strikers, and the string of lighted
cabooses is longer each night.
Chairman Ed Killer returned from
San Antonio Sunday and on being inter-
viewed said that nothing new could be
said on the situation; that the strike is
no nearer a solution than when it first
started; that all the railroad employees
of all the roads in San Antonio, and SO
for a. we can learn at every other con-
Meeting point, positively refuse to han
die Sap freight until the strike is settled
satisfactorily to the strikers; that the
strike has just commenced.
Others of the strikers, however, ex-
pressed the opinion previously reported
that it would be settled in few days.
The strikers say that all freight from
the Sap has been positively refused by
the train men at San Antonio, West
Point, Wallis and Eagle Lake, also that
the Sap has not yet got freight traiu
into Waco
a reporter was requested to deny the
report that one of the engineers was 60
ing back to work. interviewing the en-
gineer referred to, he did not deny the
report, but said he did not know any
thing about it and that he had not re-
ported for duty.
One Of the guards named Alwine acct
dentally shot himself about 8 o'clock
Sunday morning. He was STOPPING over
washing his face when his pistol 40
calibre, fell out of the scabbard and was
discharged, the ball passing through his
right shoulder and lung and coming out
through the back, inflicting a dangerous
wound from which he is not expected to
recover.

A meeting was held by the strikers on
the question of the merchants selling to
new employees at which it was finally
decided that the strikers interpose NJ
more objections to the merchants selling
to scabs or anyone else. Some of tn,
merchants were already selling them
and it was decided that it would be un
Just to place their friends at disadvan

buy what they needed elsewhere the,
might as well have their money in tn
