AT THE SANTA FE.

AT THE SANTA FE.
There was not the slightest indication
around La Grande depot yesterday that
there had ever been strike. The trains
went out and arrived. with two excep-
tions. as they have done for years, with
the exception of the two weeks during
he strike.
The applications for positions were
more numerous than on any previous
day. Superintendent Beamer was be
sleged by men whom he received IN mis-
usual genial manner, but there were
few who were given preference over the
former employees.
The Santa Fe overland trains are now
running on schedule time. One arrived
at the usual hour yesterday and another
last evening. All local trains except the
kite-shaped local, which departs at 4 40
via Orange, were sent out on time. The
freight traffic ia almost restored, treights
coming in as ususi yesterday.

MR.. CALLS STATEMENT.
Special United States Attorney Joseph
H. Call stated yesterday that several
days ago he was misr epresented in an
interview. 1t was intimated by the
statements attributed to him that the
United States attorneys had only pro-
ceeded against the railway companies by
serving injunctions when it was found
that those against the strikers did not
aid in moving mail trains. Mr.. Call,
with United States Attorney George j.
Denis, spent the whole of two days in
examining into the law and it's applica-
bility to the situation when trains
ceased running. AS is known. they pre-
pared an injunction which was issued
from the United States court upon the
strikers, and "all Others" warning
them not to interfere with the moving
OF trains. Two days later similar in
| junction WAS served upon the railway
ofticials, and ever since then the grand
| jury has attempted to get evidence to
zee whether the officials we're at fault in
failing to move the mails. The railways
and the strikers have been treated alike
| by the government. which proposes that
all ehall suffer alike ii found guilty OF
violating the law.
TO CALL THEM OUT.
Secretary Olune of the A. r. U. yes
terday emphstically denied that the
Southern Pacific irsmen had applied in
body for their old positions. He said
| it was true that some OF the fremen had
gone back. but that the most OF them
those who had the principles of organ
| lied labor at heart-were still out and
would remain 60.
He said that meeting in Chicago OF
the executive committee, consisting OF
members from the engineers, firemen,
conductors. brakenien and the Federated
Trades was called, at which it is ex-
pected to ask all employees to step down
from work. This, if carried into effect,
| will result in the strike of ell union men
OH the roads.
Mr.. Clune stated that the superin-
| tendent of the Southern Pacific had sue
ceeded in inducing the engineers and
! conductors to return to work, and now
wants the fremen to fall in line.
MEETING OF A. r. U.
At a meeting OF railway shopmen and
switchmen yesterday afternoon, it was
decided to still hold out. Resolutions
were adopted commendatory of the
strikers and their cause.
