stated that the railway telegraphers are
expecting an order for them to go out.
At IL P. NJ. West Oakland was as or
derry and quiet as any town in Califor-
MA. The crowds on the streets had gone
home, and what promised early in the
evening to be an ugly demonstration
against Engineer Jefferies proved to be
very mild. The crowd became tired of
using bad language and throwing stones.
The A. X. u. and the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers were still in ses-
sion. The engineers will indorse the
strike. but will not strike themselves un-
less they find some grievance. They
will refuse to work with scabs, and, in
dividually, will help the American Rail-
way Union men all they can. Division
Superintendent Wilder tonight con-
fessed that the outlook was very blue for
the railroad, and said that the company
would probably not make much progress
for the next two days.
The citizens of West Oakland held an
open-air meeting tonight and indorsed
the strike. Agitators from San Francisco
were present and spoke. They counseled
the strikers to commit no violence, but to
take care that no one hurt them.
TRAINS ENTIRELY TIED UP.
Los ANGELES, June 29.-Both the Santa
te and Southern Pacific systems are still
entirely tied up. Nothing is moving on
wheels except the trains on the Terminal
and the RedOndO roads, and extra trains
have been put on those roads to handle
the increased business.
All day yesterday and to-day large
numbers of men have applied for posi-
tions and signified their willingness to
take out trains with or without Pullmans.
In fact, it is said that the roads have more
applications than is necessary to operate
the trains at this end of the line. The
strikers say that by this strike there are
over 5000 men in this city out of employ
ment, from the engineers to the men that
sweep out the depots.

all trains without Pullmans were moving

confident that in this section trains will
be running on the Southern California
divisions tomorrow,

this city are joining the American Rail-
way Union in droves, and it is conceded
even by the officials of the roads that this
movement has made this organization
very popular among the men. The Off

stop work and quit his employment when
ever he chooses TO do so. he has no legal or
moral right while continuing in the
of another to refuse to do
the work for which he is employed and
engaged TO do, and where such refusal

those charged with its administration to
take every step requisite and necessary to
its vindication.
