ganizations assumed definite shape to-

San Francisco, June 27.--The Ameri.
can Railway Union men in the employ
of the Southern Pacific have asserted
their power. AS result Of their at
tempt tosenforce the Pullman boycott,
passenger trains are tied up at every
railroad center in the state Save by
local trains there will be no passenger
service out of San Francisco or Oakland
I, hight, and there is every indication
th~t the trouble may be proMacted. An
official of the Southern Pacific company
declares that his people have made up
their minds that If they are not to be
allowed to run Pullman cars they will
run no trains at all. The threat of the
Southern Pacific managers that If they
cannot run Pullmans they will not run
trains to which they are attached may
be explained in the fact that the South
ern Pacific owns seventy-hve per cent
interest in all Pullman coaches running
over its lines.
Trains that should have left this city
at p. m. for Stockton; $3.50 D. M for
Los Angeles $3.50 p. M for Ogden, and
7:SO p. m. for Portland were abandoned.
1t is therefore impossible for any per-
son to enter or leave California via the
Southern Pacific. The railroad people
say there is no use in running half-sized
trains. Several hundred passengers who
had bought tickets early in the day and
gone to Oakland, were obliged to re-
turn to the city.
