Story of Life of New Heed Steel
T rust is Like Fiction.
New York.?Whdn William Ellii
Oorcj retired from the preside ncj
of the United States Steel Corporation,

Sc tdorgan and Gary got together
again : :.d decided that they had
raad< a uiistake. When they got
over Ihei. astonishment at thiH
ninaM g uiscovery they made up
their Xii.i.ou to correct it quickly before
U lu. ce any trouble.
The.. c; Hi their experienced eyes
over C.4. ic. ptive candidates for
the p44.il.ut-ncy and the first man
tliey James A. Farreli, bea
of tl e cit 1 Products Company,
whici .s die division of the big corporation
Li.at sella steel rails and
steel giluuiiB, and armor-plate, and
other vi 11 gs of steel to foreign

Fan ill is a Connecticut Yankee.
That was a big recommendation, for
w^ec Connecticut Yankees go out
af?ei tijtl.irg they usually get It.
or at liust all of it that can be
pried ir blasted loose.
Neither Morgan nor Gary wanted
a temporal y president. They wanted
a man who was more interested
In steel than In anything else on
^artli ar.d who was well enough
uloug iu years to be past the age of
habit forming.
"How about this fellow Farreli?"
asked Moigan. "Is he strong for
yuchtlLg cr European travel orany
of the other frilln thnt ? ? ?*??

^ "He^PJjot a couple .of cat-boats up
at-^3outl) N'orwalk," said Gary.
"Ma) be one of 'em's a sloop, now I
come to think of it. That ends him
011 tl.e jr.chting business.''
"Does he keep office hours?" asked
Morgan.
"His bill for overtime would
stagger humanity if he put it in said
Gary.
"Man of Education?"
"HeIds the degree of H .P. (head
puddler) from one of the biggest
Pittsburg steel mills . Has read
everything that's going on steel,
and has done a lot of outside reading
on top of it. I should call him
a men of education and then
some."
So James A .Farreli was recommended
by the executive committee
its candidate for president, and
^mat is just the same as getting a

I This James A. Farrell has bee:
so busy with the affairs of his em
j ploycm for the last 32 years tba
nobody outside the steel busines
I f u a chauce to know much abou
im .
lie m n8 bora in South Norwalh
. Conn., the Bummer residence o
ui.-ny famous men in all the lines o
juBincss. lie moved to New Havei
when he was five years old?chief
I iy for the reason that his parent
r v-huiiged their residence to that city
j He may have absorbed sora
a now ledge fiom Yale universit;
while there, but if he did he onl;
gut such crumbs of erudition a
were thrown over the walls, for hi
never was inside the college as i
) student.
At sixteen he decided he ha<
( been loafing long enough, and wen
f to work In a wire mill. "I workei
, with my head and my muscles," b<
said, thus giving birth to a mottt
that ought to be hung up cm ever;
head of every youth of the land.
It took him nine years to lean
, all about the wire business that th<
. New Haven mill had to teach. Hi
, saw Yale students coming and go
r lng, playing football and basebal
and pulling shells on the water
. Perhaps he regretted that he wa
not one of them. Most hard work
. ing boys do envy those who can af
ford to make college professors dt
their work for them.
But, anyway, he kept on working
and when there was nothing mon
about the wire business in Nev
Haven for him to find out lie pu
a toothbrush and an extra pair o:
overalls in ins grip and went t(
Pittsburg, whtfcli is the Athens o
the steel business.
Arriving there lie went to worl
at his specialty?wire?and sooi
rose to a boss of a mill. Rut a few
blocks away was a big steel mill
where they turned the raw crud<
iron into polite, refined steel, and
young Farrell decided that here
were more things to find out. He
went into that mill as a beginner
worked a while as a puddler. and
emerged as a superintendent.
A pudder is a man who watches
the process of pudding, which con.
sists in uniting the component parts
of steel, iron, carbon, etc., in a big
crucible. Farrell was a good pudder.
About that time he came undei
the kindly eye of Charles M. Schwab,
who was a marvel of efficiency,
and one of the most energetic
brain hunters that ever served the
steel corporation.
Schwab took Farrell out of the
pudding mill and put him in charge
of one of the many companies that
handle the product, and he has been
working for the steel corporation
in responsible executive capacities
ever siuce.
When Andrew Carnegie made up
his mind to die with net more thau
fifty or sixty million dollars, he
took a flrat mortgage on all the visible
steel property in and around
Pittsburg, and allowed other and
more avaricious men to run the
business.
Then the head office of the company
came to Now York, and Mr.
Farrell came along. His first care
when he got here was to find himself
a home on the soil which had
given him birth, and to buy a boat,
so that he could get into his lungs
the oxygen he needed to keep steam
up in his brain.
Then he took a winter bouse in
Brooklyn, and went to work so

q hard that nobody not connected
i- with the steel trust never heard ol

of powerful physique, and an im

five children and he says that hit

f Baruca ("lass Meeting.
n There was quite an interesting
~ meeting at the Baptist church or
8 Wednesday evening. It was in th<
' nature of a Baraca rally, the cftiel
e feature being an address by Mr. A
y 0. Saleeby, an enthusiastic Barncn
y worker, of Salisbury, N. C. Mr. Sa3
leeby represents the Sajfsbuo
e Township Baraca Union, comprising
a a membership of five hundred, and
none who heard him here could
^ fail to see that hi3 heart is thor
* oughly enlisted in the work.
* Notwithstanding the severe weath
13 er a goodly crowd assembled and
J the speaker was given the closest
y attention, as he sketched the ori
gin and growth of tta Baraca move1
ment, detailed its objects and
8 achievements, and closed with a
ringing call to arms.
He briefly and entertainingly related
the story of the conversiot
of Mr. M. A. Hudson, the founder ol
this great movement which has non
attained worldwide proportions. Tr
twenty years said the speaker, this
3 movement whose very name and
symbol means "Blessing," started
' with a class of five under Mr. Hud"
son in Syiucuse, N. Y, has placed
its motto, "Young men at work foi
i young men, all standing by the Bi
' ble and the Bible school." upon the
31 walls of thousands of active Sunday
I Schools throughout the United
| States and England, and has beer
[ j instrumental in the reclaiming of a
1 j legion of young men; one hundred
r | and fifty conversions have crowned
* , the work of Mr. Hudson in his own
: | class alone.
' Two very important and practical
J results immediately followed the delivery
of Mr. Saleeby's address; one
J J was an invitation to Mr. Hudson to
visit Dillon and address the local
ijaracjts ami t'nuaitiens and tnc
1 j other was the suggestion that steps
' j be taken looking to the organlza'
! tion of a local Baraca Union. The
' matter of a Union will be taken up
(Sunday morning before the Baraca
' class* s of the Baptist and Metliod
ist Sunday Schools, and it is very
likely that an organization will be
formed.
