The strike of the machinists on the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad is over,
and the result is victory for the
men. Potter and Harris forced the
strike by their arbitrary methods, and
during the continuance of it tried to
shield themselves by discharging Off
Gals under them, but in the end the
owners Of ths road took hold and fired
Potter and Harris and made settle
ment with the union.
The men were ayerse to striking,
in the first place, if any other avenue
had been open to them. But General
Manager G. L. Potter wanted to win
his spurs at the expense of the men
and he started an era of arbitrary
treatment that incensed the men, and
then. when they protested, dared
them to strike. They did, and now
the world knows the result. The
strike has cost the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad Company at least $1O,O00,OOO
in actual outlay, not figuring the de-
probation of their rolling stock,
which must be tremendous. From the
first the company had no trouble in
filling their shops with strike breakers
but they found it difficult to get COM
petent men. The pickets and the Off
Gals of the union kept busy all the
time. The result. was that trains
were mostly always late, and it took
usually three engines to do the work
of one. Week by week the reports of
the machinists' pickets from all the
railroad points have been printed in
the Majority, (the only newspaper
that has stuck from soup to nuts with
the striking Machinists), and that
these reports were true is proven by
the result.
The last conference was held by the
representatives from all the struck
points with the new management OF
/ the B. & o. at Baltimore last week.

They are to be reinstated as rapidly

This will not be very rapidly, as hun
