The Elbert County tribune., 1909-01-14

He told me about this one afternoon
when ! visited him at his Office. One
of the Office boys hung about as we
talked. in a way that | did not like,
and ! cautioned Majors lest he be over
heard and Halliday warned. but he
scoffed at my fears and said he trusted
the boy. Nevertheless, | 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 dangerous character
and 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 a
friend in the revenue service had sent
me from Kentucky. | had invited
Majors more TO get him away from his
work than with any idea that he would
care especially for the liquor, as /
knew that he was temperate in all his
tastes and habits knew that he
needed the rest. that he was overtax-
ling himself with the war he was wag-
ing with the strikers, and | had not

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 she 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 a dangerous
as well as difficult position.
The day after my arrival was pres
ent when he received a 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 a man named Hal
liday, the walking delegate to whom
have referred. He was pompous, over
bearing. pudgy. INSCRIPTIONS, and
He was the speaker for the strikers,
and l thought that / detected some
thing more dangerous than ardor for

his cause in the insolent manner he
displayed during the Interview.
Majors heard the impassioned adj
dress OF the delegate without inter
rupting him and. when he had finished.
turned 10 the others, whom he called
by name. and whom he addressed as
follows:
Boys, / 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
other road in this state. You haven't
a legitimate cause of complaint and
you are wasting your own time and
mine as well to seek further confer.
ence with me until you come To your
senses and are willing TO return to
work ON the old terms Any of you
who wish to return to the service may
do so without prejudice. You are be
ins deluded by selfish agitator who
is profiting by the misfortunes which
his counsel has brought upon you. II

do. If you resort to violence | will

have the guilty run down and pun
is..ed If 1t takes "a thousand years. /
have nothing farther to say to you"
Halliday, the agitator, glared dan
gerousiy at Majors during the inter
view. and as he sulkily skunk out of
the room | 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 en-
gineer, who were strike-breakers. were
killed. Majors went in person to the
scene of the wreck to investigate. 1t
didn't take a 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-
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
fled that he had not had any direct
part in carrying 1t 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.

think he appreciated this, for he ac-
ceDted my invitation with alacrity.
He came in late. and l saw at once
that something was preying upon his
mind. | was far from guessing the
real nature of his trouble for ! at

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 chance to advance
their own selfish interests by bringing
about difficulty between the road and
its employees. The demands had been
refused and the men had gone ont 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 Internationally. The men knew
his determined character and they
realized that he meant Just what he
had said. | believe they would have
discontinued the strike. SO popular
was Majors with the men and so wen
was his honesty known. If 1t had not
been for the activity of walking dele
gate of the trainmen's union.
Another obstacle to settlement of
the trouble was the president OF the
road. He was wealthy mine owner,
