The Telegraphers' strike - The Coast
Road and It's Develop
ment San d. ego
to Yuma.

James Campbell, president of the
Santa Monica Wharf and Terminal com.
pany, returned from San Francisco re.
Gently. In reference to his proposed
road from Inglewood to Santa Monica
he said yesterday to HERALD reporter
1.-THE road will be built, and built by
the Santa Monica Wharf and Terminal
Railroad company, and will be COM
pleted in time for the summer business
of next year. The delay is caused by
the Santa Fe. We have found it impos-
sible to make a suitable traffic arrange
ment with that company relative to
running our lines over Its tracks from
Inglewood to this city. That will be all
arranged, though. This talk about the
Santa Fe or the Southern California
taking our road is bosh. Neither OF
these companies has or will have any
thing more TO do with our line than to
take our trains between Inglewood and
this city, that is if we can make suitable
terms with them. So far the Santa Fe
has refused to have anything to do with
our road"
THE TELEGRAPHERs.
The condition of the strike of railroad
telegraphers is unchanged, says the
San Francisco Call. Chief Ramsey, of
the telegraphers, who went to Sacra-
mento on Wednesday, returned yester-
day, but would not outline any pro-
gramme which he may have arranged.
He stated that the two grievance COM
mittees of railroad employers from Tue
son and Los Angeles represent the divi-
sions to which they belong, and that a
conference would be held before the end
of the week.
The committees are understood to
have full power to act. 1t is stated that
the telegraphers will make a demand
tomorrow on the Southern Pacific COM
pany to withdraw its order forbidding
telegraphers in its employ from Joining
the order. The whole fight has been
upon this proposition.
The telegraphers state that they will
make formal demand upon the COM
pany, to learn whether or not the strike
can be peaceablY settled.
THE COAST LINE.
Regarding the Southern Pacific coast
line the San Luis Obispo Herald savs !:
Work has been steadily progressing
since our last report. Chief Engineer
Hood and a number of his assistants
were here on Sunday, and detachment
started south, and are now busily en-
gagged in personal examination in con-
junction with number of proposed
contractors, is viewing the line between
here and Elwood. At Santa Margarita
q large gang, in the pay and under the
orders of the Pacific Improvement COM
pany, have been engaged in building
the dam at the first tunnel to carry off
the water which will probably be struck.
The work is OF a substantial and per-
manent character, and will require the
placing of about 800 cubic feet OF con-
crete. The railroad company intend to
build the dam and waterway, together
with roads to the tunnels, 80 as to make
the bids from the contractors more clear
and definite. The first contracts from
Santa Margarita to the end of the Sec
ond tunnel, will be let on the 1st prox.
and the contracts for the remainder OF
the work to this city on March LOT
