was fully discussed. and the senti-
rBents of the meeting were practically
unanimous In favor Of the boycott
The eastbouBd train was just about going
out when the meeting ended, and IL was
not interfered with. but when the train
from Portland, due at 1886 a. m, arrives,

be made TO run the trains with new men,
