The Strike at San Francisco.

San Francisco, May 81 Sixty five
hundred union machinists and other
iron trade workers affiliated with them
quit work in this city yesterday. 1t
is expected that about 1000 more
men will join the strike as soon as
they are ordered to do so by their re-
spective national directors. Among
the latter are the iron molders and
core makers. The other crafts affect
ed include almost every branch of the
iron shipbuilding and boiler making
trades.
OF the 1000 men employed at the
Union from Works, 300 went out.
At the Risden Iron Works, $50 men
started to work yesterday morning
and only so of them remain there.
On the pay roll of the Fulton Iron
Works there are about 600 names and
500 of them voluntarily quit work to-
day. From these three establish
ments alone 4, 800 men have walked
out. In the local industry there are
SO shops and of these there are only
10 that employ more than 100 men.
Eight of the smaller concerns acceded
to the demands of their men prior to
yesterday morning. All the others
refused to sign the agreement submit
ted by their union employees.
