OF Southern California Will Suffer
Severely if the Strike Continues.
SAN BERNARDINO, Gala, Deem
Der 9.-As result of the strike of the
Santa Fe telegraphers, 1926 men in this
city have been thrown out of work.
In the large machine shops of the
Santa Fe company an order was posted
saying:
THE shops will be closed until
further notice"
The strike has caused CONSERVATION
among the orange growers and ship
pers of this city, as if the strike is
continued, it will undoubtedly result
in a heavy loss to the orange dealers.
An average of one hundred cars of
oranges is being shipped from this vi
cintty daily. Thousands of boxes of
fruit have been picked and are ready
to be shipped and nearly the entire
crop is ready for shipment There are
more than 500 carloads of oranges billed
from this city to the East, and if the
strike shall assume the proportions
which threaten. the oranges will prob
ably be side-tracked. The Santa Fe
company is making a supreme effort
to rush its fruit to it's destination. Ev-
cry available engine is being pressed
into service and yardmen and trainmen
are working overtime. All the oper-
ators on the Southern California rail-
way, of which San Bernardino is the
headquarters. have obeyed the order of
their president and quit work. No eff
fort has been made to fill the positions
left vacant
No Trouble at Los Angeles.
LOS ANGELES, Gala, December 9.
The local dispatcher of the Santa Fe
road announces that all trains are on
time and that the strike will in no way
interfere with traffic. He declared that
in all. less than sixty operators have
gone out west Of Albuquerque, and of
these forty belonged 10 the division be-
tween Albuquerque and Mojave, six TO
the San Joaquin Valley division and
five or six TO the Southern California
division. In this city, only four oper-
ators quit work. The strikers places
have been filed in every instance, ac-
cording to the despatcher's statement
There is great reluctance on the part OF
the members OF the order who have
good positions TO go on the sympathetic
stike.
