STRIKE UNPOPULAR.
Public Sympathy Turns Strongly
Against Frisco Rioters.

San Francisco, May 16.-Roses and
cobblestones featured the run of two
cars of the United Railroads, manned
by twenty strike breakers, from the
car barns at Oak and Broderick
streets for a distance IF three or
four miles through the business and
residence streets of the Western Adj
dition. Stirred to admiration by tic
courage of the unarmed strike break
ers in operating the two cars in the
mob-crowded thoroughfares, women
all along the route stcou on door
steps or leaned from windows, and
waved handkerchiefs. clapped their
hands, cheered or threw kisses to the
non unionists as the police protected
cars ran slowly by. On the return
trip, on Sacramento street, near Pre-
sldio eyenue, a young girl ran out
from florists shop and tossed a
handful of bright red, long-stemned
carnations to the platform of one OF
the cars.
Lifting their caps and smiling. sew
eral of the men leaned far out and
caught the posies. The cars were
halted then, while young women
brought clusters of carnations and
roses from the shop and offered them
to the men. Soon every strike-breaker
had a flower in his coat The extra
ones they tossed to Assistant Presi-
dent Mutually, Superintendent Chap
man, Chief Surgeon Coffey, Assistant
Purchasing Agent Finigan and other
officials of the company, who were
keeping pace in an automobile with
the cars. From a bakery shop in
the neighborhood a stout woman
came hurrying breathlessly, her
hands full of small cakes, hot from
the oven. They were devoured in
twinkling by the uniformed recipients
and she ran back to her shop and
brought more.
Building is stopped on all sides
and the town is filled with men with
out jobs. 1t is not that the business
men have found any new courage.
Their resolve to crush the unions
comes from desperation. They cannot
get money to go on with the work
Money that came flooding after the
fire from Insurance companies has
been used up and eastern men win no
longer send money into a city where
the business is ruled by labor
unions as ~ a terrible car. There
will probably be more bloodshed and
violence and murder. But in the end

cisco will become free men once
