The freight handlers of the Southern
Pacific railroad sheds who went out on
strike three weeks ago tonight de-
cided last evening to remain out.
The meeting was held in Manzanita
Hall, and was an exciting one from
opening to adjournment. The advocates
for no strike made a strong plea to
have the move called Off, and those in
favor of holding out worked hard for
votes among their weaker members. At
the secret ballot the result stood 103 to
81 in favor of the strike. The union
will canvass the labor localities and
societies to obtain work and assistance
for its idle members and continue its
efforts to bring the company to terms
