Outcome of Teamsters' Lockout.

This action is a direct outcome Of
the lockout of teamsters and will have
for it's immediate effect the cessation
of all labor in and around the great
docks Of the city about San Francisco
bay. The San Francisco Teamsters'
union and the Oakland Transfers
union also ordered strike. This will
make total of over $4,000 union

1000: cook and walters. 1900: San
Francisco teamsters. 600: Oakland
teamsters. 1000: total number of men
out. 25.100.
The tieup will be complete If the
plans of the labor unions are success
full. They hope to stop the loading
and even to prevent the moving of
ships that are now almost ready for
departure. Unless the proprietors and
managers are able to secure sufficient
non.union held to load and man their
vessels. the strike will practically
mean the closing Of the port and the
suspension Of business in the whole.

the situation and states that the strike
was not ordered until. all honorable

forwarded 10 that city.
The train was in charge OF Conductor
Grove and Engineer Thurua an OF Balti.
more. The engineer is an old and ey-
perienoed employe, and it was owing to
his coolness and nerve that the train
escaped more serious mishsp. The train
makes connection with the Pennsy lyaaia
railroad Western express in this city a5
liza O'Clock, and was three hours late
in reaching Harrisburg. The pns-
eengers were cons derably shaken up,
and several women are said to have
tainted. An improvised train was mado
up at York and sent to this city for the
accommodation OF the through pas-
aengers, who went north and west at
330 q. m. on the Pacific express.
Northern Central trainmen say that
they have always considered the stretch
Of load about half mile north Of York
one of the loneliest and most dangerous
sections Of the road OF the Baltimore
division and the worst possible place
for an affair of thiJ kind to occur. The
express car Of the train ia known TO
contain considerable money, and the
railroad authorities suspect that it
was a rreconoerted Attemp. to effect a
bold-up. The non APP earance of the
robbers is accounted for by the fact
that their work was not as complete az
had been expected.
