The San Francisco call., 1904-04-07

A serious crisis in the trouble be-
tween the United Railroads and the
Garments Union may develop to-day,
and fears are entertained that if there
is a clash strike, involving in the
near future other large labor unions of
this city. may be declared.
Yesterday the United Railroads made
move that readily suggested that it's
officials are prepared for serious trou-
bic. In the early part Of the day Presi-
dent Holland and General Manager
Chapman OF the company received a
call from President Cornelius and Sec
retary Bowling of the union, who for
mally demanded that the company inn
mediately. cease hiring new men.
The demand was promptly refused
and President Holland took advantage
Of the occasion to remark that the COM
pany intended to continue in the man
agement of its affairs as it deemed
proper and needful. This action was
followed by the president of the COM
pany handing to the representatives of
the union the reply Of the United Rail-
reads to the communication recently
sent TO the latter by the carmens' union
relative to a new agreement for the
twelve months, beginning May l. In
this letter President Holland, repre-
senting the executive committee of the
company, refused to comply with the
demands Of the union for an advance
in wages and for other conditions bear
ing on the future relations between the
company and it's men.
AS a supplement to the original de-
mands. President Holland submitted
to the union another form of agree
ment. which provides for a renewal of
the one existing, with the exceptions
Of those clauses referring to the scale
of wages and for which he substitutes
a new scale, as follows:
For the first year, 25 cents per hour:
overtime. 30 cents per hour. For the
second year, 261l cents per hour: over
time. 3l1z cents per hour. For the third
year. and thereafter. 271k cents per
hour; overtime. 80 cents per hour.
Immediately after receiving these
answers President Cornelius and Sec
retary Bowling retired and later issued
a notification TO the members of the
union that they must refuse to break
in students" on all lines of the com
pany. an order which they at once
agreed TO comply with. Just what ac-
ton General Manager Chapman will
take in this matter he refused to state
definitely last night. but intimated that
the company would find a means of
proceeding with the instruction OF new
men to-day.
Meanwhile il had been learned that

BROADWAY FIRE INIPERILS
WORKNIEN IN SUBWAY
Flames Break Out Near st. PauTs and
Smoke Blocks Egress From
the Tunnel


NEW YORK, April 6-For a half
hour traffic on lower Broadway near
st. Paul's Chapel was blocked to-day
by a fire in the new subway, the vol
umes of smoke that poured through the
few openings to the street driving pc
destrians away and making difficult
the work of the firemen. who were
called out in large force because of the
location of the fire.
The fire broke out near the. corner
of Fulton street and Broadway, where,
beside st. Paurs Church. is the prin-
cipal entrance to this section cf the
subway, workmen entering the tunnel
at that point, so that the smoke shut
off their usual means of .egress, and
for a time fifty or more laborers were
penned in and in dire peril. How
ever, one block farther down the street,
at the corner of Dey street. it had
been found necessary to open the street
and build a massive wooden platform
in place of the usual paving. After a
few minutes work an opening was
made and the laborers were helped out
to safety.

THEIR aRUSE FAILED.
Futile Attempt Of Japs to Bottle Up
Russians in Port Arthur.
SIX JAPANESE BOATS DESTROYED.
The Russian Battieship Retvizan Particu-
larly Distinguished Herself In the At
fair-The Japanese Crews Managed
to Save Themselves.

St Petersburg, Feb. 25.--Reports of
a Russian victory at Port Arthur were
current late yesterday afternoon and
early In the evening and about mid
night they seemed to have been ded-
nitely confirmed, but the stories of the
dimensions of this victory were most
conflicting and confusing In character.
The most circumstantial report was
that the Japanese had attempted to
bottle up Admiral Stark's feet In
Port Arthur by sinking two stone
laden vessels at the entrance of the
harbor, employing the tactics which
were considered, but not executed, by
the late Admiral Sampson, u s. NJ,
with the Merrimac at Santiago during
the Spanish-American war According
to this account two Japanese ships
appeared off the harbor with Japan-!
ese fleet behind them and ostensibly
in pursuit. The Russians, however,
suspected ruse and their ships
steamed out sank the stone-laden ves-
sells, engaged and defeated the enemy
and drove them off. The reports of the
loss inflicted, however, are conflicting
All the stories included the feature
of the vessels loaded with stones, but
according to some versions the Jap
anese fleet was conveying transports
with the purpose of effecting a land
ing at Pigeon bay and, after the fail
ure Of this preliminary maneuver, the
Russians played havoc with both the
Japanese warships and the transports,
sinking four of the former and two Of
the latter. One account gives the name
Of the battleship Retvizan as the ves-
sci which particularly distinguished
herself during the action by ramming
and sinking one of the Japanese bat
tleships.
The Japanese crews saved them
selves in boats and 1t is possible that
some of them were picked up by the
enemy's torpedo boats.
Rumors Of this victory were spread
far and wide over the city during the |
early part of the evening and the
crowds which had gathered in the
streets, in spite Of the severe cold, to
discuss the news were greatly excited.
Another Version Of Port Arthur Attack.
London, Feb. ga dispatch to
Reuters Telegram company says that
on February 20 the Japanese attempt
ed to send four steamers filed with
explosives among the Russian feet
In Port Arthur harbor. These fire
ships did no damage and were them
selves destroyed, two being sunk and
Two going ashore. Two Japanese
boats escorting the fire ships were de-
stroyed by Russian guns.

hat the Japanese government will
