The great strike on the "Q," with a history of the organization and growth of the Brotherhood of locomotive engineers

Dedication

A history of the spoliations, robberies, and oppressions of corporate capital in America, is a history of shame, degredation and disgrace, not to be obscured in the halo of great achievements in material progress, though adorned by the splendid triumphs of science and art. It is tl^e impersonation of the passion of avarice, and no more soul-debasing passion afflicts the human race. It becomes more ravenous the more its maw is gorged; it always and everlastingly wants more; in growth it never reaches maturity,

The only T\rrr\ and determined resistance that has ever confronted this power Fjas come from the widely extended but fraternally combined labor organizations of the country; though not always successful in resistance, they have ever left the enemy too feeble to follow up a technical victory.

To that mighty bulwark that will yet stem the tide of corporate greed, and insure to the laborer a fair share of the produce of his toils, this book is respectfully dedicated.
