it was yesterday morning. A few freight
trains are running on the division, but none
as yet have gons out of Bakersfield. The
strikers still refuse TO allow trains 10 come
here. They want 10 appoint committee
TO wait upon US, but not to allow the trains
10 start till this committee has been here,
We have distinctly refused TO agree to this,
and have told them that as soon as they
allow the trains to start we will be quite
willing TO confer with their committee.''
What do you propose to do?"

without just cause, and are acting in an un-
just and an unlawful manner, aud we will
not consent To their terms We are going TO
run our trains at once, and will use force if
necessary"
