"We were going to stick up a

When searched at the station a .32

in the possession of Beers. Accord

McCormack said the trio hitd gone
out Thursday night to "pull off" a

on the Sixteenth street viaduct, they

Recalls Days When
Stock Yards Land '
Was Brush Covered
' W. S. Porter of Knox county was
a visitor at the South Side stock
yards Friday wijli a load of cows,
and while waiting for. his check for
the shipment at a local commission
house told of some interesting inci
dents of South Omaha 50 years ago.
"When I look over this large and
magnificent stock market my .mind
goes back' to half a century before
arid reminds me of the time I drove
over the very land on which tue
rtock. yards are located. Right after
.-the-civil war 1 came west and went
to work on a farm down in Cass
:ounty, remaining there three years,
fter which I conducted a transfer
Jmsir-eSs in Omaha, operating be-
' Uveen there and Council Bluffs.
"I remember going ovor the terri
tory on which the stock yards are
located, and it was not considered
even good farming land, being rough
and covered with brush. The coun
try 'south of here, in Sarpy and Cass
counties, was the first to be settled
. on by farmers, as it seemed lo be thcr
most desirable for farming purposes
in this section." .

Article XI.
This article is an interlude but
like any well-regulated interlgde, the
play cannot somehow go on without
it. ( :
I should like to step tout for a mo
ment before the next act like sonic
prologue and with my thumb point
ed backward at the obscured actors
upon the stage (who take themselves
so seriously) take you, the audience,
into my confidence for a moment.
I have already exhibited as best
I could, some of the forces at work
in the present industrial unrest, some
of the leadership, some of the more
evident and general devices of re
form. The plot and the protagon.
ists, the conflict and the crisis, are
more or less made clear. Something
of the high theme, the motif, the
spirit, is yet wanting.
I can perhaps best indicate one
part at least of the theme or the
motif by describing my own first
vivid impressions upon visiting a
steel town.
I went down to the city of Gary
in a snowstorm. A cold raw wind
was blowing off the Illinois prairies.
The train was cold. The city I haa
just left behind was cold. It Was
cold and darkened at night. Some
of the factories were closed; the
stores, although at the height of the
holiday rush, were open only part ol
the time, I was going from a city
suffering from a coal strike to a city
suffering from a steel strike.
It is an hour's- journey from Chi
cago to Gary. Gary is one of the
magic cities of the world. It has to
day about 80,000 people, and broad,
well-paved streets and fine public
buildinas and a school system with
an international reputation. No steel
mills in the worl equal in modern
improvements those at Gary. And
yet 13 years ago, as I have al
ready said, the place where Gary
now stands was a desolate waste of
sand .dunes. Wild ducks, flying in
from the lake settled in the sluggish
inlet and were undisturbed; ifoxes
skulked among the scrubby oak
trees. One of the great steel mas
ters, coming to look over the site
of the future city, was lost among
the dunes near the present location
of the Caniegie library.
City Presents Industry.
It was a big, free, bold thing to do
the building' of Gary. It was well
and truly dreamed. This was the one
spot, here at the foot of Lake Michi
gan, where the ore from northern
ranges, floated down in huge, tubby
cargo boats, could most easily and
cheaply meet the coal from south
ern mines and to be fused into steel.
The mills could take advantage in
distributing their product, of the
net-work of railroads centering
around Ihe southern loop of the
lakes. They had near at hand the
vast human reservoir of Chicago
upon which to draw for their labor.
How well thought out; how won
derfully achieved! '
I . went to Gary, not alone be
cause it was one of the chief cen
ters of the steel strike, but because
among all the cities in America the
entire industrial scene nowhere
more vividly presents itself.
Consider what an opportunity this
magic city offers the observer. For
here industry has had a clear field;
no limiting traditions; no restric
tions. Here, if anywhere, Ameri
can industry is to be seen exactly
as it most desires to be 'seen. It
has had scope and space, unlimited
money, time, power every ingredi
ent for miracle-making to give
form and fashion to its utmost
dream. Here we have it. then at
Gary the life-like portrait of Amer
ican industry, delineated by s own
bold hands.
Let us look at it narrowlv. for
like any great masterpiece it is as
enlightening for what it cunningly
