Hazen, New, Sept. 3.-Serious trou-
BILE occurred here this afternoon at the
junction OF the Southern Pac1tlc ana
Goldneid & Tonopah railroads when
the second section OF a train carrying
strikebreakers to San Francisco ar
rived. A number of union miners met
the train and hooted the strikebreak-
ers. Finally stone was hurled
through a car window and it was an
sWered by a shot. A number OF the
men on the train jumped off. The
conductor gave the go ahead signal,
but the strikebreakers stopped the
train and delayed it 80 minutes. A
hundred or more dismounted and bran
dishing revolvers hurled defiance at
the union men. Fifty or more dele
gates to the republican state conven-
ton at Tonopah and a crowd on their
way to the Goldfield prize fight took to
to the sage brush.
When the train was finally started
crowd with revolvers stood on the
rear platform. AS they passed several
them. Fully SO shots were fired from
the train. One hat was struck, but no
one was hurt. "A number OF shots
struck the depot and several struck
freight car on a sidetrack. Not shot
was fired by the miners, who were the
only ones left about the depot except
ing employees when the strikebreakers
dismounted and advanced on the
crowd.
More trouble is feared when the
next section arrives.
There was no change today in the
street railway strike in San Francisco
| No attempt was made by the UnlteC
Railroads to operate cars. Prospects
for an early settlement of the strike
are growing less, as neither side to the
controversy seems inclined to make
any further concessions. Six hundred
men were brought into the city by thu
United Railroads Sunday morning be
tween 2 and o'clock. The men haV'
been held at nearby points for ia
vorable opportunity to bring them Il
without the knowledge of the carmen
pickets. These men are, it is asserted
J not motor men, but construction men
President Calhoun of the United Raj
roads says that he was patiently await
ing the arrival of enough motormeI
He expected to be able to start tn
cars some time this week.
Referring to a city ordinance tina
, motormen must have one weeks trail
!, ing before being permitted to run car
: President Calhoun said that it woul
! not be regarded.
Fifteen strikebreakers, electrician
: and linemen, recruited in Tampa, Fla
also arrived. Edward Benson, one
. the party, deserted at Third and Tow
send streets and was taken to the ca
q mems headquarters by union symp
q thizers. Benson stated that he ar
q the others were hired for the Unite
a States Railroads by an agent of JAIME
q Farley, who provided them with ra
d road and Pullman transportation. Be
!, son declared that he was promised
It day, but that Farley's agent did nj
Ii inform him that there was a strike {
/. the United Railroads. Not until thu

N strike, from the trainmen, and he
le cided to desert. He did not kno

le According to Benson, there was no o.

kept by Farley's agent, who instruct
