the washing our of two miles of
track. but with all rivers in the
flooded section of the state falling
rapidly and the foothill country for
the present swept bare of snow. the
general flood situation is more prom
ising tonight Many thousands Of
acres of grain land have been mum
dated in Sacramento and Yolo coun-
ties and the newly sown crop de
stroyed but no further damage is
anticipated except in the event of a
cold snap or more snow in the hills.
Warm showers prevail throughout
the central portion of the state to-
day. but the rainfall is not enough
to affect the food situation.
Between Sacramento and Rose
vile Junction the Southern Pacific
company is working night and day
to connect the tracks with the bridge
of the Northern Electric Co. the only
railroad crossing still standing over
the American river. This work is

principles of his union did not ad-

in conservatism and in as little harm
to the interests of capital as possible
in the course of the settlement OF
differences. His views prevailed
with result that the men on CON
struction were alone called out.
These are principally iron workers,
carpenters and electricians.
The meeting last night was at

If settlement is not reported at the
meeting tonight there is very strong
likelihood that a general strike will
be called at McGill and that there
will be sympathetic action taken by
all the union men in the employ of
the company.
What action will be taken by Man
ager Lakenan today is unknown. Ef-
fort was made to reach him last
night but without success.
Whether the Austrian and Greek
laborers will go out this morning is

church last evening with Rev. DR..
Corrothers as the first president of the
Congress. When DR.. Corrothers
took the chair he said in part that the

phasized the fact that a clean and
moral ministry was necessary for the
betterment of the pulpit. Many OF
the leading bishops were present.
