Pass railway says there will be ten
stations along the road ready to be
opened at any time trains begin run
ming,
And that he has over 100 applics.
tions from railroad men for places.
That trains will be run within the
next two days.
Receivers Mcnamara and Yoakum
say trains will be run today.
Judge King yesterday perpetuated
al old injunction restraining any body
from interfering with the receivers in
| the operation of the road.
This was done to prevent any inter-
| ference of the strikers with other
train crews they might use to work
the trains and to protect company
property.
This was useless, as well as the
posting of nine policemen, six at the
depot last night and two at the round
| house.
The strikers say they will protect
the compsny's property, if necessary.
! They are not INDUCING in carousais,
do not loaf about the saloons and last
night the policemen had 1t all to
themselves, not striker being in
sight.
A large meeting of the trades coun-
| Gil of this city was held at Conven ton

Houston unions have also endorsed
the strikers.
The conductors on all roads running
to San Antonio held mass meeting
this morning in Odd Fellows hall. 1t
was secret, of course, but it Is known
that the object was TO take action In
sympathy with the 3. A. q A. P. and
Western Union strikers.
The Order OF Railway Trainmen will
have q meeting Saturday.
If all the Western Union operators
at Ell Paso are not reinstated, there
will be another walk-out, it is said.
If the committee of seven which
called on Third Vice President
TONNES, of the Southern Pacific, at

No trains movsd on the Arkansas
Pass up to one p. m. today, A train
was made up, deputy U. s. marshals,
policemen and Sheriff McCall's dep
uties were called for and supplied,
but the train crew of non-union men
could not be fonnd. 1t is said an
other effort will be made this after.
noon to run out train.
l. 1t is not known, but believed by
many, that the strikers appointed
committees to find these non union
men and induce them by all means,
not to attempt to work.
The preliminary examination OF
Conductor Luke and Engineer Can
! nant, charged with retarding the
mails, came up before U. s. Commits
sioner Price at 10 o'clock this MORN
ing, in the large court room, third
floor of the postoffice building The
room was crowded with spectators. |
Defendants were represented by
Messrs. Franklin, Minor and BROKER. |
The prosecution was In the hands of |
Assistant U. 8. Attorney Harry Ter |
reil.
The examination of witnesses pro-
! ceeded very slowly, the commits
sioner himself acting as clerk and |
taking down the testimony very slow
ly and laboriousIy. Superintend-
ent Sands was the first wit |
the story of the strike. He was fol- |
lowed by Ferdinand Bravo, the U. s.
railway postal clerk who was TO take
the mail car out Monday, the day of
the strike. He was on the stand
for some time. The examination bids
fair to be long drawn out, as there are
ten witnesses. The commissioners
rulings were generally with the u. 8.
attorney and undoubtedly the case
will be sent to the graz jury.
The strikers say all roads in the
country will assist them by not
handling Arkansas Pass railway
freight, even if the receivers do sue
coed in moving trains.
