from the east carrying the strike

cisco to work for the street car COM
pany. arrived in ogden last evening,
The first section coming I'm at $3.50
ana the last section an hour later The
first section was composed Of 10 coaches
and a baggage car and the second Sec
ton II cars and a baggage car. There
was a vast difference between the man
nsr In which the two sections were
handled. The report had been sent out
from Green River, Wyoming, that the
men on board were all armed with
guns and were causing considerable
trouble. Chief OF Police Browning out Of
precautlon was at the station With
his entire force 10 quell any disturb
ance that might be started here. There
was large crowd Of union men al the
depot when the train pulled In. some
Of them were prepared for trouble. and
had the least sign OF a break been made
here serious trouble would have fol-
loved.
When the first section Of the train
pulled into the depot grounds only
half dozen men stepped of. and they
kept watch on the cars TO see that none
Of the men left the train, all the win
doWs were closed down tight and a
guard with a gun and club was placed
AZ each end OF the cars TO keep the
man from lfayfue tho rh Tkf.
vas In charge OF George jenkins OF
New York. and he refused TO talk.
The men on this train appeared 10 be
the rough. tough element Of the east
whom Farley had picked up. At Evan
s,on. they were greeted with a bunch
OF union men. some Of whom threw
rocks at the cars breaking two OF the
windows. Further than this little trou-
BILE they had gotten thus far on their
Journey without being molested. The
Impression was given out by those I'm
charge Of the first section that those on
hoard the second section were tough
and we're causing all kinds Of disturb
ances enroute.
When the second part OF the train
pulled Into the depot grounds, the
blue coats were expecting no end OF
trouble. and when the car doors were
thrown open and most Of those on
board stepped from the train, all who
were al the depot we're surprised, but
the men were OF a better class than
those on the first section, they talked
freely 20 the representatives OF the
press. admitting that they expect trou-
bic when they get 10 California. II
was evident from the conversation OF
number Of the men that a good por-
ton OF those on board are not going TO
80 to work for the street car company
when they get 20 san Francisco. But
sood wages are being paid for all
Kinds % employment and il was an
easy opportunity TO get free transpor-
lallon and board from New York and
Philadclphia to San Francisco, and they
a'alled themselves Of the opportunity.
~ one Of the cars were about fifteen
IRON workers who can get s. per day
IN san Francisco; they are union men
ana many others belong TO unions Of
various Kinds. A few of those who
came 10 Ogden with the train left Il

lfades IN THIS city
considerable dissatisfaction had arls- |
IN among the men ON account OF the |
iooI iood that had been furnished them |
curing me past two days. and those |
on BOARD the second section had agreed |
maj unless better food was furnished |
mem al Ogden. they would all leave the |
liain here and refuse TO 60 any further |
vest \ committee was appointed to |
inspect the eatables here. The din |
lHs car company had been telegraphed |
70 purchase the provisions. which con-
ssled OF over 1000 loaves OF bread. 300
esss canned salmon. corned beef. sar-
alnes, pork and beans. sugar. butter.
Condensed milk. etc. in large quanti-
uts. and when these goods were taken
10 me car on trucks. the committee was
present TO inspect the food. II proved
satisfactory, and no disturbance was
had on that account.
IN the two trains there were over
:" men. and but few were sick. They
expect 10 arrive In San Francisco sun
day.
