Ex-Strikers Save a Train
By Editor
The Examiner publishes an account of how a Southern Pacific train was saved from a wreck this side of Los Angeles, last week, by ex-strikers. There was a landslide near Lang's Station; the ex-strikers learned of it, and by traveling four miles warned the station agent, thus saving the train from wreck and probable loss of life. The Examiner tells this as though especial credit were due to the men because they were ex-strikers. To ordinary men the deed will seem to be no more than what would be demanded of any man possessing the common instincts of humanity. The wreck of the train meant the probable loss of life of innocent men, women, and children. Who would not put forth extra effort to save a train under such circumstances? He is not worthy of the name of man who would not do it.