conceals as for what it easily dis
closes.. There is character here, cer
tainly a kind of rtark power, a kind
of bold originality. "Huge and
alert, irascible yet strong." Is it
grim? Well, Vulcan is toiling at
his blazing forges. Is it benevo
lent? Is it cruel? And is there not
something strange about the eyes?
Is it so nakedly American that we
should hesitate to draw the curtain
md exhibit it to a visit or from
Mars.
City Dominated by Mill.
I had confidently expected when I
went to Gary to be chiefly interested
in the men and women tlnere; the
workers, the bosses, the observing
newspaper editors, the merchants,
lawyers, teachers; but curiously I
was not. I went, indeed, first of all
to see the men of the town, many of
mem not with the passions engen
dered by the strike. I saw the un
cxpectedly comfortable homes of
some of the workers, and the won
derful schools, and the library, and
the oostoffice and the Y. M. C. A.
building. I sat witlf the strikers in
the ' dingy coop they called head
quarters. I talked witKj mill officials
and watched with some wonder. the
soldiers who were protecting the
town, but everywhere I went, during
every moment of the time, the
center of the scene was occupied
with the stupendous spectacle of the
mill. Its tall, sum stacks, plumed
with -.strange-colored smoke, its
broad-shouldered blast furnaces, its
portly ore piles, dominate the town.
At night the flare of its converters
can escape the sound of: its brazen
voices.
When I had been inside the orih
cipal mill and had seen with my own
eves . those gigantic processes, had
watched the blaziuc white metal
pouring from the Bessemer convert
ers, .had looked through smoked
glasses into the boiling hell of. the
cp.en. hearth furnaces, had seen the
steel ingot lifted by iron fingers
from the heatimz ovens and rolled
with, easy power into steel rails
when I saw all this, the impression
sienal the very heavens: and no one
of dominance was immeasurably in
creased..
A As I saw it thai stormy December
", ''''' To Heal a. Cough
Take. HAYES' HEALNQ HONE, jje.
on Both
day, just at dusk, it seemed a kind
of titan, dwarfing all the human iife
around and within it. So few men
were to bo 'seen, or they were so in
significant, so dim, compared with
the' stupendous machinery, that one
barely noticed them. The mechan
ism appeared, somehow, to be oper
ating itself. I can scarcely describe
it; but there it was, a kind of mon
ster squatting on the shore .of the
gray lake. A tireless monster that
never sleeps! Regardless of dispu
tatious workers and capitalists and
economists and politicians it 1 toils
day and night, summer and winter,
Sundays, Christmas', the Fourth of
July. Its appetite is unappeasable.
Thousands of. men, digging for their
lives in the iron ranges of Minne
sota and thousands more- in the coal
fields and quarries of Indiana and
Illinois can scarcely keep it satisfied.
It drinks the entire flow of a river,
h requires 10,000 men at Gary alone,
speaking a Label of 20 languages, to
serve the intimate daily necessities
of a single mill. J
Implacable Power of Machinery.
' Each time I visited Gary these
impressions deepened. More- anil
more I seemed to feel the implacable
power ot the mechanism there by
the lake, and, in comparison, the in
significance of the human element in
the process. One evening, as 1 was
coins out alone the high embank
ment from which one can plimpse
the whole enormous aggregations of
flaming chimneys and spreading
mills, it came to me, that, in its es
sence, mankind was facing the prob
lem as to whether machinery should
dominate men; or men machinery.
Were men to be merely cogs or serv
ants of stupendous insensate me
chanisms cr were they to stand out
as masters, using easily and freely
and relatively the tools theyi had
made? Was the "genius of mech
anism," as Carlyle expressed it
long ago, to sit forever "like an in
cubus upon the soul of man," or was
the soul of man to free itself and
tommand the genius of mechanism?
. I think many an observer, visiting
these great industrial towns, win
have the same question vividly pre
se.itedWo him; and he will begin
straightway to try with all his
power to sfee whether or not the1
soul of man is really dominated by
the mechanism and why it is and
how it can come free and triumph
ant in the struggle. For this is the
true theme, the motif of this vast
drama.
Yet the more I looked at Gary
and its mills and its men, the more
I thought about them, the more
amazing, after - all, it seemed that
these little insects of human beings
should be - there at all, that, they
should have been able, somehow, to
.create such a stupendous mechan
ism, such a titanic iron slave, and
that having created it they should!

