San Francisco. July 1.-THE South
ern Pacific company continues to run
passenger trains more or less regularly
during the hours OF daylight. but all
night trains are still being abandoned.
For the present but one west bound
and east bound overland train day
will be run on the overland route.
Non-union crews are not tiocking to d.
vision headquarters. so this is probably
the reason why so few freight trains
are moved. The first fruit train dis
patched for the east since the strike
was ordered by Debs was sent out OF
Sacramento this morning. At Sacra-
mento the only exciting incident OF the
day was the dispatching Of train
bearing sixty United States regulars
TO Dunsmir. on the Oregon branch.
The company's agent at Dunsmir re-
ported that the strikers there were be-
coming ugly. The strikers at sacra-
mento continue active. however. Yes
terday several hundred men who had
obeyed the order to strike returned TO
work In the machine shops This morn
ing most Of them remained away. The
men have been intimidated by the
strikers and feared violence at the
hands of the American Railway union
when they went back to work this
morning.
Vice President Towne OF the Southern
Pacific posted notice today that the
Sacramento shops win be recpened to-
morrow and that protection Will be af-
forded all men who may return TO
work. Mr. Towne also publicly denies
the published statement that men re-
turning to work are compelled to Sign
an agreement to stand aloof from all
labor unions. He declares that the
company simply insists that It's em-
ployes shali have nothing to do with
the American Railway union.
In Oakland. as well % In sacramento,
the railroad officials are meeting with
difficulty IN getting enough men TO run
their shops and man their trains Ihe
strikers have been pretty successful
In intlmldating the men who otherWlse
might have stepped into the vacant
positions To-day, however, few more
men returned 10 work
Many OF these men were escoTteu
and form their work By troops. The
passage OF those odd looking process
sions through the streets afforded the
only excitement In Oakland today. one
man, supposed to be striker. ana IN
whose possession several sticks OF dy'
mantle were found, waa arrested near
the railroad yards by the soldiers and
taken 10 prison. The strikers today M
sttuted habeas corpus proceedings to
recover Edward Jost, one Of their lead
crs who ls locked up in IL box car on
the mole and guarded by soldiers Jost,
disguised as sailor. was arrested
last night. The soldiers found him
crcuched under q Pullman car in the
railroad yards.
The railroad compHny's pay car. hav.
ing over $4,000, passed down the Oak.
land mole today and through the city
dlsburslug wages for May and June
Strikers who came TO the car were told
90 decide whether they would return &c
work or not. II they elected TO return
their May wages were paid them. II
they refused, every dollar that the com.
pany owed them was handed out The
pay car Will proceed by easy stages In
the San joaquin valley along tho
bran ches to Los Angeles and eastward
as far as El PaBo.
