HISTORY OF THE STRIKE.
How II Started, How II Developed
How It Was Managed.
(San Francisco Chronlcle.)

(San Francisco Chronicle)
The leaders who have managed the
strike with such remarkable skill were
willing yesterday, for the first time, TO
tell the secret history of 1t. There has
all along been a mystery in the affair,
for the strikers have kept to them
selves the methods that enabled them
at a time when neither the street rail
way companies nor the general public
had any idea that such a thing was
even contemplated, strike a stunning
blow that, in less than four hours last
Saturday night, paralyized the street
passenger traffic of San Francisco.
How it started, how 1t developed, and
how 1t was managed, the leaders as
sured now of success, are willing ey-
erybody should know.
On the evening of July 8, 1901, ten
men employed on the street car lines
as motormen and conductors, met In
room II of the Lick House. They left
their uniforms at their homes, and
came In singly and by devious routes
to the hotel. One of them was Rich
ard II. Cornelius, then a mOtorman on
the Sacramento-street line, and now
the strike leader, with national rep
utation. Among others were Henry
Dingwal then a conductor on the
same line, and now custodian of the
thousands of dollars that is in the
treasury fund of the strikers. The
rest included Harry Wilson, James
Munroe, II. A. Eilken, Andrew Briggs
and NJ. Martenson, Of the Sacramento
street line; Otis Il. Kittinger, of the
Fillmore-street line, and Albert Unger
and Fred j. Schmidt, Of the Jackson
street line. All have won prominence
in the strike.
With them in that little rear room
at the hotel was J. ID. Pierce, of Chi
cago, national organizer Of the Anal
gamated Order of the Street Railway
Employees of America, and before they
separated, Division 2O5 of the order,
which this morning has more than
5000 members, was born. When the
details Of the organization were com
pleted they went back 10 their homes
one by one, with coat collars turned
up about their ears and hats pulled
well down over their eyes. Each one
had been told what section Of the city
was assigned 10 him in which to begin
missionary work, with a view OF en-
rolling every street car man in San
Francisco as members OF the Union,
and they did not deceive themselves
as to the risks they were running.
Next morning Cornelius. Dingwall,
Eilken, Schmidt. Briggs, Wilson, Un'
ger and Munroe were summarily dis
missed from the service Of the com
pany. A mOtOrman named Philip Hal
pin, on the Sacramento-street line. was
discharged because OF his personal re
semblance 10 Martinson. Kittinger es-
capped altogether. Against none OF
these men had any complaint OF ne
glect OF duty or inefticiency ever been
made, and they went down TO the
Wells-Fargo building on the afternoon
Of July 10th, 10 ask General Manager
Vining why they had been dismissed
He said IL was because the company
had no further use for their services.

that the Horpin Homestead building had
