Our contracting freight agent on the Coast at that time was a fellow so erratic that he was nicknamed "Crazy-horse."
Right in the midst of the strike Crazy-horse wired that he had secured a big silk shipment for New York. We were paralyzed. We had no engineers, no firemen, and no motive power to speak of. The strikers were pounding our men, wrecking our trains, and giving us the worst of it generally; that is, when we couldn't give it to them.
