ONE CENT
PENNSY BUYS LAND.
Will Establish Large Passenger Car
Yards Near West Yard.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has purchased about So acres of land of
the estate of the late Mrs. Mary Lati-
mer, situated ON the south side of the
main line of the road to the south OF the
west yard. The price paid is said to be
about $4,000.
The engineers of the surveying depart.
ment under direction of Assistant Engi-
neer Wilson spent several days in laying
out the newly acquired property. Much
difficulty was experienced in the survey
as the land is principally marlsh ground.
and it was necessary for the engineers
to use ties and improvised platforms III
order to do the work. 1t is said the
property was purchased for the purpose
of establishing passenger car yards, to
he used in connection with the elevated
road to be built through this city by
the company next year.
There is no place at present for storing
coaches beyond the few tracks in and
about the F., w. ~ Il. railroad station
1t French street. When the overhead
'Oad is built these tracks will be practi-
ally useless and of no avail to the conf
pany.
According to plans now pending the
elevated road will extend from Beggs'
'rickyard to the north of the city, nearly
10 the west yard in the south. BY i'm
'tituting passenger car yards on the
property purchased, the company will be
ible to side-track it's coaches at the
terminal of the road. Not only will the
Aew property be used as a passenger car
,ard, but it will serve, in great meas
nre. to reyieve the press of freight cars
n the west yard. AT present the fruit
traffic is so great that it is almost i'm
nossible to keep the tracks clear, but
~ the addition of passenger yards the
tracks can he used for freight cars as
well in case of emergency.
As the land is nearly all marsh, it will
require an immense amount of filling in
'efore tracks can be laid, but as the
ompany daily is taking out tons of
Gravel from the embankment near Farm
hurst, the material easily can be supplied.

GREAT DOCK STRIKE.
All Shipping in San Francisco Bay
May be Tied Up.

San Francisco, July 30.-The labor
troubles in this city reached their cul-
mination when the City Front fedora
ton ordered general strike on the
docks of San Francisco, Oakland, Mis-
sion Rock and Port Costa to go into eff
feet at once.
The resolution to strike, which re-
,eiyed the unanimous Endorsement of
every delegation to the federation, was
short, but its effect will be to cause a
temporary paralysis of the shipping
business of San Francisco such as has
not been known before. 1t reads as
follows:
"The full membership of the City
Front federation refuses to work at
the docks of San Francisco, Oakland,
Port Costa and Mission Rock. The
steamers Bonita and Walla Walla,
with mail and passengers now in the
stream, will be allowed to go to sea-"
The meeting of the federation was
, long one, and there was much heated
argument, but when the resolution
came to vote every delegate present
voted in favor of the strike.
This action, which is direct outcome
of the lockout of the teamsters, will
have for it's immediate effect the cessa
tion of all labor in and around tht
great docks of the city about San
Francisco bay. The Sand Teamsters
union and the Oakland Teamsters' un
ion also ordered strike. This viii
make total of over $4,000 union work
men who have stopped their labor since
the middle of May last, divided as fol
lows:
City Front federation, comprising L
organizations, $4,000 men; machinist
and iron workers, 1000; cooks an,
walters, 1,500; teamsters, 1900.
Complete Tie Up Is Planned.
The tie up will be complete il tn
plans of the labor unions are success

even to prevent the moving of ship
