announcement.

Local A. K. u. Act and Receive
encouragement.
There WIS a crowded meeting OF local
union 345, A. r. T., at its hall yesterday
afternoon and much important business
was transacted. It was reported that the
advices from outside points were in the
highest degree encouraging. and in every
instance the members Of the union were
showing an unbroken front.
The union claims to be more confident
of ultimate success than ever. and also
aver that before they shall fail in the at
tempt to right their wrongs the whole of
unioniZed labor of the coast will be called
out. The union men state that they are
prepared to call out all unions in sympathy
with them, but knowing the hardships
that must necessarily follow such drastic
action it will not be resorted to unless sue
cess cannot be obtained otherwise.
The following statement in reply to what
was regarded as the ins0lent tauDt of
Police Sergeant Whitman was prepared
for publication:
Sergeant Wittman's statement that the gentle
men belonging TO the a. r. Q. are down the
road doing dirty work because they are afraid
TO do any thing On account of them being so
closely watched in San Francisco, is false. The
members OF the A. r. U. can be accounted for
to a man and are in the city and have orders
from their executive committee to keep away
from Fourth and Townsend streets. The A Il.
Z. are not concerning themselves about
s. P. property and rumors of damage being
done or about to be done by the organization
are false and emln ate from the officials OF the
Southern Pacific themselves.
