will go through the beat section of the
country In the state, touching the towns
of Pavo, Adlai, Hemstead, Qullp and
ending at Sparks, where connection
will be made with the Georgia, South

surveyed for a line Into Florida which
will ultimately reach the gulf. This,
with the other railroads, will make
Thomasvllle the center of a network of
railroads that will have through con
nections with the gulf, Atlantic and all
Inland points.

New York. July 20.—Dr. Julian
Thomas, formerly of Atlanta, Ga.. to
day In telling <>f the balloon trip he
made with his wifo and Roy Knaben-
shue yesterday from the gas works in
the Bronx, satd:
"Our descent into One Hundred and
Sixth street was only an undesirable
Incident. We would never have come
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, but that we wanted to sail and
not come to anchor, I Improved the
opportunity by climbing into the rig
ging anti setting my moving picture
machine to work.
'We had lost so much ballast trying
to get away from the crowd that we
ascended to a height of 9,000 feet."
They finally made a landing
Woodellffe, N. J., after having bumped
over housetop#, grased 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 7 LE Y
Now and then the sedate senate has a
little fan at tho expense of some luck
iest member, and when they "take off
the Ud" they are worse than a lot of
youngsters on th# run for tho "old swim-
min' bole."
Thursday they got Senator Crtwf Wheat*
ley on the gridiron, and proceeded to boat
It up until he fairly danced. For about
ten minutes they had such fun hectoring
the genial member from the Thirteenth
that he had finally to yell for mercy.
It come when Senntor Wheatley nroso to
defend his measure for Incorporating and
glvlug the Audubon Society of Gcorgtn cer
tain powers to regulate tin- "laying of game
and insectivorous birds In this state. Sena
tor Alsobrook had Introduced bis substi
tute, and made a splendid argument for
'(Fentlomon," said Senator Wheatley, "l
want you to understand that my bill does
not seek to change any existing law or
pass any new measure, other thnn tho
mere Incorporation of tho Audubon Society
of Georgia."
"Did 1 understand the senator to say
that this bill simply incorporates the so
ciety?" artlessly queried Senator Candler.
“Then doesn't the senator know that we
haven’t any authority to Incorporate h**re?’*
That flustered the eloquent speaker con
siderably, hut he forged bravely ahead,
aiul explained that It did giro certain rights
and power to tho society.
Then Senator Duuu heartlessly bowled
hliu over by reading that sectlou which em*
Dowers gauio wardens to search homes or
cold storage plants for any excess of
game.
1 Hsiunyeti liy this sort of badgering, but
gallantly sticking to his guns. Senator
Wheatley continued to defend hla bill, while
he was enfiladed with a running fire of
queries from all parts of the chamber.
Then he threw up his bauds and despair
ingly cried:
*'1 want the senators to understand that
this Isn’t my old bill, anyway."
And such a shout of laughter and ap
plause went up in that chnninor ns has not
been heard there for a long while.
*Tve said all 1 want to, and more that
we voto now," ho concluded, ns he plumped
Into his chair, aud wiped his moist brow.
Then they proceeded to pass the Also
brook substitute.

BIG STRIKE IN PACKINGT0WN--JURGIS PROVES FALSE TO UNION
[Stock Yards and Surrounding
Territory Turned Into a
Veritable Hades.
CHAPTER XXVI (Continued).
'Hut— but”—stammered Jurgts. H«
IMd somehow taken It for granted that
IMshouid go out with his*union.
I The packers need good men, nnd
I Wed them bad,” continued the other.
I *nd they'll treat a man right that

