Rapidly and Employees All
Appear to- Be Satisfied

Non-union freight handlers to the
number of 400 are getting three good
meals day and also getting out great
quantities of goods from the sheds OF
the Southern Pacific Company. Spe-
cial policemen are on duty in squads
of three and four, while sixty regular
policemen are also there to preserve
order and see that the property is fully
protected.
No arrests have been necessary on
account of the strikers. though there
was a slight demonstration at Fifth
and Townsend streets last night
caused by one of the special officers
getting frightened at the appearance OF
three men and calling for help. In his
excitement he overlooked one of the
regular officers, who was standing
within a few yards of him talking to
newspaper man. There was no ap-
parent cause for the mans fear, yet
he ran up the steps that cross the
tracks and hastily summoned five Of
officers and the sergeant, who were
above. The few strikers who were on
the opposite corner saw the officers
coming down the stairs in a hurry and
wondered where the trouble was. know

UNION PICKETS ON GUARD.
Union pickets patrol the outside of
the sheds and improve every chance
they get to endeavor to induce the men
at work to quit. Thus far they have
not succeeded in getting more than ten
men out of the 400 to join them. The
men who are at work appear to be sat
isfied with the treatment they are re-
ceiving from the company, but the
strikers believe many of them will quit
tomorrow night.
Trains are going out with their Gus
tomary loads and an inspection of the
sheds shows little signs of congestion.
Foreman Pat Dorm says the men are
doing good work, and unless they are
interfered with there will be no chance
of the unions being recognized.
The checking clerks have decided to
remain at work, and while they do

but they say they will continue their
plans of endeavoring to persuade the
men to quit.
PROMISE NO VIOLENCE.
Some of the strikers are getting rest
less, but they say they will avoid trou-
BILE and show the company they can
win without any attempts at violence.
It was rumored last night that one of
the non-union men, who does not live
at the sheds, was assaulted on his way
home.
This was incorrect. An intoxicated
man fell from the sidewalk at Fourth
and Folsom streets, cutting his scalp
so badly that when he wandered down
to the freight yards in a drunken con-
dition he was sent to the hospital. He
was not employed at the sheds nor con-
nected with the strikers.
