San Francisco, July 15.-All trains are
moving approximately on schedule
time.
The west-bound overland which has
been tied up at Ogden, arrived at Sac
ramento about noon, with a, number of
passengers.
An east-bound overland, which left
Sacramento yesterday, reached Reno
this evening without interference.
A pilot train, mail train, and two
passenger trains, all guarded by United
States troops, under the command of
Colonel Poland, arrived at Reno from
the east this morning and upon the ar
rival of the train from Sacramento, all
moved towards their respective desti-
nations. The pilot train was equipped
with all necessary apparatus for track
repairs.
All local trains in this state are run
ming under military escort.
Flat cars are sent in advance of the
engines to preclude the possibility of
trains being ditched. 1t is the intention
of the railroad company to start a
fruit train for the east tomorrow.
It will be made up of a number of
refrigerator cars and will be heavily
guarded.

INJUSTICE SOMEWHERE.
Sage Conclusion of the Rev. Thomas
Dixon.

New York, July 15.-Rev. Thomas
Dixon, jr., who finds a text for each
Sundays sermon in the events of the
preceding week, preached in associa-
ton hall today on hte strike.
This great uprising of the laboring
classes, which has cost the country
S1,000,000, and was likely to cost it
100000 more, had its origin in a great
injustice perpetrated by somebody. 1t
was impossible to imagine the laboring
classes, after enduring the miseries
consequent on the depression of the
past year, leaving their workshops un-
less there was injustice somewhere.
Three lessons, however, had been
learned by the strike:
Flrst-That the railroad managers
were utterly incapable to handle the
railroads the moment a strike was pre-
cipitated.
Secondhand mob violence and disor-
der would under no circumstances be
tolerated by the American people
Third-That the national government
alone has the power to break such a
strike and raise the railroad blockade.
from which follows the logical conclu-
sion the national government should
own the railroads of the country.
The railroads, he said, were built
strictly for the accommodation of the
public, and neither labor leaders nor
railroad managers should have the
power nor be permitted to interfere
with the public rights If the national
government owned the railroads if
would be high treason for any one to
dare do such a thing.
