Strike Ragged Six Years
But Nobody Knew 1t
Walk-Out Forgotten, but Off

Here is railroad strike that ran
through world war; stood complac-
emily by while almost the entire com
plexion Of the Eastern Hemisphere
underwent changes, and might still be
running had not the strike committee
suddenly thought of it and declared
1T officially over. Another strange
thing about the strike is that no one
knew anything about it until it was
over.
The strike began March 18, 1914,
when $50 freight trainmen laid down
their brake sticks in the various ter
minals of the Monongahela Division of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. declaring
for improved working conditions ana
protesting the reduction of train crews.
ut was an outlaw strike" said an
official Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
in Pittsburgh, land was ended by the
railroad brotherhoods two weeks after
its inception" The strike might have
been ended, but the strike committee
never declared it officially off until at
a meeting one Saturday night
Most Of the men, it is understood,
who went out returned to work years
ago. The walk-out affected the ter
minals of the Monongahela Division at
Thompson, Donora, Brownsville and
Uniontown. Pa, only for day or so,
but the strike was in existence 2,261

"Peroxide may make hair blond, but

Let's Nominate Hardino.,
Stirred Tired Delegates
Willis's Friendly Humor After
Conycntion Had Lost Interest
in OratOrv Started Landslide

CHICAGO, July 1.-The long hours
Of oratory that mark every national
political convention may bore the tired
delegates and spectators nearly to the
point Of exhaustion, but never kill
their sense Of humor. Occasionally a
witty sentence or a quick reioinder has
been credited with having had greater
effect on the final result than all the
oratory of the picked spell-bindcrs.
At the recent Republican gathering
a. Chicago, Frank B. Willis, formerly
Governor of Ohio, was nominating Sena-
tor Harding for the Presidency. Ohio
was far down in the list. The 10000
swe]tering person who crowded the
Coliseum had listened with only half
interest to more than five hours of
fervid oratorv when Willis, closing his
speech, said: "Well boys and gi,ls,
let's nominate Harding"
The friendly humor brought ready
response.
The next day. when the landslide
toward Harding began, an Ohio admircr
sentence on huge sheet of cardboard
dropped 1t from the gallery. 1t made
an instantaneous hit.
Earlier in the contest a negro dele
gate from Oklahoma, appearing before
the credentials committee at o'clock in
the morning to press his claims for a
seat, put new life into that body and
won his point by remark. Having told
how the Oily white" side had held it's
convention in a hotel from which
negroes were barred by the proprietor.
he said:
"Why, gentlemen, in Oklahoma there's
Jim Crowism' from the henhouse to the
hotel"
In the laugh that followed motion
to seat the contestant was carried unan-
imously.
