were not had
gone out with the men. It was In the
killing department that the packers had
been left most In the lurch, and pre
cisely here (hat they could least afford
It; tin- mm..king and canning and salt
ing of meat might wait, and all ths
by-products might be wasted—but
freak nisate must be had, or the res
taurants and hotels and brownetooe
houses would feel the pinch and then
"public opinion" would tako a startling
An opportunity such as this would
not come twice to a man; and Jurgls
seized It. Yes, he knew tho work, the
whole of It, and he could teach It to
others. But If h* took the Job and
gave satisfaction he would expect to
keep It—they would not turn him off
at the end of the strike? To which
the superintendent replied that he
might trust Durham's for that—they
proposed to teach these unions a les
son, and most of all those foremen who
had gone back on them. Jurgls would
receive 12 a day during the strike and
212 a week after It was settled.
So our friend got a pair of “slaughter
pen" boots and "Jeans," and flung him
self at the task. It was a weird sight,
there on the killing beds—a throng of
stupid black negroes and foreigners
who could not understand a word that
was sold to them, mixed with pale-
faced. hollow-chested bookkeepers and
clerks, half fainting from the tropical
heat and the sickening stench of the
fresh blood—and all struggling to dress
a dozen or two of cattle In the same
place where twenty-four hours ngo, ths
old kllllng-gmng had been speeding with
their marvelous precision, turning out
200 carcasses evenr hour.
The negroes and the “toughs” from
evory few minutes some of them would
feel obliged to retire and rocuperato. In
a couple of days Durham A Company
had electric fans up to cool off tho
rooms for them, nnd even couches for
■them to rest on; and menntlmo they
could go out and find a shady corner
ami mil.' u "snooze." nnd as there van
no Jilurc fr anv one In particular, and
no cyst.-m. It might I... hours before
their boss discovered them. As for tho
poor office employees, they did tlielr
best, moved to it by terror; thirty of
them had been “fired” In a bunch that
first morning f"r refusing to serve, be
sides a number of women clerks nnd
type"liters who had declined to act
as waitresses.
It wns such a force as this that Jur-
glB had to organize. He did Ills best,
■lying here and there, placing thorn In
rows nnd showing them the tricks; ho
had never given an order In his llfo
before, but ha had taken enough of
them to know, and he soon fell Into
the spirit of It, and roared and stormed
like any nld stager. Ho had not tho
most tractablo pupils, however. “Hen
hyar, boss,” a big black “buck" would
begin, “ef you doan like de way All
does dls Job you kin git somebody else
to do It." Then a crowd would gather
and listen, muttering threats. After
the first meal nearly all the steel knives
had been missing, and now overy negro
had one, ground to a flno point, hidden
In hie boots,
■ Thtrs was no bringing order out of
such a chaos, Jurgls soon discovered;
and he fell In with the spirit of the
thing—there was no reason why hs
shriuld wear himself out with shouting.
If hides and guts were clashed and
rendered useless there was no way of
treeing It to any one; and If a man
lay oft and forgot to come back there
was nothing to be gained by soeklng
him, for all the rest would quit In tho
meantime. Everything went during the
strike, and the packers paid. IPtforo
long Jurgls found that the custom of
resting had suggested to some alert
mlnde the poeelhlllty of registering at
more than one place and earning more
than one 25 a day. When he caught n
man at tble he "fired" him, but It
chanced to be In a quiet corner, and
the man tendered him a 210 bill and a
wink, and he took them. Of course be
fore long thla custom spread, and Jur
gla was soon making quite a good In
come from It.
In the face of handicaps such as
these the packers counted themselves
lucky If they could kill off the cattle
that had been crippled In transit and
the hogs that had developed disease.
Frequently, In the course of n two or
three day*' trip* In hot weather nnd
without water, some hog would develop
cholera and die; and the rest would at
tack him before he had ceased kicking,
and when the car was opened there
would be nothing of him left but tho
bones. If all the hogs In this carload
were not killed at once they would coon
special ratoe from the railroads, and all
traffic ordered out of tho way. Many
towns and cities were taking udvantago
"f the chilli' ■' In clear Hilt tlielr Jlllll
and workhouses—In Detroit the magis
trates wduld release every man whf
agreed to leave town within twenty-
four hours, and ngents of tho packers
were In tho court room to ship them
right And menntlmo trelntoads o'
supplies were coming In f"r tli-lc nc
commodatlon. Including beer nnd whls-
ky, HI! It.Ml Ihcv might 111.t lie tin.I.ti-.l
to go outside. They hired thirty young
girls In Cincinnati to “pack fruit"
and when they arrived they put them
at work canning corned beef, end put
rots for them to sleep In a public hall-
way, through « hi. h tlm inch p;io~.-iI.
As the gangs came In day and night,
under tho escort of squads of police.
thajr stowed them away In unused
workrooms and storerooms, and In the
cur she.Is, ciir.vilii] il.iHely t..«.-tlicr

