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.
