SACRAMENTO. Cal, July 1.-THE medic
alton committee OF the A r. l. held a
meeting this evening and unanimously
voted TO declare the strike of uncondi-
tionally. They sent a short notice TO that
effect to Superintendent Fillmore. The mil
itary will probably remain two or three
days yet to look after few OF the hot
heads who have been intimidating work.

AS superintendent Fillmore has already
said that he will not treat with the stril-
ers, and no one will be discharged 10 maks
room for them, the position of the A r.
L. men is not promising. The railway
company claims 10 have enough men al
ready to conduct its business. and many OF
the strikers will not get back. Just what
effect this unconditional surrender VIII
have on other parts OF the State is not
known, as the news has not. yet been re-
ceved by other lodges OF the A r. u. In
Oakland there is every prospect that the
strikers will weaken. now that their strong
hold at Sacramento is gone. When Oaks
land gives up the fight, as IL will probably
within the next twenty-four hours, ths
strike in California will be a thing OF ths
past. The action of the strikers in Sacrs-
mento was brought about by a COMMITTEES
of citizens, who showed them that their
cause was now hopeless and persuaded
them to try and get back while there was
yet chance.
Last Thursday Superintendent Fillmore
met a committee of strikers and promised
that if the strike was declared off uncon-
ditionally all the strikers except those who
had taken an active part in the destruction
of property, stopping Of trains and intimi-
dation of the men would be taken back into
the employ of the company. 1t is believed
MIR. Fillmore will keep this promise. for
although the railway company processes TO
be able 10 run tie road without the aid OF
the strikers, the road is not being operated
as satisfactory as before the strike.

The position Of the railway company was

Sacramento:
