spread ca1au1lLy.
Already the wholesale shipping houses
have begun to lay off their employees. and
local factories are shutting down, for they
are unable to fill country orders. and
there is little or nothing for their en-
ployes to do.
The hardware firm of Schaw, Ingram
81 hatcher announce that they will be
obliged to close down their pipe works,
which win throw some fifty men out OF
employment. and the candy factory OF II.
Fisher has already shut down.
The employees in the country order de-
partment of Weinstock, Lubin & Co.
were laid off some days ago; the Capital
Box Factory has ceased operations.
throwing twenty men out of work; the
Capital Soap Company viii reduce its
force of employees to such as are required
for the retail trade, and other firms are
doing likewise.
Clark Bros. 81 Stanley have been
obliged to lay off few Of their cigar
makers, owing to the fact that some of
their tobacco is tied up on the road.
Last evening an employe Of the Buffalo
Brewing Company stated that some fifty
or sixty men had been laid Of, as the
company cannot ship its product to in
terror points.
A few days more of the strike will
cause such pinching of business in this
city as was never before felt.
This fear of financial and business dis
aster was increased yesterday by the re-
ceipt of two dispatches that very seriously
disturbed the people OF this city. includ-
ing all classes. One Of these came from
Stockton, and reads:
THE FIRST REAL MENACE.
CfocI-foq TlfI4y Q he T2o0gd of Vtro7a of
Stockton today t0ired Il. ". Tonne an offer to
FURNISH the Southern Pacific, free Of cost, a
suitable site for railroad shops. and guarantee
Of Jul protection to the company in its kaagfWI
business.
The report here that the company contenl-
plated removing It's shops from Sacramento
prompted this action.
The Board Of Trade Is prepared to furnish as
many acres as are needed for the shops.
RAILROAD coMPANY's ULTIMATUM.
Although the shops here were ordered
closed last Friday, it really amounted to
nothing more than temporary lay-off of
the employees. But now comes an order
from General Manager A. n. Towne to
the effect that all employees who refuse to
go on duty at l P. NJ. to-day will be con-
sidered as having voluntarily thrown up
their places. The dispatch reads:
SAN Francisco, July 2, 1894.
J. A. Fillmore, Sacramento: The para
lived condition of the country consequent
upon the strike is such that we will not
be able to start up all the works at the
shops, but it is our desire to make every
effort to put our train service in full
operation, since our President has told
rs over the wires we will stand by those
who stand by US.
In this connection we shall treat all
employees in this service who do not re-
sumo their duties at l P. NJ. tomorrow,
July Sd, as having voluntarily left the
service of the company. A. n. ToWNE.
