San Francisco, July 1.-THE Southern
Pacific company continues to run passen-
ger trains more or less regularly during
the hours of daylight, but all night trains
are still being abandoned.
For the present but one west hound
and one eastbound overland train a day
will be run on the Ogden route.
Non-union train crews are not f1ocking
to division headquarters and this is prob
ably the reason why so 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 dispatching of a
train bearing sixty United States regu-
tarsto Dunsmuir, on the Oregon branch
Tie company's agent at Dunsmulr repor-
tea that the strikers there were becom-
ing ugly. The strikers at Sacramento
continue active, however.
yesterday several hundred men who
had oheyed the order to strike returned
10 work in the machine shops. This
morning most Of them remained away
The men have been intimidated by 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 gen.
eraI manager OF the Southern Pacific
posted a notice today that the Sacra-
rnento shops would be reopened tomor-
forded all men who desired to return to
work. Mr.. Towne also publicly denies
the published statements that men re-
turning TO work will be compelled to sign
an agreement TO stand aloof from all
labor unions. He declares that the COM
pany simply insists that its employees
shall have nothing to do with the a. Il.
IN Oakland, as well as in Sacramento,
the railroad officials are meeting with
difficulty in getting enough men to run
Inelf SHOPS ana man their trains: me
strikers have been pretty successful in
intimidatlng the men who otherwise
might have stepped into the vacant po-
sitions Today, however, a few more
men returned.
Many of these men were escorted to
and from their work by troops of cav
airy. The passage of these odd-looking
professions through the streets of Oak
land afforded about the only excitement
at that point today. One man, supposed
to be a 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 IL box car on the mole and guarded
b. soldiers. Jost, disguised as a sailor
was arrested last night. The soldiers
found him crouching under a Pullman
car in the railroad yard.
The railroad company's pay. car, bear
ing over $l50,00e p, ssed down the Oakland
mole today and through the city, dis
burslng wages for May and June. Strik-
ers who came to the car were told to
decide whether they would return to
work or not If they elected to return,
their May wages were paid them; if
they refused, every dollar that the com
pany owed them was handed out. 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 IS far as I'll Paso.
