Union Men Refuse TO Handle Trains
at Seattle.
SEATTLE, July 1.-The hope of avoid
ing strike on the Seattle and Lake
Shore road was abandoned at 2 A. NJ,
when the men refused to handle the in
coming Portland train manned by nom
union crew. The men declared they
would not handle Pullnans or nom
union trains and uperintendent Kline
discharged them. This morning he was
equal to the emergency and had non
union engine crew ready to take the
place OF deserting crews, and the result
was that trains Went out as scheduled,
including three special excursion trains
to Snoqualmie and the new university
grounds.
Crowds gathered about the depot all
day and evening on arrival and depart
ure of trains, but no trouble of any kind
occurred throughout the day or even
ing. Thirteen special United States Mar
shals were on guard, besides posse of
policemen, to keep the crowd from
pressing too close on the engine when
standing. after coming in or ready TO
start out.
On one occasion when a special excur-
sion train to the new university grounds
was about TO start out the crowd became
demonstrative and shouted "scab,"
''Scab" at the engineer aud fireman, and
pressed around the engine and crowded
the track in front of the engine. A tele-
phone call TO police headquarters brought
Chief Bolton Rogers and several specials
and patrol wagon, but before their ar
rival the engineer settled the question by
scattering the crowd with exhaust steam
blown through the snokestack, which
flooded the crowd with dirty black water
that spoiled many clean shirt and col
lar, besides straw hats and light clothes.
superintendent Kline was one of the suf-
ferers, his suit Of clothes being almost
entirely ruined.
The Lake Shore has arranged to cover
all its trains, and Mr.. Kline proposes to
run all trains on time in and out Appli-
cations came pouring in on him from eX-
perienced men, and he has determined to
never employ any man who has deserted
the road without cause, and will insure
steady employment to all men now en-
gagged who are competent to do their
duty.
