GRIPMEN, MOTORMEN" AND CONDUCTORS QUIT WORK ON Continued From Page Seventeen. has been asked to look to the protection of theé property of the street railway com- panies, and there is every evidencé that the railroads intend to make a fight of it. The strike was inaugurated ‘at 6:30 o'clock. Richard Cornelius, president of Division No. 205, Amalgamated Associa- tion of Street Railway Employes of America, and a dozen members of the union, all wearing badges, left the head- quarters at the Turk-street Temple at 6:15 o'clock. Most of the delegation went di- rect to Powell and Market streets and waited for a particular car to arrive, the gripman of which could be depended upon to leave his car. That gripman was A. H. Johnson: of ‘car No. 477 of the Jackson street-line, When that car reached the end of the run, at 6.30 o'clock, Johnson was given the word and he at once set his brake and climbed down off the car, amid the cheers of the committee and the crowd of Sympathizers that had already begun to collect. The conductor hesitated for a moment and then gave.in to the solicitations of ‘the strike committee and also left the car. LINE RAPIDLY EXTENDS. As yellow and green cars came down Powell street in rapid succession the strikers appealed to the crew of .each in turn, and with few exceptions the” men left their posts. For the most part they came with their cars into the crowd that began to fill the street.with looks of as- tonishment on their faces. Some hesi- tated about leaving their cars, while oth- ers promptly stepped down the moment the brakes were set. A crowd gathered rapidly and filled the street, extending up Powell as-the line of stalled cars grew, until from Market to Geary sidewalks and street were filled with the curious and an army of strike sympathizers, Men who refused at first to leave their posts or who hesitated too long to please the crowd were jeered and taunted with cries of ‘‘Scab,” and few of them stood out long against the pressure. By-a:quarter past 7 o'clock the line of yellow and green cars reached almost to Geary street, and the company began stopping its cars as they réached the car house, realizing at last that there was no hope of ‘keeping the line open. Cornelius and his men then turned their attention to the Market-street cars, after hesitating for a time between those lines and the Geary-street cars. A Valenc reet car, No. 39, was the first to be stalled on Market street. It was outward bound, and its gripman de- serted it opposite Powell “street at a Guarter past 7 o’clock. After that. the line extended rapidly down Market as far as Grant avenue, and on the other track as far cut as McAllister street. Crowds con- gregated with surprising rapidity and the séeénes on Powell street were repeated on a_magnified scale. . The strikers extended their operations rapidly to the San Mateo, the Sacramento- street, the Harrison-street and finally to the Third and Mission street lires, tying the last two named after half-past 10 o'clock. Prior te the hour set for the first blow, little wax done in way of prep- aration by the union's committee. The strike circular was placed in the hands of the carmen anc dévelopments were await- ed. MAILS MUST MOVE. President Cornelius received the follow- ing communication early in the day: Railway Mail Service, Office of Superin- tendent, Eighth Division, H. P. Thrall, Superintendent. SAN FRANCISCO, April 19, 1902. Mr.. Richard Cornelius, President of Di- Amalgamated Association Street y Employes—Sir: It is of general report that & strike of the employes of the Market-street Railway system will occur in the near future, which is liable to inter- rupt the transmission of the malls on the several street-car lines in this city on “which mail service has been regularly au- thorized. Under the instructions of the Postoffice Department at Washington it is my duty, whenever the mail service is interrupted, or liable to be interrupted by strikes, to call the attention_of the leaders of the strike to section 3995, Revised Statutes (section 694 of the postal laws and regula- tions of 1893). This section reads as foi- lows: “Penalty for obstructing the mail.—Any person who shall knowingly and willfully obstruct or retard the passage of the mali, or any carriage, horse, driver, or carrier cayrying “the same, shall, for every such offerise, be punished by a fine of not more then §100.” It s held that, as relating to street-car the section of the Revised Statutes e referred to covers the forcible deten- tion cf-the mail cars carrying the United States malls, in transit, by an organized, or disorganized body of men, or the pre- venting of. any mail car, or other car, car- ying the mails, or vehicle, from starting frum & depot, or other placé from which 4{ is_ tustomary for it to start, or the assault upon a driver, conductor, -motorman or gripman, who is in charge of such mail and whose duty it i o convey it to destina- thon: For your information will say that reil- way “postoffice cars (mall cars) are run under - regular contract. with the Market- street -Rallroad Company on Hayes ‘strest, -petween.

Ciosed mail pouches are also carried un- der regular contract on regular passenger cars on Market, between Ferry Station Postoffice and Station G, at the intersection of Beventeenth and Market streets, and at Market and Hayes streets; between Ferry Station Postotfice and. Station H, at 602 Hayes street, and on Clay, Larkin and Sacramento streéts, between'Station F, lo- cated on Sacramento street, between Fill- more_and Steiner_streets, and Ferry Sta- tion Postoffice. Very respecttully, H. P. THRALL, Superintendent. Cornelius and several members of the committee at once paid a visit to Super- intendent Thrall and assured him that no interference with the mail service was intended. They said they were law-abid- ing citizens and hoped to keep strikers and sympathizers from any infraction of the law. THEATER-GOERS SUFFER FROM THE TIE-UP All the lines that were tied up last pight were stopped in the same sudden manner as the Powell and Market street cars. Everything was done as if by preconcert- ed plan. The San Matéo electric line, which was the third to feel the effécts of the strikers’ mandate, was interrupted at o Optical Department.

