Independent and Bell Tele-
phone Companies Placed
on Unfair List.
SOME OF THE MEN PRESENT
OPPOSED TO THE ACTION
Whispers of a Settlement of the
Strike Within the Next
Ten Days.

In response to a petition from the
electrical workers, the Federation of
Labor voted Friday night to place the
Bell and Independent Telephone compa-
MES on the unfair list. Although it is
said that this action does not make ii
incumbent upon the members of the
Federation to withdraw their patronage
from the telephone companies it will
have practically that effect, inasmuch
as all who advocated favorable action
on the petition announced that they
would have their telephones removed
from their homes without delay. 9th
ers who were enthusiastic in adopting
the resolution fell in line when they
found the majority in favor Of the
proposition and these are expected to
carry the implied mandate into effect
together with those who were more ar
dent.
Even though the resolution was
adopted without dissenting vote, there
were were ma many yo,ns. who opposed compliance
Federation had no right to declare a
boycott against corporation They
contended further that the telephones
were placed in the houses under time
limit contract and unless tho time limit
had expired the companies could not
be compelled TO remove them.
Lynn Argument.
Replying to these objections. l..
Lynn, acting president of the electrical
workers, said that placing the compa-
MES on the unfair list did not mean
that they were being boycotted. He
asserted that il favorable action was
taken it would help his organization
in securing the support Of organized
labor in tributary territory as well as
in Salt Lake City.
While reviewing the strike situation
Mr.. Lynn said that with few excep-
tions, such as Ogden, where the men
have no grievance, all Of the telephone
linemen are out on strike. The local
companies, he said. had employed BOYS
to carry rolls of wire, etc. about town
In order 10 make showing, but that
no telephones were being installed
When seen after the meeting he said
that there was no change in the strike
situation and that at present he could
see no chance for settlement
The officers of the Bell Telephone
company announced Friday that their
linemen at Boise met Thursday night
and voted not 10 Join the strike. They
said that they had received adyices
from superintepdents at number of
scattered stations that the men who
had gone out on a strike had returned
TO work Friday. From unofficial sources
il was hinted Friday that there are
prospects Of an adjustment within the
next ten days.

ing; a Peculiar Oath.

The inaugural meeting Of the new

by ex-President Stayner Richards, who
invited the new officers TO take seats
On the stage. AS the newly elected
members stepped to the front, cheer af-
ter cheer was given.
The programme which followed was
opened with a solo by Miss Hazel
Barnes, Mr. Richards then made few
very appropriate remarks, congratulate.
ing the students on their selection Of
officers for the coming year, and saying
that he was pleased to report that his
staff had loyalty supported him; that
they had held weekly meetings to CON
slider the welfare of the school 81 ad-
mire n man. he said, "who will de-
vote time and attention TO the better

over $500. AS a result Of our labors,
prosperity and love we, the officers Of

a beautiful silk flag, possibly 6x10 feet,
filed in the center with a white GU
there was much cheering When the
tumult ceased Mr. Richards begged of
the students that they support the new
president as they had supported him. He
then asked Mr.. Young to arise and take
the oath Of office. In commencing, Mr.

pledged our support to the loyalty of

The new yell master, Mike Downey,
with his assistant, Stirling Talmage,
were in very humorous way sworn
INFO their positions. c. Scott. who gen
orally has curious system of his own,
arranged the stunt. Downey and Tai
mage were taken to the stage and re-
quested TO kneel before an open die
tionary, placing their left hands upon
the book and raising their right. In
this attitude they remained while Scott
read aloud the following oath;
"I solemnly syeaT on mine bended
knees, with mine eyes elevated to the
gloomy heavens beyond, that ] will
stretch my enormous mouth to the
utmost limits of It's yelling capacity,
and through my efforts victory shall
come to roost on our banners on high, -
To which Downey replied: 81 swear,
so help me yell.'
