WILL NOT RESIST TROOPS.
The Attitude Of the Southern Pacific
Men Defined at Sacramento.
BIZ The A@oclntcd Press.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, July 11.-Ex- -Attor-
ney-General Hart, legal adviser to the
strikers, has cautioned them not to resist
the troops and the prospect is that the
soldiers will meet with no resist
ance when they reach here.
Harry Knox, chairman of the
mediation committee, has sent the
following dispa ch to General Manager
Towne OF the Southern Pacific: "We,
the members of the American Railway
Union,will move and see safely to destina-
tion all trains including local, overland,
mail, passenger and freight trains on con-
dition all employees who are now out and
those who have been discharged for
refusing 10 handle Pullman cars be rein
stated without prejudice. This has been
our position from the beginning
of the strike" Knox states
that his object in sending the dispatch Is
to refute the assertion OF the Southern
Pacific Company that the strikers have at
all times persistently refused to take out
any trains. A large number of strikers
are patrolling the river banks to warn
the men OF the approach of the steamers
carrying the United States troops.

SEVERELY INJURED.

Peter Phillips, 21 years old, employed in
the United States Gutta Percha Paint
Works on Mathewson street sustained
severe injuries early this morning while
working on machine. Phillips was in
the act OF starting the machine
when his shirt sleeve became
entangled in gear and before he could
stop the machine or release himself
his arm was drawn into the
gearing, lacerating the flesh
badly. His predicament was discovered
by fellow workmen who succeeded in
stopping the machine. The injured
man was taken to DR.. Brug's office
where his wounds were dressed, and then
to his home at the corner of Chalkstone

LAST EDITION
NO ONE STRUCK.
Sovereign's Orders Not
Obeyed Even in Chicago.
While Elsewhere Knights Of Labor Pay
Scant Courtesy in His Big Manifesto

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE threatened gen.
eral paralysis of labor OF all sorts in Chi
cago and the general walkout of the
Knights of Labor and their sympathizers
in all parts of the country, which were to
have taken place this morning, appear to
have proved failures.
In this city there are no signs of obe-
dience to the order issued by the repre-
sentatives of allied labor, and not all that,
but the railroads centering here show de-
cided improvement in the traffic.
Passenger trains, through, local and
suburban, are moving on all roads with
out interruption and freight business is
rapidly assuming normal condition.
For the first time within week train
loads of live stock were received at the
stock yards, and other train loads
carrying beef and hog products to
the eastern markets were sent out in very
considerable volumes. Advices to- the As
sociated Press from the great centers
OF population of the United States
and from many of the less
important cities fail to show that the
order or request of Grand Master Work
man Sovereign OF the Knights of Labor
for general cessation OF work
has met with the slightest recognition
by the members of the order or by those
who sympathized with them. In general,
the situation at noon indicated that the
last move OF the labor leaders was taken
without adequate knowledge of the
temper OF their followers and that unless
something unforeseen shall intervene to
radically change the aspect OF affairs, the
strike is over.
