Flagler's RR
To Key West

Is Theme Of
Train Magazine
January Article

The dramatic story OF the Florida
East Coast overseas railroad to
Key West is told in the January
issue of Trains and Travel, a
national magazine as the second
in a series Notable Feats of
Railroad Engineering"
Author David P. Morgan says:
'Henery M. Flagler went to
Florida for a vacation, but he
wound up building a railroad on
which you went out of sight of
land by Pullman car
1.-THE biggest thing that ever
happened to the State of Florida
was that Henry NJ. Flagler spent
a vacation in st. Augustine during
the winter of 1884 and liked the
place. In fact he was obSessed
with it Other men had been
caught up by the spell of Florida.
but Flagler could afford to enforce
his conjectureS with currency"
Finally he dared the ocean. 1t
was in April 1905 that his engi-
neers set out across the marshes
TO forge . steel chain, 12S miles
long, four feet eight and one-half
inches wide. Seven years later,
Henry Flagler descended from the
platform of the observation car of
the first train to Key West to
drive the golden spike at the end
of the long job. He died less than
two years later
The railroad was partially des-
troyed in the 1885 hurricane, and
could only have been rebuilt at a
tremendous cost. The bankrupt
Florida East Coast decided not 10
rebuild. The result was the build
ing of the Overseas Highway
which is now as famous through.
out the world as the train was in
its day.
The Florida East Coast rallwa y
carried passengers for . years.

ped off their pullmanS and walked
up the gangpiank Of waiting Pro
steamers for the so mills voyage
to Havana While three ear ferries

Local Union
Pickets Front
St. Restaurant
Will Negotiate On
Wed. With A And b
Lobster House Head

Local members of the Hotel
Restaurant and Bartenders Union
threw a picket line around the A
and B Lobster House on Saturday
afternoon, but they are called off
after but two hours of picketing
when Berlin FELTON,, owner of the
restaurant agreed to enter into
negotiations with union officials
here on Wednesday afternoon.
Union authorities maintained an
official wall of silence concerning
the exact reason for the difficulty.
They said that the trouble came
about simply because of "Felton's
failure to negotiate satisfactory
contract with the union"
However, the restauranteur said
today that he was mot enlightened
as to the reason for the picketing."
"YoU will have to contact the
union president to get that infor.
mafion--- ! don't know . thing
about it," he told neWsmen.
FELTON, did confirm the schedvl.
ed Wednesday meeting, however.
The local seafood restaurant
has been the center Of . stormy
labor situation since November.
1850 when the harfenders union
Pickefed the place.
At that time, FELTON, obtained an
injunction hating the unions activ-
tiles from Circuit Court Judge Ac-
quilino Lopez. However, the case
was carried to the State Supreme
Court where the unions right to
picket was upheld.
Union spokesman have maintain
ed that Felton'S has "deliberated-
ly given them the runaround'' in
their attempts at negotiating q sat-
isfactory contract.
Three placard bearing pickets
we're in evidence around the Front
Street restaurant Saturday but
when FELTON, contacted union re-
representatives.. the Wednesday meet
ing was agreed upon and the Kic-
kets were withdrawn.
