Los ANGELES, Aug. 26.-Inter-

California has practically ceased, as
the result of strikes OF steam road

Electric interurban strikers. Thou
sands OF tourists are marooned. The

These boats have experienced the
novelty OF wealthy people clamoring
for steerage. The only appreciable ef-
feet of the act OF the "big four" lead
crs In ordering the steam line men
back to work was the spread of the
stroke northvard and southward and
the expressed determination of the
leaders to "see II through to "A finish" 4"
The strike has the strong backing of
