Strike OF CompOsitors.
San Francisco, July 30th.-About half
past this evening, Just after the layout "
in the composing room of the Gail, q delega-
of typos called on George Howe, the fore
man, and told him a meeting of the men EN-.
ployed in the Office, and belonging to the
Typographical Union, was being held, and
that his presence was required. Entering
the composing room, he found the men in a
corner, and was told by them that though
thew had no occasion to complain of their
treatment by their employers, and though
perfectly satisfied with the wages paid them,
they objected to work in the same office with
men not belonging TO the Union, and asked
thRt the latter be discharged, as they pro-
posed to run the room SIS Union Office.
The foreman cautioned them against
hasty action, saying the proprietors
were disposed to do everything in their
power to further the interests Of employees,
and to pay the best wages for skilled labor :
but that they proposed to conduct their own
business. A resolution was then adopted,
stating that the Call Office should be Union
Office, and that no Union man should work
with nom U MON compositors. After further
parleying with the foreman, those belonging
60 the Typographical Union left their places
and walked out OF the room. Their places
were soon filed, and at o'clock all copy was
in hand. The Call Office has always borne
the reputation of being the best printers
paper in the city, men holding their places
for number Of years, and during all the
time receiving the highest wages paid TO the
craft. No change in wages has taken place
for upwards of thirteen years.
Cautlra of Car Robbers
TRUoKRE, July 30sh.-Considerab excite
ment was occasioned In Truckee Yesterday by
the arrest of two traraps for car-bre2king. Is
appears that on the 25sh instant two tramps
of San Francisco met 10 Ogden, and in order
to best their way through 10 San Francisco
broke into a car and secreted themselves.
Tdey broke open several cases Of goods and
stole q lot of ladies' shoes and slippers, and
some tobacco, which they disposed of to off
ferent parties in Truckes at about one-fourth
their value The car robbery was discovered
before the train left Tsuckee, and the train
master swore out warrants against George
Arlington and Bernard Heinz, the parties who
had sold the stolsn goods. The latter was
captured without difficulty, but Airing
ton escaped from tthe officers and struck
out toward the Summit. Burke and Hickey,
of the railroad detective force, were notified
of the occurrence by telegraph, and came at
once to Truckee by the first trsin. Airing
ton was captured at summit Station at II
o'clock last night, and was brought back to
Truckee this morning. Heinz turned States
evidence, and gave Detective Burke the full
details OF the robbery. He also waived ex-
animation, and Arlington is being examined
to-day before Justice Keyssr. The evidence
against the prisoners ia conclusive, and il is
probable that they will both be held for trial
in the Superior Court.
Railroad Extension.
WASHINGTON, July 30th-The bridge
across the Colorado river at the Needles is
nearly completed, and will be ready for the
passage of trains By Wednesday. The com.'
pletion of this work enables the Central Pa
cihc snd Atlantic and Petite Railroads to
form junction, AID thus open third trans
continental route from this city 10 the East
ern cities. It's doubtful, however, if through
travel will be allowed to 20 by this route for
some time. No negotiate 1ns have as yet besn
entered into between the two railroads look
ing TO the arrangement of through traffi !,
and it is thought that no such arrangement
will be made jQst yet, Ths bridge that has
just been built is not the permanent bridge
that will span the river az tbs Needles, the
Atlantic and Pacific Railroad proposing to
pat in 8 very substantial iron structure.
The extension Of tho Oregon Division Of
the Central Pacific Railroad has bssn graded
twenty miles, and rails are being laid WITH
all the expedition possible. The rosd will bs
pushed through to the State line 90 fast as
possible.
It is announced that toe Northern Pacific
Railroad will take freight from the East to
San Francisco for the same price as Is charged
to Portland. The new road, it is said. will
demand pooling of freights By Eli the trans.
Continental roads.
