we think they ought to transport the mails
and freight without regard 10 the Pull.
mans.
Richards & Co., wholesale druggists, 4O6
Clay-Tbe strike is injuring our business
greatly. 1t seems 10 US that the railroad
ought to leave the Pullman question out of
the issue.
a. Zellerbach & Son. 419 Clay-We hesi-
tate at expressing an opinion. The strike
is an immense calamity. The railroad
does not seem to care much for San Fran
cisco. We decline to express sympathy for
either strikers or railroad.
Union Bag and Paper Company, 413
ClSy-We reserve our opinion.
| Sherry Lawrence & Co., 321 Clay-The
/ strike is an immense injury to the country.
! The molders' strike of two years ago was
/ calamity to the community from which it
! has never recoveIed. The strikers will
! probably lose. Difficulties between CAPT.
! tai and labor can and ought to be settled
| on basis of good faith. In our opinion
! the strikers will lose the present fight
! NJ. & c. Mhngels, wholesale grocers,
! 319 Clay-The strike business is bad all
around. We have no further opinion to
express.
John A. Lennon, 317 Clay-The whole
| question is a serious one and difficult to
decide. 1t affects individuals and mer-
| chants at well. think the railroad should
! allow the Pullmans to fight their own bat
ties. The public should be accommodated
ana the regular trains should be run.
Martin. Feusier & Co.. produce. 315 Clay
! The remedy for the present strike is arbi-
/ tration. Business is at standstill. We
| can neither receive nor ship. Pending
settlement the Pullmsn issue ought to be
dropped in The interest Of the people Of
California. Shippers, producers and con-
sumers are all suffering now. If the fight
| continues catastrophe may result.
Sawyer Tanning Company, wool and
leather, 312 Clay--No mails, no orders, no
remittances. We cannot ship our wool
| or leather, and we cannot realize on our
products. 81 If this strike keeps Oh we must
! soon lessen our output and curtail the
! number of our workmen. Wewould close
| down now, but we must keep our men to-
| gether. The time may come, however,
I when we shall be compelled to discharge
all our men. These strikes are direct in
jury to labor. and events have always
proved such. We have no remedy to sug
gest exec pt that Of arbitration.
Wilmer Knox Company, produce. ZIG
Clay-We have nothing coming in and OF
course no sales. Our country customers
are suffering. They are largely dependent
upon our sales, which are for cash, and
they feel the lack of remlttances keenly.
The farmers are blue and will remain SO
until the strike is broken. Their produce
is accommodating fast and no chance to dis
pose of it in sight. The outlook Is bad.
Ii. Palmer & Co.. 222 Clay-The etrike is
a bad job. We don't indorse the strikers.

! discover 1t when too late.
Bray's Sons & Co., Wholesale grocers,
! 900 Clay-The strike is bad for business.

| Clay-The manager expressed the opinion
| that the strike was about over; said ne
was man Cd a salary himself, and on
| general principles sympathized with men
| who were trying to maintain their rights
| and secure fair remuneration. "In this
! fight" said he, "the railroad ought to win.
| II the strikers win now they will be at 1t
| again. The railroads will be gone. Labor
ought not to be allowed to dictate In the
present instance"
Schellessenger & Bender, wine, 704
| Clay-Eyery man ought to get all the
/ wages be can, but no man shall tell me to
! whom ] shall sell my wine. He may re-

Observation-Disclosures is paralyzed with
present conditions; think both parties are
to blame.

sad thing for the workmen. and we hope
