Eccles' store. and here is where they
congregate.
Mr.. N. II. Clune is the secretary of
the local order OF the American Railway
union, and naturally to him all OF the
kilograms and comm uicetions are ad-
dressed. From the top clean to the end
of the rank and file the men are reticent
and almost always claim ignorance OF
everything. Mr.. Clune statsd last night,
however, that in ordsr 10 facilitate mat
ters it was proposed to appoint o press
committee to whom the reporters could

on all that was taking place. The A. r.
U. will hold meeting today some time
when this committee will be selected.
At this meeting number of matters
are to be presented for action and doubt
less some petitions will also be formu-
lated setting forth the side OF the organ
ization. The membership is growing at
a remarkable rate, as about $50 mem

everyone seems to take hand in help

The Road Is Completely Tied Up by the
Strikers.

The Road Is Completely Tied Up by til Q
Strikers.
The situation yesterday was doubly
alarming when it became known that
the Southern Pacific was tied up along
it's entire system. Not a wheel was
turned except On the arrival Of the New
Orleans overland last night, and the
prospects for today are no more en-
couraging.
The train which Superintendent Fill.
more and A. N. Towne personally started
from San Francisco was tied up near
Sacramento, and not an engine ia NOV
ing on the great system.
The strike on the Southern Pacific was
caused by the discharge of three men at
Oakland who refused to haul Pullman
cars. As usual the HERALD was the
frat to give an accurate account OF the
strike on this road yesterday.
There WAS scene OF stagnat:on about
the depots. yards and shops that was
distressing. A few incoming local trains
were allowed to reach their destination,
but there was no attempt to send out
trains. There were, consequently, more
disappointed picnickers at the Arcade
depot this morning. The Congregational
Sunday school had party OF 30 ready
to go TO Santa Monica, but the company
had to turn them over to the Terminal
TO take down TO Long Beach instead.
Unless the situation changes tho
Southern Pacific will not attempt to
move a train today.
NO FREIGHT RECEIVED.
A dispatch was received from General
Superintendent Fillmore yesterday
morning ordering this division OF the
Southern Pacific to stop receiving freight
at all points and 20 lay off all the clerks
and warehousemen until trains resume
running.

receive any live stock or perishable
freight until further orders.

sat With intent ear, and the sience OF
the courtroom WAS like unto that OF a

All WAS attention.
Finishing the charge to the jury, Judge
Ross ordered an adjournment of the
court until next Monday at 10 80 O'Clock.
The grand jury then went into session
aud were addressed by United States
District Attorney George J. Denis rea-
tive to the situation. The jury immedi-
stely began an Investigation. and during
the entire afternoon some of the strikers
and others were taken before the body
or were questioned by the United States
district attorney.
As court will not be convened until
Monday, it ie not likely that the grand
jury will decide what to do before that
time, unless in case OF extreme neces-
sity. In such a case, other steps may be
taken by the federal authorities.

great masa OF the American people are
law-loving and law-abiding, and will

greatest foes of labor in our country.
Every effort for Cancellation has been re-.

that the Southern Pacific company have
made arrangements to run three trains

dent to declare a general tie-up. The

Quite number of merchants
aud citizens held a meeting We'd
nesday night to protest against
another meeting composed of mer-
chants and clerks, whose object
was to enforce the Sunday law.
The last meeting think it is the
duty of the officers of the law to
enforce the law if they can, and
not private individuals to perform
that duty. 1t is therefore clear
that some people favor the ell
torcement Of the law, while others
protest against it.

The Democrats who preach
and argue so much about white
Supremacy are sometimes moth
ing but hypocrites. Not only are
they hypocrites. but they are false
to the doctrine they preach. The
Foster gang of white supremacy
democrats of st. Mary parish, who
control the political machine, have
against the will, appeal and pro-
test of the white republicans of
that parish, appointed negroes as
commissioners of election, when
good, honest and honorable white
men we're recommended to them.
Who is then practicing and esta-
blishing negro supremacy, Is 1T
not the traitors who speak so

ALL SAINTS DAY.

Thursday, the day of the dead.
as is customary was religiously
observed by the people of this
parish. There was services at the
Catholic church in the morning
and evening, and also a process
sion to the cemetery at 4 o'clock,
for the benediction of the tombs.
The number of people in town
for this occasion was unusually
large, they came from every part
of the parish, to place upon the
grave of some dear departed
friends or relatives some tokens
of remembrance and regret. The
decorations were as beautiful ele-
CANT and appropriate as in former
years. It was really pleasing to
the visitors of the calm city of
the dead to see how the living re-
membered their poor dead.
The inscriptions on these to-
kens of remembrance and the sad
and pitiful expressions of the sor-
rowful parents kneeling by the
side of the tombs were pictures
that showed the sadness in the
afflicted hearts that dropped some
sorrowful tears. Some Of these
pictures were really sad to be-
hold.
All saints day is one of the
most observed feasts of the Gath
Ollie church.
