SACRAMENTO. July 21.-The media
tion committee of the A. r. U. held a
meeting this evening and unanimously
voted to declare the strike off uncondi-
tionally. They sent a short notice to
that effect to Supt. Fillmore. The mill
tary will probably remain two or three
days yet to look after a few hot-heads
who have been intimidating workmen.
Supt. Fillmore has already declared that
he will not treat with the strikers, and
no one will be discharged to make room
for them, so the position of the A. R. U.
men is not promising. The railroads
claim to have enough men already
to conduct its business, and many of
the strikers will not get back.
Just what effect this unconditional sur
render will have on other parts of the
state is not known, as the news has not
yet been received by other lodges of the
A. r. U. In Oakland there is every
prospect that the strikers will weaken.
now that their stronghold at Sacramento
is broken. When Oakland gives up the
fight, as it will probably within the
next twenty-four hours, the strike in
California will be thing of the past.
The action Of the strikers in Sacra :
mento was brought about by committee
of citizens, who showed them their
cause was now hopeless. and persuaded
the men to try and get back while there
was a chance.
Last Thursday Supt. Fillmore met a
committee of strikers and promised that
if the strike was declared off uncondi-
tionally all the strikers except those
who had taken all active part in the de-
strucsion of property, stopping of
trains and intimidation of the new men
would be taken back again into
THE EMPLOY OF THE COMPANY.
1t is believed Fillmore will keep this
promise, for, although the railroad COM
pany processes to be able to run the
road without the aid of the strikers, the
places of the old men are in many cases
filled by green hands, and the road
is not being operated as sat-
isfactorily as before the strike
Tonight the railway officials say all
their trains are running. The evening
overland train via Ogden was the last to
be reported. The train was sent out OH
schedule time tonight. A military
guard still escorts express trains. The
soldiers have been instructed not to
hesitate at shooting in the event of
attempted interference with trains. A
striker who attempted to cut an air
brake in West Berkley today is re-
ported to nave been shot and badly
wounded. Despite the assertions of the
strikers to the contrary, the railway
managers say large numbers of the A.
r. y. men are returning to work. The
position of the railway company was
explained by the following letter from
Mr.. Towne, issued tonight to commit
tee from Sacramento:
Your committee are at liberty to say,
when the strike is declared off, our
company will employ, in addition to
those in our service and few who are
coming to US under engagement, such
men as may be needed in our train and
other service who have not during the
strike willfully damaged railway prop
erty, or torcibly prevented our employees
from performing their usual regular
duties, each to be considered separately
and upon individual application, and to
be disposed of according to the merits
Of the applicant. The company will be
careful no individual suffers wrong or
injustice at our hands. Beyond this the
men must trust to the lenlency of the
company"
