Lieutenant-C Colonel Denis Gaary is be-
coming anxious as he sees the men under
his command being scattered all over the
State as guards to Southern Pacific trains.
Fully hundred were taken from his
camp In West Oakland yesterday, and it is
likely the demand will be increased to-day.
In view of this fact, the colonel telephoned
to San Francisco yesterday aftern DON, in
curing as to the possibility of getting
more troops.
A few requirements were received
yesterday morning in the way of two COM
panes, 3 and d, Of the Naval Battalion
and about fifty cavalrymen OF Troop A,
First Cavalry, in command of Captain
Blumen berg.
On each of the three passengers which
went out yesterday morning there were
guards of fourteen men in charge of one
officer, in addition To which there were
conveys of two carloads which accom-
panied each train part of the way.
1t is this scattering of troops from West
Oakland that the strikers most desire. The
continual drawing of the soldiery to other
points will leave the mole and the point
without protection, or with very little, and
once the scarcity becomes noticeable it
would not require a great stretch of the i'm
agination to conjure up acts of destruction
of company property. There are nearly 1900
strikers at West Oakland, and the work
of past days proves that number of them
dislike the company to the extent Of de-
stroying its property and battering its
employees
After the demonstrations OF Saturday it
was expected that warm work would be
witnessed yesterday. In this everybody
was disappointed. There was absolutely
nothing out of the ordinary on the mole or
at the point except the running out of
more trains than ever by the company,
and the big crowds which came down that
way to sun themselves. take peeps at the
soldiery ana wonder wat all the row was
about, anyhow.
There were some pathetic, some senti-
mental and some humorous happenings
along the picket line established by the
citizen soldiery, not entirely on the bills.
Mothers of many Of the young men in the
guard, the lights Of whose eyes had been
snatched from their homes by the cruel
demands OF war. came over in troops from

for a O'clock tea, and the hug and the
kiss each one received was somewhat OF a
compensation for the enforced encamp-
ment by the tracks. Other fellows had a
better thing than even this-for besides

best girl. who had also come out to gladden.
their eyes. But sore was the heart and
sad the soul of the unfortunate young
guardsmaD, who was unfortunate enough
to be on sentry-go, while the dear and fair
ones sought to keep up an endearing con-
versation with him. In more than one
case the regulations were infracted, and
where they were not, the ever prese and

of his opportunity and ''joshed" the mill

content.
The crowds were holiday ones. in their
best bibs and fuckers, and they visited the
scenes of all the past weeks activities.
They pointed out to each other the places
where this and that had occurred; where
this train had been stalled and that des-
perate charge of soldiery had been made.
They hunted high and low for a glimpse of
the countenance of President Roberts of
the A. r. u, but failed to find him. They

livious to it all, or, at least didn't seem to
mind 1t much, and went about his business
in his usual quiet fashion.
The locals ran on time, generally, the
only stoppage being caused by the ina
blity of the new fremen to get sufficient
elhow-grease into the coalb0x to keep
steam always up to the required notch,
but, on the whole. the company's officials
pointed out that the strike had been
broken. The strikers are of the different
opinion. They say 1t has only CONNIE need
and cite the argument that if, with hardly
any effort, they make the company stop
running, how things would be if they
started to do something.
This. then, is the way the issues are
Joined in West Oakland: The company
appears to be jubilant and announces that
the strike Is broken: the strikers are con-
fident. or claim to be so, and say the strike
is only beginning.
