The Passenger blockade Broken-strik-
ers Making Trouble.
WEST OAKLAND, July 14.-Whntever
may be the future OF the great strike.
the blockade on this end of the western
division OF the Southern Pacific is
broken. Beginning at o'clock this
morning, local trains have been running
regularly every half hour to Oakland,
Alameda and Berkeley, carrying large
numbers OF passengers. To do this re-
quires nine locomotives additional to
switch and yard engines. The COM
pany says oil are manned by
employees working before the strike.
President Roberts denies this. and ssye
but one fireman returned to work; all
the others are new men. 1--WE are per-
fectly satisfied with the situation this
morning." said he. 'The company has
not Iren to move trains and cannot get
them unless the strikers 60 back. They
may move local trains and even eend
out few passengers, but the blockade
in freight traffic Is not broken and re-
sumption of general business impossi.
ble."
Notwithstanding Roberts statement,
with tie prospect. The fact that the
trains gives the appearance OF success,
and the strikers are correspondingly dis-
coureged.
A delegation from the Brotherhood Of
+ Engineers went to Stockton this morn.
ing to attend the funeral OF Engineer
Sam Clark, killed in the wreck at Sacra-
mento. The engineers decided to run
with non-union fremen, saying they
cannot dictate to the company who shall
work with them.
The overland which left Los Angeles
on Thursday, running ON day schedule
only, passed down Oakland mole at
10:l0, With mail snd carrying tw Pull
mans.
A train Of coal cars was sent out ahead
Of the Sacramento train to inspect the
track. Superintendent Wilder says he
will not take back all the old men, but
make selections.
No freight is being received, but
large amount is standing in the yards
since the beginning of the strike.
The Southern overland, in charge OF
Conductor Massie and Engineer Nc
Graw, went out ut ii 30, guarded by
Company @, Sixth regiment, militia.
A crowd of strikers gathered at Wood
street and tried to pull the fireman off
the IL O'Clock local up town. Two hun
dred were IN the crowd and the police
on the street protected the engine. The
train was delayed five minntes. The
police telephoned up town for help. The
streets were thronged along the local
track on Seventh street.
WEST OAKLAND. July 14.-An attempt
was made at p. m. tonight to wreck
the train from Berkeley to the pier.
The train consisted OF three coaches, in
charge OF Conductor Cole. The train
had about 80 passengers on board and
half . dozen deputies. As the train
neared Eneryville the engineer saw an
obstruction on the platform and reversed
the lever, stopping the train within 10
feet Of pile OF ties.

GRADUALLY PETER|NG OUT,
The Pullman Boycott on Its
Last Legs.
Its Deathblow Delivered by the
Federation of Labor.
Debs, However, Continues to Mako a
show fFlZht-SovereiCu Sun
Lends His Aid and
Sympathy.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 14.-Chicago is rapidly
resuming its normal condition. The &C.
tion OF the conference OF the Federation
of Labor yesterday afternoon, supple
mented by the meeting OF the Building
and Trades Assembly, at which it was
resolved to resume work at once, is &C.
cepted universally as the death blow to
the Pullman boycott. OF course Debs
and Sovereign cay they are going to fight
to the bitter end. Debs goes 90
far as to say he will tie up
every railroad in the United States,
but he also said in o speech last
night to 500 strikers:
The only thing that now remains for
us to accomplish is to get you boys back
at your work. hope. boys. to see the
day como soon when every railroad m an
and laborer will be ready to lay down
work and fight for the right of any body
Of brothers who are being wronged. Not
until you are ready to do that can labor
make any demands on capital"
This statement ia accepted as an &C.
Acknowledgement of defeat. Debs called
in conference this morning the mem.
bcrs OF his executive board.
For the most part the railroads are
taking back employees as fast az they
apply. but do not discharge new men.
The strikers who are unable to secure
reinstatement are insisting upon con-
tinuing the struggle.
The federal troops are getting ready
to leave. 1t 10 believed their destina
ton is California. The state troops are
also on the move, but enough will be
held in Chicago to prevent any possible
renewed outbreak.
General Master Workman Sovereign
said this morning: "The Kuights OF
Labor organizations throughout the
land will meet tonight to consider the
question OF standing by the American
Railway union. / may telegraph them
today requesting them not to consider
the matter at all. 1t is a question
whether they cannot help the American
Railway union more by remaining at
work."
Vice. President Howard. OF the Ameri-
can Railway Union, advised the en-
ployees of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
St. Paul and Chicsgo and Northwestern
railways to tie up both SYSTEMS. At q
meeting OF railway men last night, the
audience numbering 1000 men. Howard d
was enthusiastically applauded.
President Dehs declared at 10 80 the
Chicago and Milwaukee rosd was tied
up this morning. On the other han d
the general managers OF the road say
Debs' statement is unquali6sdly false.
Debs said: "We propose to prosecute
this fight with greater vigor than ever. y
He said the fact that Pullman had con.
descended to make a statement was
very satisfactory to the American Rail
wsy Union.

CHICAGO, July 14.-"The story is false
from beginning to end. l shall ask Gem
eral Miles at once to do me the Justice
of denying it." said Mayor Hopkins to-
day, referring to report from Cincin-
natl to the effect that General Miles, be-
ore the state militia was called OUT

Just 80 minutes in which to Issue instruc.
tions to his police and to call out the

"should declare martial law" or that
should "place you under arrest" or
that II had been instructed by the
president to take any such action"
The substance of my remarks was to
apprise you of the fact that the federal
forces under nay command we're here
to protect government property, to assist
the United States marshal and thu
United States district attorney in the
execution OF their duties and in the
opening OF mail routes and the lines Of

reporter Knox said: This is an out
rage. l was here when the train was
ditched and can prove it by a number of
my friends. The railroad company is
anxioua to get back at me, and seize
the ditching OF the train as the only
means to have me thrown in jail"

ued. "but | have ths upper hand and

the trampe. One OF them, however, re-
fused to move on, and was severely
