THE Jl'SGLE.
Mr. Sinclair's Story of the Awful
Methods of the Beef Packers.
No more powerful or terrible book
has been written in recent years than
"The Jungle." hy I'pton Sinclair. It
seems Incredible that such depth of
human misery as the author relates
could he permitted even by the most
callous money maker the most
soulless corporation; or, on the other
hand, that Biich vlleness and filth in
the preparation of human food could
e permitted: yet most of Mr. Sin.
dair's statements are from personal
knowledge and observation, visiting
the great packing plants, as he did
mostly in disguise. Moreover, his
statements have been abundantly cor
roborated by President Roosevelt's
special commission, whose confidential
report, containing descriptions of deg
radation, filth and food pollution. Is
too vile to print In a newspaper.
The hero of Thk Jtmii k Is Jurgls. a
great, broad-shouldered Lithuanian,
who gloried In work, for the mere sake
of It, even if be bad bad no Incentive.
In the far forests of Lithuania, where
ho and his father had lived all their
lives, children of nature, Jurgls had
heard of free America, and that as
much as $10. a week was to be earned
bv a w illing laboring man. In the great
city of Chicago. And after manv argu
ments and much discussion, he had
prevailed upon his father, and Ona the
sweet hllthsome Ibbs to whom be was
betrothed, and her mother and several
children and relatives, to emigrate to
splendid America, where a man mav
not nlwavs remain a neasant, hut
where he has a chance to Improve him
self and rise In the world. Ten dollars
a week was nn unheard of fortune.
The peasants of Europe make a few
cents a day.
Ro they all went to Packlnctnwn. and
the first day that .Turgls stood in lino,
being altogether the finest specimen
of a man in the yards, he was beckon
ed to by the bos and elven n ioh. He
went home Jubilant. Two other mem
bers of the family, one a great strap
ping woman, also got Jobs at once.
ii '
JurKlH laiiKhed at the dUcontent every
wlmro rnanlfeHt. "They are not men,"
he exclaimed. What of the "upending
up" practice of the packers? It waa
hut plHy to him to keep ahreant of the
fiiHti'Ht. Jle wan working to wed Ona.
They were all cheated nhameleHHly

Ann men came a misfortune, una, a

to work temporarily. Then a voung

day, after many montliH of faithful and
herculean Hervlce for the great corpora

Hirer running amuck, he Bllpped on the
bloody floor and sprained his ankle.
I)ld the packers give him a short fur
lough with pay while he wan recover

him? Neither. He returned to work,
not very Btrong looking through pain
CHT AOKL
and worry, the boss sized him up at a
glance and there was no work for him
in Packlngiown, and Ona, whom he had
married meantime was about to be
come a mother.
Then is recited in Thk .Ir.Nui.K, a tale
of gradual and heart-rending downfall
in the wearing out by inches, of a
strong man. Jurgis gets a job in the
terrible fertilizer vaults where his head
nearly splits with the poisonous dust
and the stilling fumes of ammonia.
His father dies from the effects of the
awful "speeding up" and the slimy
wet In which he has to work, ankle
deep. Ona. the beautiful, the once
blithe young bride sih-cuiii. b to the
hateful "System" and Jurgis. powerful
man that he is. his strong spirit broken
by The brutality and irrisistilde power
of the bosses, becomes a great gaunt,
hollow eyed ghost of his former self.
The story is a tale of the gradual
extermination of a splendid, virile
European family, ground to death by
a "System," by a pitiless monopoly,
which cares no more or not as much
for Its workers than it does for the
carcasses of the animals It converts in
to food. Incidentally the description
of this process Is sufficiently revolting
to turn the stomach of the stoutest
beefeater.
Oh! could Jurgis, and Ona, and the
rest of them, with their frugality and
their brawn, and their love of life and
work, and joy of a home, have gone
into some rural district to work out
their salvation, what a different story
would have been The Ji .m.ik. Some
other name for the book would have
been necessary. What if thev could
have gotten a dozen acres, or five acres
of good land somewhere and bought it
for what they squandered uselessly for
their house in Packingtown they were
turned out and the house resold the
first month they failed of payment
what a different history woud have
been told by the author!
What If the great packing trust, in
stead of killing men and women, should
provide that its employes could live on
an acre of ground each, or a half acre,
out on the great fertile prairies of
Illinois, quickly reached from the stock
yards by a modern trolley, bo that when
thev were of necessity, perhaps, "laid
off" for a period of a week, or six
weeks, or on "half time" thev would
have a niece of rich land which they
could till and raise enough potatoes and
corn pnd imiq oi-j r'!o keep
them from ftnrvlne to death. Rut the
packing trust Mr. Oerten Armour ind
other millionaires nnd multi-mllllon-aires
would make less monev it
would decrease its dividends perhans
several per cent., and that Is not to be
thought of. Yy getting the best out of
a man. all there is in him In a few
short vears, this unnamable Thing can
turn him out and get new blood. It
is evidently most profitnMe to "speed a
man up" to the wrecking point ami
then cet new men. This process of
trafficking In human life, coupled with
the abominable and poisonous adnltern
Hons and use of diseased animals
which Mr. Sinclair describes fit flrit
hand, enables Mr. Armour and the
others to make verv satisfactory wr-centae-es
of profit to pile up million"
of dividends a year.

