MANY LABORERS
THREATEN STRIKE
MAY TIE UP STREET RAILWAY
AT SAN FRANCISCO
At Special Meeting Held Sunday
Afternoon Decision Is Reached
to Call Cut Workmen
Today
~ Associated Press.

~ Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 29.-To add
to the complication of the labor situa-
ton in San Francisco and following
close upon the heels of the strike of
the linemen and electricians on the
United Railroads, all the laborers, paw
ers and other workmen engaged in con-
struction work on the street railway
system will be called out tomorrow
morning.
A general strike of all construction
laborers and workmen on the United
Railroads was decided upon at spe-
cial meeting of the street railroad con-
struction workers union this afternoon
and committees named to call out the
men tomorrow morning.
The union numbers about 1000 mem-
bers, but the order, it is said, will af-
feet about 1900 men who are engaged
in rehabilitating the street railways
and changing the cable roads into cleo
trio systems.
How Trouble Started
It is alleged by the union that the
United Railroads started the trouble
by discharging workmen because OF
their affiliation with and activity in the
union, and that, the strike has been
called to enforce the reinstatement of
the men and an increase of wages from
s1.50 and 81 to $3.50 day for laborers,
and from $3.50 to $3.50 for PAYERS, and
the demand of an S-hour day instead of
ten.
At todays meeting of the union the
city was divided into districts and
committees designated to work among
the men of the different nationalities.
The majority of the members are
foreigners and strangers in the city,
having been brought here by the United
Railroads.
