A QUIET SUNDAY.

A Day of Rest Out at tho San Fernando
Street Depot.
There was day of undisturbei calm
at the San Fernando street depot yes-
terday. During the morning quite q
number of tho men turned up and gath.
cred in knots and quietly discussed the
latest news from the east.
SIT is time that few non-union men
are working" said one of the media
tion committee yesterday, but that
does not worry us. We are perfectly
willing to have the company send out
what trains il can. These local trains
relieve the pressure on the outside towns
and do us no harm. II the company
has 80 many men who are with them
why don't they start the overlands? 1t
is hard thing to pick up frenen who
understand firing engines out here in
California. 1t takes man who under
stands the business to fire an engine
across the Mojave desert and
the engineers know it. They
don't care to go out on the road with q
buck fireman, and have their engine
burned out. There is no disposition on
the part of the strikers to interfere with
the company in the running of trains.
Ii they have got the men to do the work
let them trot the scabs out; we won't
harm them"
During the day several men who are
working on the Southern Pacific passed
the San Fernando street station on
cable cars, and were greeted with cries of
''scab," but no other demonstration was
mada.
The women in East Los Angeles are
taking quite an active interest in the
strike, and ono woman, whose husband
was somewhat weak-bneed, told her
spouse that if he scabbed in future he
could stay out of her yard.
One of the new features is the issuance
OF card for sympathizers with the
American Railway union. These are
sold iof 25 cents, the dues being optional
with the members. Secretary w. III.
Clune OF the local union has the cards
on band for distribution. and has dis
posed of quite large number OF them
already. They read as follows:
sYMPATHIzERs' AUXILIARY No. 1874.

les local unions of the A. Il. U.

noon kilograms of very encouraging
character were received from the secre-
taries of the unions at Oakland, Sacra-
mento, Benicia, Bakersfield. Caliente
and other points in the north, and tine
general impression seemed to be that
the next "a hours would bring about a
change in the situation that would be in
the interest of the strikers.
