DIR. Ravlin was next introduced. He
declared he was in sympathy with the
strikers as tbei. cause was just. There
was no denying that we are nearing a
crisis. He declared that If the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads
could not pay their debts to the govern
ment they should be absorbed by the
government. He believed in govern.
mental ownership OF railroads. Refer
ring to the decision of Judge Ross
regarding tine strikers. he stated that
the men had hoen given the alternative
of doing their duty or resiguing. Con-
ductor Heartt had chosen tho latter and
he was arrested. What for? For obey

that tho money ring controlled nearly
all OF the authorities OF the country.
The 5000 national bankers OF this coun-
try controlled the officials from the top

Speaking OF the action OF the govern
ment regarding the equipment of the
trains, he declared thai the govern ment
tottered on it's very foundation.

Pullman did his duty, every wheel in
this country from the Atlantic to the
Pacific would be moving.
He stated that he would suggest to
the United States government, Judge
Ross and Attorney Denis that OF two
evils they had better choose the least.
They had better treat with George NJ.
Pullman. 1t would be far better to kill
him than to kill any OF you. ii that was
done, then there would be no use in
killing you.
He said that the thing for the men to
do was to stand firm, and they would win
in this great struggle.
Rev. w. G. Bowman was next intro
duced. Previous to his address he read
a telegram from Benicia to the effect
that Company G, First infantry, 81
men passed through going to Port Costa.
They were fully equipped, each man
carrying 100 rounds OF ammunition.
Col. Shafter and the rest OF the First
regiment will join them and all proceed

This was received with q volume of
Kisses. After which Rev. Bowman pro-
ceeded with his address. His remarks
were entirely OF political nature and
set forth the principles of the Peoples
party.
Lee Fairchild OF Washington was the
next speaker. He said it was not q
political meeting, for there were Repub-
licans and Democrats in the audience
who hated Geo. M. Pullman, and who
believed that the cause of the American
Railway union WAC just.
He said he did not think any regular
soldiers or state militia were going to
shoot at any of them, nor did he believe
that the cause OF labor was going to lose
in this great struggle.

marks the meeting adjourned.
