ST. LOUIS. July 2.-The status of the
railroad strike here as the day closes is
the almost complete interruption of freight
traffic, while passenger trains. made up by
yardmasters and a number of Terminal
Association switchmen who have returned
to work, are moving practically on time.
On both sides Of the river all switchmen
have struck except the Wabash and West

western. In all, a about 1900 men have gone
out in all the yards, and perhaps 1000
more have been thrown out in unskilled

tinued to-day their preparations to fight
the strike. and declare they will soon be

Resoleed, That the Committee on Interstate

and directed TO investigate the caus and eX.
tent of the disturbed con dition existing in such
States or in any OF the States; said committee
shall have power TO visit the places where such
conditions exist, send for persons and papers,
examine witnesses under oath, employ sten-
ographer, and shall report the result to the
House, with such recommendations as 1t may
deem proper TO make.
Mr. Grain said of his resolution: "Tech-
ncally it may be said that Congress has
no power to arbitrate, but in these great
conflicts which cross State lines and in
volve the whole country Congress is the
only possible power which can act. More
over the moral effect of n Congressional
inves tigation is sufficient to check the con-
1tct and possibly stop il. There is nat
ural willingness on both sides to defer to
what body representing Congress may
suggest. The strike of 1885 cost the coun-
try thousands of dollars, yet the settle

which had the honor TO write, was ac-

NEARLY BLOWN UP.
A Green Fireman Causes the Com
pany Some Trouble.


One newly employed green hreman
nearly succeeded in blowing up an engine
In the sheds on the Oakland mole yester-
day afternoon. He had been ensageu d
short while before by Master Mechanie
Mckenzie, after he stated that wnat ne
didn't know about firing wasn't worth
knowing. He was placed IN engine TO-
which stood on the track on the norm side
of the shed. and was instructed to get up
the fires and put the injector to work
pumplng water from the tender to the
boiler.
He shoyeled coal to the queens taste.
and when he had gotten about thirty-fve
nounds OF steam up he tackled the in
iector. The appliance is so regulated that
if the first stroke does not catch the water
from the tender it Will draw the water and
steam thereafter from the boiler into the
tender The experienced fireman, know
ing this. sees that it does.
This fireman wasn't built that way. He
pulled the lever and let her go at that, and
in about five minutes all the water and
steam in the boiler had been sent into the
tender, and that reservoir was laboring
like young Vesuvius. The new man lost
us utdU hI tuS uONSl III MS
rear and became frenzied. He jumped
from the engine and made flying leaps out
of the shed in the direction of Sacra-
mento.
Master Mechanic Mckenzie saw his fly
ing form and guessing that something was
wrong with the machine, n ade bee line
for it. He took in the situation at glance
upon his arrival, the boiler plate was
nearly melted and the tender was groaning
under the pressure. He lifted the gate on
the latter, ran around TO the other side of
the shed where hose was attached to the
hydrant. burst the glass in the partition
and started stream of cold water into
the tender. The fire was drawn in the
engine and in half an hour she was as
dead as a door nail and had TO be hauled
back to the roundhouse by the switch
engine.
The fireman who knew 1t all has not
been seen since.

THE FRUIT MARKET.
Local Commission Men Look For

Fruit shipments to this city yesterday
were lot as large as last Saturday, although
the usual limit was exceeded to some extent.
Stockton contributed the usual schooner
loads of peaches which had been packed
in overland boxes for Eastern markets.
The fruit was of delicious quality, large
in size and presented most attractive ap.
pearance in front of the downtown CON-
mission-houses, where it was placeds on
sale at great sacrifice TO the producers.
Points along the Sacramento River were
also heard from, while NaDa and Petaluma
each forwarded large shipments.
The fruit sections touched by the North
Pacific Coast and San Francisco and North
Pacific roads sent in their usual supply,
but in copse quence OF the over-shipment

