Re sumption of transcontinental train service on one railroad, the Union Pacific and suspension of east bound trains on another, the West ern Pacific, were the outstanding features today In the far west in the nation-wide railroad strike. -Union Pacific trains which were tied up in Nevada on the Salt Lake Loe Angeles road began moving shortly after noon when Big Four trainmen who had gone on strike went back to their posts. Two of the trains were at Las Vegas and.it was reported Governor Boyle of Ne vada had left for that point to take charge of the situation. The two dally Western Pacific trains were annulled on account of strike conditions at Oakland and Stockton. two California points where brotherhood men had refused to work as long as armed guards wiet retained. One Western Pa cific train waa abandoned by its crew arriving at Stockton today from Salt Lake. Other Developments Noted. Other developments in the strike situation were: The Southern Pacific company. which had four trains stalled at its Ogden gateway by a strike of fire men, reported that the men had re turned to work when the conductors objected to the strike. The firemen asked that the company remove the armed guards and repair Its rolling stock, which, it was claimed, was dangerous to operate. The company raid it expected no more trouble at Ogden. Last night the Overland Limited, a fast Southern Pacific through train, was taken out of Og den with railroad officials acting as firemen. On the Santa Fe system trains re ained halted at Barstow, Needles and other desert points. Late re ports placed the number of stalled trains at 12. Hallway to Make Appeal. A direct appeal to trainmen a-t desert points to move stalled pas senger trains will be made by I. L. Hibbard. general manager of the Santa Fe coast lines, as a "last re sort." Mr. Hibbard said. Some of the trains have been tier up "or two days In an Intense heat and the gen eral manager said the crews would be urged to bring the passengers to their destination as "a matter of humanity." Other westbound trains of the Ssnta Fe route on the desert when the walkout occurred have been re-routed over the Southern Pacific and will come through, provided there ts no tie-up on the latter road. The Santa Fe tieup remains com plete, with the only means of relief In sight being the appeal Mr. Hib bard said he would make to the trainmen. He said he had made a similar appeal to brotherhood lead ers In Los Angeles, but had had no report from them. Mr. Hibbard pointed out that it would be inad visable to attempt to move the pas sengers in automobiles, as it is a long trip across the desert and would require many machines, with drivers unacquainted with the road and Inexperienced In desert travel. Santa Fe officials said there were food supplies at Needles. Sellgman and other points where trains are tied up sufficient to supply the pas sengers for several days and that automobile trucks would be used to replenish these supplies If neces sary. Fruit Losses Heavy. Fruit losses resulting from the strike" are reported heavy, particu larly In the San Joaquin where one Fresno shipper. E. Y. Foley, esti mated that growers today lost 504 cars of green fruit, valued at $500. 000. as a result of the embargo placed on perishable fruit shipments yesterday by the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe. California fruits at present "on the rails" en route to eastern mar kets consist of approximately 2000 cars valued at around 11000 each. Growers are hoping that these ship ments will reach their destination before being halted by embargoes. Approximately 40,000 carloads re main in California to be packed and shipped east if railroad conditions permit. Peace moves through the brother hoods in southern California were given a setback when D. E. Ctayne. general chairman In Los Angeles of the Brotherhood of Firemen and En ginemen. said that he "cOuld not and would not order the men under his Jurisdiction to return to work." Crayne . said it was an Individual matter when the men left their work as Individuals due to haiard ous conditions of employment. Attorney-General Daugherty tele graphed the federal district attorney in southern California today to In vestigate "whether the abandon ment of trains" on the Santa Fe "was the result of a conspiracy be tween those operating them or oth ers to Interfere with interstate com merce and the handling of the malls." Grand Jury action was re quested If an investigation warranted. day. when his automobile was struck by a Southern Pacific train at the Orchard street crossing here, came to his death through his own negli gence, according to the verdict of the coroner's jury yesterday. The Jury visited the scene of the acci dent and Included In its findings recommended that the high bank that flanks the track should be re moved, as It obscures a clear view of the track from the crossing: Owing to the absence of Coroner W. W. Branstetter the Inquest was held by Justice Jess O. Wells. HUSBAND SEEKS $40,000 Denver Society Woman Accused of Alienating Wife. DENVER. Aug. 12. iWth the charge that Mrs. Carrie M.
