Telegraphers Strike Aboard Santa Fe Over Fake Order
About 900 telegraph operators on the Santa Fe system struck at 10 oclock in response to a forged order signed by Chief Ramsey. The hoax halted all trains from Kansas City to Galveston and left only one man at his post. The message was traced to Operator Barker who was fired after the incident. The strike ended when Ramsey declared it a forgery and ordered workers back to duty.
