strikers at West Oakland became ag-
gressive, and tonight not wheel is
turning on the Southern Pacific. Not
even ferry boats are running between
this city and Oakland.
This morning aeveral hundred strikers
descended upon the railroad yards and
roundhouse at West Oakland, paying no
attention to the protests of the 100 or
more deputy sheriffs on guard. The
men at work in thu shops were forced
to quit, the tracks leading from the
mole were ef'ectuslly blocksded, and
the railroad company for the time being

The troops were not landed at the
pier, but were disembarked by the
steamer Alameda at the foot of Broad
way, marching to the armory of Com
pany A. corner of Franklin and Twelfth
strsste, awaiting orders. The object Of
this movement ia to concentrate force
at a central point contiguous to the rail
road yards. Hearing Of this, a crowd
OF 800 strikers went to the yards and
killed all the engines, thus completing
the work of the day.
The strikers, in explsining their &C.
ton in tying up the broad and narrow
gauge systems say they are tired OF
making the ferry system school for
scape. adding that the railroad officials
hoped to recruit the regular trains from
the ferry service.
President Roberts OF the local A. R.
U. says that the strikers assert that all
the labor uniong of Oakland will be
called out. He believes that a COM
promise will be proposed by the railroad
people soon. When asked what the

and money gave out, one of the strikers
replied that SO long 40 there were pro-
visions in the stores of the city the men
did not propose to starve.

Arrested. .s,.
BLUE ISLAND, ILL.,, July 4.-John De-
senfranz, the most turbulent and riotous
of the strikers leaders, was arrested
today by Deputy United States Marshal
Gordon, charged with threats and trying
to Greats riot. He has been very violent
and has caused much trouble, and his
arreet is considered important. John
Buckley, who claims to be miner from
Pennsylvania and to have just arrived
in town, but who looks like striking
railroad man, was arrested by Deputy
Marshal Gordon, on the charge of con-
tempt of court in overturning cars.
Several arrests were expected during
the day. The former leaders are making
themselves conspicuous by their absence
today.
-Four companies of the Fifteenth u. S.
A. regiment. from Fort Sheridan, ar
rived at $3.50 over the main line and
went into camp three-fourths OF mile
from the depot. The fireman refused
to assist in backing the train into the
switch when the soldiers disem barked.
He was put under arrest by Marshal
Arnold. Wrecking crews were brought
in guarded.
L. Carroll Christ, . brickmaker, and
Ed Helms, a green horsse man. were
arrested by Marshal AIaold and Deputy
Marshal Logan for mixing threats
against deputy marshsaJ. The arrests
caused a gathering Of what would have
been called an ugly mob but for the
United States soldiers.
Engine No. $40. Master Mechanic Fitz-
gerald holding the throttle. and one
freight car, carrying the deputies and
corporal guard, left Blue Island at 10 80
for Morgan Park to take car off the

Tucson, Ariz.. July AT IL o'clock
tonight the lodge OF the A. R. U. here,
which had been in session for several
hours, issued the following bulletin:
Tucson lodge American Railway
union has decided on strike. Its mem
hsrs have requested the assistance of
the brothsrhoods of fremen. conduct
ore. locomotive engineers and railway
trainmen and have isaued these orders
for the support of the A. r. u"
The local order has been holding back
from taking this action owing to the
fact that Tucson lodge was organized
only q few weeks ago and the charter
has net yet arrived, About 10 O'Clock a
dispatch was received from Dsbs, stat
ing that the charter was on the way !;

the Ds Soto, No., lodge of the A. R. u.
had thrown up its charter.
AT the strikers headquarters the
truth of both of these statements is
denied.
Both the Wabash and Chicago and
Alton are tied up, not train on either
coming in or going out. The Big Four's
position Is becoming moro critical. The
Iron Mountain men v no went back to
work yesterday say they will refuse to
do any switching for trains hauling
Pullman cars. There is a growing dis.
position among eng neers and firemen to
haul trains not switched or manned by
the regular force.
Up to this time there have been no
acts of violence. New men are being
hired by the railway managers. They
represent every branch OF the railrosd
service and many of the roads claim
they are competent and thoroughly ex.
perienced. Tomorrow several roads will
endeavor to fill the places of the strikers
with these men, end it ie their intention
10 resume sending out their freight
trains. Ii they meet with distractions
they will apply to the United States
courts for an injunction, and If the re-
ssrainlng orders from the courts fail to
prevent interference. they will call on
the president for federal troops,
Dispatches were received at Wabash
headquarters today that the telegraph
ers had joined the strikers. This move
was a surprise to the officers.
The return yesterday of the Iron
Mountain ysrdmen accomplished moth
ing, as that road is receiving no freight.
The strike has diverted business to
the steamboats, and the river men ex-
pect that good deal of freight will be
taken out by way OF the river ii the
trouble lasts any length OF time. More
local freight is being handled by the
boats than for several years. The scare
ity OF coal, is however, bsing felt as the
supply along the river has almost been
exhausted.
The st. Louis breweries will lose con-
siderable in consequence of the strike.
Unless the blockade is broken within
short time, the worat possible feature
of q strike like this will make itself APP
parent in actual suffering by the people
who are already seriously affected. Beef
killing and importing establishments
are shutting down, and butter, cheese,
eggs and lemons are also becoming
scarce. Vegetables. on the contrary,
are increasing in supply, as this is a dis.
tributing point for hundreds of gardens.

have wholesome respect. Trains are

simmered down when confronted by
pieces OF ordnance and glittering bay
