Fl. T. Plotow, a member Of the media
.tion committee al Bakersfield, who accom-
panied them 10 this city. stated emphati-
ca1y at union headquarters to-day that

sion of their visit, saying: ''The msdia-
.stion committee at Bakersfield learned that
"a special train was coming south to Los
.AaGeles. and asked the Oakland branch
a. Il. L. Ior information about it. A re-
ply came from G. D. Bishop, secretary,
stating that no such train had left Oak
land. and the union knew nothing of such
proposed meeting here. The committee
was side-tracked at Bakersfield until a.
N Towne gave in to allow an A. R. U.
banner on the engine. They had a Pull
man. but we made them change to day

2. P. PIotoW, Los angeles: Our committee
waited on Gaylord and he positively refused to

Swain is afraid TO show himself Rickert and
Norman no good. CHARLES FINK,
Chairman of Committee.
. These men came here. continued Plotow,
10 work against us in the interest OF the
railroad company, but are too badly scared
10 show themselves now. They got as far
as Bakersfield in Pullman supplied by
thecompany, ana would only be too glad
TO run PuIlmans themselves. The two
-:cars OF dynamite are In the country on q
track leading to the asphaltum beds, in a
very convenient position for anybody to
extract their contents unseen. Their con-
tents have power to destroy many miles of
track, and, consequently. the railroad
officials are timid about them.
