Human Nature in the Railway Strike
By Editor
ONE of the prominent men in the late strike in Oakland, a prominent member of the A. R. U., the organization which so heartily and persistently denounced the Southern Pacific Railway as most tyrannical and worthy of all reprobation, was one of the chief workers in a ward of this city in a late election for the "railway" candidate. We give this on the authority of the San Francisco Examiner, one of the staunchest friends of the striking workman. The ward in question is the home of many A. R. U. men, and the railway ticket was victorious. Now the "railway" ticket may have been all right, we are not discussing that phase of the question, but the railway is the same as it was before the strike; and this move on the part of the A. R. U. men has demonstrated that human nature is about the same everywhere, whether in the Southern Pacific Railway Company or the American Railway Union.
