fusal by the strikers to obey the order OF
the court to run trains is construed by
Judge Ross as an otfense punishable by
law.
Crowds gathered to see the Barstow
train come in, but not single man raised
his voice. 1t was simply curiOusly in

was manned by scab crew and got away
from the depot without trouble. 1t started
for the south, but when Delano was
reached the men weakened and were
afraid 10 enter Bakersfield.
The train is still tied up.
Warner, the man who fired for the SOL
dlers' train, was taken out OF Bakersfield
in buggy, and later on was brought to
Fresno on light engine. Arrangements
were made for him a the depot hotel, but
the local railroad men soon ferreted him out
and tried TO see him. He would not
be seen and declared be would protect
himself. Not wishing to create any
trouble the boys waited until to-day. All
attempts to locate him have proved fruit
less. The other three men. Fisher,
Rogers and Far!ow reported to Superin-
tendent Frazier that they would not
pull any more Pulmans. They are now
well taken care of by the local brother

vertisements valued at S24,000 were with

were cancelled today. The landlady of

this morning and told she would have to
have him leave her house. The reason for
his bitter boycott is an editorial favoriDg
the railroad side and attacking the union.
The trades union held a meeting last
night for the purpose of organizing a mill
tary body which shall carry arms and be
to all intents an armed force. All labor
organizations were invited to attend, and
owing to the deep interest in all labor
movements, the Council of Labor Hall
was packed with earnest workmeD. A
resolution as follows was adopted:
RESOLVED, That we thoroughly sympathize
with the struggles of the American Railway
Union with organized capital, and that we are
organized for its support aud assistance, and
we believe in the maxim that an Injury 10 Ons
is the concern OF all.
At another meeting held tonight the
body was given the name Of the Los An
geles Independent Military Organization.
About fifty men were enrolled previously,
and as many more enlisted this evening.
Members explain shat the company is not
organized for fighting unless forced TO 1t.
and also that 1t is not unlawful.
Several secret sessions OF the a. r. U.
were held during the day, but no informa-
ton was given out by The members as to
what trauspired. Other railroad men not
members of the A. r. U. are contemplat-
ing special meeting tomorrow. at which
they are expected TO take action regarding
the strike, 10 which they are innocent par
ties. The A. r. U. men assert that their
brothers will not act against them while
the railway officials insinuate that all en-
ployes not in the A. r. U. are growing
tired Of enforced idIeness.
The Western Union wires gave extraOr-
binary trouble to the operators last night,
and in consequence of the strange condi-

from the Office here explaining why news
from the north was so meager. The man
ager said that one wire after another
would be connected with San Francisco.
A reply would come back aud instantly
the wire failed to carry messages. Every
wire took on the same queer popularity,
which was never noticed before. No ex-
preston of opinion could be got on the
subject. but there is a strong impression
here that the wires were tampered with

An order was issued by the Southern

referring to this incident. "They can do
nothing without all the union, and if they
do drop out we are the stronger for it, be-
cause we know test has been applied,
and the union stands together" Slight as
the detection is, railroad officials seem to
take heart over it. MIR. Burkhalter said
he had men enough TO take out several
trains, that the conductors. engineers and
others not in the A. r. U. were with

Seventy-ive engines are tied up In the
Southern Pacific yards and about twenty

there are miles of cars lying idle. The
ticket Offices are closed at depots and the

A rumOr was started that trains would

Dispatches received at the railroad office
AT o'clock state that the strikers who left
Dunsmuir in one of the company's trans
had Just reached Red Bluff. They are
armed with Winchesters and threaten to
wipe out the militia on their arrival here.
NO attempt has yet been made to inter
cept them. Railroad officials severely con-
denim what they term the treachery of the
militia in not clearing the depot this after
noon. They claim that the troops are
standing in with the strikers. and have
furnished the latter with ammunition.
This is mpnatically denied by General
Sheahan.
SIssoN, July 4.-Ever since word was
received to-day Of seventy five armed
strikers leaving Dunsmuir there has been
considerable excitement, and a call for
volunteers Is hourly looked for from Duns-
muir. Should such request be sent up
hundreds have expressed themselves as
willing TO take up arms and go to the
rescue OF the striking railroaders. Sup
plies are becoming scarcer every day, and
merchants refuse to sell more than linn
