with roars of applause.
George Walton. chairman Of the meet
ing then read the dispatch of c. P.
Huntington, received In the morning,
commenting upon it as he read amid The
laughter of those present. He referred to
MIR. HuntiHgton's paternal feeling for his
employees and said ha probably found a
hard time keeping the wolf from the
door of his family. At this an earnest
member stepped to the front and asked.
"Mr. Chairman, when family do you
refer to-the one in America or the one in
EuropeP Mr.. Huntington has two fami-
lies and taxes Americans S., 600. 0O0 a year
TO send to Europe to keep the wolf from

dispatch from Bakersfield No. 155,
American Railway Union, was read order
ing general strike in that section. The
announcement was received with cheers.
Soon after this Thomas Roberts. the
leader, appeared in the room and was
loudly cheered. He mounted the platform
and read the various dispatches and then
stated the results of his efforts on the
Alameda narrOw-guage. II haven't got
much to tell you," be said. The men
didn't feel like quitting in the middle of

men go to work in the morning. They'll
attend the meeting tonight and see what
you are like. We tied up the narrow
guage for time and that's the best we
could do" The meeting then adjourned

him out, on the plea that his fireman was
a real fireman. Thomas Roberts. the
A. K. U. president, rode down one trip
with Jefferis and Duane. aDd succeeded
in persuading the latter to leave the en-
gine. Jefferis promised to jump off at the
mole, but did not A Mexican boy was
engaged in place of Duane. and Jefferis
excused himself from leaving his post on
the plea that he had fireman. Roberts
tried TO persuade the Mexican to leave,
and had made some impression, when the
Deputy Sheriff in the cab ordered him off.
Whenever the train stopped after that
dozens of strikers would try their elo-
quence on both Jefferis and the fireman,
but without avail.
At IL o'clock an attempt was made to
get the Berkeley local out with a nom
union fireman, but the switch refused to
work from Tower and the train had to
back up into the depot The Stockton
train got In about 10 o'clock. A Pullman
was attached. The crew quit work as
soon as the depot was reached. There
was non-union fireman. Bedisappsared
as soon as the train entered the sheds.
The depot was practically blocked with
trains. There was no one to move them
to the yards or to take the luggage out of
the vans. Lines of trucks were to be seen
with no one to handle them.
Tons of mail lay in the various mailcars
and the mail clerks shifted watches as if
they were on the road. Superln tendent
Flint of the mail service spent the best
part of the morning at the mole. Like
every one else he was powerless to do
anything.
Il do not know what we snail do" he
said. "The mail is accumulating here
very fast" 1t was very easy TO see that.
Mail was piled on trucks and on the plat
form. and there it seems it will remain for

reading as follows;

freight-handlers, yardmen and the shop
workers failed to report for duty in the
morning. Scarcely dozen men reported
at the carsbops, and at noon the COM
panY's officials at Fourth and Townsend
streets sent Superintendent of Repairs
Ludlow around to shut down the shops.
Then the few men who were at work put
on their coats and went home without a
word. It was denied by the officials that
they had to shut down the shops on ac-
count Of the lack of men, but it was patent
10 the observer that there was not a
bakers dozen at work in the early morning.

on duty In the railroad service was ln-
creased to seventy-fEe. This was rem
dered necessary because manv of them
were required at the mole and because the
solitary Berkeley local and Seventh-street
local had to be furnished with Deputv
SheriffS TO protect the fremen. The depu-
ties at the yard were formed in strong
Gordon all around the premises and no
strangers were allowed within the prem

George Walton. the chairman, gave a re-

SAID Mr.. Walton, more than the conflict
with Pullman and his employees. 1t is the
beginning OF the fight between labor and
capital so long promised. We are
fighting for principle. for the iDalens BILE

for that labor at a rate that will allow him
to live like man. Are we going to stand
by and be robbed of our rights Ii not,
we must all stand together. Our interests
are one. 1t affects the merchant and
every line of business. 1t Is because labor
is underpaid or unemployed that trade is
depressed everywhere to-day. We must

sided and g. d. Bishop acted as secretary.
After some discussion, a proposition to
take steps to compel the Southern Pacific
Company to run mail trains was laid on
the table. William WatkiDson, a Council
man OF Oakland, was introduced and made a
speech. in which he couns eled the men to
be moderate in their actions. Keep

there is any attempt at disorder, put it

He says they are not necessary, nor the

with cheers.
Charles Hall, tower man of tower 2, was
introduced as "the only tower man who is

had no grievance against the company,
but it m ight be that after the strike was
over they might cut bis other arm off.

years OF hard work we have been able to build
up system of schedules and agreements with
the Southern Pacific Company that are too
valuable TO risk without good and sufficient

We are simply staying with our law as it exists.
We have no choice. We are mindng our own

1t not for the fact that this gross mlsstate-
ment appeared in this mornings issue. We
have no ill-feellngs against the men who are

US. There seems to be widespread feeling
among the public that 1t is fight made by the
whole of the railroad men, but the 1act is that

railroad labor In the past have nothing to do

latter. In the mighty work OF redemption
the lncarnate Son Of God is the center.
Toward him the historic movement OF Old

THE HISTORIC CHRIST.

The oppositions to Christianity are
always substantially the same but their
modes vary from generation to generation
Now it is coarse vulgar inlidelity, then
refined, cultured skepticsm. Now it is
deism, then rationalism. Now pantheism.
then agnosticism. In the present hour more
especially the questions raised are: How
much of this we call the Bible is divine
thought, and how much human? What
portions, if any, have been communicated
in such manner that in their case no error
can be allowed? Or, shall we estimate the
Bible out and out a human production,
much that is WISE useful and uplifting,
but which it remains for the reason of man
to separate from the foolish, worthless and
degrading as the thresher sits the wheat
from the chaff?
Again, what are the contents of this
book? Are they wise deductions from the
past experiences or intuitions of mans
higher intellectual power, or are they
original communications from God through
personal agency? Furthermore, are the
facts recorded in this book such as belong
to natural order of things, or are they
prominently supernatural Who is the
Christ of the Gospel? Merely a man most
highly endowed who succeeded better in
doing right and good than any member of
the human race has ever done, and whose
teachings are the insights of genius which
always possesses in larger degree the divine
afflatus? Or, is the Christ Of the New
Testament vertically God manifest in the
flesh? A real incarnation through which
exists, and only can exist, the person who
is the unity of a true human and divine
nature? This is at last the crucial ques-
ton.
The religion of Jesus is what he is in the
essence of his existence. If he is really and

The End Of the COxey Move
ment.

Coxey has left Washington and
come home, in, perhaps, better con-
dition, financially, than when he
started, but how about his deluded
followers?
Before he left for home he visited
them in their miserable camp near
Washington and advised them, in
effect, to go on the streets of Wash
ington and beg, to the end that they
might be arrested and so fed at public
expense, and that he could do nothing
for them.
There is no great surprise in this
ending of the movement. The dupes
suffer, not only the natural effect of
their own foolishness, but the desertion
at their knavish leader.
The dupes suffer, the leader thrives.
He played on their credulity and
moved his so-called army far from
their homes to Washington when he
must have known that nothing could
result save little transient nOtoriety
for himself, and the meager profits
arising from lectures parading the
credulous foolishness of his followers
before the public.
The Coxey followers are to be pitied
because they have been so foolish.
Coxey is the rascal who deserves to
be condemned. The case of Debs is
not greatly, different. Debs and
Coxey are at home, each in easy conf
fort, with money and good health be-
hind him. Their misguided followers
alone are the sufferers. 1t is to be
regretted that there is not some way
of making an example of Coxey and
others of his kind.
