THE GREAT TlErUP.
Both Sides Prepared for a Bitter
and Determined Fight.


American Railway Union men In the
employ Of the Southern Pacific have
asserted their power. As a result oil
their attempt to enforce the Pullman
boycott, passenger trains are tied up
at every railroad center in the State.
Save by the local trains there will be
no passenger service out of San Fran
cisco OF Oakland tonight, and there is
every indication that the tie-up may
be ~protracted.
An official Of the Southern Pacific
declared this afternoon that his peo-
pie had made up their minds that il
they are not to be allowed to run Pull
man coaches, they will run no trains
at all. The local officers Of the Amer
lean Railway Union declare that the
Pullman coaches must be Withdrawn
and both sides seem to be prepared
for a bitter and determined fight.
The threat OF the Southern Pacific
managers that il they cannot u Pull
mans they will not run the trains TO
which they are usually attached may
be explained in the fact that the
Southern Pacific Company owns a
seventy-ive per cent interest in the
Pullman coaches running over it's
inc.