Jonhs looked dumbfounded. He had

"I could be a Democrat," he eaid.
responded the other, "but not

And Jurgls saw. He went back to
the yards, and Into the workroom. The
men had left a long line of hogs In
various stages of preparation; and the
foreman was directing the foeble efforts
of a score ar two of clerks and 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!” ho cried. "Come ahead!”
"Just a moment," said Jurgls, check
ing his enthusiasm. ”1 think I ought
to get a little more wages.”
“Yu." 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. "1 think 1 ought
to have $2 a day,” he said.”
“All right," said the other, promptly,
and before the day was out our friend
discovered that tho clerks and stenog
raphers snd office boys were getting $5
a day, and then he could have kicked
himself.
On the first day of his life as a
strike-breaker Jurgls quit work early,
and In a spirit of bravado he challenged
threo men of his acquaintance to go
outside and get a drink. They ac
cepted, end went through the 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 went south on Halsted
street, pnst the hotel, and then sud
denly half a dozen men started across
the street toward them and proceeded
to arguo with them concerning 'to- <u -
ror of their ways. As the arguments
were not taken In the proper spirit
they went on to threats; suddenly one
of them Jerked off the hat of one of
the four and flung It over the fence.
The man surfed after It, and then, as
a cry of "Scab!” was raised and a
dozen persons came running out of sa
loon* and doorways, a second man's
heart failed him and he followed. Jur
gls 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 tbe hotel and into the yards
again.
Meantime, of course, policemen were
coming an a run, and as a crowd gath
ered, other police got excited and sent
ln a riot call. Jurgls knew nothing of
this, but went back to “Packers’ ave
nue,” and In front of the "Central Time
SUtlon” ho saw one of his compan
ions, breathlerf and wild with excite
ment, narrating to an ever-growing
throng how the four had been attacked
and surrounded by a howling mob. and
bad been nearly torn to pieces. While
he stood listening, smiling cynically,
serersl 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
with armfuls of newspapers, printed In ths Levee did not want to work, and
red and black letters six Inches high:
VIOLENCE IN THE STOCK YARDSI
8TRIKE-BREAKER8 8UR
ROUNDED BY FRENZIED
MOBI
If he had been able to buy all of the
newspapers of tho United States tho
next morning he might have discovered
that his boer-huntlng exploit was bo-
ing perused by somo two-score millions
of people, and had screed as a text
for editorials ln half the staid and
solemn business men’s newspapers In
tho land. V
Jurgls was to see more of this os
time passed. For the moment, his work
being over, he was free to ride Into
the illy, l,r a railroad direct from tl„.
yards, or else to spend the night In a
room where cots had been laid In rows.
He chose tho 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 nsw American hero contained
an assortment of the criminals and
thugs of the city, beside* negroes nnd
ths lowest foreigners Oresks-Bosma-
nlnns, Sicilians and Slovaks. They ha/1
been attracted more by the prospect of
dlnirdcr than by the iilg wages; nnd
they made ths night hideous with sing
ing and carousing, and only went to
sleep when the time came for them to
get up to go to work.
In the morning, before Jurgls had
finished his breakfast, "Pat” Murphy
ordered him to ono of the superintend
ents, who questioned him as to his ex
perience In the work of the killing
room. Ill* heart begun to thump with
em Itement, hr If divined Instantly
that his hour had come—that he was
to be a boss!
Some of the foremen were union
wwihsrs. and many who ware not had
gono out with the men. It was In the
killing department that the packers had
been left most In the lurch, and pre
cisely here that they could least afford
It; the smoking ana canning and salt
ing of meat might wait, and all tho
by-products might be wasted—but
fresh meats must bo had, or the res
taurants and hotels and brownstone
houses would feel the pinch and then
"public opinion” would take a startling
turn. ’
An opportunity such as this would
not come twice to a man; and Jurgls
seized It. Yes, he knew the work, the
whole of It, and he could teach It to
others. But if he 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 i( a day during the strike and
$26 a week after It was settled.
So our friend got a pair of "slaughter
pen” boots and "Joans," 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 said 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 ago, the !
old killing-gang had been speeding with
their marvelous precision, turning out
400 carcassed every Imur.
The negroes and the "toughs” from
every few minutes some of thorn would
feel Obliged to retire and recuperate. Ill
a couple of days Durham & Company
lmd electrlo fans up to cool off ths
rooms for them, and even couches for
them to rest on: and meantime they
could go out and find a shady corner
and take a “snooze," and as tharo was
no place for any one In particular, and
no system. It might be hours bofore
their boss discovered thorn. As for the
poor office employees, they did thslr
best, moved to It by terror; thirty of
them had been “fired” In a bunch that
first morning for refusing to serve, be
sides a number of women clerks and
typewriters who had declined to aot
ob waitresses.
It was such a force as this that Jur
gls had to organize. He did his best,
