The record-union., 1894-07-23
q. Stand pat he said, and

we did.
"a lot of these same fellows that de-
ceived Knox are sore yet. They are say
ing that we have no right to declare the
strike of, and that it must be done by
Knox. The trains will be all running to-
morrow, though, and not many OF them
will be manned by scabs, either.
Since the other mem bers of the COM
mittee have been arrested / have been
acting upon it. A day or two ago dele
CATION composed of a representative of
each department came to us and told US If
we did not do something to bring about
settlement they would take the matter
out OF our hands. So We turned the whole
thing over to the union. The boys set
tied it this afternoon, and | am glad they
did.
II know as well as anybody that we
could not hold out much longer. Men
were going to work every day. To be
sure, there was only few American
Hallway Union men who went back, but
there are lots of railroad men here who
do not belong to the union.
Il understand that the railroad intends
putting every body back TO work except
ing those who destroyed their property,
or were particularly active in the strike.
But they have told the men that they
must be patient. A good many will not
be needed right away, and they will have
to wait until they are.
They talk about US not having the
right to call this strike OFF. Well, | don't
think the strike was ever called correctly.
NO vote OF all the men on the system was
taken. The order came for us to tie up
the trains, and we tied them up"
Governor Markham paid an official
visit to the camps or the First and Third
Infantry Oh Saturday afternoon. He also
visited General Sheehan's troops at the
Capitol, and salute of seventeen guns
was fired in his honor by Light Battery b.
DEBs WAS WEARY.
A Chicago dispatch states that on SAT-
urday night a note was sent to Debs' cell,
informing him of the decision of the en-
ployes OF the Southern Pacific to return
to work, but the tired leader could not be
disturbed by such a trivial matter, and
sent back word that "he knew nothing
about the Southern Pacific strike, ana had
nothing to say"
RESUMPTION OF BUSINESS.
There has been a complete return to
business on the part of the railroad COM
pany. All passenger trains are running
on schedule time, and freight is being
forwarded and received as usual
There were about $50 men at work in
the shops on Saturday. but the number
may be considerably increased to-day,
now that the hallway Union has no
strings on its members.
On Saturday about twenty of the old
switchmen returned to work even before
the strike was declared off. They would
all have gone back, but the railroad COM
pany declined to deal with them as a
body, and accepted only as many as they
needed.
GENERAL DIAMOND HERE.
Major General Diamond came up from
San Francisco last night TO view the
strike situation, so far as the troops of the
National Guard are concerned.
After he had registered at the Golden
Eagle Hotel he in company with Adju-
tant-General Allen and Brigadier- G en-
eral Sheehan called on Governor Mark
ham at his rooms at the Sutter Club,
where a conference was held relative to
the probable return of that portion OF the
National Guard now in active service.
No definite conclusion was arrived at,
and another meeting of the Governor
and the military officers will be held at
the Governors office at 10 O'Clock This
morning.
GENERAL NOTES.
The railroad company on Saturday
paid off the men who had not received
their money on the preceding day. Those
who demanded what was due them for
both May and June were given certifi-
Gates for the latter month which they can
have cashed.
James Simms was arrested on Saturday
on the charge Of obStructing the United
States mails. He is one of those accused
of having cut loose the train which Mar
shat Baldwin was about to take out on
the Sd instant.
David Knox was also arrested. 1t is
said that he was heard to make the re-
mark, before the train was wrecked on
the llth inst, to the effect that it would
not go many miles; also, that Sacramento
would be illuminated.
T.. Hilton, one of the striking railroad
employees, was arrested at the south end
of the Thi rd street bridge by sentry for
intimidating one of the men returning to
work.
Judge Catlin on Saturday dismissed the
habeas corpus proceeding of Emil Bach,
the prisoner having been admitted on
$1,000 bail to appear before the Federal
Court in San Francisco.
Law-abiding Mr.. Knox, now in jail at
Woodland. denies that he sent to Willows
on the 7th telegram appealing for armed
claimed that he was law-abiding, but
arms and ammunition were found in his
headquarters just the same.
The Folsom Telegraph states that a
great many OF the men engaged in the
strike had been up there camping among
the hills. They said they did not care TO
remain in Sacramento because they had
no desire TO mix in any row that might
occur here.
Those of the prisoners arrested by the
United States Marshal who have not
given bail have been sent to San Fran
cisco, where the United States Grand
Jury will consider their cases.
This strike business" said one citizen
to another, must be a species of disease"
"Y es," replied his friend, ''of the Pull
manary kind, but Uncle Sans blue
coated doctors stamped il out pretty
id quick in this city,"
Yardmasters Halloran and Newton are
greatly relieved now that there are plenty
of switchmen at work. Ever since the
strike commenced they have been doing
the work of several men. 1t is safe to say
that Superintendent Wright has not been
unmindful OF their valuable services and
their loyalty.
A young man was arrested by one OF
the sentries at General Sheehan's camp
Saturday for refusing to keep away from
the guard line, and was kept a prisoner
in the guard-house until sundown. After
guard-mount the prisoner was placed be-
tween the old and new guards and Major
| w. III. Sherburn, who was the officer of
the Day, gave him a stiff lecture. He
told him if he was ever caught again
interfering with the duties of the sentries
he would be severely dealt with. He
was allowed to CO.
