strikers, granting at least a 25 cent
increase, but he absolutely refused.
This afternoon large meeting of
the strikers was held in the open.
President Queal and his men were
present. Leaders Livoti, Bianchi and
Fabiano spoke, recommending calm,
telling the strikers they could resume
work if they SO desired. All unani-
mously answered, Nobody wiz go to
work"
Patrizi took the platform and ex-
planned the situation, telling the Ital-
ians it was their legal right to strike,
providing they would refrain from vio-
lent interference with those who wished
to work. Then followed a discussion
between Queal and Patrizi, who again
advised the president to grant a 25 cent
The San Francisco call., 1909-06-05

increase, which was again refused. The
strikers then declared themselves ready
to leave McCloud, providing the COM
pany buys their cabins.
They seem very glad to leave, be-
ing sure they can receive work else
where.
The behavior of the strikers con-
tinues to be very good. They are in
dignant against the false reports in the
San Francisco papers. 1 have inter-
viewed General Lauek regarding the
wounding of Tallerico. He told me
that he regrets very deeply the oc-
currence. adding that he will prevent a
repetition of it.
The strikers sent a complaint to the
Italian consul today, requesting him to
ask satisfaction and to send his repre-
sentative here.

Strikers Seek Funds

from their countrymen around the bay.
They expect to receive liberal dona-

Early this morning the camp was

men brought in special car from
San Francisco. The contingent was
met by ]. F. Farley. assistant general
manager of a detective company. They
were marched to company quarters ana
later taken in a lumber train to the
various logging camps around the niiis.
Farley May Rule Camp
The camp was further excited early
in the afternoon by the announcement
made by QueaI that Sheriff Howard,
compelled to attend murder trial at
Yreka, would appoint Farley his chief
deputy to take charge of affairs in his
absence. The Farley forces already
have been made deputies. The go men
were hired by the lumber company.
Therefore the appointment of Farley
to the sheriff's duties would mean the
turning over to the uses of the COM

tional guard.
Howard and Farley denied the state

Until late hour this evening Howard,