flying here and there, placing them In
rows and showing them the tricks; ho
had nevor given an order In Ills life
before, but he had taken enough of
them to know, and ho soon fell Into
the spirit of It, and roared and stormed
llko any old Btager. He had not tho
most tractable pupils, however. "Seo
hyar, buss,” a big black "buck” would
begin, “ef you doan llko do way Ah
docs qls job you kin git somebody elso
to do It.” Then a crowd would gather
and listen, muttering threats. After
tho flrat meal nearly all tho steol knives
had been missing, nod now every negro
had one, ground to a fine point, hidden
In his boots.
There was no bringing order out of
such a chaos, Jurgls soon discovered;
nnd ha fell In with the spirit of the
thing—there was no reason why ho
should wear himself out with shouting.
If hides and guts were slashed and
rendered useless there was no way of
tracing It to any one; and If a man
lay off and forgot to como back there
wns nothing to be gained by seeking
him, for all the rest would quit fa the
meantime. Everything went during tho
.-trike, and th.- pickers paid, liqforu
long Jurgls found that tne custom of
resting had suggested to some alert
minds the possibility of registering at
more than one place and earning more
than one tr, ii day. When he caught a
man at this ho “fired" him, but It
chanced to be In a quiet corner, and
the man tendered him a $10 bill and a
wink, and he took them. Of course be
fore long this custom spread, and Jur
gls was soon making quite a good In
come from It.
In the face of handicaps such as
these t tie pll'kers ••Minted 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 iwn M a two or
three days’ trip. In hot weather and
without water, eome 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 b? nothing of him left but tho
bones. If all the hogs In this cnrload
were not killed at once they would soon
be down with the dread disease, and
there would be nothing to do but to
make them Into lard. It was the same
with cattle that were gored and dying
or were limping with broken bones
stuek through their flesh—they must
be killed, even If the broken and buy
ers and superintendents had to take off
their coats and help drive and cut and
skin them. And meantime, agents of
the packers were gathering gangs of
negroes In the country districts of the
far South, promising them 16 a day
and board, and being careful not to
mention there was a strike: already
carloads of them were on the way, with
epeclal rates from the railroads, and all
traffic ordered out of the way. Many
towns and cities were taking advantage
"f tbe chum o to dear nut tbolr Jails
and workhouses—In Dotrolt the magis
trates would release every man who
agreed to leave town within twenty-
four hours, and agents of the packers
were In the court room to ship thorn
right. And moantlmo trainloads of
supplies were coming In r,u lb,Ur ac
commodation, Including boor and whis
ky. so that they might not be tempted
to go outside. They hired thirty young
girls In Cincinnati to "pack fruit,”
nnd when they arrived they put them
at work canning corned best and put
rots for them to sleep ln a public hall
way, through Which tho mon passed,
As the gangs rams In day and night,
under the escort of squads of police,
thoy stowed them away In unused
workrooms nnd storerooms, and In ths
car sheds, crowded so closely together
that th* cots touched. In some places
they would use the samo room for eat
ing and sleeping, and at night the men
would put their cots upon tho tables,
to keop away from the swarms of rats.
But with all their best efforts ths
packers were demoralised. Ninety
per rent of ths men hod walked out;
and they faced tho task of complete
ly remaking their labor force and with
the prlco of meat up 30 per cent, and
the public clamoring for a settlement.
They made an offer to submit tho
tvh111e Ijuestp.il nt Issue t„ arbitration;
and at the end of ten days tho unions
accepted It, and tho strike was called
off. It was agreed that all tho mon
were to bo re-employed within forty
five dnys, and that there was to be
"no discrimination against union man. 1 '
This was an anxious time for Jurgts.
If ths men were taken back "without
discrimination,” hs would loao his pres
ent place. He sought out the superin
tendent, who smiled grimly and bade
him "wait and see,” Iiurham'a strike
breaker* were few of them leaving.
Whether or not the ‘'settlement" was
simply a trick of the packers to gain
time, or whether they really expected
to break tho strlkp and cripple the
unions by the plan, cannot be said;
but that night there went out from
the office of Durham & Co. a telegram
to all the big packing cantors, "Km
ploy no union leaders." And In tbe
morning, when the twenty thousand
men thronged Into the yards, with their
dinner palls and working clothes, Jur
gls stood near tho door of the fiog-
trtmmlng room, where hs had worked
before the strike, snd saw a throng of
eager mon, with a score or two of po-
llcemen watching, them: and li" eaw .•
superintendent come out and walk
down the line, and pick out man after
man that pleased Idm; and oae after
another came, and ih.ro were e.,tne
men up near the head of the IlM who
were never plrked—they being union
stewards and delegates, and the men
Jurgls had heard making speeches at
the meetings. Each time, of course,
there were louder murmuring* and an
grier looks. Over where the cattle
butchers were waiting Jurgts heard
shouts and saw a crowd, and he hur
ried there. One big butcher, who was
president of the Packing Trades Coun
cil, had been passed over five times,
