West aud $ ". Knapp. Ogden: Yours re-
ceived. fou have been mis,nformed, as I
am quite sure neither the police nor off,
GERS OF California loaded the men into the
cars. We were asked to haul the men free
and refused. but agreed TO give them re-
duced rates, ~ many of them were do
sirous af reaching their homes in the
East. We believe that after careful con-
sideration your people will do what they
can To help them to their destination,
as they have no inducement to return
West. am certain their condition will
be improved when they get into the large
field OF labor east Of the Mississippi river.
Asa matter of common humanity We
should help them on their way. Our COM
pany can do nothing, as IL is not organized
Tor charity. but for business, but person
ally will contribute $loo toward helping
them. c. L. HuNriseTos."
Gov. Waite's telegram TO Gen. Kelly
does not invite the Industrial Army TO
Colorado. but says; ANY citizen of the
United States has right of passage through
Colorado
DENVER April ii.-Capt. w. l.. Grayson,
who started out with Bert Hamiiton's
'Silver Legion" and deserted in disgust,
Is organizing an army here to join the
California crowd. The captain, who served
in the British army, is convinced that the
Coxey movement. IL backed by honest
workingmen. will be productive OF good.
He says wealthy Popuist has offered TO
give 81 900 TO the 'traveiers' association"
as soon rs keiiy's army arrives from Utah.
SAN Francisco, April ii.--C. r. Crocker,
first vice president of the Southern Pacific.
was asked how he viewed the suggestion
that the Southern Pacific was liable to
punishment for having violated the inter-
state commerce act In trans porting the In
dustrial Army to Ogden for $50. when the
regular rate would have amounted TO
about $40 900. IF We have violated the
Law would like to see the courts say so,"
replied Mr. Crocker. Il would ike 10 see
what the courts could or would do in such
q case. Ii seems TO me the company did
right; that Ii did . good thing for the
men as well as for all concerned. The
case stood in such q way that We had TO
make a Iow rate to get them out OF Oak
land or submit 20 the power of numbers
and haul them for nothing. The railroad
is naturally open for whatever business il
offered. IL would cost less TO send the
men out in q body and be less inconysni-
nee to US than TO have them boarding our
trains and harassing our employees al all
times of the day and night The men
are in Ogden and do not see any way Of
getting them back unless they want to
come and are willing TO pay fun fare for
the return trip"
