HAVOC WITH THE FRUIT.
Growers and Commission Men Pray.
ing for the End.


San Francisco, June 30.-It is the eff
feet of the strike upon the fruit-rasing
industry of north California that is
causing the greatest uneasiness in bust
ness circles here. While the American
Railway union and the Southern Pacific
company are engaging in their des-
perate struggle for supremacy, thous-
ands of fruit-gowers and scores of COM
mission men and Gamers stand help
lessly by and hope for a speedy settle
ment of the trouble.
Every hour that the struggle is pro-
longed places the pcrishable product of
a vast section of country in greater
jeopardy. If the strike shall be pro-
longed many days, fruit products to
the value of hundreds OF thousands Of
dollars will rot in the hands of growers
and commission men.
Under a hot sun peaches, apriccts,
cherries, berries and many other vare-
ties are ripening rapidly The crop
must be moved at once, or become a
total loss. Three days of blockade has
already caused heavy losses. Much
fruit has become too ripe for shipment,
and must be thrown away. Even the
cannerieS cannot be reached by many
growers. 1t is estimated that zoe car
loads of fruit are perishing between
California points and the Missouri river,
but this loss Will be very small as COM
pared with the loss in the orchards.
The San Francisco fruit market was
glutted today and there was a general
tumble in prices. All the steamers
from Sacramento river points and
around the bay came in loaded. Every
grower who could reach tide water
rushed his fruit to the city, fearful lest
it should be his last and only market.
Much of the fruit had been under hot
sun on river beds and had become very
soft. The city market, too, is limited.
Most of the big canneries are at in
terror points, dependent altogether upon
the railroads.

Barely Escaped VITA His Life.

Chicago. June 3O.-General Superin-
tendent Lore, of the Panhandle road,
received a dispatch while in attendance
at the meeting of the General Nam
ayers association, stating that strikers
were tearing up the tracks at One
Hundred and Thirtieth street He at
once took a special engine to the scene
of the riot. Mr.. Lore insists that the
company is not given adequate police
protection at that place.
| The General Managers association
issued a call to United States Marshal
Arnold for more deputies. At their
meeting this afternoon, the general
managers considered the question of
arresting Debs and prosecuting him
under the United States laws relating
to the detention of the mails 1t was
finally decided not to arrest him, thus
lforestalling any claim to martyrdom.
The Ann street trouble on the Pan
handle was precipitated by brake
man drawing a revolver when the
strikers undertook to interfere with
him. The fellow was badly handled
before he was rescued by the police.
General Superintendent Lore, on his ar
rival at One Hundred and Thirtieth
street, telegraphed that the mob drove
the station agent to Riverside from
his Office just as he had summoned
Lore by telegraph, and then began a
general demolition of the tracks. The
station agent barely escaped with his
life

G. B. Clark, a brotherhood engineer

They Refuse to Handle Any Cars
! Whatever.
st. Louis, June 3O-As a result of the
conference held last night, on orders
from headquarters the switchmen on
| both sides Of the river refused, today,
| to handle any cars whatever and
freight movement Immediately stopped.
Passenger traffic, however, moved as
usual, all trains leaving on time-not
from any assistance of the striking
American Railway union men, however,
but because the Terminal Railway as
ISOLATION yard masters and assistants,
who have never been allowed to join
any labor union. formed a sufficient
force to make up the passenger trains.
| The strikers a his point now number
in the neighborhood of 1900 men. This
includes the switchmen of the Terminal
association, 200 in number, and also
those in all the individual railroad
yards
AS the strike became general, the
idle men began to gather in knots in
| the various yards and discuss the situa-
ton. American Railway Dictator c..
b. Kern passed among them and in
doing so came in contact with General
/ Manager Ramsey, OF the Terminal as
ISOLATION. A few words passed between
them, ending in Kern shaking his fist
in Ramsey's face, whereupon he was
arrested upon Ramsey's complaint on
the charge of disturbing the peace. No
other incidents of this character
marked the morning. Elsewhere all
was quiet-too quiet TO suit the railroad
The making of the strike general here
has not only stopped freight traffic up
on the roads which use Pullmans, but
also upon those which use the Wag-
ners. This is supposed to be the result
of acts by the latter roads at other
points than st. Louis which the Ameri-
can Railway union deems hostile to its
interests.
The strike of the switchmen on the
Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain
road was emphasized today by the
turning in of three regular road engines
by their crews with a refusal to handle
Pullman cars. According to the policy
of the Gould line managers, these men
were discharged. The American Rail-
way union managers here Immediately
placed the facts in the possession of
President Debs at Chicago.
A report that the Mobile & Ohio has
compromised with the strikers by de
Gliding to no longer haul Pullman cars
cannot be confirmed. the officials here
say such conditions, if reached, would
be announced from Mobile, the general
headquarters of the road.

Ditched n Train.

Chicago. June 9O.-The Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific train, No. 10, out
bound, after picking its way success
fully over the city tracks this evening,
was ditched by striker at Blue Is
land about $50 p. m. Trouble has
been feared at Blue Island all the af-
ternoon. The train was made up with
d Pullman car next to the engine.
AS the engine approached the sta
ton at Blue Island, James Marvin. a
striking switchman, rushed forward
and threw the switch. There was no
time to stop the train and the engine
ana Pullman were thrown off the
track. Deputy Sheriff Nickerson at
oi4ce placed Marvin under arrest. No
one was injured.

A Move in HeIenn.

Helena, Mont, June 3O-The first
move in the federal court in connection
with the Northern Pacific tie-up was
made today, when the attorneys of the
road applied to the federal court for an
order directing the marshal to protect
the property of the company in the
state, and to employ a sufficient num-
Der Of deputies to carry out the order.
It was granted.
The application for the order recited
that the employees had quit the ser
vice Of the company and refused to
move trains; that Notwithstanding they
had left the company they still had
possession of large amount of pro-
perty belonging to the railroad.
The application for the order is be-
Iieved to be preparatory to a move on
the part of the road to start trains in
this state

pehs Nay Go to the Devil.

Omaha, June 3O.-American Railway
Union men still insist that they will
not strike at present, because they
think the provocation too trivial.
President Debs threatened to cancel
their charter, and they told him to do
80. If Debs attempts to enforce a strike
on the Union Pacific lines in Nebraska
or in the United States district under
control of Judge Dundy he is liable
to run against a snag which will land
him and all the railway men who strike
in Jail, as the judge emphatically de-
clared, this morning, that even the re-
fusal of the employees of this road to
handle Pullmans would bring them in
contempt of court, and they would be
dealt with accordingly.
Judge Dundy said: 81 have made up
my mind to the effect that in case
the men go on a strike on the Union
Pacific territory in my jurisdiction, l
VIII deal with them promptly and eff
fectively if they attempt to interfere
with any of the trains of cars

Chicago, June 30-Mr. Caldwell. of
the Western Passenger association, in
an interview is quoted as advising the
colored people not to be hasty in taking
the place of strikers.
Mr.. e. L. Wilson, publisher of the
Chicago Bugle and Afro-American Pa
triot, has this to say concerning the
attitude the, colored people should take
in the fight:
Il can see no good reason why the
colored people should be concerned in
this struggle at all. Both the Knights
Of Labor and the American Railway
union are outspoken in their antag-
onism to our race. While Mr.. Powderly
was at the head of the Knights of La
Dor that order was friendly TO the col
ored race, but the friendship virtually
cost him his position. Then came Mr..
Sovereign, who openly advocated that
the colored people be deported to At
RIGA. Last week the American Rail-
way union snubbed us by refusing to
admit colored men as members. Now.

fair-minded man why we should be in
