Chicago Sausage Factory Girls, Too, Find Slaughterhouse Music Is" Kttieienry Tonic CHICAGO.—"Ma-a-a-am" bellowed the steers. "la-da, O, ja-da.” roared the butchers. "M-a-a-am! m-a-a-am," wailed the cows. "How ya gonna keep ’em down on the farm?" chanted the tiutchers a s they joyfully walloped steers over the head with sledge hammers or dextrously stuck squealing pigs in the neck with long gltaming knives. It was in the beef and Fheep killing plant at the stock-yards. Music had found a new field. And industry had tumbled upon a new necessity. Beeves hung from the overhead trolley; there were mountain of hides, legs of mutton and prospective porterhouse steaks. And at one end of the floor several hundred men stood around a piano and sang ragtime. "Oh. oh. oh, these St. Louis blu-u-ues,” began A. Bowey, a colored butcher in the sheep department as he belabored the piano. .Men of foreign birth, men spattered with red, men who understood not a word of the toe-vibrating jazz music—they shouted and started a mad gallop up and down the floor. The blues ended. John Rezek, a church organist when he isn't butchering beef, plunged into a Slavic folk dance. Then the Oecho-Slovak workers’ eyes brightened and In undershirts and white aprons they formed couples and danced. "It’s the best tonic for Inefficiency—is music," said the superintendent of the beef and sheep "kills’’ at the plant. "Since I installed that piano the quality of the workmanship has improved 20 per cent. "Why? Because 1 find that when the men. as many as 300 sometimes, gather around the piano and sing, they freshen up, become friendly with one another, lose ttietr discontent and turn hack to their work with new energy. "Often the girls from the sausage factory nearby rush up to the cattl% slaughtering floor when the Jazz music starts. Then there fs dancing. "I am going to put flowers—« geraniums, pansies and daisies—in here, too," added the superintendent. ''Yes, right among the carcasses of beef. And the walls will he painted a cheerful green. My men are the happiest gang tn the yards.” Other plants have heard of the success of music in the beef killing department, and they plan to try the idea, it was said today. It is declared music is the best cure for restlesness among the workers, aid that If regtime was generally adopted, discontent about the country would die out. UNEARTH m l> SKFI.FTiiV
