An editorial in "The Presbyterian Advance of February was the unin- tentional means of bringing forth the following story which will be of great interest to many people i'll all parts of the country. To be sure, the editorial was misunderstood, for what 1t at tempted to do was to show that the spirit back of the violence at Harrison was parallel to the spirit back of the massacre at Herrin. H., last summer
 That this point was well taken is evil denced by the fact that The Citizens
 Committed of Harrison condemned the violence there just as the 'Presby- terian Advance did; therefore the editorial could not possibly have re- flected on the committee of reputable citizens, organized to assist in the en- forcement of law under conditions with which the regular officers could not cope, but only upon those guilty of the violence Nevertheless, "The Advance is glad that it's editorial was mlsun- derstood, because otherwise is might not have secured the following story. Its author is the Rev. W. F. Bradley, trustworthy Presbyterian minister of broad sympathies, especially with la Dor. He writes concerning his own po- sition ."No one at a distance can req lize the actual anarchy which has talk

eraI feeling in the community was that the management of the road at tbot time had disregarded the exis- fence of the Railway Labor Board, and had done the employees an mus tice in the arbitrary reduction to theif wages He refused to submit the case 10 the Board for adjustment, and on this ground the employees belonging to the Union went on strike. From seventy five to ninety percent or the nublic sentiment was in favor of the strikers. Practically every business and professional man in the community signed a petition asking the manage ment of the road to take these men back. but this petition was ignored as were all other appeals for compromise or adjustment of the dispute.
 AS time went on, other men took up inc work abandoned by the strikers. The sickening and demoralizing strug- gle between strikers and ''scabs" then began. It was not long until com mittees representing the strikers call ed upon their friends in the stores, hotels and cafea and insisted that they must stop all business relations with the .scabs' on pain of boycott and financial ruin. Rifts ill friendship began here, and widened until the en- tire community was divided either for or against the strikers. Churches, lodges, clubs. and even families were divided into hostile factions. In the meantime. six union officials of nation al standing, installed themselves in lordly manner. in the leading hotel of the town. and proceeded to direct the strike.
 It was evident that the local au- thorities could not deal with this situation, and on that account a Git izens Protective League was organized to assist in maintaining order Insults. intimidations and depredations grew worse and worse until two bridges were burned the same night at about the same hour. each about equidistant 0n opposite sides of Harrison. Opera ton on the road ceased for several days awaiting repairs. Outraged by this. the citizens, outside as well as inside Harrison came together here on a given day. and demanded that the union officials directing this strike leave town. They did leave without ceremony. Things quieted down for awhile only to break out again more hagrantly The continuous depreda tions and financial losses made it im- possible to operate the road longer. and it shut down after about five months of such struggle. While the public suffered untold losses and were greatly irritated on account of their plight, they did not take any retail atory measures nor do any acts of vio- lence to strikers or to their families. The road was imperative for nine during which time many peo- pie went bankrupt, and in the more isolated mountain sections many had to be fed and clothed by the Red Cross.

Finally the United States Govern ment extended loan of three and one half million dollars to the Rail- road Company with which 10 retire the receivership certificates and rehabili- tate the road. The Labor Board then took the matter in hand and offered the places back to the former em- ployees with seniority unimpaired," but on wage scale twenty-five per cent below the established scale on other roads, and with the provision that if the earnings of the road per mitted their wages were to be in creased accordingly up to the standard wage The public considered this of fer fair, since this is single. short line road, serving territory where the operating expenses are higher and the net income lower than that on the average railroad And too. the public hoped that the former employees would accept the decision of the board and return to work. But for some reason known only to strike leaders. who were getting the highest salaries in their lives to promote this strike. inc decision of the Labor Board was rejected and the strike continued At this, many of the strikers became dis gusted and went away to work else where Their number dwindled nearly one-half The public seemed convinced that it was not decision of the labor board that the persisting strikers de sired, but that they were determined 10 rule or ruin this railroad and with it the territory it served
 So far as the public was concerned the strike was over, but this did not end the trouble. A train loaded with live stock would have a bridge burned out ahead of it. The train would be compelled to back up to the stations. unload the stock. and wait another week for hipment-entailing loss and
