LOS ANGELES. Aug. 25.-A
large number of Southern Pacific
shOpmen have Joined the strike,
and paraded the streets yesterday.
Railroad officials said that they
were unable to determine at this
time whether or not all of the
thirty-One hundred sfcpmen had
joined the walkout.
Paralysis cf all steam roads
continues. J. II. Dyer, general
manager of the Southern Pacific
characterized the situation as be-
very critical after learning that
railroad employees at lndio had
walked out. He said, that this
condition seriously crippled the
railroad and would possibly halt
all traffic toward Arizona and
Texas"
Following the decision of the
railway employees to extend the
strike of the Santa Fe lines to
BarstOw and Needles, Santa Fe
officials announced that they are
unable to move trains on their
lines towards San Francisco or
the east. Salt Lake railway is
tied up to San Bernardino.
The postoffice department is con

Under Orders Refuse to

SMALL TOWNS GO

Unable to Serve Custom

There are no changes in Imperial
Valley conditions resulting from the
tie-up of train service except that un-
der orders from headquarters the eX-
press company is refusing to accept
any perishables.
Under normal conditions about ten
carloads of butter move weekly, to-
gether with considerable quantities of
cream and other dairy prodocts. Con-
sumers in towns where there are no
cold storage supplies in Southern Cal
.ifornia and Arizona are probably suf-
fering from a butter shortage. A
number of these towns depend alone
upon outside sources for their bread.
The Imperial Valley bakery of Ell
Centro ships bread as far as Gila
Bend. It is taking care of trade as
far as Calipatria by truck service,
but more distant towns have been
without bread for two days.
Indicative of the business inconven-
ience resulting from the strike is the
delay which will result in opening of
the new National bakery on Sixth
street, the equipment of which
has been ordered and would have ar
rived today but the probability is
that it will not arrive here for sew
eral days after the end of the strike.
The hold-up on mail service means
much Inconvenience to Ell Centre
bank employees. Imperial Valley busi-
ness clears through to two great trade
centers, Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco, and the daily run of this bust
ness represent hundreds of exchanges.
These are piling up to the embarrass-
ment of tire banks and the public.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 25.-Scores
of dead locomotives, hundreds of mo-
tionless passenger cars and literally
thousands of stalled freight cars,
mingled and mixed in guarded yards
devoid of motion, marked the second
Sunday of the transportation strike
here and the first Sunday of idleness
on the steam roads.
Not a train left Los Angeles yester-
day; passengers were turned away
from the various depots; express was
piled high in the sheds and the amount
of mail accumulated is estimated at
not less than twenty-five cars.
Meanwhile railroad officials vainly
waited for promised conference with
the four great railroad brotherhoods.
The brotherhood officers here have
said repeatedly that the tie-up of
transportation was not due to their or
ders, but they agreed to meet with
operating officials and lay before them

dividuals, demanded to insure their
return to duty. This meeting had not
been held late in the afternoon.
The strike of platform men of the
Los Angeles Street Railway, which
was the first of five systems here to
he crippled by loss of employees, ap-
pcared no nearer settlement today
than it was a week ago. The men,
without adopting any formal resolu-
.tions, said freely that they would not
return unless all ike-breakers were
discharged and they were reinstated
On their old runs without having to
apply for unemployment. The COM
pany emphatically declined to dis
charge the new men or to take back
teh strikers as a body. In the mean
time, partial service continued thru
the daylight hours, all cars being
withdrawn at 8 o'clock, as they have
| been for the past week.
! Pacific Electric trains operated on
about two-thirds schedule during
the day to 8 o'clock each train carry
ing armed guards. The company was
unable to care for more than frac-
tion of the beach traffic, and thous-
ands Of persons who habitaully spend
their Sundays by the sea were COM
PEELED to remain at home.
Santa Fe Abandons Effort to Operate
The Santa Fe depot bore notice
that the company had quit trying
to operate trains out of Los Angeles.
1t endeavored to do so until yesterday
when a strike Of the "big four" men,
hers at San Bernardino withdrew
practically all trainmen from the serv-
ice in the divisions extending from
Los Angeles to San Bernardino and
from San Bernardino to Needles.
The Southern Pacific company post
ed notice that it would operate trains
if crews could be secured. Up to a
late hour it had not sent out any
trains.
Salt Lake Service Irregular
The Salt Lake system posted a
similar notice. Through trains from
the east continued to 'arrive at ire
gular intervals on all systems, but
as rapidly as the crews reached here
they left the service of their respec-
tive roads with the result that equip
ment continued to pile up and the
ranks of the strikers continued to
gain strength.
The day was quiet from the stand
point of the police At a few points
in the city men gathered and peered
at the working platform men of the
electric railway companies, but no
acts of violence were reported, and
che police and sheriff's deputies who
had been working 12-hour shifts for
several days, had chance to rest.
Postal Authorities Lay Plans
The postal authorities were en-
gagged in making plans for handling
mails by automobile and boat to
points outside the strike zone, which
now affects nearly all of southern
California. 1t was announced that
| steps would be taken to insure the
operation of mail trains. The mail
situation appeared in danger of fur
ther complication when it was learn
! today that dock workers at San
Pedro were expected to strike inn
mediately. Such strike, in addi-
ton to congesting steamer freight,
would prevent rapid handling Of mail
by boat, according to the postoffice
inspectors here.

less from the war than many other
cities of the Balkans. AS compared
with Belgrade it is a city of lux

One canot say, truthfully, whether
or no the people of Sarajevo are
content with the new Jugo-Slav gov
ernment at Belgrade. Whatever dis
satisfaction may exist, however, is
well guarded. In concert halls and
elsewhere are posters which say
"Speak Serbian" All official state
,ments are to the effect that there is
little dissatisfaction with the Jugo-
SlaY state as now organized.
