By the Associated Press,
SAN Francisco, July 1.-THE South.
ern Pacific continues to run passenger
trains more or less regularly during the
hours of daytime, but all night trains
are still abandoned. For the present
bat one west-bound and one eaet-bound
overland train day will be run on the
Ogden route. Non.union train crews
are not focking to division headquarters
and this is probably tho reason why 10
few freight trains are being moved. The
FIRST fruit train dispatched for the east
since the strike was ordered by Debs,
was sent out of Sacramento this morn
ing.
At Sacramento the only exciting incl
dent OF today was the dspatching OF
train bearing so United States regulars
to Dunsmuir, on the Oregon branch.
The company's agent at Dunsmuir re-
ported that the strikers there were be-
coming ugly. The strikers at Sacra-
mento continue active. however. Yes
terday several hundred men who had
obeyed the order to strike returned to
work in the machine shops. This morn
ing most of them remained AWAY. The
men had been intimidated by the strik-
ers and feared violence at the hands OF
the A. r. U. men if they went back to
work this morning. A. N. Towne, vice.
president and general manager OF the
Southern Pacific, posted notices today
that the Sacramento shops would be re.
opened tomorrow and that protection
would be afforded all men who desired
to return to work.
MIR. Towne also publicly denies the
! published statements that men return
ing to work will be compelled to eign an
agreement to stand aloof from all labor
unions. He declares that the company
simply ineiste that its employees ahalI
have nothing to do with the A. R. u.
In Oakland, as well as Sacramento,
| the railroad officials are meeting with
difficulty in getting enough men to run
their shops and man their trains. The
strikers have been pretty successful in
intimidating the men who otherwise
might have stepped into the vacant
positions. Today, however, few more
men returned. Many of these men were
escorted to and from their work by
troops of cavalry. The passage of these
oao-iooAiAH DtoCocblOh6 tHIOuku Gu6
streets of Oakland afforded about the
only excitement at that point today.
One man, supposed TO be striker, and
in whose possession several sticks of
dynamite were found, was arrested near
the railroad yards by soldiers and taken
to the city prison.
The strikers today instituted habeas
corpus proceedings to recover Edward
Jost, one of their leaders, who is
locked up in box car on the mole
and guarded By soldiers. Jost, disguised
as sailor. was arrested last night.
The soldiers found him crouching under
a Pullman car in the railroad yards.
The railroad company's pay car, bear
ing over $l50,000, passed down the Oak
land mole today and through the city,
disbursing wages for May and June.
Strikers who came to the car were told
to decide whether they would return to
work or not. II they elected to return
their May wages were paid them; il
they refused. every dollar that the com
pany owed them was handed ont. The
pay car will proceed by easy stages into
the San Joaquin valley, along all the
branches, thence to Los Angeles, to
Yuma and eastward as far as Ell Paso.
