LABOR TROUBLES.
Striking Molders Anxiously Looking for
Those Eastern Men

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1sth-The situation of
the great molGers' strike presented no new or
sensational features to-day. The molders re-
tain their jubiliant attitade caused by the
cheering news of yesterday, which assured
them of the support of the combined workmen
of the United states. and were disposed to take
days rest from their anNletieS of the past
week.
The molders take no pains to conceal their
concern at the prospect of the early arrival of
contingent of more mo deIs from the East who
are said to have reached Los Angeles Sunday
under the personal charge of Mr.. Arnold, fore
man ot the Union Iron Works machine shops.
Arnold left for parts unknown on Wednesday
last, and telegram announces that he has met
the band of molders and is coming north with
them on the Southern Pacific
A committee was appointed to meet them at
the depot and, il is said, several moders were
aent to intercept the train outside the city and
use their utmost eloquence to induce the in
coming molders to reconsider their determine
ton to work for the Foundrymen's Association.
1t is rumored also that inducements will be ex-
teoded to the newcomers of a pecuniary nature,
and that on their siding with the local strikers
they wild be offered transpo tation and ex-
penses home. The bosses are anticipating some
such movement on the part of the strikers, and
are said to have taken special precautions
against the parties coming in contact with each
other.
The bosses are not feeling the same conf
dence. apparently, as they did before yesterday.
They say that the shops which have recently
shut down and which did not belong to the
Foundrymen's Association, were compelled to
Go so on account OF the Improbable nature of
the business consequent on the extortionate de-
mandS of the strikers.
THEY ARE COMING.
A telegram from Lathrop tonight says: "a
special passenger train of three cars
destined for San Francisco passed through
here at 2 P. VI. 1t is supposed to contain the
ir"n. .molders for the Union Iron Works now
coming from the East. A delegation of work
men from Fan Francisco which had been await
ing there got badly left. The train changed
engines at the roundhouse and did not stop at
the depot, thereby hoodwinking them"
1t is now feared that there is going to be
trouble with the striking molders. and the
foundrymen are taking every precaution to pro-
tect themselves and their works. A delegation
of molders from the East to take the place of the
strikers is expected here this evening and it is
feared that al assault may be made on the
strangers.
Chief Crowley was consulted about the matter
this afternoen, and it Tt suited in the swearing
III of forty special ficers to guard the foundries
and the moiders from the East. Tie men were
after having the oath administered to them by
Judge Lawler. went back to the foundries An
extra squad of regular officers was kept at the
Old City Hall, and every possible preeaution
will be taken to prevent trouble.

land mole this afternoon. They were trans
ferred 10 tngs Some were taken to the Union
Iron Works, Others 10 the City Works and Fulton

escorted to the point of destination.
