SEVEN MILLION IS ESTIMATE Trfcco Car Strike Canses Greatest toss to CitiMns United Railroad' Loss is Two Million and Carmen Lose Eight Hundred Thousand. SAN FRANCISCO, September 17. The United Railroads is preparing to tring suit against tie city for damages sustained since the inception of the Car e' strike. The ear strike has cost: The Carmen 816,000 Tie United Railroads $2,000,000 Tb Publie $3,000,000 While the Carmen's Union, in con nection with the affiliated unions, has effkially ended the boycott against the United Railroads the strike against the street railway company is still on. last night ended its 131st day, the strike taring commenced cn Sunday, May 6th. This labor disturbance has been extremely' costly to both sides. In wage the union carmen have lost not less than $786,000. Calhoun's com pany has lost a still greater amount. Those who know are of the opinion tWt up to last night the company's strike looses aggregates fully $1,500,000. The United Railroad's losses must be placed under several heads. Its big loss has been due to a falling off in receipts. Its official report of receipts for June wa $125,000. Thu is a falling off of $275,000 over the monthly income before the fire. In June the company began to get considerable travel In May the loss must have been over $350,000, for very few people were riding during the first month of the strike. It is said that up to last night the company has lost a million dollars in receipts. The expenses of bringing men out Iiere to operate the cars, paying many f the bonuses, bousing and feeding many of them, maintaining a big force of detectives and watchmen, returning many men East because of contracts with them to do so has been another scarce of heavy expense. A rfozen ether items of expense could alo be mentioned. But while the joint loes of the com 1 pany and the union am6unt to the large sum of $2580,000 it can readily be understood that such a sum is less than the los sustained by the public, including the thousands of dollars paid !y affiliated unions for the support of the union carmen and which assess ments arc still being continued. It is hard to estimate the loss the public sustained financially by such a labor disturbance. Several bankeTs in dose touch with the retail trade of the eity before and since the strike and knowing how the latter has kept hun dreds of out-of-town people from fre quently coming here on shopping expe ditions, estimated yesterday that in a financial way the public has lost by the . strike fully '$5,000,000.