■ 1.1 v u .nil.I U«C a me I....in f .1 cut-
lug im.I Hic.-ping. ..mi at night the men
would put their cots upon tho tables,
to keep away from tho swarms of rats.
But with all thslr best effort* ths
packer* were demoralized. Ninety
per cent Of the men had wnlked out;
and they faced tin. m-ti ..r . wapn|B>

They made nil offer 111 unbuilt III"

and at the aad of tan days the unional
accepted It, and the strike was called
off. It was agreed that all the men
were to be re-employed within forty-
five days, and that there was to be
"no discrimination against union man/'
This was an anxious time for Jurgle.
If the men were taken back “without
discrimination,” ht would lose bis pres
ent place. He sought out ths superin
tendent, who smiled grimly and bade
him ."wait and eee." Durham’s strike-1
breakers were few of them leaving.

there would be nothing

with cattle that were gored and dying
or were limping with broken bones
stuck through their flesh—they must
be killed, even If tho brokers and buy
ers and superintendents hod to take off
thotr • oats and help drive and cut and
skin thsm. And meantime, agents of
the packers were gathering gangs of
nsgroes in ths country districts of tbs
far South, promising them 25 a day

mention there was a strike; already
carloads of them were on the way, with
Whether or not the "settlement” was
simply a trick of the packers to gain
Itlme, or whether they really expected
to break the atrikp and cripple the
unions by the plan, cannot be said;
hut that night there went out from
Itho office of Durham A Co. a telegram
t., nit tin. Mg packing eentera, “Bm-
ploy no union leaders." And In the
morning, when the twenty thousand
men thronged Into tho yards, with their
orklng clothes, Jur.
dinner palls and w.
gls stood near the door of tho hog-
trimming room, whore he had worked
before tn* strike, and saw'a throng of
eager men, with a score or two of po
licemen watching them; and he saw a

men up near the head of the line who
were never picked—they being union
stewards and delsgatea, and the men
Jurgls had heard making speeches at
the meeting*. Each tlm*. of course,
there were louder murmuring* and an
grier looks. Over where the cattle
butchers ware waiting Jurgls heard
shouts and aaw a crowd, and he hur
ried there. On* big Butcher, who was
president of the Packing Trades Coun
cil, had been passed over five time*,
and tha men were wild with rage; they
had appointed a committee of three to
go In and so* the superintendent, and
the committee had made tbrea attempts
—and sacb time the police had clubbed
them back from the door. Then there
were yells and hoots, continuing until
at last tha superintendent came to tb*
door. "Wo all go back or nono of us
do!” rill’ll a hull'll.’.I v.>11■*■ m And the
other shook his fist at them, and
shouted, “You went out of here Him

Thon suddenly the big butcher presi

yellod: “It's off, boys. We'll all nf us
quit again!" And so the rattln butch-

wholo of Packlngtown was on strlko
again, and beside Itself with fury.
Thor* was qulto a different ton* In
Ppcktngtown after this—the place was
a seething caldron of passion, and the
“scab" who ventured Into It fared bad
ly. There were on* or two of la
Incidents each day, ths newspapers de
tailing thorn, and always blaming them
upon tho unions. Yet ton years before,
when there were no unions In Packing-
town, there was a strike, anil nntlnnal
troops had to bo rolli'd, and there were
pitched battles fought at night, by the
light of biasing freight trains. Pack-
Itigtown was always a center of vio
lence; In "Whisky Point," where there
were a hundred saloon* and ons glue
factory, tlftre was always fighting, and
always more of It In hot woathsr. Any

Meantime the packers had set them
selves definitely to the tssk of making a
new labor force. A thousand or two
of strikebreakers were brought In every
night, and distributed among tho vsrt-
oil. plants Hun it- of them were expe-s
rlenceil workers—butchers, salesmen
slut managers from the paekers*
branch slot es, and a few union men who
