No. 205 5H5- GOVERNOR GOE RGSEBUHG HAS MASS MEETIN KING SITE WALK OUT TO SAN FRANCISCO ON THE COAST or &j (iwttra 1,0(10 MEN AT SAL Will Investigate Labor Troubles And Determine Whether To Call Out State Troops. 400 POLICE DETAILED Few Cars Arc Running and the Peo ple Arc Dependent on a Wagon Service. San Francisco, May 10. Tho street car strike has developed Into a flght to a finish. Neither side Is willing to accept arbitration, and a citizens' committee appointed to tie cure industrial peace was unable to find any basis for settlement. It has been demonstrated that the present police force is inadequate, and that stronger measures are necessary to Insure a general resumption of ser vice, if the struggle is conducted on tho present lines. Several cars were run, accompanied by police on carj and In automobiles. No violence was offered. On another trip the cars were unaccompanied, and the objects of attacks by missiles, and several persons were injured. The mayor and chief of police' claim the policy are competent to cope with the situ ation. Meanwhile the public must walk or pay five prices for desultory1 wagon service. Reduced to an arithmetical aspect, the problem is this: If fifty police are required to afford safe conduct to two street cars daily over six mile? of tracks when no passengers are carried, how shall 200 cars be oper ated with passenger traffic over 250 miles of tracks with a total force of only seven hundred police. During a portion of the trip the cars today were showered with flowers . from windows in a hotel. They were picked up and distributed among tho strikebreakers. Governor Gillette left Los Angele3 today to come to San Francisco and personally investigate the labor con ditions, and determine whether it is necessary to order out the staie troops and preserve peace during tho Industrial struggle now In progress. The railroad company announced to night that it will attempt to operate cars on a more extensive scale co morrow. Four hundred police havo been detailed into tho district through which the cars run.
