Southern Pacific Trains A.bsnd oned In
the Yards at Oakland.
OAKLAND, CAL, June 1.-THE boy
colt against the Pullman coaches went
into effect on the Southern Pacific road
at noon today. The local branch OF thu
American Railway union met last night
and considered the order of President
Debs of the A. r. T., and decided to put
it into effect. A telegram was then sent
to the officials of the Southern Pacific
in San Francisco. notifying them that no
Pullnans would be handled by the
. members of the order after noon today.
NJ In the yards of the railroad company
as soon as the hour referred to arrived,
men who had been cleaning Pullmans
abandoned their work, leaving it half
finished. The engineers in charge OF
switch engines refused to pull the Pull
mans from the yards to the mole.
As soon ae the railroad officials learned
that Pullmans could not be used they
decided that no overland trains would
be run out at all. Accordingly the train
that should have left this city at p.
m. for Stockton, which carries the Yo.
semitic sleeper; the 80 p. n. for Los
Angeles; the 6 80 p. IN. for Ogden and
the z 80 D. m. for Portland were aban-
doned. In fact, they were not made up
in the yards. All these trains would
have to take Pullmans out. Ii is there
fore impossible for person to enter or
leave California via the Southern Pacific.
The railroad people say there is no use
running half-sized trains. Several hun
bred passengers who had bought tickets
10 Ia alo1l so N Eror
cisco, came to the mole to catch some OF
the trains but were obliged to return to
the city.
Train "a, which was due in the after
noon, had not arrived at O'Clock to-
night. 1t is made up at Sacramento
whence it takes Pullman to Raymond
where the Pullman changes for Los An
peles. Employees refused to handle the
train at Sacramento. Train No. 20 from
the south arrived at 10 p. IN. on time,
hauling one Pullman from Texas. This
sleeper came through on the ground that
it had started before the order went into
effect.
No arrangements have been made for
the running of the overland trains to-
morrow, The accommodation trains are
cunning as usual.
This evening the following notice was
posted by Division Superintendent A.
ID. Wilder of the Southern Pacific:
NOTICE TO PASSENGERS.
We have as yet been unable to have
the trains properly made up to 60 out on
schedule time. 1t is very doubtful if we
will be able to get them ready for several
hours. Any passengers wishing to re-
turn to San Francisco will be permitted
TO do 80 by showing their tickets to the
gateman.
The American Railway union men say
they have the sympathy OF the other
railroad employees.
Meetings OF the Brotherhood Of Loco
motive Firemen and of the American
Railway union were held tonight. Al
the session of the first mentioned frater-
nifty resolutions were adopted indorsing
the action of the American Railway
union, and steps were taken to give the
boycott substantial aid. Over 100 new
members were received into the Ameri-
can Railway union at its session last
night. Resolutions were received from
the Switchmen's union, upholding the
action OF the American Railway union.
The order is preparing statement for
publication tomorrow. This will give
the original cause of the boycott, the
grievances Of Pullman employees and an
assurance that those interested in the
movement are ready TO perform any
duty except that OF handling Pullman
cara.
