 INTERESTING TALE
 ABOUT MACHINIST'S
Used Salvatoin Army Drum to Settle
 Strike in Chicago.
By James O'Connell, President A. F
 of L. Metal Trades Dept.


 Some 20 years ago, several thOus- and nachiniets in the city of Chicago were involved in general strike, for an increase in wages, reduction in the hours of labor and improved con ditionS Of employment. The strike had been on for several weeks and owing to the financial condition Of our international organization 1t was necessary that an carly settlement be brought about 1 called the execu- tive officers of our international to Chicago in conference with the cN- eCutiVc committees Of the strikers and we arranged for a conference with the employers. After several such conferences we secured com promise proposition from the em- pIoycrs. Our international officers and the local committees in charge ol the strike agreed that owing to our financial conditions and the fear that
 if a settlement was not made some Ot the men might return to work 1t was unanimously agreed to recommend to the men the employers proposition as basis of settling the strike.
 Owing to the large number of men
 involved it was impossible to secure a hall large enough where the men might all assemble at one time. Some one suggested that the Salvation Army had large tent on the West Side of Chicago that would hold sev- cral thousand people. We secured permission to use the tent and the meeting of the strikers was held in the afternoon. We were fearful that the strikers would not vote favorably on the basis of agreement secured from the employers. The gathering became so great and the day being exceptionally warm and with the en- thusiasm of the strikers running high the executives were at a loss as to just how to handle the meeting in order that a favorable vote might be had In going upon the platform at one end of the tent 1 discovered that the Salvation Army had left all their musical instruments upon the stage among them a large bass drum l immediately thought out a method by which we could use the equipment of the Salvation Army to aid us in securing a favorable vote. 1 called this to the attention of the officers on the platform and arranged with them to create an extraordinary noise with the drum and thus create an eXcep- tiona1 enthusiasm on the part ot the strikers when anything was said m favor of making a settlement. All agreed that this was a splendid idea and immediately the employers pro posal was presented to the audience. The speakers took the floor, for and against settlement.
