But probably the most gratifying piece
of intelligence which reached the railroad
officials yesterday was contained in copy
OF the following letter TO the public from
the hands of the Order of Railway Con-
ductors and Brotherhood Of Railway
Trainmen. 1t Is as follows:
To the Editor of The CaL: In the Chronicle
of this date appears the statement that the
Order of Railway Conductors and the Brother
hood OF Railway Trainmen have already met and
indorSed the stand OF the Amer lean Railway
Union. This statement Is untrue The laws
governing these orders render impossible any
Endorsement OF a boycott of this character.
There exists federation on the Southern Pa
cihe system OF the Order of Railway COnduc-
tors, Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
Railway Telegraphers ana Switchmen's Mu-
tual Aid Association. ANY action contrary TO
the laws of the Cedar Rapids plan of fedora
tion can be taken only by members OF these
organizations as individuals, and that In direct
conflict with their obligations. both to these
orders and the federation.
So far as the Order of Railway Conductors
and Brotherhood of Railway Tranmen are con-
cerned, there has been no Endorsement of the
AmeFican Railway lin inn buf totally oOntra
action. The following Instructions have been
issued TO the whole system aud speak for them-
selves:
ITO the chairman of all Order OF Railway Con-
ductorS divisions, S. +. lines, Pacific system: :
We have no trouble with the Southern Pacific
Company. Win you impress upon all our men,
bers In your Jurisdiction the necessity OF at
tending TO their regular duties and assisting
the company In getting its trains over the road.
The American Railway Union strike. while

is doing four.fold more injury 10 the Southern
Pacific Company. There Will be an endeayor
made TO start overland trains from Oakland
this evening in manner that will leave no man
open TO criticism from any falr.mnded person.

M"To the chairman of all Brotherhood Of Rail-
way Tralhmen lodges, Pacific system of the
Southern Pacific Company lines: The train
men have no grievance with the Southern Pa
cihc Company nor the Pullman Company, and
shall expect every man to do his work and live
up TO the agreement that we have with the
company. his strike, while aimed at the Pull
man Company, is affecting the Southern Pacific
Company to greater rxtent on this system
than it is the Pullman from the fact that the
Southern Pacific Company owns 75 per cent
OF the cars that run here.
as. E. SWAIN, General Chairman"
These instructions were fully indorsed nv
the local lodges Of the respective orders here.
II can plainly be seen that the stan taken
by these organizations is to attend to their own
duties, whatsoever they may be. Our men do
not go out Of their way to take other mems
places. They are simply required 10 go on
about their own business. We have nothing TO
do with the American Railway Union. 1t is a
new organization OF sudden growth, whose
avowed purpose is to absorb our membership
and so destroy the older orders, which have
been in existence for many years and have
been the means of obtaining for US ali the priVi-
lcges we now enjoy We believe that we have
too much at stake to take any such radical
