If carried Into eflect the reserve would shut the stockmen out of the best grazing land in Glenn and Colusa counties.

They told them to go and get the things that they were going to escape with. They pleaded innocence, but finally Downs broke down and acknowledged his gullt, exonerating the other three.

There is a rumor on the street that if the course of the strike is not inter- rupted an effort will be made to throw the United Ralilroads into the hands of a receiver and prevent the agonizing incidents of a hard-fought -trun by Federal interference. The service rendered by the Gnry | and California street cable lines was an aggrevation—particularly to those who stood on the corners and watched car after car go by crowded inside and out. It is to walk—and the lines of Treat With Strkers.

The incon- venience of the thing is being felt in every line of activity in the city and the public—the silent but most inter- ested party in the strike—is bearing the motorman's burden. & The directors of the United Railroads met yesterday sfternoon at the gesi- dence of Thornwell Mullally and adopt- ed an ultimatum which was sent to the Carmen'’s Unjon.

Carmen Return to Work * CORNELIUS SAYS: The plain truth is that the carmen are worn out by excessive toil. You (Calhoun) tell much of the gener- ous inclination with which you started westward. You indicate that you intended to do good things for us. Do them now. Instead of proposing discussions in the future, instead of telling us of plans in the days that are gone, do them now.

The directors of the United Railroads yesterday afternoon sent a communication to the carmen to be posted at the car barns, urging them to return to work and at the same time refusing to treat with them on the questions at issue until they do return. The letter of the directors makes no explicit statement of what the company is prepared to concede to the platiorm men after they have returned. The letter is worded in general terms and simply promises fair, just and liberal consideration of the demands. On one point Calhoun and the directors of the road are firm; they will make no terms with the strikers as such. “You may read between the lines of our letter,” said Calhoun, “a determination to run the cars in any ‘event.. We have no objection to it being known that we are at work to fill the places of our men who have left us, and I want to say this: When I have hired a man he never leaves my employ except for cause” The propoul of the company in brief is this: Come back and we will settle our differences in the same spirit of kinuness in which we were prepared to meet you before you struck. Refuse to come back and we will fill your places at once and keep the men we get. The text of the ]etter sent to the men is as follows: ! “San Francisco, Aug. 27, IM “To the Employes of the United Ra;lrosds of San Francisco: “At a meeting of the board of directors this day held a letter of appeal on behalf of the employes of dn.‘ nce to the Mayor's appeal and prompted by their owncompany was received from Mayor Schmitz.
