SquaIld Quarters.

To the Four Hundred, whose chief
aim Is to kill time as pleasantly as pos
sible. and whose only trouble about
money is that of going to the bank to
get IL, the problem of existence for the
great mass of mankind has little inter-
est, says the New York Herald. Even
many who are not of the charmed cir
Gle that constitutes society" but who
live i'm comparative comfort, pass their
ceasing struggle waged among that
class of breadwinners who are forced
TO rely on strength without skill for
their daily sustenance.
Oven at its best, tenement life has
few attractions and many features
that render it disagreeable, If not re-
pulsive. A room in a great tenement
building is in no sense of the word n
substitute for home. The jewellers in
tenements have a shelter, but no home
That magic word arouses no sentiment
among the inhabitants Of a tenement
To them the word home means a crowd
ed room in which all necessary work
of the household is carried on, where
the cooking and eating and sleeping
and housework are all done; room
where the smell OF stale food and Of
soapsuds is ever present; where in win
ter the atmosphere is close and steamy;
where in summer, whatever the tenn

heat of the stove on which cooking and

BLOCKADE IN CALIFORNIA.
Strikers killing" Engines without Fear
of the Militia.

SAN FRANCISCO. July THE strikers at
the Oakland yards and along the mole
ard on the narrow Suage lines effsctualiy
maiatciu the blockad on all lines run
ming down the mole. Wherever the etrik-
ers find a live engine they promptly take
possession Of it, rake out the fires, blow
off the steam and leave it dead on the
trucks. There were no acts of violence
done. The sheriff of Alameda county ar
rested some men engaged in the act ,of
killing an engine. They We're released on
their promise not to interfere again with
railroad property.
The strikers have no fear of the militia.
They say not man i'll all the command
under arms AZ the army will obey an Or
der to fire or use the bayonet. Their au-
thorities for this statement are the boys
in blue themselves. From present indi-
cations the company will make no effort
to resume local and suburban traffic for
some time to come. SO the only means of
bay travel will be by the creek route.
Eastern and foreign mails and mails for
southern California and Arizona are being
sent out via steamers north and south to
connec. with rail routes not affected by
the big strike.

4. Il. U. nIen Decide to Tie Up All Lines
Centcring in Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, July Slowly, but surely,
the great railroad strike is sweeping east
ward. After an all night session of the
members of the A. Il. L., in which every
road running into this city was represent
ed, it was decided to tie up every inc CEN
tering in Cleveland. BY O'Clock the
Big -Four yards We're reported dead, with
the exception of IN occasional passenger
train. The night force had quit and the
day men failed to appear for duty. y like
condition of affairs prevailed on tn Cieve-
land, Canton and Southern road where
work ceased at an early hour and the yards
We're silent rs the grave.
As soon a. the long session of the = r.
L. came to an end numerous comm tees
Were started GU, in all directions to no
tify the men in the numerous Yards TO
cease work. AT o'clock the Lake Shore
men struck. Out of forty-eight yard
crews and engines on that road III this
city only one engine was working. and
the men of that said they had not been
notified yet. One or Two passenger trains
arrived and departed during the early
morning hours, but as long freight rains
were belng constantly pulled lutr the
yards and deserted on the main Ira k it
seemed probable that a blockade. would
soon result. The Cleveland and Fits
burg men promptly stopped work " hen
notified to do so by the committee and at
$50 II. N. only one crew out of thirty was
at work
The grievance committee of the Brother
hood OF Locomotive Engineers on the
Lake Shore road went to Chicago fol the
purpose of obtaining IA conference with
President John Newell, who is now in
the latter city. The engineers grieva nce
lies in connection with the rule which
was some time ago put in force by the
Lake Shore, virtually holding engineers
responsible Tor any pecuuiary loss result
ing fiom accidents Ill cases where the
company considers the engineer nc, gent
in duty. The engineers will ask o have
this Iule rescindcd. The result OF the
conference is awaited with much interest,
as it may have an important bearing on
the present strike.
Judge Kicks of the United States cir
cult court has issued n restra lining order
against Eugene V. Debs and abou. twenty
five others restraining them from in any
way interfering with the United states
mails or interstate commerce. A dispatch
just received from Ironwood, Mich, says
that the condition of affairs there is very
serious, and collision between troops
and strikers is sure to follow the proposed
attempt to resume work.

are glad to see active service and will sus-

from Fort Brady, Mich, arrived and
marched to the lake front to join the
troops modified there under General
Miles command.
Meeting of Labor Leaders.
BY far the largest crowd yet seen around
the strikers headquarters assembled at
Uhlichs hall. Many were present to at
tend the conference of labor leaders called
by President Debs Of the American Rail-
way union, to protest against the presence
Of United States troops here during the
strike. 1t was the prevailing opinion
among all the headquarters that the
American Railway union was preparing
to play its trump card in calling out all
members of trades unions in Cook

battle. At l o'clock the meeting adj
journed after appointing n committee of
three with full power to act. The various
organizations represented at jh;,ch's
hall will hold meetings Sunday nsAt TO
discuss the situation.
VIII Hold the City Responsible.
An attempt will be made by the rail
roads to hold the city of Chicago and
county of Cook liable for all the financial
loss sustained by them from the desiruc-
tion Of their property by the rioters. Six
