It became known tha the company' manager, W. F. Kelly, will return from , Los Angeles tomorrow night with 10 strlkebreskera. th arrival of this contingent at Point Richmond being timed for o'clock. It became known that th prepara tions for quartering these and ether re- lnforcemenu.la .tha. traction far paras were busily pushed -forward all day to day, and that in addition to tha food sup plies shipped to that rendesvous scores of rifles, with many rounds of ammuni tion! were also stored there. And though no 6ns who has yet seen him could be found, It was persistently rumored that Parley, kqpwn, throughout th country for his strike-breaking tactics, had been summoned from Chicago by the traction officials and had already reached fUn Francisco. , " i - News of -4hs Kmln of the otrlk- breakers recruited by Mr. Kelly In Los Angeles came over the.

He added that If a meeting-should result In a deadlock th union would try to secure a settlement by arbitration and If the traction company refused to arbitrate a strike would surely follow. It Is pointed out by thecarmen generally that all they are asking, for is an lncreaas of 10 cent a day in wage from a cor poration which netted a profit last year of over 1100.000. , According to the statement of th union officers and their sympathisers, ths maneuvers thus far employed by the company In negotiating with its dis satisfied men have all been planned with an idea of gaining time for playing a trump hand rather than with a sincere Intention to - mend - matter amicably.
