BEGIN BAT Tie
AGAINST UNION


OAKLAND, June 11.-Just one week
after the members of the Cooks and
Walters Union went on strike against
the Restaurant Owners Association of
Oakland to enforce the demand of the
union that the employers sign the
agreement presented, the first drastic
step in the battle between the employ
ers and employees has been taken. The
wholesale butchers, in sympathy with
the restaurant owners, have notified
the proprietors of the retail butcher
shops of this city that are supplying
the restaurants which areindorsed by
the Cooks and Walters Union that un-
less they cease supplying these restau
rants their wholesale supplies of meat
will be cut off.
Local labor leaders claim that the ac-
tion of the wholesale butchers will not
affect in the least the restaurant own
ers who have stood by the union. They
say that the California Cooperative
Meat Company will be able to supply
the needs of all the restaurants af-
fected by the action of the whole
salers. Whether or not the restaurant
owners will take the same view of the
case as do the union men remains to
be seen.

LEWIS AND CLARK
TO BE HIS THEME
Professor Thwaites Will Tell
Of Great Western
Expedition.

BERKELEY, June 1I.-Professor Reu-
ben Cold Thwsites, head Of the depart
nnent Of history in the University Of Wis
consin, has informed the university au-
1hOrities that his course Of lectures at
the sL.nrner school in Berkeley viii deal
with what he calls the Western phase"
OF American history. The fact that Pro-
fessor Thwaites has just completed the
editing Of original journals Of the Lewis
and Clark expedition that are regarded as
Inc most authentic record Of the expeii-
tion is expected to add to the interest of
his lectures here.
Professor Thwsites is to give lectures
that will include accounts from these
journals. The first account OF the Lewis
and Clark expedition was prepared by n.
Bidoie Of Philadelphia in 1914 from what
were then supposed 10 be the only origf-
nal journals Of persons connected with
the expedition.
In 1913 Thomas Jefferson, while Presi-
dent Of the United States. collected other
notebooks and journals of members Of
the expedition and placed them in the
possession OF the National Philosophical
Association. IT was supposed, too. that
these documents were the only correct
records Of the journey undertaken by
Lewis and Clark's company.
Professor Thwaites, however, secured
possession several years ago Of five vol
umes Of manuscript notes by Captain
Clark. together with other valuable notes
OF the journey into Oregon, and from
these he has compiled the first complete
and authentic account of the notable ex-
pedfticn.

PASTOR RESIGNS
WITHOUT WARNING
Rev.E. f.. Clark to Leave Elm
hurst Presbyterian Church
at the End of July.

OAKLAND, June 11.-Without giving
any req son for his sudden action. the
Rev. E. e. Clark the pastor Of the
Elmhurst Presbyterian Church, has
sent in his resignation, to take effect
on September 1, TO the vestrymen of the
church, and it has been accepted with
out question or comment.
II is understood, however, that the
action of the pastor was caused by the
recent scandal in the church. when w.
A. McDermitt, a former elder of the
church, WAS deposed from his position
and denied communion in the church
by the trial committee of the Alameda
County Presbytery for having made
false charges of immoral conduct
against another elder of the church
and one of the feminine members of
the congregation
The pastor by his championship of
the accused members of the church,
whom he believed to be innocent, has
caused some of McDermitt's friends TO
criticize him rather hafshly, and 1T is
said that rather than cause dissension
he resigned
