SACRAMENTO, GALA, July 21.-The
mediation committee OF the A. K. o..
held meeting this evening and unani-
mously voted to declare the strike of
Internationally. They sent short
notice to that effect 10 Supt. Fillmore.
The military will possibly remain two
or three days yet to look after few hot
heads who have been intimidating the
workmen. AS Supt. Fillmore has already
declared that he will not treat with the
strikers, and that no one will be dis
charged to make room for them, the
position of the A. R. U. men is not
promising. The railway company
claims to have enough men already TO
conduct its business, and many OF the
strikers will not get back. Just what
effect this unconditional surrender will
have on other parts of the State is not
known, as the news has not yet been re-
ceived by other lodges Of the A. K. u.
In Oakland there is every prospect
that the strikers will weaken now that
their stronghold at Sacramento Is gone.
WHEN OAKLAND GIVES UP
the fight, as 1t will possibly within the
next twenty-four hours, the strike In
California will be a thing Of the past.
The action of the strikers In Sacra-
mento was brought about by commit
tee of citizens, who showed them their
cause was now hopeless and persuaded
them to try and get back while there
was yet chance.
Last Thursday Superintendent Fill
more met committee of strikers and
promised if the strike was declared off
Internationally all the strikers except
those who had taken an active
part In the destruction Of prop
erty, stopping of trains and the
intimidation of the men would be
taken back into the employ OF the COM
sseuY. II Is believed I'll mare will Keep
/ this promise, Tor although the railway
company processes to be able to run
the road without the aid Of the strik-
ers, the places OF the old men are In
many cases filed by green hands and
the road is not being operated as salts
factorily as before the strike.
Tonight the railway officials say all
their trains are running. The evening
overland train via Ogden was the last
TO be exported. The train was sent out
out on schedule time. A military guard
still escorts express trains The
SOLDIERS HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED
to shoot in the event OF attempted In
reference with trains. A striker who
attempted TO cut an air brake in West
BerkeIy to-day is reported TO have been
shot and badly wounded. Dhspite the
assertions OF the strikers to the
contrary, the railway managers say
large numbers OF the A. r. q. are re-
turning to work. The position of the
railway company was explained by the
following letter from Mr.. Towne issued
tonight 10 q committee from Sacra-
mento:
Gentlemen:-Your committee are at
liberty TO say when the strike is de-
clared off. Our company will EMPLOY,
in addition TO those now In our service
and a few who are coming to US under
engagement, such men as we may need
in our train and other services who
have not during the strike wilfully dam
aged railway property or forcibly pre-
vented our men from performing their
usual regular duties, each toFbe cOnsid-
ersd separately and upon individual ap-
plication, and to be disposed or accord
ing to the merits OF the applicant. The
company will be careful no Individual
suffers wrong or injustice our hands.
Beyond this men must trust to the lem
iency Of the company.
Very truly,
A. n. TowSE,
Second Vice-Presdent and General
Manager.
