A general strike has been ordered in Poland. San Francisco, July 31.— The embar go of the Southern Pacific on lumber, lime and bay has been increased, and now includes all articles from the north. Not a pound of freight can be shipped into Ban Francisco from Portland or adjacent territory until the freight tie- up at Ban Francisco has been loosened. This is the latest edict of Julius Kruttschnitt, who has been threatening to do this for eome time unle<s the sit- nstion speed ly cleared. It has been decided by the local authorities to take no further chances but to stop at cnce all shipments from the north. For the embargo there is only one rem- dy--to clear up the congestion in the freight yards. Efforts in this di rection are being made by all the freight agents, and the missionary work among the consignees is having a sallitary effect. The unloading in the yards is going on at a faster rate, bat not fast enough to euit Kruttschnitt, who has taken the precaution to see that no more cars are added to the glut that is already crowding the tracks. The tie-up is working to the detri ment of the city, as many merchants throughout the state are sending East fcr their goods instead of patronizing the wholesalers of San Francisco, be lieving that they can secure their stocks just as quickly under present conditions.
