BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO May 6.-The day
passed quietly and there was practically
no change in either the car mems, iron
workers or telephone strikes.
Two or three cars hauling provisions
and other commissary supplies between
the car barns were run over some of the
lines of the United railroads. Beyond
hooting and jeering along the routes
travelled by the cars, no demonstration
was made.
1t is pretty generally understood that
the first attempt to run cars will be
made tomorrow. President Calhoun
would not make known his plans, but
Issued statement tonight Indicative
of his intention to start out some cars
tomorrow. He admitted to the Asso-
ciated Press that he anticipated trouble
but expressed the opinion that it would
be of short duration. The company, it
is said, has about 500 strike breakers
ready to take out cars.
Schmitz Issues Statement
Mayor Schmitz has issued a state
ment that he will not place policemen
on the cars and that the police will be
used only to preserve and maintain
order.
The Civic league has been indie
fatigable in it's efforts to settle the
street car and telephone strikes and was
busy until nearly midnight tonight en-
deavoring to bring President Cornelius
of the car men and President Calhoun
of the United railroads together. 1t
met with no encouragement.
The telephone service was much i'm
proved today. The company claims to
have $50 operators at work and that
there has been detection of several
girls from the union. The first state
ment is discredited by the union and
the latter emphatically denied. The
linemen served notice on President Scott
today that unless the telephone ope-
rators' union is recognized by the COM
pany the linemen will go out in sympa-
thy with the girls.
A meeting between the linemen and
President Scott was arranged for to-
morrow afternoon.
AS a result of the iron workers strike

at the Union Iron works, will be fin

The Union Iron works telegraphed
the navy department at Washington
last week. requesting the government
to accept delivery of the cruiser in it's
present incomplete condition without
requiring the contractors to fully COM
plete her as stipulated.
Secretary Metcalf ha wired a COM
pliance with this request and the
cruiser will be finished at the Mare is

CASE Is POSTPONED
BY Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, May 6.-The ILL
ness of Abe Ruef caused postpone
ment of his trial for one week, it be-
ing shown to Judge Dunno this morn
ing that the prisoners condition would
make it unwise for him to leave the
house in which he is maintained by
Elisor Biggy.

Ruef, testified that Ruef is suffering
from very severe cold, and that while

the use of Christian Science hall, at the
corner Of Sacramento and Scott streets,

RAILWAY OFFICIALS
ROUNDLY SCORED BY
PRESIDENT CORNELIUS
By Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 6.-The fol-
lowing statement was handed out by
President Cornelius of the Car Mems
union tonight:
IF there was any doubt in the minds
of the people of San Francisco as to
where the responsibility for the pres
ent tie-up of the street car traffic
should lie we are confident that the
latest infiammatory utterances of Mr..
Patrick Calhoun have set the doubt at
rest.
The public can now see what kind
of g. man Mr.. Patrick Calhoun is and
what opinion he has of them and us.
He tells the world today that he is
the victim of conspiracy.
'He heard months ago that we were
going to strike in order to help out his
enemies. If he was told that and be-
lieved it, why did he keep saying up to
Saturday night that we would not
strike. Either he was saying then the
thing that is not true or he is saying it
now.
1--WE don't know what Mr.. Patrick
Calhoun's enemies are doing and we
don't care. We are not his enemies
we never were and we don't want to be.
He SENS to think that the man who
will not consent to be his slave must be
his enemy. We offered and still offer
our labor for fair price.
Not Parties to Conspiracy
1--WE are not parties to any conspir-
acy and that we are not Mr.. Calhoun
is the best evidence. The reason why
he states we are conspirators is be-
cause we struck at this time. But who
made us strike at this time? If Mr..
Calhoun had wanted it the decision of
the board of arbitration could have
been made to run for twelve months or
two years longer, but Mr.. Calhoun did
not want 1t so.
"He wanted new bargain and a
new contract at this very time, and he
has no right to shout conspiracy now
when we are trying to get the best
terms we can.
'Now we ask the public when have
we been lawless?' With more provo
cation than any other class of men We
have kept the law to the last jot and
little. We intend to keep the law and
to keep it scrupulously. We are NOT
blackmailers, we are not hoodlums We
are not lawless. We are plain, decent