The pending tie-up continue.
The commission men look forward to an
Unprecedented overflow in the market this
week, and as San Francisco has no outlet,
the bay will presume bly, receive the over
supply. They derive but little profit In
selling at the present prices and prefer to
dispose of all, if necessary, rather than
play at losing game.

ters In Los Angeles, is at the Palace

raugement by which the fruit which is only
in transit, at least. could be sent forward
to a market where it could be disposed OF.
The strikers said that they would take
the matter under consideration, and it was
referred to their executive committee,
which yesterday gave its report. 1t was to
the effect that the request could not be
granted.
Mr.. Newlin states that of this fruit now

The telegraph companies are reaping a
rich harvest owing to the nOn-traDsporta-
tiOn of the mails. Mosl of the leading
wholesale and retail business houses are
p essing nature by means of the telegraph
wires. and il is no uncommon sight during
business hours for business men to be seen
patiently waiting their turn at both the
Western Union and Postal companies Off
ces. So much has the business increased
within the past four days that every avail
able operator has been pressed into service
and there is still room for more.
AS a natural sequence the telegraph
money order departments have more busi-
ness than the clerks can attend 10. There
are piles of money orders waiting trans
mission during business hours, and the
clerks are kept hard at work all day taking
in money and writing orders. The lele-
graph is the only way left for business
men to meet their obligations to houses in
the East, and retailers in the interior of
the State are adopting the same means to
pay their bills 10 houses here. This ne
cessitates additional help for paying out
orders and practically the telegraph offices
are doing a regular banking business.
But to commercial men it is an expensive
way of conducting business.

The Alameda County Federation of

At meeting of the executive committee
OF the Alameda County Federation Of
Trades, held at the Labor Bureau yester-

manifesto be issued:
To all ofiliatfd trades unaons. greeting: You
are hereby instructed 10 take every precaution
against the engagement OF any OF your men,
bers by the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
paDy pending the present trouble with the A.
r.. U. Remember that an injury 10 one is the
concern of all. If you aid the company In de-
featiDg the A. Il. U. you are but riyeting the
chain The tighter on yourselves. There Is a geu
eraI design TO reduce wages 1913 per cent,
and II this fight be lost by your action you are
virtually assuming the right to sell your own
and others children into bondage.
The members of the Brotherhood OF Loco
motive Engineers are earnestly urged TO aban-
don their present unfair attitude toward their
feIlow-workers. You know the urgent need OF
united action at this lime. You know that II
you aid in breaking the back Of This fight your
turn will surely come; that 1t is only question
of time when your wages VIII be reduced. You
know that your excuse for working IS based on
trivial technlcalily. Your definition OF a
scab is not correct. You know that 1t has
always been held that one who takes the rlace
of a striking or locked-out man Is a scab, and
that one who works wi b him is an unfair man
Surely you 40 not wish TO have such term
applied 10 members Of your organization. If
not, then stand up like free men and see 20 1t
that your fellows get theif rights knowing that
1t is your own rights as well that are at stake.
Robert McKillican, Sheriff OF Alameda
County, is held to be censurable for undue zeal
in furnishing deputies at the behest OF the
Southern Pacific Company when there Is no
real need for them, when indeed there is posi-
tive danger In sending the rif-raff of the town,
armed with clubs and pistols where they at
once become menace to the otherwise orderly
and peaceable men who refuse to work for very
proper reasons.
The Chief OF Police. Louis Schaffer is hereby
advised OF the violation Of a city ordinance by
the Southern Pacific Company In that trains
run upon Seventh street without f1agmen being
stationed at the crossings.
There are hut two classes In this country the
producers ana parasi es, and as the parasites
are now arrayed in solid front against the pro.
ducers, the time is ripe for all woikiugmen 10
assemble In one invulnerable body and demand
their rights, remembering that the way to de-
mand light is to take ii.
Every man and woman who works for living,
regardless OF membership In any organization,
should hold themselves in readiness 10 do what.
ever they rightfully and legally can DO In the
present struggle 10 The end that their liberties
aud rights may be maintained.
