SAN FRANCISCO, July 22.-The oak
land and San Francisco lodges of the A.
r. u. decline to consider the strike off,
and announce they will stand firm. This
course was determined by unanimous
vote at special meetings held last night
Members Of these branches of the union
contend that President Debs cannot call
the strike off without the consent of two
thirds of the local unions. They deny
that there are any reflections in their
ranks and say that the action Of Sacra-
mento strikers in captivating was caused
by the weakening Of only a few Pnem-
bers.
Superintendent Fillmore was asked if
there was anything to be added TO the
notice received by him from the A. r. u.
committee declaring the strike off.
Nothing" he replied, except to EN-
phasize the fact that the surrender is I'M
conditional. We have made no promises
and will take back only such men as we
have places for and whose services We
are willing to accept. / do not know as

tfons of its own free will without so
licitation on our part, as the strike has

simply n Bottle of Turpentine.

CHICAGO, July 2O.-The story that a
bomb was carried into the Pullman
building during the strike with designs
against the life Of Vice-President Wickes
turns out to be a fake. The bottle was
filled with turpentine and is supposed to
have been sent into the building by n
man who few days before warned Mr..
Wickes that an attempt would be made
to blow up the building. II is believed
that he sent the bottle into the building
to corrObOrate his story and to induce the
Pullman company to reward him. James
Monaghan who carried the bottle, was
entirely innocent of any knowledge Of
the affair. He carried it in because he
was given so cents 10 do so.

This morning District Attorney Mil

usual chancery summons was issued and
those named in the injunction We're di-
rected to appear in court yesterday to
answer. That was what brought Debs

been retained to defend him and his
brother officers. The information was
read 10 the court by Attorney Milchrist.

reading Of the information Attorney c.
r. Peck, representing the receivers Of the

long expected decision I'm Conductor
HEARTS case was handed down by Judge
Ross in the federal court today. Heartt
was adjudged not guilty of contempt Of
court in disobeying the injunction. Judge
Ross found that the matter Of resigna-
ton after he was ordered 10 go TO work
was imma terial and that the refusal to
go 70 work after being asked TO take a
train out was part and parcel Of one
transaction, and that Heartt was not
acting in bad faith when he put on his
uniform and went down 10 the depot to
take out a train. He said the opprobrium
that comes from being "scab" was
what deferred Heartt from taking out
a train.

TROUBLE on THE WABASH.
Places of Old Engineers aud Firemen
Taken by New Men.

TOLEDO. July 2O.-A condition Of at
fairs has developed among the brother
nod Of engineers on the Wabash system,
which may lead to trouble in that order.
Since the Wabash refused traffic after the
strike, some 200 enginemen. Of whom 400
are engineers. largely brotherhood men,
and the other 300 firemen, have never
been called on 20 report for duty, while
their engines are run by new men. Neither
have they been notified OF dismissal. They
are simply hung up" The brotherhood
engineers assume that they are not
wanted They say that OF the new men
who have taken their places a number
are brotherhood men. and that for the
latter TO displace them is contrary TO the
laws Of the order. They propose to make
things lively I'm the order for some one,
particularly for Chief Arthur.

and their places cannot be filed. We
are constantly receiving kilograms from
all parts Of the country, stating that the
men are still out and determined to stay
out until the strike is declared off, In
this city the switchmen, with the excep-
tion Of very few, are out as solidly for
us as they were the day the strike was
declared. While the companies say that
they are running their trains on time IL
Is nevertheless a fact that they are bad
" crippled. especially with their freight
service. We are confident Of ultimate
success and cur organization is growing
at the rate of coo members a day."

a TRICI< ny a STRIKER.
Missouri Pacific Has Not BOycOtted


ST. LOUIS, July 21.--The supposed boy
eotting of the A. r. u. by the Missouri
Pacific was shown today TO be a sharp
trick by a striker, who failed to be rein
stated. This striker, with a number OF
others also left out, presented to Yard
superintendent Jones "clearances," or
certificates OF competency, which they
wished him TO sign 10 enable them 20 get
work elsewhere. All the certificates but
the one in question bore no reference to
the A. II. u. They were all signed at
once, the exceptional one not being read
by Mr. Jones, who supposed them all
alike When signed an effort was i'm
mediately made 10 take advantage of the
occurrence, but prompt disavowal has
prevented the invoking of the law as the
strikers threatened.
