road. 1t was a silver mine, and that
metal was quoted at a good figure just
then. Consequently, he chafed at the
forced inactivity of his mine and IA
vored granting the concessions asked
by the men. But Majors was as firm
as rock, his position once taken, and
he fought the president himself with
the same logged determination he had
displayed towards the men.
Majors was the key to the situation,
the stumbling block to both interests,
and ugly threats were made against
him by the strikers. He had succeed
ed in operating the line after
fashion, although schedules were dis
arranged and the service was general
ly demoralized. 1t was only his force
full personality that had accomplished
even this, and as soon as made even
a cursory examination of conditions
saw that my friend held dangerous
as we'll as difficult position.
The day after my arrival I was pres
ent when he received delegation of
the strikers, and | was more than ever
impressed with his indomitable will by
this interview. There were four of the
strikers, headed by man named Hal
liday, the walking delegate to whom

bearing, pudgy, INSCRIPTIONS, and a
man of most malignant countenance
He was the speaker for the strikers.
and l thought that l detected some
thing more dangerous than ardor for
The enterprise. [volume] (Harlem, Mont.) 1899-1926, 1909-01-13

He told me about this one afternoon
when l visited him at his Office. One
of the Office boys hung about as we
talked, in a way that I did not like,
and l cautioned Majors lest he be over
heard and Halliday warned, but he
scoffed at my fears and said he trusted
the boy. Nevertheless, l didn't like
the CLEAN that came into the boys
eyes when he heard what Majors had
to say about Halliday. Things looked
threatening for the delegate. / knew
that he was a dangerous character
and l feared that he might try to es-
cape from the net that Majors was
weaving about him by trying to silence
Majors in the only way that was pos
sible.
That night Majors had promised to
call on me at my hotel to sample a
bottle of 30-year-old liquor that
friend in the revenue service had sent
ME from Kentucky. l had invited
Majors more to get him away from his
work than with any idea that he would
care especially for the liquor, as I
knew that he was temperate in all his
tastes and habits. | knew that he
needed the rest, that he was overtaX-
ing himself with the war he was wag-
ing with the strikers, and l had not
liked the haunted, worried expression

ished if 1t takes thousand years. l
have nothing farther to say to you
Halliday the agitator glared dan
gerously at Majors during the inter
view, and as he sulkily skunk out of
the room l overheard him breathing
threats against my friend to one of his
companions.
The climax of the strike came the
following day when one of the trains
was derailed and the fireman and ell
gineer, who were strike-breakers, We're
killed. Majors went in person to the
scene of the wreck to investigate. 1t
didn't take prolonged examination
to determine that the wreck was the
result of direct and premeditated de-
sign. This aroused every drop of
fighting blood in my friend, and he set
about tracking down the guilty per-
sons with the utmost vigor. He en-
ployed the best detective talent OBJ
tainable, and it was not many days be-
fore two of the strikers, tools of Halli-
day, had been arrested and there was
every chance that both of them would
hang for the job. Suspicion pointed
strongly towards Halliday as the insti-
gator of the plot, but we were salts
fed that he had not had any direct
part in carrying it out. He was too
wise for that, but Majors gathered evil
dence against him that promised to
put him in the same boat with his con-
federates.
The enterprise. [volume] (Harlem, Mont.) 1899-1926, 1909-01-13

that he had assumed lately. 1t was
Saturday night and, as the road did
not operate Sunday train, Majors
could afford to take the night off and
enjoy the rest he needed so badly
think he appreciated this, for he ac-
cepted my invitation with alacrity.
He came in late, and l saw at once
that something was preying upon his
mind. l was far from guessing the
real nature of his trouble for ! at
tributed it to the strike. We made a
sorry endeavor to renew our old col
lege gayety, but it wouldn't work.
Majors was distracted and let me do
most of the talking. I told him what
I knew of the old boys, and recalled
many amusing incidents of our school
life, but l could not rouse him from
the fit of dependence into which he
was sunk. And through it all, Majors
sat with a far-away look on his face,
and I saw that he was not following
my rambling talk, for once or twice
when l paused for him to answer some
question, he was SO deeply involved in
HIS own BlOOlHy lHouSHto ,Iidt He uluH
know had stopped speaking.
Nevertheless, am convinced that

his cause in the insolent manner he
displayed during the interview.
Majors heard the impassioned ad-
dress of the delegate without inter-
rupting him and, when he had finished,
turned to the others, whom he called
by name, and whom he addressed as
follows:
Boys, l have looked into your case
as carefully as if it were my own. You
are in the wrong; there is no virtue in
your contentious and cannot consider
them further. You have been receiv-
ing better wages and better and fairer
treatment than the employees of any

senses and are willing to return to

who wish 10 return to the service may
do so without prejudice. You are be-

is profiting by the misfortunes which
his counsel has brought upon you. If
you prefer to follow him rather than
me, I have nothing farther to say to
you. l am going to run the P. & O..

do. If you resort to violence I will

mands. Majors, my friend, had duly
investigated their complaints and con-
sidered their demands and had found
that there was virtue in neither, but
that both were inspired by labor
agitators who saw a chance to advance
their own selfish interests by bringing
about difficulty between the road and
it's employees. The demands had been
refused and the men had gone out on
strike.
Majors had come up from the ranks
himself and had every sympathy for
the men until he had convinced him
self that they were in the wrong. Once
convinced on this point. he had bowed
his neck and refused to treat with
them further unless they returned to
work unconditionally. The men knew
his determined character and they
realized that he meant just what he
had said. ! believe they would have
