Sunday, November 10, 1901. Gulf Oil and lame railroad anti labor excuses.

The train carrying Emperor Meiji almost collided with another train stalled on the same track, when the Traffic Section Chief at the Semine Station allowed the Imperial Train to depart. 

This resulted in the dissolution of the recently formed labor union of engine drivers, the Kyoseikai.

Gulf Refining Company was incorporated in Texas.


I well recall Gulf. It went out of business in 1985, right about the time my career as a geologist was rapidly going out of potential business as well.
