San Francisco, July 12.-Since
yesterdays horrid work at the trestle
west of Sacramento the strike situa-
ton in California has been less
alarming. In Oakland there has
been rioting of more or less serious
nature since early this morning.
Trouble began at daybreak when a
mob of several hundred strikers
rushed into the yards on the mole.
They killed all the locomotives that
had been fired up and in order to fur
Their block the tracks they derailed
one locomotive and long line of
coaches. Later in the morning an
other crowd of strikers ran the yards
and wrecked 4 turntable by throwing
heavy freight cars into the pit.
Damage was also done at the round
house. Railroad company's deputy
sheriffs and deputy I S marshals Of
fered very little resistance t. riotous
strikers. The trouble came to an
end this evening, however, when a
force of $50 I S marines from Marc
Island were landed there by the
ferry steamer Alameda which trans
ported them from the Navy Yard.
This force of marines is under COM
mand of Lieutenant Commander
William II Reeder Of the cruiser
