San Francisco, July 1. The continu

moralized the trade of largo business
houses and manufacturing estaoliBb
ments as to necessitate the closing of
many stores and a temporary suspen
sion of operations until there is some
prospect of receiving and shipping goods.

notified their employes that their ser
vices will not be required tomorrow,
Tuesday and Wedneaday. The heads
of these houses hope that the strike will
be settled by Thursday. Such houses
have taken advantage of the Fourth of
July and have concluded that it's better
to shut up the shop than to keep a large
number of men around with nothing to
do. Other business houses have agreed
to keep their stores closed until the tie
np on the railway is raised, and freight
and goods commence to be sent out and
received. The Calitornia Sugar Re
finery, which employs in the neighbor
hood of 800 men, is one of the establish
ment which will cease opeiations until
the railway war is ended. The Ameri
can Biscuit Company has also notified
its 200 employes that it will not need
their services until Thursday, and if the
trouble between the railways and train
hands is not settled by that time, the
factory will have to shot down for a
longer period. .
In the Twin Cltlea.
St. Paul, July 1. At the headquar
ters of the American Railway Union it
was stated tonight that the number of
men on a strike in this city, as an out
growth of the Pullman boycott, was
1360. Of this number over one-half are
employees of the Northern Pacific, and
most of the remainder are on the pay
rolls of the Chicago Great Western, the
Milwaukee & St. Paul and Burlington.
About 150 are out at Minnaapolis.
Reports to the union were to the effect
that, in spite of trains running pretty
regularly in the passenger service,
freight traffic was paralyzed. The offi
cials admit that traffic is pretty well de
moralized, but scout the idea that they
, 1 will ever give nn tlie tight. A meat

Piiii.AiiKi.i'iti t, July 1. John W.
Hayes, general secretary of tho Knights
of Labor, is doing his best to have the
government keep its hands off in tiie
present fight between the railroads and
their employees. He has written the
following letter to congressmen in sup
port of a resolution to bo ii.troduced by
Senator Kyle tomorrow, at the instance
of Mr. Hayes :
"We beg leave to call yojr attention
to the joint resolution, introduced in the
senate today, Monday, July 2, 18114, and
ask for it at your hands immediate and
favorable consideration. The United
State government, if we are correctly
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. tlov't Report
ABSOLUTELY PURE
informed, contract with the various
railroad corporations 10 carry United
States mails. In no case do the con
tracts call for the attachment of other
cars than mail trains. The various
companies, whose employee are now on
a strike, are seeking to enlist the ser
vice of the United States government
in coercing their employees to perform
services against their ,will, under
cover of the said contracts for carrying
uiails. It is well known that these em
ployes stand ready at all times to do
service on mail trains.
"In view of these facts and the here
tofore declared policy of the government
in no way to interfere with private en
terprises, such as railroad corporations
unless tho laws of the land are violated,
we hereby petition you to carry out
thij declared policy now by the passage
of the Kyle joint resolution. The rail
roads are either public or private en
terprises. If the former, it is the duty
of the government to assume control
thereof and give to the employee the
same fair emolument and just treat
ment accorded to all other employees.
If the latter the government has no
right to interfere in any way between
railroad corporations and their em
ployees, or to render the former the as
diatance of the United States courts or
armies in coercing said employee.
"If the mail contracts of the govern
ment with the railroad companies are
not complied with, there , is ample re
medy in the penalties attached and in
the courts of the land. Believing the
above to be facts in the case, we res
pectfully petition you to do justice to
the great mass of your constituents by
the immediate passage of the Kyle
joint resolution."
Hayes expresses himself as sure the
men will win the fight if not interfered
with by government troops.
The Southern Pacific.
San Francisco, July 1. There seems
to be no improvement today in the strike
situation in California, and, judging by
the occurrences of the past twenty-four
hours, even if the Southern Pacific
succeeds in sending out more trains
from the Oakland yards, there is but
little prospect that they will proceed on
their way. The Oregon express, which
left Oakland last evening unmolested
by strikers, is now effectually stalled at
Red Bluff, and, to make the situation
worse, over 200 feet of their railroad,
trestle a few miles north of Dunsmuir
was burned last night, and it will take
several days to repair this damage be
fore trains can pass between here and
Portland. It is claimed the burning of
the trestle is the work of strikers, but
the fact is not established yet, and there
is another report that the trettle was
fired by woodehoppers who had been
crowded out of employment by Italians
and Chinese. As soon as the tire was
reported at Dunsmuir this morning, the
local members of the American Railway
U nion sent a large force of men to ex
tinguish the flames. They also placed
guards at other exposed bridges and
trestles, and cleared the town of a
number of suspicious characters.
The strikers have already comuiedced
interference w ith roilroad property at
Red Bluff. When tho Oregon train
arrived there early this morning, it was
stopped just oiitsido tlie town by a
danger signal, and when an attempt;
was made to start again, it was found
that the track was greased, and further
investigation showed that it was greased
for a distance of eight miles. The train
mnnaged to get to t fie station, and was
boarded by strikers, who cut the train
in three sections and left it on the main
track. The two deputy marshals w ho
accompanied the train were powerless.
Tlie strikers alto pulled the spikes from
the rails in the yard, emptied the water
from the tanks, and secured the
switches with padlocks. The train
could proceed no further. The I-os An
geles express, which left Oakland last
night, has likewise failed to reach it
destination. It went as far as Fresno
last night, but the fireman deserted
there. A few hours later another
fireman was obtained and the train
made a second start, going as far as
Bakerafield, when it was again stalled.