An hour at Kills Island in New' York
harUir, is full of Biniles and tears.
'1 he newly arrived immigrant, before
he has changed bis native garb, with
his outlandish Ixixes and bundles still
aboi.t him, is ek-mally iuterrMing.
His meetings and partings are full of
a childish exuberance and abandon.
He Ih never so picturemiue or ho
pathetic aa when he has Just doubt
fully intrusted -himself to the great
machinery of a new hind and law.
He hasn't been much on the stage
this immigrant but a fragment of his
lif( fitnlM its way thrre in a one-art
play called "The Land of the Free."
by W. C He Mille, which was seen re
reritly at a Vassar Aid Society mati
nee. It is dcscrilx-d by the Times as
a simple little story, one that happens
day after day.
In u room of the big immigration
building, with its desk and its blue
eoated official, an Italian workman
walks excitedly up and down. His
clothes are cheap and toor, but they
are plainly not his working garb, and
a bright holiday handkerchief is knot
ted alaiut bis throat. His eye are
keen and expectant. Evidently It is
it great day for him. It needs little
rnrouragrmrnt from the good-natured
oliicer to bring out tho whole story.
A big Mediterranean steamer is Just
landing its steerage passengers. Luigl.
as he peers through the gates at the
incoming rrowd. is almost beside him
self with delight.
"I waita three year," be explains,
breathlessly. "I worka verra hard and
1 sava le money to bring to me my
Maria ami my two little ones."
He ran hardly wait for the gate to
lh iieneil. But the otticer has more
to find out. His questioning brings out
further details. Luigl earns $! a week
with his pick and shovel. The wife
Is not Ktrong. She speaks a little Eng
lish. The officer looks doubtful, but
says nothing.
Then all at once the boat is in.
I'he Italian catches a sight of them
through the gates.
Na, na, Signore. she cornea last-
She getta lame back and two baby.
Ah I)io! Maybe she missa da Ujat

bundles, are all in their father's arms.
while the officer goes off to make his
report.
With her head on her husband's
shoulder. Maria breathes in Italian:
"Ah, my husband! I see you again,
thank ;od!"
To which the Americanized Luigl re
sponds: "Si. si, carrissirna. but now talka
English. We all good Americans and
we live In Mulberry street. I gotta da
little room for my Maria an' Fabio an'
Tessa."
Maria marvels at Luigl's great sal
ary 15 lire until Luigi Is forced to
explain:
"Yes, yes; In NeajKili it is 45 lire,
but in New York it is only $!), not so
nmebe."
Then in quick, excited phrase he
draws roseate pictures of a future iu
which peanut stands and prosperity
walk band in baud.
Presently the officer returns. He
di-aws Luigi aside. His face is kind,
but bis words an' terrible. It appears
that the little wife ibs-s not come up to
the requirements. She is not healthy.
She has no money, nnd Luigi has only
that SI a week. It is not enough to
support a family. The wife must g:

THE HOUSEKEEPER,. CORPORATION,
dren. The poor husband Is stunned.
'NaKjll! she go back to Napoll!
No, no. Ah, Iio Alio! You don' under
stand," he goes on, wlHtfulIy. "I
work three year an' sava da money to
bring her to me. Your boss he enn
nota send her bark we live at' right
on nine dollar week. I take her away.
You letfl Hie go eh?"
. "It's hard on you," says the officer,
"but It' the law."
Luigi Hcorns tin notion.
"Iaw? You taka my wife away:
you senda my littlea I oy ami girl bark
to Napoll, an' you say It Is d.i law.
Na. na. America is a free country.
I pay for her to cornea to me. I don't
steal, so wbata de law got to say?"
But threats, tears, reasonings arc
all In vain. Luigl at last stealthily
offers the blue-roated official $7, his
all. wrapped up In a handkerchief, as
a bribe. The officer frowns and says
firmly:
"I cannot I didn't make the law.
I can't help you. We have to do this
every day."
"Every day?" Luigi's eyes grow
wide with pain. "You doa this every
dny? Ah, Iiio! Every day you breaks
d.l heart!"
Then be goes to Maria, takes her in
his arms, and explains brokenly what
it all means.
"They w ill not leta you stay Maria
mia we have waited long we musta
stilla wait."
In the fare of her tearful dismay he
even tries to lie cheerful.
"Say. look a here." he cries: "you goa
bark to Napoll now, an' bimebye I
getta da more money. I make may
be twelve fifteen dollar wee. Then
I semla for you an Fabio an' Tessa,
an' the; letta you Hti.y.''
But Maria is overcome.
"Bark to Napoli? Alone?" she sobs.
A sudden thought comes to Luigi.
"No. no; not alone. I goa too. If
they senda you, I goa too."
He rushes over to the officer with
his piKtr seven silver dollars, only to be
met with the cruel truth, "Not. half
enough for your ticket."
Meanwhile the boat is returning.
The officer lays his hand kindly on
Maria's shoulder. The children look
wonderingly on. Painfully the little
trio piek up their buudles and turn 1
bock to the great gates. Luigi em
braces them between bis sobs.
"Don'ta cry, carrissirna: don'ta cry
I soon make twelve, fifteen dollar
week and buya da peanut stand, an'
I keep da little home. Then you come
again to stay. Don'ta cry you goa to
the Mader In Napoli. Ah, Dio! We
have waita three year an' I must senda
you back. Maybe next year I send for
you again."
As they pass out of his sight his
