With negative vote that is almost
beyond the necessity of mention, the
men who are running the street cars
on the United Railroads of San Fran
cisco determined yesterday that the
terms offered them by the company
were unacceptable The result OF the
secre: ballet was 2o31 against accept
ance and 141 in favor.
The result was easily forecasted in
the afternoon from the remarks of the
voters as they filed into line Still even
the most hopeful OF the radicals did not
look for such an overwhelming major
ity in favor of a rejection of the offers
of their employers.
This vote does not necessarily mean
that strike of the street car employees
is inevitable. International President
Mahon said. after the result had been
announced, that he and other repre-
sentatiyes of the union would go into
conference with the officers of the
United Railroads and try to obtain
some concession on TIE disputed points.
He declared IL sVas r1s.4the tnteiitien
of The union to force a strike and that
every effort would be made by himself
and the local representatives of the
organization to obtain a peaceable
settlement of the existing difficulties.
When asked if the operators of cars
were still unsatisfied on April 80, the
date when the annual agreement with
the company is ended. what the end
of the trouble would be, he said:
They viii quit work, 1 suppose"
General Manager Chapman, who is
the accredited spokesman of the United
Railroads, listened calmly when the re
suit of the vote of the union was an
nounced to him. When asked whether
or not any further negotiations would
be entertained from representatives of
the union he said:
We have taken the public into our
confidence in many printed state
ments and generally it knows what
our position is on this last trouble /
am not in position to discuss the
future action of the company. but as
1 have always said. we are willing to
entertain in all situations suggestions
from our employees and their accred-
tied representatives"

MEN GUARD BALLOT.

In the morning hours number of
benches sufficiently protected the bal
lot box from interference. Two men
sat constantly before the cylinder in
which the ballots were deposited and
carefully scrutinized the credentials of
the men who offered their votes. Be
fore them they had lists of the various
operators ON the different car lines of
the city and the election clerks inva-
riably checked these off. Some came
to vote who had not paid their April
dues and their ballots were promptly
rejected. Each man put his ballot in
the box with hts own hands. When he
had voted his union card of the cur
rent month was stamped Voted" and
this precluded any chance of two votes
for one member.
Generally speaking, there was no
rush of the voters. In the early after
noon many of the men found it con-
venient to visit headquarters and de-
pOsit their ballots

CRowDING AVOIDED.

When it became apparent that crowd
ing was threatened, a rope was
stretched from the swinging doors of
the hall to the stage, and along this
the voters filed singly until they
reached the booths. Ten of these had
been erected for the occasion, differing
in no way from the usual provisions of
the Australian ballot system. Most of
the men appeared in uniform, and
before o'clock it became apparent
that a particularly heavy vote had
been polled. At that hour, according
to the talliers, more than 2100 out of
1850 employees had cast their ballots.
During the night most of the voters
came in citizens clothes. Almost with
out exception they were intelligent
looking men who dressed we'll and
would be presentable in any walk of

Issued a mandamus compelling the

HIsh Pressure DAYS.

Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to hold
their own nowadays. Never were the
demands of business, the wants of the
family, the requirements of society,
more numerous. The first effect of the
praiseworthy effort to keep up with all
these things is commonly seen in a
weakened or debilitated condition of the
nervous system, which results in dys-
pepsia defective nutrition of both body
and brain, and in extreme cases in com
plete nervous prostration. It is clearly
seen that what is needed is what will
sustain the system. give vigor and tone
to the nerves, and keep the digestive
and assimilative functions healthy and
active. From personal knowledge, we
can recommend Hoods Sarsaparilla for
this purpose. 1t acts on ali the vital
organs, builds up the whole system, and
fits men and women for these high pres
sure days.

Question Whether Mocarry Can Be

Grand Rapids, Mich. April 6.-The
news from Lansing stating that the
conviction of Thomas F. McGarry for
bribery in connection with the water
deal has been affirmed by the supreme
court was received with great satisfao
ton by Prosecuting Attorney Ward,
especially as 1t was the unanimous
finding of the bench.
McGarry went to Florida for IFS
health shortly after being convicted
on his trial in the Grand Rapids s'l-
perior court. and his relations with
the governor of Florida has caused
considerable speculation here as to dis
being brought back for sentence. It
is claimed that he has so entrenched
himself in the favor of the chief ex.
ecutive that 1t would be useless to
send extradition papers for his return
to Michigan.
