The A. K. u. strikers who had to resign
their positions formally on the Santa Fe
are being paid off. Tney sign the receipt
for pay and then a red-ink line is drawn
through each name, which is thing OF the
past so far as the company Is concerned
This red line, drawn before the strikers
eyes, has an effect and the men know what
1t means. A large number Of "scabs"
we're discharged to-day at the Santa Fe
depot and in their places union engineers,
hremen, brakemen. yardmen and conduc-
tors reported for duty. The old men were
reinstated. with good will and jokes at
their expense for having lost wages. The
strike is virtually over on the Santa Fe
system.
Superintendent Sheedy Of the Southern
Pacific Mechanical Department. stated to-
day that over Is per cent of the Southern
Pacific engineers have reported for duty.
There is no scarcity of experienced
hremen," said he, land we already have
twenty tlremen on duty doing good service,
and still have sufficient experienced men
to come up to the number of engineers.
Only four of our old fremen have re-
ported TO us so far, and l believe not one
of them is an American Railway Union
maO."
A considerable falling off in the carrying
business is looked for by the railroad Off
Gals on account of the strike, and so the
present force of men actively employed
will be sufficient to handle all trains.
The a. r. U. firemen formerly en-
ployed on the Southern Pacific held a
secret meeting to-day at Firemen's Hall.
They had been in session the night before
till O'Clock in the morning. and it is un-
derStoOd that the session was exceedingly
stormy. The question under consideration
was of returning 20 work, which has agi-
tated many strikers since the Southern
Pacific officials announced that a new
working service would be reconstructed,
no matter how the strike terminates, and
all cannot get back. From all that could
be learned through an Investigation among
the men and others close to them, they
mostly favored proposition to report for
duty, but intimidation has been carried to
such an extent that eventually this after
noon the strikers decided by vote TO stand
together and keep up the strike. AS to
who is intimidating the wOrkmen. no posi-
tive information can be had.
Early this morning a patrolman Oh the
Southern Pacific line discovered another
track blockade, consisting of ties placed
across rails at three different places be.
tween Tropico and Roscoe. the scene of
the recent train robbery. Luckily no
night train reached the place. The early
Santa Barbara train was first on the scene,
though after the distractions were re-
moved.

Vignes streets last evening by strikers.
Several brakemen aud firemen accosted
O'Neill and asked him why he returned to
work. Words led to blows which laid
