Southern Pacific Company, for the arrest
of the persons who were responsib BILE for

A story comes from Winnemuca Of two
carloads Of chickens stalled on the divl-
sion east of that place, at a station, where
it was found that there was no food to be
secured for the fowls. After keeping them
coOped up for couple of days the doors
were thrown open and the chickens al
lowed to escape to the prairies and hustle
for their grub
There appears to be 40 lack of the neces-
sary men to run all trains on the coast
division. at least, if one is to judge by the
number of applicants for work who throng

Townsend streets.
b. The police still accompany ali trains to
the county line, and since the freights
have been put on the additional service
keeps them pretty busy.
Although no official declaration to that
effect was made. it is the opinion of sew
era of the railroad officials that business
on the entire system will be in full opera
ton by Monday.
The stand the railroad officials will take
regarding unemployment of those who
participated in the strike is question that
few of them feel disposed 10 express them
selves about. From an authentic source,
however, it was learned yesterday that
most of the strikers will probably be taken
back. The gentleman who gave this in
formation also said that there was not the
slightest doubt in his mind that the lead
ers of The movement and those who had
made themselves conspicuous in the wreck
ing of property would certainly be BLACK
listed and never again employed.
Yesterday afternoon committee rep
resentiDg the Order of Railway Trainmen
called upon Mr.. Phelps, the trsinmaster
of the coast division, and requested that
those members of the order who went
on strike be reinstated. Mr.. Phelps re-
fused to meet the men as representatives
of any order, but said that he would con-
slider all applications individually. This
is in line with the statement above to the
effect that the prime movers in the strike
will be made to suffer.
