"Good Lawd, looW't 'at gl'nt coming 1" Autumn in the Down Stairs Store at Wanamaker's 0 IX' K 2 .. 1c fc fc 5T $ i s exclaimed a negro laborer. Sure enough It was some giant. He wag big enough to put "Bill" JIaher. deputy police chief at the shipyard. In his pocket, and Maher Is no dwarf with his six feet two. But this man was seven feet six, and no kidding. Well, sir, he Just went where he pleased and no guard held him up to see If he had a pass. The prizefight ers working In the yard bowed politely and the hardest boa In the plant made room for the colossus. , The stranger turned out to be Martin Donnelly, of Chicago. Ho also turned out to be a gentlo character. Ho wouldn't harm a hair of your head. He tried, boxing a few years ago, but couldn't get anybody to try It with him. Everybody took him seriously, while he was simply after a little pjay. Then he went to special policing nt the WcBtern Klectrlc Company's plant. In Chicago. Now the Goernment Is using him to give personally conducted free tours for men who have promised to do war work in shipyards and munition factories. Some keep their promises and some don't. Two that Donnelly Just brought here were among those who dldn t. Donnelly left Chicago with fifty-six men for the Chester shipyard. He left Pittsburgh with all hands aboard the train, but when he called the roll at the shipyard two were missing. Appar ently they are headed for Palm Beach or somo other winter resort. That's only three Vo lost all together." said Donnelly, with a gleam of satisfaction. The bos who came here with him this time grew fond of him. Donnelly Is only thirty-four years old, and Is a nnthe of Ireland, Over there he was a regular policeman. He weighs 240 pounds, which Is thirty-lhree lesq than he once weighed. He reached his height at twenty-six, he said. Traveling these war days doesn't bother him any. If the cnslne were to break down, he'd Just get off and give the train a push. He left the shipyard too soon for tho youngsters to satisfy their curiosity about his muscle. SLACKING LABORERS FIRED 'Chester Boss Requires Every Man to Do a Man's Work Fred Murken Is having his troubles with laborers at the Chester shipyard. He bosses several gangs totaling about clghty-flvc men of many nationalities. He thinks they arc, as a whole, the best laborers In tho world, but he's dead against the few slackers he meets with In hi sranks. ' His men hae to tote heavy planks, among other materials, for tho car penters, and it takes only two men to handle one of them. Some of the men got to doubling up by going four at one board. When Murken "called" them for It they said the other "laborers had told them to do It. "WoIl, you can all itet out If you don't want to do It as I tell you," said Murken, and they went.
