has issued the following:
l desire to state in behalf of the American
Railway Union that this order had not the
remotest connection with the dtching Of the
train between Sacramento and Davisvile this
afternoon, by which several people lost their
lives. We condemn this act as outrageous and
barbarous, and entirely contrary 10 the spirit
of the A. r. u. which is engaged in an honor
able struggle in the interest of labor, ana is
opposed to violence or the sacrifice of human
life. II this act was done by sympathiZers, we
regret il the more, as il is ca aculaIed 10 injure
rather than help us. We sincerely trust that
this first act of violence will be The last.

Chairman of the Mediation Committee.
