it was pending.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-12-22

pay for all overtime at the rate of 25
cents per hour, and at stations where
but one operator day is employed and
he should be called to exceed three times
in one night, it shall constitute whole
days work.
That the officials of the Atlantic and
Pacific did not expect general walk out
is certain, and that they met with very
large surprise party is evident, as every
operator from Mojave, California, to
Albuquerque, New Mexico, left his in
strument, and everything was at
standstill. The overland passenger
trains from Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco were sidetracked at Peach Springs,
Arizona, and could not be moved as full
trains, but the operators did not at any
time endeavor to obstrUct the United
States mail trains further than to de-
mand that the mail cars be detached
from the balance of the train and pro-
coed, but owing to the fact that there
was no one who would take the response
bility, they remained at Peach Springs.
1t must be remembered that it was
an impossibility for any official to re-
ceive message from any point on the
Atlantic and Pacific at any time during
the strike and in absence of instructions,
tlainmasters could not very we'll assume
authority.
At O'Clock p. M, Dec. 10th, 1891, it
was flashed over the wire from Albur-
querque, N. M, that the o. r. T. had
won the fight and everything asked for
sumo work, and within five minutes
from the time this notice was received
everything was moving, train orders be-
n froino rnnuinn ond in fvy
minutes no one would have known there
had been general strike on the road.
This is victory the 0. r. I. should
be proud OF, and too much praise can
not be given the train men, engineers,
fremen, brakemen and switchmen on
the Atlantic and Pacific, who stood
firmly by the 0. r. T., refusing to move
anything but the U. S. mail, refusing to
take train orders from ''scab" dispatch
ers and operators. In fact, these diff
ferent lodges held union meetings from
Needles, California, to Albuquerque,
N. NJ, and officially expressed them
selves in full sympathy with the strik-
ing dispatchers and operators. Put for
this powerful assistance the strike would
have been longer in progress and been
doubtful as to outcome. The 0. r. T.
also had full public sympathy, and had
the company attempted to run in
"scabs'it would certainly have Jared verv
badly with them. l herewith append
copy of messages sent during the strike.
but if published would request sigma
lures be omitted if you deem it not nee
essary to publish them. They will
prove that all sympathy was with the
operators from start to finish, and ii the
operators striking on the Southern
Pacific were as well organized, as those
on the A. and ?. there would be no ques-
ton as to the outcome.
Respectfully yours,
FRANK ALBERT.

BAKERS FIGHT FOR LIBERTY.
Afidavits on Which a New Trial
Is Asked.

Ed L. Bakers attorneys are making a
hard fight to keep him out OF the pen
itentiary. His sentence has been de-
ferred from time to time, partly because
he is wanted as witness against j. X.
Stump, who has been held to answer on
the same charge under which both he
and old man Hoy were convicted, and
for the further reason that his counsel
have been hard at work to secure suf-
fcient facts upon which to base mo-
ton for a new trial OF the case.
Yesterday was the day set for SEN
fencing Baker, and when the case was
reached, a motion for new trial was
presented to Judge Mckinley, together
with two atfidavits upon which the mo-
ton was based. One of the affidavts is
made by the defendant, who states that
since the trial he has learned that John
G. Hoy, whose testimony was very dam
aging, bore bad reputation in Tulare
for truth and honesty. The second
affidavit is. that Of E. NJ. Dewey, who
states that he is journalist, has lived
in Tulare county for twenty years past,
and was well acquainted with John c..
Hoy when he lived in that locality.
Affiant states that Hoy's reputation for
truth and veracity was very bad.
Judge Mckinley continued the mat
ter until today for further hearing.
