@: The trains on the coast division of the
Southern Pacific still continue to run with
: what might be termed monotonous regu-
larity' in view of the reports given pub
LEFTY by the strikers Of their approaching
, victory in the present trouble.
Tie officials at Fourth and Townsend
streets have been so accustomed TO rumOrs
of an exrfavagaut nature that they seldom
pay any attention to them, but when a
telephone message came in from Oakland
yesterday stating that Debs had tee-
graphad to the mem bers Of the A. r. i.
in this city that the Pullman strike had
been settled one of the mead officials stated
thatif this was meant TO be construed as
an intimation that Pullman had agreed 10
compromise he did not believe there was a
word Of truth in it.
The message also stated that President
Roberts was authorized by Debs TO bring
about a settlement between the local A R.
. z. and the Southern Pacific Company. and
in regard TO this matter the same official
said thattse company would not trent with
the y. L. L. as a body under any cOnsid-
GRAFTON, but that the line of policy hitherto
mapped out and made public bY which
each nfan will be mel separately would be
strictly adhered TO.
g. The leaders," said he, "are making
IEduLlC ell IT'S 10 Keep llPlE men IN line IN
the ValG nope that we Will finally consent
to take back all of the strikers, and make
% distinction between those who have
remained inactive in the matter and those
who have been foremost in the work of
destruction. The sooner these deluded
individuals ascertain the enthusiastically
nature of their adviser and awaken to a
!. realiZstiGn Of the fact that the strike is
practically dead, the sooner viii they ap-
D.. preciae The exact condition of affairs"
Commencing tonight the Oregon over
land Will leave promptly at o'clock each
evening.
One of the Oakland strikers stated last
evening that there was no truth in the
Rim or that the strike is of. lie attr' buted
the report 10 the TACT that n dispatch had
been received from Mr. Dpbs which the
. lGca+ strikers refused TO make public, and
the repoTters had simply jumped al the
conclusion that the strike was of
Iris true that President Roberts of the
Oakland a. r. T. did not receive a te le-
gram from President DebS yesterday, but
. ! ills. equally true that the executive COM
niittce Of 1s union did. Wednesday after
nnou the executive committee teiegraphed
.Debs, asking him for Information concern
. fgg its power in the strike against the
Southern Pacific Company. The answer
to. this was received yesterday, and this
was the telegram hat caused all the hub
bub around the Point. After reviewing
the situation il stated plainly, leaving the
. Pullman difficulty without the discus
:, sion, that the local a. r. U. had power 10
decide by a majority vote what it would
do, go, back to work, all the men without
prejudice, or lot 90 back. There was 10
have been a meeting of the union on this
Telegram at once, but the men could not
be gathered together Just then
