VINO VIII undoubtedly shortly suffer re-
duction of wages. If the engineers should
strike the A. r. .. men would step in and
NIL their places without hesitation.
L. j. Roberts said that the only way in
which the engineers could get help from
the A. r. Z. would be by pledging them |
selves in writing TO fight until all were re-
lnstated. He said: Il do not believe
there will be strike, as they know their
places will be filed at once"
Another striker said: "The engineers
are now in the position that we were in
when the strike was on. They would
strike if they thought their jobs would be
safe. but that is the difficulty. Their att-
tude last summer was such that they can
not expect much sympathy from US if they
do get into trouble, and unless they ca u
get our boys to unite with them they might
as well throw up their hands as to at
tempt to strike and gain anything by it,"
a fireman stated that wages have al
ready been reduced three times since the |
strike by having additional mileage put on |
without corresponding increase in pay. This
party went on 10 say: eve used to run 10 |
Lathrop. 1884 miles, at 81 80 tor engineers
and 81 so tor hremen. Then The run was |
changed to MENDOZA, 17545 miles, nearly
double The distance. but the pay was raised 10 !
only SIS % and So 05. This was continued |
combined and got il raised to 81 and So SO.
'Since the late war; the officials are |
pleased TO call it, the crews are run TO Fresno,
2O945 miles, an additional thrty-fOuT miles, |
without any change IN the pay. Ii is under |
Stood hat the rate after the first of the year is
TO be reduced TO So 05 ana S3 % respectively. |
From this YOU can see how the changes Will
affect the train ciews. hope they will get all
they want this time"

lime a Ilch San franciscan STOCK broker, but
TeYerses came to him, which IL is thought
turned his head, and one day he was missing

so preyed on his mind as o make him kill him.

Recently he has again put in an appearance
at the place where he formerly stopped and is
creating no end OF trouble for the landlady at
The Lester House. Miss Madden.
When asked about his absence he said he had
gone 10 San Francisco the day lie disapprared /
but with the intention OF returning as usual.
He WIS taken sick in the city aud went 10 the
Cooper Medical College TO be treated. He was
all right in d little whe' but not able to return
that night. The next day he went 20 ranch
on the san Bruno road, where he had secured

regular visits TO the medical college for treat
m ent. he says that be is now almost entirely
cured.
But this latter statement is questioned by the /
Iandlady. Wh,n lie came back 10 Oakland be |
valuables and $4,000 in notes, and he threat
ened 10 bring suit against Miss Madden for their !
recovery.
H Earassed tn lady so much that she had |
10 threaten 10 have him arrested for insanity, |
and THIS threat seemed TO have the desired |
ef1ecl. for Sawyer has not since been back TO |

Sawyer acts very queerly. He seems worried |
over his future, saying his present employer is |
about TO sell out and that he has neither money |
nor friends.
