Steel King Is Greeted by
John Hudson With "By
Gum, How Are You?"
PROMINENT MEN IN PARTY
Personal Side of President ot Beth'
lelieni Steel Corporation Pic
tured; Itinerary Left to Colored
"Joe" Kay, in Service Long.
"Where is Charlie Schwab?" asked a
red-facod man of middle age, aa he
forced his way through the big, iron
gates at the Union station yesterday
morning.
"Do you mean Mr. Schwab, the steel
king?" politely inquired a uniformed
attendant.
'"Steel kinj?. r.awthin'," protested the
red-faced man. -waving the attendant
aside. He wore a blue serge suit of
tore clothes, a boiled shirt and a stiff
white collar, which evidently did not
et well on his neck. He did not belie
nor deny the fact that he was from the
rural districts.
Private Car Finally Reached.
He hastened along under the um
brella sheds, past a long row of dark
Hrrecn cars, each of which bore the for
bidding word "private" on the door.
He finally reached the very end car,
which was labeled "Loretto." He
clambered up the steps and repeated
his question:
"Where is Charlie Schwab?"
"Do you want to see Mr. Schwab?"
came from a colored porter in white
uniform.
"No, I want to see Charlie."
Vlnltor Styled 'Raaoal.'
The colored man disappeared. Pres
ently he returned, followed by a sleek,
well-dressed, thick-chested man of me
dium height and build, with a. libera
sprinkling of gray in his hair, a pleas
ant smile on his face and a cheery, confidence-compelling
twinkle in his eye.
"By gum, how are you, Charlie?"
shouted the stranger.
"Well, if this isn't a sight for sore
ryes. Johnnie Hudson, you old ras
cal," Bhouted by the private-car
dweller.
The two met each other in a veritable
embrace. The one, of course, waa
Charles M. Schwab, president of the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation. some
times known as "the steel king of
America," whose salary of Jl.000.Ono a
year as head o the United States Steel
Trust startled the industrial world a
few years ago, and the other was a
' friend of his youth John Hudson, now
a contented farmer of Newberg, or.
Hudson Bound to See Him.
"I jut heard that you was goln' to
be in Portland, so 1 made up my mind
to see you." explained Hudson. "My
wife told me that now that you've got
all that money, you wouldn't even look
at me, but "
"The idea, such talk." protested Mr.
Schwab. "How could I ever forget
you?" and with that he seized the New
berg farmer with a regular hear hug.
"Say. Johnnie," gasped the steel
man. suddenly, as if ho had Just
thought of something, "have you had
breakfast yet?"
"Now. I don't want to be lying to
you, Charlie, but 1 haven't."
Farmer Friend Is Dined.
"Well, then, you come right in here
with me," and the steel man led his
farmer friend into the dining compart
ment of the private car, which is re
puted to be the finest and most luxur
iously finished pieec of railroad equip
ment in the world.
When the two reached the dining
room, exclamations broke out anew.
It was Mrs. Schwab greeting their vls-
And where are the wife and kids?"
demauded she. '
"Sure, and I left them at home, he
exclaimed, somewhat humiliated.
"What do vou mean. Johnnie, doming
Tiere to see us and not bringing them
along? How are they, anyway?" she
asked all in the same breath.
"Wife and Kids" O. 1C- v
The wife and kids were all right,
and Johnnie was hungry. So the three
of them sat down to a late breakfast
that continued until long after all the
other members of Mr. Schwab's special
train party had departed on sight-seeing
tours about the city.
They talked over old times when
they worked side by side as laborers
In the steel mills of Pennsylvania, how,
In after year Mr.-Schwab became gen
eral manager of the Kdgar Thompson
mills in Pittsburg and Mr. Hudson
became superintendent.
Mr. Schwab invited his guest to go
automobile ridinfr with him, but the
latter could not go. They shook hands
repeatedly in parting. .-
"Be sure to remember me to Andy."
