Chapter V
The following Monday all the men working on the city street car lines walked out. Not a car was taken from the barns, and a strange quiet filled the city streets. Comparatively few persons walked as far as the shopping district, and by late afternoon a footsore and weary procession wended their way homeward. The weather was much cooler and the boys, braced up by the breezes, spent hours over the wireless. During the preceding week some peculiar messages had been picked up.
