is broken, at least temporarily. Trains
with Pullmans attached are going out
on schedule time without disturbance.
AT 35 the Stockton train with the
Yosemite sleeper, pulled out, and 10
minutes later the Los Angeles express
followed. This train was composed OF
two mail cars, four passenger coaches,
diner and four eleepers. On board were
t.7o United States deputy marshals, who
will go as far as Mendoza, whore the
jurisdiction of the northern district OF
California ends. At Mendoza deputies
from the southern district will take
charge. There were quite number OF
passengers on board. though none OF the
cars were we'll filed.
The Ogden express will not 60 out to-
night, but the Oregon train ia now being
made up and will start at O'Clock. The
local train for Freeno left at $3.50. and
the Martinez and Napa train at 4:30.
FIREMEN ORDERED TO WORK.
Master Mechani, Mckenzie, of the
Southern Pacific, stated tonight that the
Pacific coast head OF the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Firemen had received dis
patch from Grand Chief Sargent telling
him that unless the firemen employed
by the Southern Pacific company re-
turned to work Immediately, they would
be expelled from the order. Sargent
further stated that the fremen had no
interest in the fight against Pullman,
and had no business to strike. Master
Mechanic Mckenzie expressed it as his
opinion that the tirernen would pay no
attention to Sargent's order but would
send in their charters as they are too
deeply involved to back out now.
T THE oREioN EXPRESS srsl:sED.
OAKLAND PIER, Cs4.. June %,.-Sp. p.
-Satisfed shat today they had sgiY4n
the strikers body blow. Division
Superintendent Wilder and Master
Mechanic Mckenzie stepped on board
the Oregon express as it pulled out at
Z AS tonight. They will go as far as
Port Costa, where possible trouble is ex-
pected. Ii the train passes that point
in safety it will probably get through to
Portland. The train was made up of
two Pullmans, second-class sleeper,
two passenger coaches. one baggage,
two mail cars and box Col loaded with
mail. The mail consisted OF about 1900
sacks, all that had accumulated during
the past three days. Only about 20
passengers went on the train. 1t will
not 90 through Sacramento, where
trouble is anticipated. but will cut
around that city to Woodland. Two
United States deputy marshals accom-
panied this train.
No more trains will be run out to-
night, but the railroad people say that
tomorrow will see the road in full opera
ton. No trains have come in from out
side points today. Tonight large
force of deputy shcriffs are on guard at
the mole. but their duties i'll be light,
as no strikers are about.
ENGINEERS REFUSE TO STRIKE.
The Oakland lodge of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers decided today,
after a protracted session, that they
would not participate in the strike.
Furthermore. they decided that they
would work with non-union fremen.
They agree not to work with what are
known as "scabs," but they define ecab
as renegade union man who takes the
place OF striker. This action will hurt
the American Railway union, es they
had depended on the engineers to help
them out.
There is q rumor that the telegraphers
had received orders to strike at mid.
night, but it is not given much Gre.
dence.
STRIKERS NOT DIsCoNCERTED.
10 p. m.-The strikers do not seem to
be disconnected by the success OF the
railroad company in getting trains out
and confidently predict that the trains
will not reach their destination. They
also soy there is limit to the company's
success that Corresponds to the number
OF cars in the yards here; that these
cara will all be cent out in day or SO,
and as none are coming in the company
will have to cease operations for lack OF
material to work with.
The American Railway union men
say the report that Chief Sargent had
ordered the firenen back to work is un-
true. and was spread by the railroad to
influence faint-hearted strikers. They
also profess not to be worried by the at
titude Of. the engineers. They argue
that even if those aristocrats Of the rail
refuse to help them, the situation will
be no worse than it ia at present. Only

working against them, ond outside OF
this diviaion the engineefs are with
them.
West Oakland ia as quiet tonight az
the veriest country town. The strikers
are holding a meeting, but there is
nothing for them to do except talk.
The train dispatchers' office at the
Oakland mole received reports from Port
Costa that the Los Angeles express,
Oregon express and other trains passed
there safely.
PAssED PORT COSTA.
PoRr COSTA, Cal, June 30 The strike
