Big Breaking Army
Enters City at Night.

accompanied by a picked company of
railroad inspectors ready to superin-
tend the disembarking of the 500 men.
AT half-past . Mutually telephoned to
Patrick Calhoun that the first division
had left the wharf and would pass the
house Of their chief on their way to
the Turk street barn.
Around the corner of Broadway a
covered wagon drove slowly into Web
ster street. A hundred PAGES behind it
came a black mob that filled the street
from curb to curb.
Here comes the first Of my new
family" remarked Patrick Calhoun as
the passing of his Industrial troops at
a. m.
AS the horde swung round the corner
under the gleam of the electric light
there was nothing to break the dark
outline of the mass save the occasional
steel white light reflected from a re-
volver barrel and the new leather belts
and long oak clubs of the two files of
guards between whom the men were
marched.
UNION PICKETS ELUDED.
Automobiles of the railroad forces
secuted the streets in front and on
either side of the advancing Eastern
ers. But the streets were deserted save
for a patrolman here and there, appar-
emily ignorant of what was taking
place on their beats. without incident
the gate of the stockade on Turk street
between Fillmore and Webster was
reached. 1t was perfect exhibition
of team work. The gates rolled back.
The files of guards halted on either
& p1nr MI y>oc
Guards fall out" Some one gave
the command 1t was the only SEN
tence spoken. The guards followed the
men inside the stockade and the gates
closed
In the open doorway of the carbarn
or Fillmore street d dozen union pick
cts were sitting on the steps of an
open car watching for developments
and chatting to pass away the night
hours. In the next block 300 men had
marched into their barracks unobserved
by these sentries.
SIX MEy GOT AWAY.
When the second division, bound for
Preside avenue and California street,
crossed Fillmore they encountered the
union pickets, now awake to the fact
that there was something doing
'Now's your chance to quit shouted
the carmen, and six of the strike
breakers made a break from the ranks
One caught whaek from a guards
club across his back, but they made
good their escape.
Inside the gates of the old sutro
steam railway depot the men discussed
the desertion of the six.
Il wouldn't like to tell you what 1
think of those guys" said one youth
who bore the unmistakable earmarks
of the Bowery in his demeanor.
Sure they'll be pinched for vagrancy
fore morning" Clipped in a short man
in straw hat who went by the name
of "Dopy"
Then they took up more general top
les, and "Dopy" inquired:
as this yere structure the Flat Iron ?''
Whereat he was reminded that he
was "a long way from the Bowery"
MEN WITH DETERMINED JAWS.
"Gawd 'elp de guy what gets caught
on there yere hill on a sloighing party"
observed a gentleman called Shorty
as he sat down on a box to rest his
WEAKNESS after climbing up from North
Beach.
Among the groups were blear-eyed
men with a gray stubble of beard a
week old, youths whose headgear was
popular several years ago, but there
were others in the crowd inside the
stockade--men with a determined set
of the jaw who did less talking.
They are a fine lot of men, said
Tnornwell Mutually with little nod of
satisfaction after 1t was all over and
the last Of the FIVE divisions had been
escorted to it's resting place.
II talked with one man down on the
wharf" he continued, who had given
up a job as assistant manager of a
street railway company to get out here
where the salaries are better
The company's claim is that the ma
iority OF the 1900 men now inside the
stockades are experienced motormen
