BOYCOTT 1ND STRIKE
Stage Lines are ' Call?! Into Existence.

Lack of Shipping Facilities is Causing
Many Industries to Close
Concerning the Roads.
The Effect in San - Francisco.
San Fkaxcisco, July 1. The continu
ation of the strike has bo badly de
moralized the trade of large business
houses and manufacturing establish
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.
Many clerks, laborers and mechanics
are affcted by the decision of those con
cerns which will shut down. One es
tablishment alone throws . 200 men out
of employment. There are many stores
and commission houses which have
notified their employes that their ser- '
vices will not be required tomorrow,
Tuesday and Wednesday. The heads
of these houses hope that the strike -. iil
. 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
up on the railway is raised, and freight
and goods commence to be sent out and
received. The California Sugar Re
finery, which employs in the neighbor
hood of 800 men, is one of the establish
ments which will cease operations 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 shut down for a
longer period.
In the Twin Cities.
St. Papl, 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
will ever give up the fight. A meat
famine is' threatened. '
The Not them Pacific.
Tacoma, July 1, No train left for
Portland today, but two trains arrived
from Seattle. The Portland train should
have pulled out at 11 a. m., but the fire
man would not work and no one could
be found who would take his place. A
force of 30 deputies is guarding the
Northern Pacific Co's. property at the
Seventeenth street depot. This afternoon
a crowd of about 500 strikers and hood
lums attacked the deputies, throwing
rocks at them and . calling them the
vilest names. Deputy Harmon was
struck on the head by a rock and almost
knocked senseless. The police finally
interfered and dispersed the mob.
Regarding; the Mails.
Philadelphia, July 1. John W.
Iayes, general secretary of the Knights
of Labor, is doing his best to have the
government keep its hands off in the
preseut fight between the railroads and
their employees. He has written the
following letter to congressmen in san-
port of a resolution to be introduced by
Senator Kyle tomorrow, at the instance
of Mr. Hayes:
c. "We beg leave to call your attention
to the joint resolution, introduced in the
senate today, Monday. Julv 2. 1894. and
ask for it at your hands immediate and
favorable consideration! The United
States government, if we are correctly
Highgst of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
informed, contracts with the various
railroad corporations to carry United
States mails. In no case do the con
tracts call for the attachment of other
cars than mail trains. The various
companies, whoee employees are now on
a strike, are seeking to enlist the ser
vices of the United States government
in coercing their employees to perform
services against their will, under
cover of the said contracts for carrying
mails. It is well known that these em
ployes stand ready at ill 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 the laws of the land are violated.
we hereby petition you to carry out
this 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-
distance of the United States courts or
armies in coercing said employees.
"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."
Haves expresses himself as sure the
men will win the fight if not interfered
with by government troops.
The Southern Pacific.
San Fbancisco, 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 prodpect 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 trestle was
fired by woodeboppers who had been
crowded out of employment by Italians
and Chinese. As soon as the fire was
reported at Dunsmuir this morning, the
local members of the American Railway
Union 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
number of suspicious characters.
The strikers have already commedced
interference with railroad property at
Red Bluff. When the Oregon train
arrived there early this morning, it was
stopped just outside the 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
managed to get to the station, and was
boarded by strikers, who cut the train
in three sections and left it on the main
track. The two deputy marshals who
accompanied the train were powerless.
The strikers also 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 Los An
geles express, which left Oakland last
night, has likewise failed to reach its
destination. It went as far ' as Fresno
last night, but the fireman deserted
there. A few honrs' later another
fireman waB obtained and the train
made a second start, going as far as
Bakersfield, when it was again stalled.

They are Still at Ellensburg.
Ellensbcg, July 1. Two United
States marshals came up from Yakima
this morning with instructions to give
the company protection in moving the
train which had been here since Wed
nesday. The company called its crew at
one o'clock this afternoon and repeated
the call several times but there was no
response. It is not believed it will be
able to secure a crew here. The delayed
passengers' are being fed by the com
pany, and the best of feeling, aside from
the impatience to get away prevails.
As if no Railroad Existed.
Stockton, Cal., July 1. The situation
In Stockton today, in regard to trans
portation between neighboring towns,
is precisely as it was previous to 1887,
before railway lines through this city
were constructed. The train tie-up is
now complete. No trains, not even
locals, are running between ' this city
and Lathrop, Stages have been put on
in the different valley, and mountain
towns and Stockton has become " the
center of a line of coaches. Three stages
came in last night from Milton, bring

A True Bill Found.
ixs angeles, July l. it is now
strongly rumored that the federal grand
jury, called together by Judge Ross yes
terday, has found a true bill against a
large number of strikers who endeavored
to persuade men from taking out the
Atchison & Topeka train'and that indict
ments will be returned in the morning.
Warrants were immediately issued and
attempts will be made to arrest the men
indicted. Deputy marshals are being
sworn in. District attorney Denis does
not confirm the above but refuses to
deny it.
Several Arrests In Indiana.
Hammond, Ind., July l.United States
Marshal Hawkins left here for Indian
apolis tonight with nine of the mob lead
era as prisoners, arrested on warrants
sworn out before United States Com
missioner Vandusen, for obstructing and
retarding the passage of the United
States mails. Considerable difficulty
was experienced in executing warrants
After the arrest things were quiet here.
The- eastbound Erie train, with twe
Pullmans attached went through this
evening peaceably.
