Its Arrival

Sunday last was Railroad Day
in Panaca, and although the at
tendance was not 50 large as it
would have been, had the oc-

vertised, very enjoyable time
was had. Speech making was
indulged in and different musi-
cal selections had. A magnifi-

served by the people Of Panaca
to all visitors out under the
beautiful trees, and everyone
present ayailed themselves of
the opportunity, Tor no place is
more famed than Panaca for the
excellency of her CUISINE. The

NIT of any boisterous or pomp-
Gus celebration but a very en-
joyable and restful time was
had.
Each day sees the near ap-
proach of railroad day to Phoebe

that we get & move on if we are
to sustain our reputation as an
entertainer.

CHIEF ALSO TALKS

Msvor Schmitz yesterday gave the
following statement concerning the car
strike TO the associated press with the
stipulation that copies of it should not
be given to the local papers. but not
including Oakland in the exception:
L have issued orders to Chief of
Police Dinan that peace and order shall
be maintained at any cost, that inter-
ference with the operation Of cars
when the company attempts to resume
ruaniuE them shall not be tolerated
and that persons carrying arms shall
be arrested without respect to which
side of the controversy they represent.
Il Wil not permit policemen to act
IS uaotormen or conductors or TO ride
on fhe cars as guards. My observation
has taught me that the appearance of
police on cars at such a time as this
tends To excite violence rather than %
suppress or prevent it. The police
force numbers 7OO men Of whom only
50 ere mounted. Appeals have come to
me TO enlarge it by the appointment of
specials. but / shall not do this until
the necessity has become apparent"
In spite Of his failure last Saturday
in the attempt to bring the representa-
tives of the United Railroads and the
strikers together on q compromise, the
mayor said that he had not yet given
up hope, but counted on the effect of a
second conference.
When Mullally's statement that the
company had severed relations with
it somewhat dampened his enthusiasm.
He said that he had not counted on the
oompany's taking such an attitude and
that it would be much harder now to
arrange a conference.

DINAN OUTLINES PLANS
Says That He Does Not Anticipate
ANY Serious Disturbance

Chief Dinan was asked yesterday
whether, In the event of a car carry
ing passengers being attacked by strik-
ers OF their sympathizers, he would
place policemen on the cars for the
protection of passengers and the coma
pany's property. He replied:
NO. will not put policemen on the
cars It is absurd to expect me to do
so. The streets along which cars will
run viii be well lined by patrolmen,
and If any such attack were to take
place some Of them would be promptly
on the spot to stop the attack and ar
rest the offenders.
i may say again that do not antici-
pate any such occurrences. am firmly
convinced that the carmen will pre-
serve the peace, and any rowdyism will
not come from them, but from the evil
element in the city that is always ready
for trouble
"As evidence Of the peaceful inten-
tions of the strikers I was waited upon
today by a delegation from the union
and 1 was informed by the delegation
that there were 200 men belonging to
the union at my disposal tor be sworn
in as special officers to assist my men
IN preserving the peace and protecting
the lives and property of citizens. 1
did not deem IT necessary to accept the
offer at present
The citizens may rest assured that
everything viii be done by my depart
ment to preserve the peace. but it is
out Of the question to expect me TO put
policemen on the cars. / have not suf-
hcient men at my command to do it
and I do not believe it viii be neces-
sary."

COrneIinS DenOunees
the United Railroads
Management
Says Calhoun Alone Is.
RESPONSIBLE for the
Big Strike
By Richard Cornelius

If there was any doubt in the minds
of the people of San Francisco as to
where the responsibility of the present
tfeup of the streetcar traffic should lie
we are confident that the latest in
fiammatory utterances of Mr.. Patrick
Calhoun have set the doubt at rest.
The public can now see what kind
of man Mr.. Patrick Calhoun is. and
what opinion he has of them and us.
He tells the world today that he is the
victim of conspiracy.
He heard months ago that we were
going to strike in order to help out
his enemies. If he was told that and
believed it. why did he keep saying
UP to Saturday night that we would
not strike? Either he was saying
then the thing that was not, or he is
saying 1t now.
We don't know what Mr.. Patrick
Calhouns enemies are doing and we
don't care. We are not his enemies;
we never were, and we don't want to
be. He seems to think that the man
.
must be his enemy. We offered and
still offer our labor for fair price.
If he wants it he has only to say the
word and we will give him in the fu-
ture, as we have given him In the past,
far more loyal and efficient service
than the horse racing. petticoat hunt
ing young Napoleons of finance with
whom he has saddled this unfortunate
community.
We are nbt parties to any conspir-
acy. and that we are not, Mr.. Calhoun
is the best evidence. The reason he
says we are conspirators is that we
struck at this time. But who made
us strike at this time? If Mr.. Calhoun
had wanted it the decision of the
board of arbitration could have been
made to run for IL months or two
years longer. but Mr.. Calhoun did not
want it so. He wanted a new bargain
and a new contract at this very time.
and he has no right to shout conspiracy
now, when we are trying to get the
best terms we can. The trouble with
Mr.. Calhoun and those with him is
that they consider you and US as the
dirt under their feet. The elegant Mr..
Mutually has declared that we are
'blackmailers'; his distinguished uncle
tells the merchants that we are law
less strikers
Now we ask the public, when have
we been "lawless?" With more provo
cation than any other class of men
we have kept the law to the last jot
and title. We intend to keep the law
and to keep it scrupulously. We are
not blackmailers, we are not hoodlums,
we are not lawless- We are plain, de-
cent citizens of San Francisco, trying
in our humble way to build our homes,

Calhoun Invites ALL Of
His Employees to
Return
Declares He Will Make
Every Effort to
Keep Peace
BY Patrick Calhoun,

The United Railroads hopes that al
of its former employees will report to-
morrow morning. 1t recognizes that
under the dictation of the carmen's $
union, it will require some courage for
its members to return to work. Those
who do not report by-S o'clock will be
as stated in the notice published yes
terday and posted in the car barns. for
mally discharged from the service OF
the company.
The officials of the company have
only the kindest feeling for it's en-
ployes and will cordially welcome their
return. The exact status is that the
union has, of its own motiop, severed
its relations with the company. 1t did
this with the full knowledge that this
separation would be permanent. The
matters in controversy involved no
union principle whatever. but were
mere questions of business adjustment
based on what was fair and equitable.
The members of the union had a per-
feet right not to work for the COM
pany and the company has right, of
course, to employ whomsoever it
pleases.
The company hopes that the opera
tion of its cars will not be interfered
with and that 1t will meet with the
assistance of all citizens in an effort
to re-establish full service upon its
lines. We have not the slightest feel
ing of enmity toward our former en-
ployes and sincerely hope that those
who do not return to the employment
of the company will find whatever new
relations they establish in other quar-
ters entirely satisfactory to them.
To the utmost of its ability, while
fearlessly protecting its property and
its employees. the company will seek
to avoid strife and it will do nothing
to create breach of the peace. 1t has
right to expect full protection from
the city and state authorities. Upon
this right 1t will rely, and the rapidity
with which full service is resumed will
depend upon the degree of protection
afforded by the city and state authori-
ties.
I received the following kilograms
today. which will give you an idea of
the sentiments of my associates:
