THE INDUSTRIALS.
Another Division Being
Formed Here.
Much Indignation In Oakland Over
the First Shipment East-Reso-
lutions Adopted.

A second division of the San Francisco
Industrial Army is. now being formed in
this city, and unless some unforeseen i'm
pediment arises to check the plans already
framed, the recruits will be on the march
before the close of the coming week.
The instigators of the Initial movement.
after having seen their first delegation
well under way, returned to this city and
yesterday began preparations for the or
ganiZation of the second regiment. The
meetings were held during the day in the
Furnture-worker's Hall at 1859 Mission
street, at which but few. besides the prime
movers, were present. Discussions as to
the ACCESSIBILITY of following the course
pursued at the beginning were held. but
no final action taken.
In the original enrolment of the army
there were over 1000 names attached, of
which at least 400 remained behind, prob
ably through fear of a fasco or lack of
confidence in the management Now
that these have witnessed the success at
tanned by their more venturesome brethren
in securing free transportation it is self
evident that but little trouble will be ex-
perienced in forming a body, which will
probably exceed in number that of the first
delegation.
A number of the recruits of the first
regiment deserted the ranks of the
army and remained in Oakland under
promise of clothing and provisions.
These now claim that the leaderS were
given at least $780, which was to be dis
posed of in purchasing shoes and blankets
for the soldiers, neither of which have as

is in the keeping OF Colonel Baker, who

at the head of the moving regiment. was
in town yesterday on business, and ill.,
tended returning to Sacramento in time
to regain his command to-day. The hasty
acton of the authorities In shipping the
men overland came to him as somewhat of
a surprise, and as the train carrying the
men is now in the Rockies the general has
almost given up hopes OF catching up
although ne intends leaving for the East
this morning.
An endeavor will be made to secure
transportation for the second division to
Sacramento by water. Ii this plan fails
the men will be landed in Oakland, and
from there take the Central Pacific to
Washington. 1t will take several hundred
dollars to secure boats to convey the body
up the Sacramento River, and it is there
fore quite likely that Oakland will again
be their starting point.

scored for what was called their one-sided

was predicted for every ofice-holder who
helped carry out the Mayors order, while
that funrtonary himself came in for