Insisted the Oregon rancher aa he
turned to go away.'
Andy" la Remembered.
"Say. Andy and I were talking about
you just before I left New York."
"Tes. he's a fine old man. It eure
does my heart good to know how he's
giving away all them libraries and
things."
"I know he'll be tickled to death
when he hears that I saw you."
"I don't know.' I don't believe he
likes me very well any more. You
know we had a quarrel that time when
we were building that hospital in Brad
dock." "Naw, that wasn't it. You .know
Andy is a religious fellow and you used
to swear so. Johnnie.
Andrew Carnegie AVaa lion.
It was unnecessary for' anyone to ex
plain that the "Andy" they were talk
lng about was Andrew Carnegie, for
whom both men worked when they
vere boys together.
But Mr. Schwab couldn't resist the
opportunity of telling what a power
ful single-handed cusser his old friend
used to be.
"Why. I used to be at home some
times." he said, between guffaws of
laughter, "and I'd hear the awfulest
rumbling and roaring and I'd think
lightning had struck the mill. It fooled
me a couple of times until I found out
that it was nothing? but Johnnie cuss
ing at some fellow who had broken
A roll."
By this time everyone excepting Mrs.
Schwab Jiad been taken care of in the
waiting automobiles. Mrs. Schwab has
beautiful gray hair and walks with
evident difficulty. Mr. Schwab hastened
to help her down the steps.
"Johnnie, he doesn't take good care
of me any more," she complained with
a, laugh.
"Well, he ought to be old enough to
know better."
Invitation Is Extended.
"Come to New York and see us some
time." urged Mrs. Schwab as they
started for the waiting machine.
The Schwab trip is a regular house
party on wheels. There are 16 mem
bers In the party, including Mr.
Sfhwab's aged father and mother, his
sister, a number of old-time friends
who are In less fortunate circumstances

than he, and a few business associates.
Among the other prominent members
are J. Johnston vice-president of the
Bethlehem Steel Company, and J. Ci.
Schmidlapp. president of the Union
Trust Company of Cincinnati, and one
of the leading philanthropists of his
local itv.
"There is one thing that I don't pay
any attention to when I am out on a
trip," said Mr. Schwab, "and that Is
business.
'The steel business has been poor
for the last few years, but is picking
up. It ought to be getting good now.
I suppose it will be a lot better when
I get back.
"Well, how about those submarines?"
someone asked him by way of suggest
ing the order for British war equip
ment which the State Department at
Washington recently caused by
Schwab's company to cancel.
War and FoliticM Forsrotten.
"That's another thing that I never
think about when I'm away from
home the war; that and politics."
The present trip is only one of
numerous similar excursions which
he arranges once or twice a year.
It is his cheerful habit to go back
to his home town, Loretto. Pa.,
every little while and gather up
a party of old cronies, merchants,
steelworkers, farmers and ordinary
workingmen, hire a special train with
enough cars to accommodate the crowd
and start off on a trip somewhere.
Just last year he took a whole train
load of this kind down into Mexico.
This is. his. second excursion through
Portland.
Segro .Makea. Arraaareiiieiits.
On all such trips the entire arrange
ments are in charge of "Joe" Ray, a
faithful colored man who has been in
Mr. Schwab's service for more than
25 years. - Joe's word is law to far as
the movement of the party is con
cerned and Mr. Schwab Is one of the
most tractable members.
It was trying to rain when the
party was here, but everyone got
around and saw the roses and all the
other noted scenic attractions that
Portland people like to brag about.
"It's all nice enough, but good old
Pennsylvania for mine," sighed the
elder Mr. Schwab as he returned to
the car from his automobile trip. Be
fore the party left a-committee from
the Chamber of Commerce presented
Mrs. Schwab and the other women
members with a bouquet of roses.
The party remained In Seattle only
an hour last night and the train then
was sent over the Northern Pacific to
a connection with the Canadian Pa
cific, over which "they will travel East.
