SPOKANE MEN STAND PAT

ha been able to secure lately was
to the effect that a settlement in
their. favor was but a matter of a
few days. No intimation of Small
surrender had been given through
the mail. There was no call for
more funds, no intimation that the
union was suffering financially. 1t
was the understanding from the
first that the men would find what
ever employment they could until
the strike was settled, and this
most of them had done.
Following Small's message the
local men received a message Sun
day morning from A. w. Cops,
deputy national president at Chi
cago, instructing them to pay no
attention to long message from
Small, denouncing 1t as a scheme
to stampede the operators back to
work If possible.
The case against Small is made
the blacker by the fact of his be-
ing able to send a message that or
dinarily would cost 81 to each of
the 1876 branches of the union In
this country. 1t is their belief that
this message was sent out free by
the Western Union as part OF the
plan to break down the strike,
which until Small took the course
he did, showed not the slightest
sign of weakness. Especial efforts
were made In this city to get the
message to Sec. Thiede as soon as
possible after it was received here.
Pres. Nisonger, of the local union,
to whom it was addressed, is at
work in British Columbia and
Thiede was called up on the phone
and told OF the Small order.
Men here who know Small per-
sonally say he is weakened and had
been source of doubt ever since
the strike began.
1t was freely predicted that he
would have to make himself
scarce and today's dispatches tell
Of his disappearance.
In sending out the news of
Small's surrender Sunday morning
1t is believed that advantage was
taken of the inability OF afternoon
papers to present the mems side of
the case until Monday, In which
time the men would be stampeded,
IL the scheme worked. Through
the use of United Press wires and
Hearts service, however, the
loyal officers Of the order speedily
got In communication with officers
of all locals and found they had
nothing to fear by reason of Small's
duplicity The rank and Ale OF the
union were mystified, but they re-
fused to waver and the plan fell
through.
The Spokane operators are hop
ing that Percy Thomas, former dep.
uty national president, will be in
charge. From New York opera
tor they yesterday received a mes
sage saying that Thomas had de.
nounced Small's action as individ-
ual and suggesting that everybody
stand pat. Spokane members had
already decided to - SO.

Just about the time the police
caught Harry Archibald, an under
sized 13-year-old boy, at the Great
Northern depot this morning, his
anxious father was telephoning po-
lice headquarters from Greenwood,

Harry looked lost when he got
off the train and when the officers
talked to him he began to tangle
up his replies, which made them
suspect he had run away from
home.
He paid his fare here on some
money he saved working at odd
jobs around the mining camp. His
excuse is that his father "was
mean to him."
