NEWSBOYS' STRIKE.
San Francisco Afternoon Papers Not

The newsboys of San Francisco are
on strike. They have declared war
against the Post, Bulletin and Report,
all evening papers of that city, and it
is impossible to get copy of these
publications on the streets. Only the
Oakland afternoon dailies are handled
and the sales of these papers during
the past fortnight have been exceed
ingly large. When the Mariposa letI

week ago en- route for Honolulu near
ly every passenger was the possessor
of an afternoon paper, but there was
not single copy of a San Francisco
paper on board. In a circular issued
by the boys it is stated that the three
San Francisco dailies have combined
together to beat them out of their
small profits by refusing to check the
papers. They have respectfully asked
the public not to patronize these pa
pers until they restore to the news
boys their rights. One paragraph Of
the appeal reads: "These papers are
rich. A few nickels does not matter
to them, to us it means bread and but
ter. Our mite helps to support moth
ers and little ones at home"
