The morning call., 1894-07-09

the freight trains got to do with the move
ment of Pullmans? l tell you that the
Government does not care continental
about what contracts the railroads have
with George Pullman, and it is not the
function of the Government to assist the
railroads in carrying out these contracts.
1t is the province OF the Federal authori-
ties to see to 1t that the laws are carried
out The pershable freight must be
moved. All freight must be moved, and
the Government is going to see to it that
the railroad fulfills its obligations to the
public"
Assistant District Attorney J. Il. Call
stands with Denis on this question. He
believes the people have rights. LOS
Angeles has suffered long enough" said
he, "a1d soms change has to take place,
and on that the Government is fully deter
mined. Beginning with this morning in
terest will be diverted from troops and
trains to the United States Court here.
Judge Ross intends to begin proceedings
at once against the railroad and first
against all the leading officials of the
Southern Pacific Company here and in
San Francisco"
The strikers are jhbilant over the state
ment of the District Attorney. for they
foresee victory on their side through the
timely action of the Government.
1--WE expect to see everything running
this week except Pullmaus, and that means
success for u.s." said one of them. "Rail-
road companies must run freight and
passenger trains or run against the Govern
ment. They can't escape from punish
ment otherwise. and to save themselves
they shall come to US. This action should
have been taken week ago, but 1t is bet
ter late than never. We are only too will
ing to 20 to work If the companies lay off
the Pullman cars, so the Government
can't hold us in contempt. 1t is the other
side now that will bear investigation, and
the Federal officials in Los Angeles don't
care a cent for railroads. There's San
Francisco man down there in train at
the Arcade depot for five days who will
bring suit against the Southern Pacific for
damages. He knows enough to employ an
attorney and try the case here when he does
enter suit"
At a late hour tonight the train for San
Francisco still stood at the Southern Pa
cifc depot with passengers and mails
aboard. How long it will stay there is a
question which not even Superintendent
Muir can answer with certainty.
A train from Albuquerque arrived with
a Pullman ear at the Santa Fe dep0t-an
overland with delayed mails.
Some excitement was momentarily Gre
ated by its appearance. but the platform
was guarded by soldiers and no demon

line is through this State and is open for
mails and passenger service.
Three companies of the Seventh In

the armory and are playing soldiers. They
wear Webb belts bristling with cartridges
and make up fiercely in gray slouch hats
and brown leggins. The Mayor says they
will go to Santa Monica beach for duty.
If anything the beach is nicer than Santa
Cruz, and bathing is excellent down there
these warm summer days.

The Council of Labor hall was crowded
this afternoon by members of various
labor societies Of this city. The purpose
of the meeting was to make further ar
rangements in organizing a military COM
