Very clear idea of what th.e strjka ' is
really about and what 'manner ot'peo
pie the strikers aire, f A magasine editor
asked! me what, kind of men were jtrlk
tng. He seemed W hv jna 4daa that
they were some special reed or pjan.
As a matter of tact they are, the most
Ordinary, men imaginable, ffhey' are just
average railroad- - men and.' everyone
know that they are Just folks, -
Some few of them are violent and In
clined to revolutionary v talk. Most of
them are conservative, auief. a Utfle.blt
frightened by. the 'magnitude of.-the
damage they are doing, very much hurt'
py the charges that; they are : revohii
iionary, bewildered by so great an op-
position from press and publid and'
grimly certain that they are in the right
jnbrally as well as every other way. ' .
'- They are suspicious as children play-
ng : Indian. - Every atranger that comes'
pear their headquarters is Spotted and
very openly? shadowed. All afternoon
two strikers shadowed me around Jer
sey City. I Identified myself to them
and they looked at my papers with in
terest but kept on fallowing me. -
we think you are what you are an
light,? one of them explained at length,
"but we waa told to watch you and we
got to! obey orders. v
It is an rather pathette. There may
be despicable demagogues and danger
ous radicals' at work, among the men,
but certainly most of ' them ' are like
scared, hurt children being ostracised py
their playmates. "
