} i ee SAM PARKS DIES victed of Extorting Money for Calling Off Building Strikes, Succumbs to Tuberculosis. MADE SAME FIGHT WITH DEATH AS WITH MEN. | Ses His Widow Notified and Is Ex- pected to Arrive at Prison Hospital to Take Charge of the Body. , Bam Parks, convicted walking dele-| yate for the Housesmiths’ tSnion, died in Sing Sing prison to-day from con- sumption, He died on a cot in the prison hos- pital and was alone except for the hon- pital attendants and one of the prison officials, who were called to him when lt was seen that he was breathing his last. Parks made the same fight with death that he made with men all through his Ute. Days ago it was seen that he was a dying man and he was told that he had not long to live. He received the news with the same indifference to consequences, yet with the same dis- play of iron will that has marked his career. Mrs. Parks was expected at the prison at noon to-day. Every visiting day since ho was sent to Sing Sing she has Deen with the fast wasting man, She spent as much time with him as the prison officials would permit. Looked Upon as « Martyr. Parks, after his first conviction, was sent to Sing Sing on Aug. 27 last. He was then stripped of his handsome clothes and shaved head and face. He denounced the prison attendants in the bitterest terms for what he called an indignity, He showed fight even after tke prison bars had closed behind him. Then his lawyers began to work for a recond trial. On September 2 ho was brought from the prison and released on bail from the ‘Tombs. Parks's next trial began in October Again he was found,guilty and was sentenced to two years and three months in Sing Sing prison. The second conviction is the only time Sam Parks was ever known to be unnerved for a mittier his second conviction Parks was known as No. 54,384 and was at first put to work in the fibre brush shop, but his condition soon became such that he was admitted to the hospital and was under treatment there up to the time of his death. . Parks and his wife had a home at the corner of Lexington avenue and Elghty-third street, for which Parks paid #5 a month. His salary as walk. Ing delegate was $7 a week. He spent money, however, with a lavish hand, and the best that could be bought was none too good for him. His clothes al- ways were immactlate. Parks is said to have lived much more luxuriously than his salary would permit. The complete history of his life would make most interesting reading and it would be a record of action. Bora in County Down, Ireland, he went to Canada when he was fourteen, and he had shifted for himself ever since. His first job was on a log drive and he got $3 a day. He drifted on to the rallroad as a brakeman; worked as a sailor on the great Iakes. He was a coat healver in West Superior, where he Joined a labor organization for the firat time because it enabled the coal shovellers to get fifty cents an hour. He went back to raflroading, then to eailing on Puget Sound, and then to railroading again. He,jomea a con- struction camp on the California Pacific and drifted into bridge buflaingsoecause the danger of it and thetneea of physl- eal strength attracted ‘hi . An Expert Riveter. Bridge building appealed to him art the stuck to it. In two years he was regarded as an expert workman, and his friends say that he never had a superior as a riveter. He Hated Newspapers, Parks was a man who hated news- papers, as he hated all things that balked him {n his ambition to lead—to lead by fair means or foul, He ob- jected to the exposures of his methods and to the exposures of the gang that worked with him, grinding down labor or employer as he saw fit, Parks once told of his work for unions, his fight for macy. It is given jn his own e to New York in 18% to look ome forty riveters on the bulld- ing at Bleecker street and Broadway. ‘That was about the first contract that the Fuller Company had in New York. made up my mind I would stay hers, because there was work to be done. “The. trade was in a bad way. fron league was all powerful and the employers paid just what they pleased, from $1.76 to $2.25 a day, and the men worked from eight to twelve hours.
