c. c. FRIENDS: can't help but tell Won of
the seven weeks campaign that the LIST u. 8
| I'M. mao In the southern part Of this State
against the strikers. On July at s g. M. we
arrived at Los Angeles, after being in the cars
| for So hours with belts on aud guns in hand. as
it was thought the strikers would attack the
train.
At Bakersfield they induced the engineer
and fireman to leave us, and we were DELAYED
four hours in desert under the brightest sun
ever saw, consequently everyone felt greatly
relieved when tents were pitched and our shoes
removed for the first time in 50 hours
The regiment was encamped in the railroad
yards. without the least bit of shade within the
| guard lines, and southern California not being
one Of the coolest parts of the United States. i
| was rather hard on the men. We had to escort
trains TO and from the city, while the strikers
were hurting stones and everything that thew
could lay their hands upon. and it was all the
soldiers could do to refrain from firing nto the
mobs.
Generally small dose of bayonet steel would
scatter them, but it was trying TO stand before
a lot of men who were brandishing reyolyers
| etc. before your face.
One night the rumor reached the officers that
the camp was to be attacked and the ammuni-
| ton car to be destroyed. so each man who was
not doing sentry duty received orders 20 sleep
under arms with 100 rounds of ammunition
