cation known as the Pacific Slope Sea-
mans Union refused to work vessels
the cargoes of which were to be
handled by scab longshoremen and
freight handlers. The union presented
it's ultimatum, and then called a strike.
This had been Daylight's objective all
the time. Every incoming coastwise
vessel was boarded by the union off,
cials and its crew sent ashore. And
with the seamen went the firemen, the
engineers and the sea cooks and
walters. Daily the number Of idle
steamers increased. 1t was impossi-
BILE to get scab crews, for the men Of
the Seamen's Union were fighters
trained in the hard school Of the sea,
and when they went out 1t meant
blood and death to scabs. This phase
of the strike spread up and down the
entire Pacific coast, until all the ports
were filled with idle ships, and sea
transportation was at standstill. The
days and weeks dragged out, and the
strike held. The Coastwise Steam
Navigation Company and the Hawaii
an, Nicaraguan. and Pacific-Mexican
Steamship Company were tied up COM
pletely. The expenses of combating
the strike We're tremendous, and they
were earning nothing, while daily the
situation went from bad to worse, I'M
til peace at any price" became the
cry. And still there was no peace,
until Daylight and his allies played out
their hand, raked in the winnings, and
allowed a goodly portion of CONT
nent to resume business.
Daylight's coming to civilization had
not improved him. True, he wore
better clothes, had learned slightly
better manners, and spoke better Eng
lish. But he had hardened, and at the
expense of his old-time, whole-souled
geniality. Even his human affiliations
were descending. Playing lone hand,
contemptuous Of most Of the men with
whom he played, lacking in sympathy
or understanding of them, and certain
ly independent OF them, he found lit
tie in common with those to be en-
countered, say at the Alta-Pacific. In

steamship companies was at its height
and his raid was inflicting incalcula-

CHAPTER XII.

Daylight was in the thick of his
spectacular and intensely bitter fight
with the Coastwise Steam Navigation
Company, and the Hawaiian, Mica
raguan, and Pacific-Mexican Steam
ship Company. He stirred. up a big
ger muss than he had anticipated,
and even he was astounded at the
wide ramifications of the struggle and
at the unexpected and incongruous in
terests that were drawn into II. Every
newspaper in San Francisco turned
upon him. 1t was true, one or two Of
them had first intimated that they
were open to subsidization, but Day
lights judgment was that the situa-
ton did not warrant such expenditure
Up to this time the press had been
amusingly tolerant and good-naturedly
sensational about him, but now he was
an antagonized press was capable Of.
Every episode of his life was resur-
rected to serve as foundations for ma
licious fabrications. Daylight was
frankly amazed at the new interpre-
tation put upon all that he had ac-
complished and the deeds he had
done. From an Alaskan hero he was
metamorphosed into an Alaskan
bully. liar. desperate, and all-around
bad man." The whole affair sank to
the deeper deeps Of rancor and savage
ness. The poor woman who had killed
herself was dragged out of her grave
and paraded on thousands of reams
of paper as martyr and victim to
Daylight's ferocious brutality.
He was like big bear raiding a
beehive, and, regardless of the stings,
he obstinately persisted in paving for
the honey. He gritted his teeth and
struck back. Beginning with a raid on
two steamship companies, 1t develop
ed into q pitched battle with a city,
state and continental coast line. AL

man WIN a reputation TO MAKE, ana
whose peculiar genius had been un.
recognized until Daylight had picked
up with him. 1t was Hogan who guided
Daylight through the intricacies of
modern politics, labor organization,
and commercial and corporation law.
1t was Hogan. prolific of resource and
suggestion. who opened Daylight's
eyes to undreamed-of possibilities in
twentieth-century warfare; and 1t was
Daylight. rejecting. accepting. and
celebrating, who planned the cam
paigns and prosecuted them. With the
Pacific coast, from Puget Sound to
Panama, buzzing and humming, and
with San Francisco furiously about his
ears, the two big steamship companies
had all the appearance of winning. 1t
looked as If Burning Daylight was be-
ing beaten slowly to his knees. And
then be struck-at the steamship com.
panies, at San Francisco, at the whole
Pacific coast.
1t was not much of blow at first.
A Christian Endeavor convention was
being held in San Francisco, row
was started by Express Drivers Union
No. 927 over the handling of a small
heap Of baggage at Ferry Building. A
few heads were broken, score of ar
rests made. and the baggage was de-
hvered. No one would have guessed
that behind this petty wrangle was

potent by the Klondike gold of Burn
ing Daylight. 1t was an insignificant
affair at best-or so 1t seemed. But
the Transfers Union took up the
quarrel, backed by the whole Water
Front Federation. Step by step, the
strike became involved. A refusal of
cooks and walters to serve scab team
sters or teamsters' employers
brought out the cooks and walters
The butchers and meat cutters refused
to handle meat destined for unfair
restaurants. The combined Employ
ers' Associations put up solid front,
and found facing them the 10000 or
ganized laborers of San Francisco.
The restaurant bakers and the bakery
wagon drivers struck, followed by the
mixers, milk drivers and chicken
pickers. The building trades asserted
its position in unambiguous terms, and
all San Francisco was in turmoil.
But still, it was only San Francisco.
Hegan's intrigues were mastery, and
Daylight's campaign steadily devel-
oped. The powerful f1ghting organi-