The Brains of the Machine.
I went into the immense room.
larger than any cathedral, where the
ncots were being rolled. All the
machinery was powerfully at work
and no other mechanism created
by men gives ,a sublimer impression
of resistless power than a modern
rolling mill but nowhere at first
did 1 see a single man. Not one!
It was almost uncanny! Presently I
looked up. There, iiva partly glassed
cage higli on the wall sat the worker
among his levers and his buttons;
the cerebellum. of the creature! Af
ter all, it was managed. by men!
A moment later it came to me
with a flash exactly what the trouble
was. - Yes, men actually controlled
the monster, but thev auarrelea with
another about it; there was'a divided
spirit; there was no common pur
pose! They were crippling 'the will
ing slave of them all, who was toil
ing to give them bread and clothing
and shelter and whatever of books,
education and culture they might be
able to acquire. There were actually
soldiers patrolling the streets and
guarding the mills to prevent them
trom killing one another or from
injuring - the monster. They had
built a marvelous machine and
were threatening to break it up be
cause they couldn t agree about
managing itl

Nor. was this crlppline confined

ment that on the average me manu
facturing capacity of this country
was not more than 25 per cent of
what it ought to be if the produc
tive machiuery were properly man
aged. A part of this was due to in
efficiency of the management; and
part due to the slackness and want
of interest of the workers. Think
of it! A slave willing to do four
times as much work as it is doing
but crippled by confusion in the con
trol! Some'other extraordinary features
of this situation at Gary flew to my
mind. In the back streets of the
town unhappy groups of the most
ignorant of the workers were meet
ing men. who cannot speak Eng
lishmen that no one pays any at
tentidn to fo long as they come to
work every day. No mill in the
country has a -higher reputation for
neatness and good order than the
great mill at Gary. Gleason, the su
perintendent there, hates dirt, waste,
rubbish, and-vyijl not abide them.
He thinks them unsightly and dan
gerous. And yet thejHeave this hu
man wastage neglected in dark cor
ners of the town and wonder that it

Something is wrong in the mills.
It is in the very atmosphere. Some
of them perhaps have read pam
phlets dealing with, the European
revolutionary movements. Every-.1
thing is there so clearly explained!
Nothing is more, beguiling to ig
norant men .than a patent remedy,
whether for body or mind. They
want a quick cure, and take it in
stantly., In the early days of the
strike some of these men quite
frankly, advocated the immediate
seizure of the mills by themselves
the workers! t
No One Explained.
No one hr.s explained anything to
thtm, or tried to; no one, so far as
thoy know, has tried to remedy the
conditions under which they feel
that they suffer.
Nine hundred, miles away from all
this in New York sit the command
ing men of the steel industry. They
have given the workers of the town
much good housing and cheap; they
have provided safety appliances at
the mills really in a wonderful way
they have instituted a pension
fund, and thev invite the workers
to invest their savings in the stock
of the corporation on a helpful and
generous basis.

Twenty-five years ago I saw men

homes of the town of Pullman dur
ing the great strike there. Mr. Pull
man had done everything (he
thought) tor his workers; and he

tragedy of their ingratitude.
Well,, those things do not prevent
strikes, and never have; for they do
not touch the heart of the trouble.

Fortune In Pearls
Found In Weed Patch;
Believed Thief's Loot
A beautiful string of genuine
pearls, 15 inches long, is the object
of investigation by detectives. The
gems were found last Saturday in
a patch of weeds west of the Y. M.
C. A. building by P. W. Paddock:
of Florence. When Mr. Paddock k
learned from a jeweler the pearls
were genuine, he reported the find
to detectives. Efforts are being
made to lpcate the rightful owner of
the set.
Detectives are of the opinion the
pearls were lost by a thief who had
dropped them in making a hurried
getaway through the vacant lot
where they were found.
The pearls are said to be worth
several thousand dollars.
