A rough estimate places the num-

through to Vivian and points west of

will render 1t impossible to get relief
into the stricken districts and with
those who escaped with their lives,
homeless and without food, indescrib-
able suffering is inevitable.
On the Clinch Valley branch Of the
Norfolk & Western railway, between
this city and Norton, communication
Is entirely severed west of Tazwell.

point of great loss of life and property
throughout that entire section.

THE STRIKE AT SAN FRANCISCO.
fore Men Called Out Result of Fight Dep. nd,
ent on Coal supply.
nBy the Associated Press J

L
San Francisco Cal, July 31.-There
were but few changes in the local labor
situation today. Both employers and
strikers are standing firm and each side
claims confidence in winning without
drawing on it's reserves. No serious dis
turbance of the peace occurred. The
strikers are observing strictly the injunc-
ton to abstain from violence. The en-
ployers hold out no hope for a speedy set
Element of the trouble, and say there is
nothing in sight but hard battle.
The drivers for the Pacific Transfer
Company were called out today. This
will have a serious effect on the hand
ling of baggage. The sand teamsters were
also ordered out. This new development
may put a stop to building operations
throughout the city.
By the best informed students of the
situation it is declared that the outcome
of the contention is mainly dependent
upon the coal supply. Only one large
bunker was in operation this morning and
it is said there is not enough coal in the
city to meet the demand longer than two
weeks.
