Oakland and Frisco.

Mass Meeting of Sympath1zers IN
Oakland and Frisco.
San Francisco, July Mass meetings
held last night in this city and Oakland
Endorsed the strikers. The assemblage
in this, city was a notable gathering.
The Metropolitan tabernacle was
damned, and thousands, unable to OBJ
tain admission, organized an overflow
meeting IN the open air. The greatest
enthusiasm prevailed. Corporate mo-
nopoly was regarded as a common en-
envy, and every point against the Pull
man Car company or its railroad allies
was greeted with cheers. Both the
president and his advisers were scored,
and every mention of the name of G. P.
Huntington was the signal for loud
groans and Kisses. Speeches were
made by A. w. Thompson, who pre-
sided; E. r. Yost. as the representative
of the American Railway union; E. K.
Collier Alfred Thurman, president of
the Federated Trades; NJ. McGlynn,
secretary of the Trades Council; A. T.
Rodgers and r. T. Falland. Resolu-
lions were adopted promising moral
support to the A. R. u, condemning
George NJ. Pullman and the Southern
Pacific company, countenancing the
strike, attacking federal interference
in the difficulty, and demanding that
the military service of this state and
nation should be remodeled, classifying
men fit for duty in such a way that
those who have the most property shall
be drafted first into the militia and
army and ordered first to the front in
time of instruction

Los Angeles, Cal, July THE rail-
road companies, under cover of United
States troops, have at last broken the
blockade in south ern California The
initial victory was won on the Santa
Fe road this morning, when an over
land passenger train. made up with
Pullmans, was dispatched for Chicago.
A guard of fifty United States soldiers
will go with the train as far as The
Needles.
By clever ruse, trouble was avoided
1t was announced that a train was
about to be sent from the Southern
Pacific depot, and while the crowd was
running to that point, the Santa Fe
train rolled out unmoIested.
Later in the day trains began to
move over the Southern Pacific on
schedule time for Santa Ana. Santa
Monica, Santa Barbara and Cotton. Lo-
cal trains were also sent out over the
Santa F'e.
Non-union crews manned all these
trains.
The Southern Pacific train to Cotton
was the first over that line for ten
days
The case of Conductor Heartt. who
refused to take out a train and was

that he would defer his decision I'M

Rights of the Strikers.

The members of the American Rail
way union in executive session in this
city yesterday afternoon propounded
two questions with the object of sub
hitting them for legal opinions.
The questions were: First, Have
not the members of organized labor the
right to peacably importune those who
are at work to desist, in furtherance of
labor's united endeavor to achieve its
purpose?"
second-"Has not labor the same
right to organize in it's interests as has
capital?"
The Herald having received a copy
of the questions submitted them to a
number of the leading legal luuinar-
les. The general opinion was that on
the face Of them both questions should
be answered in the affirmative and as
regards the latter there could be no
doubt that laborers had a perfect right
to combine to further their interests by
all lawful means
The first query lead up to the ques-
ton whether the members had a right
to go on the premises of the railroad
companies and there "importune" other
men when engaged in their duties to
deSlSt- Inc general opinion as TO TINS
was that when employees quit the ser
vice they had no right to go upon prem
ises belonging to railroad corporations
except they had businesy to transact
with the owners of said premises AS to
whether the strikers were justified by
the law in going to men at work on the
companies engines and asking them to
desist, Judge Zane was not prepared to
give a definite opinion without careful
consideration of all the circumstances
which might surround a particular
case.
Those lawyers who gave it as their
opinion that the strikers had a right
to 'fmportune' the men to desist from
work, were particular TO make it plain
THAT no right existed to go beyond
'inportuning, and that any threat of
a covert nature or otherwise was dis
tinctly and Enthusiastically Illegal.

OGDEN ON FIRE.

At o'clock this morning fire broke
out in the warehouse of Sidney Stevens
at Ogden, and communicated to his
store. From there it spread to the
opera house adjoining, and at 4 o'clock
1T looked as though all these and other
buildings near it would go.
A fire was also discovered in Boyle's
furniture store, which seemed to be
also doomed to destruction. There was
every reason to believe that the entire
block would be consumed, as a strong
wind was blowing.

Chicago, July An open air mass
meeting was held tonight in Kensing-
ton Over a thousand people were
present. Chairman Thomas Hkatecote,
of the Pullman strike committee, ad-
dressed the meeting. He deprecated
any violence and urged the strikers to
maintain decency and good order, but
at the same time he besought them not
to weaken in their efforts to win the
strike.
He was told Chief Arthur, of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
was in the city, and said the engineers
would be ordered out in a short time.

CANNING FACTORY.

New One Starts Operations at Webster City.
WEBSTER CITY, Aug. 90. Two months
ago the canning factory in this city
was built and it has just begun opera
tions. Mr.. Stare, the proprietor of the
factory, says that he will be able to
ship 1,000,O 900 cans of corn out of the
state Hamilton, Wright and Story
counties have been the center of the
worst of the Iowa drouth, but to-day
the corn is presenting an admirable
appearance owing to the recent rains.
and the farmers in this section say it
will produce more than two-thirds of a
good crop. The crop looks especially
well on low ground and as the opinion
prevails among farmers that the drouth
was in measure caused by the great
amount of thing which has recently
been done, next year many say they
will allow the ponds and bayous to
stand on their land to furnish moisture.
