LABOR'S FIRST STRIKE.
Wat Tyler Headed the First Great Protest
OF the Masses.

The first labor strike was in 1881,
when Wat Tyler at the head Of lOo,-
300 peasantry marched into / ondon,
sa kcd the houses Of Parliament, in
vaded the tower and told the mobiles
who had fed there for refuge that
| the time had arrived wheD serf was
as good as a lord. Before that time
labor meant abject slavery, aud snch
thing as strike had never been
born in the brain even Of the Anglo
Saxon, the first race in history to en-
JOY free labor.
In London Wat Tyler's great army
of peasantry met young hi hard IL
on the banks Of the Thames and de-
mauded freedom f.om the serfage OF
the soil. That tremendous conflict,
which freed labor and created mid
! die class in England, had its begin
ming in luxury and extravaganza.
When Edward III was reigning the
black plague broke out and carried
off so many victims that crops were
left unharvested. When it had lifted
the baroDs found that they could noU
control free labor because they would
not pay the prices. Then followed
one Of the bloodlest wars between
labor and capital.
A. out this time there appeared
John Ball, mad pr.est OF kent"
He made speeches from the pulpit Of
almost every church IN Kent. and his
speeches were Of the most socialistic
character.
The government could not prevent
immense crowds of peasantry from
docking to hear Ball. He uttered
this rhyme, that flew from mouth to
mouth through the kingdom:
When Adam delved and Eve span,
Who was then the gentleman?
| That was the watchWord Of labor
and it summoned to arms the lower
classes Of England. One hund. ed
thousand peasants marched through
Canterbury looted the palace Of the
a h-bishop and opened the jail Coors
upon Mad JohL Ball." and then
hurried on to London, where they
met Wat Tyler, soldier, and placed
him in leadership Of the army OF
lator.
Richard, only 16 years of age, had
Just come 20 the throne. He met
the army and made most liberal

if they would diSperse and go home.
| Wat Tyler, with his 1900 Kent
ish men, ETC., remained to see the
King perform his promise. Richard
freed men right and left Nearly
every n2blenan in the kingdom had
fed to Scotland to escape the wrath
Of this army of labor. The next day
the boy King, scarcely without fol-
towing, met Wat Tyler and his re-
naming army and scul1e ensued
between Wat Tsler and the LorG
Mayor of London, in which the Id
