It Is well known that - the employment of armed men to represent either side of the pres ent difficulty will, naturally result In producing conditions of violence and disorder. ¦ ¦ ¦ . ;.¦ I. therefore request and direct that during the continuance of this: strike no permits to carry d.adly weapons.be .issued by your, board, and that no private detective agency be granted the right to employ and arm special ' private detec k tlves ass the purposes Indicated. - , - . .- -, fflMKSfti-rfiUMhirfBuMBtHHiH'i t ' wwfrMWBTHftB- tMwflffl-r l A delegation of -strikers appeared at Mayor Schmltz's office yesterday and lodged Information that a report had been filed • at headquarters to the effect that Curtin's Detective Agency had been re tained by the United I Railroads' for the purpose of protecting Its- property- >"and that, many men were being armed in fur therance of that design. . ¦ . Mayor Schmitz informed the committee that no such action on the part of the agency in question or any one else would be tolerated. The committee departed with the understanding, that if any detec tives of the agency named attempted any; display of force at any of the car barns the Mayor should be notified at once. ¦; >•'.... .... i ..¦ NO PERMITS TO CARRY WEAPONS TO BE ISSUED As Illustrative of the ability to operate, the cars with proper police protection and of the in ability to operate them without, we beg to Ftaf that this morning a Sacramento-street car had no difficulty In making a round trip with two police officers aboard, whereas, when these two officers were withdrawn, the carmen declined, through personal fear, to proceed fur ther with their work. This is but an illustra tion of the condition existing on all of i t'M lines. That 'the fears of the "men. are n/t wholly groundless and that there is urgent a*id Immediate necessity for aproper police protec tion is evidenced by the following incidents of personal assault and physical damage lo prop erty, which is but a partial list of similar inci dents which have occurred since the strike-be gan last evenlne: l: / O. ¦ Vorbeck,' car 452. Jackson street, was assaulted by an unknown man at Powell and Car Makes Bound Trip. You can readily appreciate the Inconvenience to the traveling public which will be occa sioned by the stoppage of streetcar traffic in ban Francisco, and tte therefore respectfully ask that you aid the several companies In the discharge of the duties which they owe to the public in the operation, of their several street car lines. From the facts before us It Is per fectly apparent that with proper police protec tion the effects of the strike will be shortlived and the several lines affected will soon resume their normal condition. This protection, how ever, to be adequate must Include the presence on each car so. operated of one or more police officers to Insure the personal safety of the men in charge of *aid car. "We believe that two policemen on each car. one in the front of the car and one In the rear end. will be suffi cient, although, of course, subsequent events would determine Just what would be necessary and of which you. of course, would be enabled to Judge better than ourselves. Captain George W. Wlttman, Chief of Police Hall of Justice. San Francisco. — Sir: - A strike on the lines of. the street railways, belonging to the United Ralroads of San Francisco, but still operated by the former owners thereof, to wit: The Market Street . Hallway Company, Sutter Street Railway Company, Sutro Railroad Com pany and " the San Francisco and San Mateo Electric Railway. Company, has made it diffi cult to operate Hhe cars on those lines in the absence of police protection tor the men operat ing same. The companies above referred to have sufHclent men to operate the cars upon their respective lines providing the men thus engaged are properly protected . from personal harm. ' . ' '. The following .letter was received by Chief 'of Police. Wittman from the United Railroads yesterday: \ COMPLAINS OF;VIOLENGE OF STRIKERS Chief of Police Wlttman stated that, thus far no tendancy toward violence had been shown, and that there was no neces sity for protection, other than that which could be. amply afforded by the regular police force. The question as to the right of private detectives to carry [ weapons was discussed, and the conclusion of the board, after having consulted the Politi cal Code, was that their privileges were no greater than any other citizen's, unless they were added to, in the regular way by the Police Commissioners. Superintendent Vining of the United Railroads sent a communication request ing that the privilege of carrying a con cealed weapon be granted to one Samuel H. Plnkerton,- who is to be employed as a watchman of the company's property. As Vining's office boy had brtfught the communication^ and no one appeared to urge that it be granted, the board ordered Pinkerton to appear at the next regular meeting and state his request in person. At -yesterday's meeting of- the Police Commission the matter : of retail drug gists selling liquor for medicinal purposes was put over for discussion until tho next regular meeting. ' : Officers Hostitter, O'Shay, Dougherty and Herring were fine* for leaving theii beats, and Officer Rooker will contribute to the police fund for not making a report of why ha was absent from his beat. the present car strike has been settled. The matter was brought to the attention of the board by Mayor Schmitz, who not only sent a communica tion, but .was present to discuss the situa tion and to define the stand he takes re garding the arming of private citizens. . AT a. meeting of the. Police Commissioners I held J yesterday afternoon at the Hall of Justice it was decided to refuse appli cations for permits to carry concealed weapons until after ]¦•- "I have a'great admiration for the r.ien I that worked for the Market-street • road I I :. think they are < the best bodv of men I In any city in : this country.

