The striker who started the Great strike.
tChicsgo Tribune.l
A fireman named Ammon had been
discharged for good cause from the SER
vice Of the Fort Wayne Railroad. In
revenge he conceived the idea of inau-
guratiDg q resistance to the road in the
form OF strike. He went at the work
coolly and deliberately. His scheme at
first contemplated engineers as well as
fremen and brakemen in grand con-
certed movement, but the engineers
had already been on an unsuccessful
strike, and besides were already banded
in q brotherhood. governed by regular
code OF laws, and acting only on its own
motion, independent OF all other trades
unions. He, therefore, confined his
efforts to the flremen, brakemen.
conductors and switchmen, and
equipped with q ritual, and
set of rules and bylaws similar to those
Of the engineers, he travelled up and
down the Eastern division Of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, as well as the
Fort Wayne, organizing the train men
into secret societies, bound by oath to
resist the railroad company through the
medium OF strikes. Having accom-
plished his work so far as these roads
were concerned, he next essayed the
Pennsylvania Central, and was succeed
ing 80 well in his work that he enlarged
his field of labor and sent out emissaries
to work the New York and Erie road.
He seems to have had decided faculty
for organizing, and an intelligence above
the average class of workmen TO which
he belongs. He gave promise of reach.
ing the same degree of success at the
head of the firemen and brake
men that Mr.. Arthur has achieved
as this organizer OF the engineers in his
Brotherhood of the Foot board. Had
he succeeded, the strike would have
been much more formidable than the
event has proved. Before he had COM
pleted his purpose, however, there was
a. premature explosion in West Vir-
GINA, on the line OF the Baltimore and
Ohio road, and, when he had laid the
train on that and other roads, it spread
with wonderful rapidity. Everything
was opportune. He had prepared the
way, and the ten per cent reduction was
the match that started the confiagra-
ton. The strike was the end he was
aiming at, but it came too soon. His
plans were not fully consummated, but
when once it started it was beyond his
control.

He knows from experience that Kellogg is

Kellogg to keep Ludeliug on the supreme bench,
he may consider that discretion will be the better
course, and instead OF urging immediate re-
