The California street cable line will
be in operation at the beginning of next
week, running both night and day. The
Hyde street road, which was In opera
tion yesterday, will also give service at
night as soon as the cars are started
in California street.
we operated four cars on the Hyde

j. w. Harris last night, and will run
five tomorrow. We did not have the
slightest trouble and do not expect any.
We are using 20 men on the Hyde street
line. all nonunion men. We will be able
to get all the men we need. Every
day a few men apply, saying that they
have worked in other cities. We have
not received applications for positions
from any of our old men yet, although
some of them have been with us for
years. We will be glad to have them
back if they come, but we will not rec
ognize their union"
The delay in beginning to operate
the California street line is due to the
fact that the lower end of the track

stated that large numbers of bad de-

absolutely false There have been very few
desertions, and every one /of the men who re-

The fact of the matter is that q great many
men who not members of our organza-

out with us and are standing Loyalty with US.
They fully realize that without the union the
position of a platform would be unbear-