"How many strikes have you been con nected with, Mr. Huntington?" was asked "Ten;" was the : reply, Vand I never lost ' one of ' them. The biggest was the Newport News strike last year.. It lasted six weeks, ; and 7000 men were thrown out of employment." They all voted unani mously; at ! last that - they wanted , to come back to work. " I don't- believe in granting concessions to men when they are out. They should be made. while they are working." ' ¦¦. "What do you think th« result of this strike will.be?" was asked. ' "When I was with the Market-street Railway," he . said, - "Mr. Vinlng used to tell | me that the trouble was that the men used »Xo work by the hour, and he bad difficulty in keeping them from work ing too many hours. They knew that the ionger; they worked the more. money they r.iade, and it was hard to -keep them off the cars." . Although TJre'y L. Ford la the leading representative of the Baltimore syndicate, the old attorneys of the Market Street Hallway are still assisting in legal mat ters until the 1st of May. Chief Counsel W. F. Herrin of the Southern Pacific has been in many conferences with the direc tors of the United Hauroads since the strike commenced. In an interview he stated that the company stood in no dan ger of losing its franchises.' He said a railroad company could not lose a fran chise except in a case of willful non-op eration.'. "When physical force is used against a road to prevent the operation of its system the company is not to blame. He further explained that if a railroad can fully demonstrate that . through no fault of its own it is unable to run cars a court will take a lenient view of th-i matter. . . ¦',-: H. E. Huntington was interviewed af ter he Icft.the offices of the company yes terday . afternoon and from hte remarks it could be judged that he was simply voicing the views of the directors of the United Railroads. .-He says that the strike was a great surprise to him, and though he is no longer- connected with tne street car systems in 'this city, he thought that the men were perfectly with their condition, j • . - ~ •- . . Acting President Arthur Holland was closeted nearly all day with General Man ager Vbiins. He left the offices of the company aoout 4 o'clock and hurried on to Market street. He refused to make any statement, his only remark being: "We intend to run our cars as soon as possible; in fact, as soon as we can g-jt the men." President Holland was very nervous and showed great resentment toward the newspaper artists who tried to take his picture. He declined to pose for a pho tograph, and held the lapel of hia over coat over his" face every time a camera was leveled at him. ¦ The United Railroads have one street car line operating, which has been un affected, by the strike- This is the old horse-car line that runs from Montgom ery and California streets to the ferries. There are two horse-cars - on this lin^, and since the strike -the horse-cars have been crowded on every trip. Superintend ent'of-Construction H. H. 'Lynch has charge of this line, and he was in a very happy mood yesterday to think that this road had been given the overlook by the union car men. . HOLLAND WILL NOT TALK.

As the days pass the necessity for transportation by wagon becomes more apparent. ; The owners of the vehicles are earning good money and there is none who is not inclined to wish them success in their enterprise. Meanwhile- the out side residents are wondering how long the strike will last and just how long they must be • bundled . about in springless wagons or walk. . The vehicles which did the most busi ness were those provided" with-.loud voiced fellows who shouted through mega phones that their teams were the best on the street. One lusty chap yelled con tinuall" "Here's the only palace car. on the line; reserve your seats in time!" An other informed the waiting puolic that his "Pullman would start for Twenty fourth and Valencia streets in ten min utes." Each vehicle bore rudely painted signs, indicating its destination and stat ing the amount of the fare to be paid in return for the. service rendered. This was paid .without protest, the sentiment being that the advanced rates were rea sonable and just. 1 he spectacles that greeted pedestrians throughout the day were not devoid of interest. To the majority of the people the sights were unusual and therefore novel. To those who were compelled to tramp to and from -their homes in the absence of suitable conveyances, the ex perience was one fraught .with discom fort. Men had to get up by candle light and leave their homes before dawn in or der to report for duty three miles away at 7 a, m. -Many men ¦ remained, "^downtown all night in order to be on haad early in the morning, ¦ their old-time "excuse that they missed the last car standing them -in good stead when matutinal explanations were in order. ¦' * . ¦ ks ;-¦¦ ¦ i ., Every old rattle-trap of. -a wagon in the city and many attenuated specimens: of horseflesh were in use along Market street. These vehicles were provided chairs and cloth-covered seats and pre sented a very inviting aspect to the resi dent who had to cover a trifle of twenty blocks or so in order to reach his home. Gaily dressed women did not disdain to ride in trucks drawn by four horses, nor did gentlemen with plug hats refuse to ac cept seats in express wagons at 10 cents a trip. Social distinction and forms were forgotten for the time^nd all seemed to enjoy the occasion as a picnic.
