Big Strike at San Francisco Called
by Waterfront Federation.

by Waterfront Federation.
San Francisco, July 31-The labor
trouble in this city reached a crisis
Tuesday, and as a result maritime
traffic and labor alongshire are al
most at standstill, and industries
almost totally paralyzed. The order
for a general walkout of the City
Front Federation was made effective
Tuesday morning. The City Front
Federation comprises Il unions and
organizations, with a full member
ship of about $1,000. Three thousand
of these men are employed at sea
or in other cities, and the strike or
der does not apply to them until
they return to San Francisco. Twelve
thousand men obeyed the order Tues
day. The City Front Federation is
composed of the following organiza-
tions: Sailors Union of the Pacific,
four local unions of longshoremen.
marine firemen, Brotherhood of
Transfers, ship and steamboat join
ers, porters, packers, warehousemen,
ship clerks, pile drivers and bridge
builders, hosting engineers, steam
and hot water filters and coal team
sters.
shipping Companies Crippled.
When the order to walk out went
into effect all the big shipping COM
panies, with one exception, were left
without a union man. By a special
agreement entered into some time
ago between the Pacific Coast Steam
ship company and the Firemen's
union fremen remained on the YES
sells of that company. Four coasting
steamers, q ship and a schooner were
the only vessels that went to sea. 1t
is claimed by the officers of all the
organizations involved, it is said, that
the strike is not purely an express
sion of sympathy with the union Of
teamsters or any other body of work
ers who are in dispute with their en-
ployers, but it is a taking up of the
gantlet thrown down by the Employ
ers' association. In other words, the
City Front Federation is determined
TO defend the principle of unionism
which the associated employers have
announced their intention to crush.
Eject Of the Strike.
1t is reported authoritativeIy that
several of the larger wholesale houses
will close down until the strike is set
tied. Walter Golf, president of the
| Labor council, said tuesday: This
is the greatest strike in the history
of the state. Its effects will be far
reaching and the city and state will
suffer untold damages, but the re-
sponsibility for it is all with the en-
ployers. They have discharged men
right and left for adhering to union
principles, and in taking up the battle
the affiliated trades are merely fight
ing for their rights"
Two nonunion Transfers firel into
body of strikers Tuesday and
wounded one man., not seriously.
The shooters were arrested. They
claim they fired in self-defense. Most
of the trouble that has occurred so
far has been caused by hoodlum non
strikers.

FAR WESTERN JUSTICE.
The CnttIsIaen's Law on the Luxurf-
ant Pastures.
(From Harper's weekly.)


(From Harper's Weekly
The cattlemen were no respecters of
person or property. They held. with an
eminent Western politician, that the
rights of the user are paramount to the
rights of the owner" and laid out their
pastures accordingly. They purchased a
quarter-section on creek or river and
started a barbed wire fence along its
side. Reaching the corner. they built on
and on until thousands of acres were en-
closed, finally turning back to the be-
ginning. l drove for nearly a hundred
miles in Southwest Kansas, and was not
once outside of a cattle pasture. The
roads were fenced across, gates being
placed as one field gave way to an
other The appearance of a road With
fence on both sides of it was novelty.
Inside these huge pastures were scores
of claims mortgaged to Eastern parties
through the mortgage companies now de-
parted. The mortgages foreclosed their
liens and secured title. 1t Is related that
one of these owners came out West to
look after his land. He found it inside
pasture of eight thousand acres, the cat
tlenian using 1t neither owning nor leas-
ing more than one-fifth of the prairie he
occupied-about the usual ratio Of owned
to pastured portion of these ranches.
See here" he objected, you have my
land in your pasture"
Yes; is it hurting it any?" replied the
cattleman.
We'll, / want it out of there"
"All right; take it out Or if you don't
want the cattle feeding on it go and put
up a fence and keep them off,
But / will have you sued and get dam
ages"
Good; do it. Everybody around here
is a cattle man. and cattlemen will be the
jury. They will probably fine you for
making me trouble"
The investor went back East to think It
over.

1t used to be considered that only
urinary and bladder troubles were to be
traced to the kidneys, but now modern
science proves that nearly all diseases
have their beginning in the disorder of
these most important organs.
The kidneys filter and purify the blood
that Is their work
Therefore when your kidneys are weak
or out of order you can understand how
quickly your entire body is affected, and
how every organ seems to fail to do its
duty.
If you are sick or feel badly" begin
taking the famous new discovery, Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon
as your kidneys are well they will help
all the other organs to health. A trial
will convince anyone.

than any other disease. and If permitted

in it, your kidneys are in need of imme-