E 949-951 Market Street. i l the corner of Fifth and Harrison streets. At this point about 8:30 car 55, while on its outward bound trip, was boarded by one of the strikers’ delegates and the gripman was requested to quit his posi- tion. As stated afterward, he had ex- pected g‘u op at that place and was pre- pared ti sume his place in the ranks of the strikers. A few moments later car 42, also outbound, came up and was stopped, as was car 5 when it reached the scene of obstruction. Not the least trouble was experienced by the strikers in tying up the San Mateo electric line. When several cars became stacked up between Fourth and: Fifth streets on Harrison and the whole ser- vice on that line was thoroughly demoral- ized, the strikers permitted the men to e their cars into the sheds, with the tacit understanding that they'would be abandoned there. Tn the same mantier about an hour later | .minutes traffic ceased. MANY LINES the Sacramento-street line was rendered uselessfor the time being. The tieup on this line occurred at the ferry and was affected without the least outbreak. The conductors and gripman peaceably quit their stations and after a number of cars had become stalled the company had them taken to the shed and stored for the nlght. ne of the last lines to be interrupted last night was the Mission and Third- street. The strikers seemed to hesitate about attacking this road and the thou- sands of residents of the Mission were in the hope that it would not be obstructed. But about 11 o’clock the signal was given and the delegates of the union stopped car 1103 between Market -and Mission streets. The delegates were assisted by a great mob of men and boys, who intim- idated the reluctant car men into leaving thelr cars. Car 1106 was stopped soon after car 1103, and as one of these cars was on each track the blockade was made very effective. So great did the enthusi- asm of the mob become while the cars were being stopped that a small riot was almost precipitated at the corner of Mar- ket and Third streets. Sergeunt Mahoney was called into service and, with the as- sistance of several policemen succeeded in restoring order. Before the striké had been in operation more than an hour the general public had experienced great inconvenience and had reason to fervently wish that the trouble would soon be adjusted. The theaters were the heaviest sufferers by reason of the tie-up. Mr. Gottlol of the Columbia estimated that every amusement house had lost about $200. “On Saturday nights the audiences at the theaters are chi efly composed of people who have Secured their seats in advance, and for this reason the size of the audiences were not de- creased to any great extent. Gottlob sald that had the strike occurred ini the mid- dle of the week the theaters would have suffered to a very great extent. At the Central Theater it was stated that not ane of the people who had or- dered seats gver the telephone appeared at the box office to make good their order, This was true to a great extent in all the other theaters, The people across the bay did not know that the strike was to be put In effect last night, and so they crowded over on the boats'to attend the dl&e;enl plays. When they reached the ferr on this side and looked out on Market sireet and saw that the cars were standing still their faces lengthened and it did not require an ex- pert mind reader to perceive that they did not relish the prospects of the long tramp to the theaters and other places of amusement. After the theaters when the people com- menced to look for their cars to go ‘ta their homes, they crowded to the stopping places and walted long in vain for the welcome light of a car to appear. The residents f’gm Oakland and Berkeley and the other fowns across the bay streamed down to the ferry in long lines, making the time agreeable by hoping for the end of the difficulty. Carriages and hacks and conveyances of all kinds excepting street cars did a thriving business. After the plays a ve- hicle"could scarcely be obtained at any price. LARKIN STREET AND SAN MATEO LINES TIED UP Some fifteen cars of the Larkin-street line were held up by the strikers opposite the City Hall at 10 o'clock last night and some very effective proselyting done. Many of the gripmen and conductors ob- Jected to leaving their posts,- but after | some drgument they consented to quit their cars as soon as they had been housed. Within an hour the erews of all the cars agréed to join thie vdnks of the strikers, No opposition was made to ‘the turning in. of the cars, and when they were. housed the men went out, declaring their intention to stand out -until their demands. were acceded to by the com- any. - pTge San Mateo electric cars were held up at the corner of Fifth and Harrisen streets about 10 o'clock, and in a few Three cars were | deserted by their crews and at midnigat | they were still standing in the street.

Every policeman in the city has been or- dered to be on hand for special duty.

She said in a recent letter: "I suffered for over a year with general weakness and debility mani- fested in severe headache and backache. I took four bottles of Feruna and for two months have been entirely free from these maladies.” Nervous Prostration. Thousands of cases might be quoted in which Peruna has been used to rescue people from the perdition of deranged nerves and put them on the good, solid foundation of health. The County Audi- tor of Erie County, New York, Hon. John W. Neff, in a recent letter written at Buffalo, N.
