The sympathetic strike spread like a
prairie fire and tied up twenty-four
railroads entering Chicago. $4,000
coal miners had gone out few weeks
before. These. all together, made a
terrific upheaval of three-Quarters of
a million men-one Of the biggest
crises Of labor history. The losses to
business were sSO,000,OOO, much of
which might have gone to make
Frank o. Lowden richer. The demo
cratic President Cleveland, saying the
strikers ''interfered with the mails"
sent soldiers into the railroad yards
in Chicago and elsewhere. On the is
suance of injunctions, the president
Of the American Railway Union, Eu-
gene Debs, was thrown into jail--to
study, and to learn almost to be a
revolutionist. The machine-guns were
turned loose. Rifle fire ratified and
raked and sputtered thru the railroad
yards, killing of the railroad men and
beating down the rebellion that
threatened to diminish the food Of
dollars that were destined to make
Frank o. Lowden great man.
Pullman Strike Crushed.
The strike was beaten. The mil
lions of the Pullman Company were
secure. Two years later, the happy
and wealthy daughter OF George M.
Pullman married the young lawyer,
Frank o. Lowden, and all the Pull
man cars became Lowden's cars, and
all the Georges" became Lowden's
servants.
The happy bridegroom had married

bilt and S. Seward Webb, under the
presidency of Robert T. Lincoln, son

Of the old rail-splitter. 1t was an
atmosphere to make presidents.
With time and the judicious use Of
the Pullman purse, Lowden became
governor Of Illinois. While -.e held
this office. in 1917, the crisis Of the
World War came, and Lowden showed
that the lesson Of 1894 had not been
lost on his then young and impress
sionable brain. When Lowden's fel-

of tonnage men at 40 thick seam mines
at which 2,502,S31 man-days of work
were performed during the year for a
total wage of S24,019,176.2S He con-
tinues: 1.-THE work at these mines was
well above the average for the state,
there being in the IL months I'll
starts. 1t is readily apparent that the
coal mined at these plants could have
been readily produced by not to ex-
coed $4,000 men. AS a matter Of fact
27,476 men were concerned in the pro-
duction of this tonnage and in con-
sequence there was an average dur
ing the year Of only 81 starts an in
dividual.
"Out of this total, however, 9,167
men 1884 per cent of the total) aver
aged 1853 starts, did 1,542,So5 days
work Cor 61.6 per cent of the total)
and drew down 63.S per cent OF the
total payroll, averaging 1886 day
or s1,659.s5 for their 16S days worked"
Only So Days Work.
This means that the remaining 49,
300 miners divided up the work get
ting only about So days work during
the year and earning an average of
$481.
Smiths idea is that this is not salts
factory to either miners or manage
ment. He wants the miners to see
things his way and cooperate in elm
mating the surplus labor in the In
duafrv What ha fails IN taJkQ into
account is the well-grounded suspicion
that there is an employers conspiracy
to force union districts to take up all
the slack created by the wasteful
management of the industry. From
this point OF view the attempt to
maintain all union miners is merely
an attempt to defeat a lockout.

stands a very strong chance to become
the president.
In this situation, the powers Of
Wall Street must make four nomina-
tions for president this year: two on
the democratic ticket covering both
presidential and vice-presidential Of
fices) and two on the republican.
VIce-President No Joke.
The Yice-presidency is no longer a
joker in the scheme of government.
This has definitely closed the question,
at first seriously considered, Of put
ting an "insurgent" on the ticket with
Coolidge in order to soften the harsh
note OF the little strike breakers can
didacy.
And so Mr.. Lowden may have his
chance. The husband OF all the Pull
man cars is just as safe rs the tanner
Of Boston policemen. Back, in his
history's hinterland looms the Pull
man strike of 1894, and the marching
troops, the injunction and the jails-ful
Of striking workers. There is the
smell Of powder about Lowden, and
the big bourgeoisie of America likes
the smell of powder in any man en-
trusted with its welfare in the near
future.
There is a lesson in Lowden, for
the workers. In the great political
movement which they are about to
start there will be much laundering
and many lessons for the workers to
learn. They are yet destined to learn
that their emancipation can only be
gained by accomplishing the complete
overthrow Of the Pullman and Nor
gan oligarchy; that the state power
Is but this oligarchy covered with a
cloak. That this type Of state pro-
vided by the constitution cannot be
used by the workers to rule the land,
but that in the hour of crisis they
must create their own class form Of
state.
Curiously enough, great issue has
been raised by Mr., LaFollette, who al
ready is calling out the slogan of con-
fining all labor political movements
to constitutional means. In this
Mr.. LaFollette is beginning a future
service to the oligarchy Of Wall
Street. Mr.. LaFollette is only So years
old. would venture to say that if he
lives to a ripe old age. he, himself, is
likely to see the crisis in which con
stitutional means" will be thrown to
the winds by both Of the two classes
struggling in combat that can mean
only the defeat and deeper enslave-
ment Of the toiling masses, or else the
downfall and complete crushing of
the class that is represented by Pull
mans millions" Mr.. LaFollette will
not see the big bourgeoisie falter be-
fore the need Of "extra-constitutional'
means. The workers have yet to learn
that II the big bourgeoisie disregarded
the constitution in 1894, and in spite
of it sent troops to shoot down the
workers, rather than loose a few of
George M. Pullman's millions-the big
bourgeoisie Of 1925 or 1926 or 1880, if
1t comes to the question of losing
completely the control of this entire
country with all its wealth, viii laugh
like Gargantua at legal means" and
will give the workers cold steel in
stead.
Mr.. Lowden, as a living reminder
of this lesson, would have advantages.

marck. He was in charge of tina
office as manager and operator a
the time of the Custer massacre.
The story of the wiring of The
news of that battle was told by Mr.
Carnahan a quarter of a century
later at Missoula. In reviewing the
details of the incident, he said:
"It was my fortune to be located
at Bismarck, N. D., as manager for
the Northwestern Telegraph COM
pany in the early part of that
towns history. Arriving there
early in the spring of 1874, I had
the pleasure of seeing the town rise
from what would be termed a
"wide-open canvas town." as tough
as the most degraded and viscious
character might desire, to a beau-
tiful little city of order and re-
spectability.
AT the time of my arrival, and
for several years thereafter, Bis
marck was the extreme northwest
ern frontier town. Fort Abraham
Lincoln, across the Missouri river,
nearly opposite, had just been COM
pleted and the Seventh U. S.
cavalry and a portion of an infan-
try regiment were stationed there,
while other troops were located at
Fort Hancock, on the east side of
the river adjoining Bismarck.
This was the terminus of the Nor
thern Pacific railroad, also of the
telegraph line, and remained such
until 1879.
Indians were plentiful and not
agreeable, SO we we're obliged to
confine our hunting expeditions to
the east side of the river, never
venturing to the west side. People
seemed to subsist principally on ex-
,itement of which there was an
abundance. One day it would be a
shooting, perhaps a murder, which
after a time became of SO frequent
occurrence as to create only pass
ng interest. The next would be an
scare, which never failed to
thoroughly arouse the town.
"It was about the middle of May,
.87o, when Terry's expedition left
Fort Lincoln for the purpose of
.ounding up the hostile Indians un-

The next morning I called III
Fargo and requested him to con.
meet us through to St. Paul, as was
the custom when we had an unusual
amount of eastern business. He
Immediately asked, whats up?'

turn gave it to Chicago, and SO on
to New York.
Returning from breakfast, pro-
badly half an hour later, the first
message received was from James
Gordon Bennett Of the New York

the massacre.

ployed in the St. Paul office, Will

them would receive from me, while
the other kept it moving eastward.
