ance that half ton Of explosives was
stored near by. No warning was given,
and when the sheet iron shack con-
tanning the dynamite split open with a
dull roar the men manning the hose,

SAVED COMRADES LIFE.
e. w. Whitehead Commended by Nav,
Department for Bravery.

Washington, Aug. 10.-Acting Sec
retary Newberry has formally placed
on record with the navy departments
heartiest commendation of the self
sacrifice and bravery exhibited by Ed
ward Wade Whitehead, first class gum
ner's mate, in fearlessly risking his
own life to save that of a comrade.
The details of the act for which
Whitehead is commended, are set forth
in the letter of Acting Secretary
Newberry to the commandant of the
station at Tutuila, Samoa. from which
1t appears that a landslide had de-
stroyed the barracks of that station,
and that Whitehead, at great risk with
his own body, had protected Sergeant
John F. Cox U. S. NJ. c., from being
crushed beneath the slowly advancing
avalanche of concrete and earth, un-
til relief was able to extricate the
men.

cLowRY MAKES STATEMENT
Says Telesraphers' Union Is Fighting
for Closed Shop.

for Closed Shop.
New York, Aug. 1O.-Colonel Clowry,
president and general manager of the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
gave out the following statement in
relation to the strike at Los Angeles
and Chicago:
"on July % an operator at Los An
geles was charged with maliciously de-
laying traffic. AS a careful investiga-
ton, which lasted several days, showed
conclusively that he was guilty of de-
liberately obstructing traffic on impor-
tant circuits, he was discharged. Pc
tition signed by other employees of the
office requesting his reinstatement was
thereupon presented to the local SUI
perintendent, and when the signers
were advised that the company would
not tolerate the malicious delaying
of important messages, and that the
discharged operator would not be re-
employed, the majority of the oper-
ating force quit work without notice.
Operators were sent to take their
places from nearby points, and at II
o'clock Thursday night the operators
in the Chicago office employed on the
western circuits, acting in conformity
with resolutions understood to have
been adopted by the local union organ
ization, refused to work with the nom
union men at Los Angeles, and when
this was insisted on they quit work in
a body.
"The Chicago operators have pre-
sented no grievance, and the present
movement is an attempt to enforce the
closed shop rule, which, if successful,
would take control of the company's s
affairs out of its own hands. Such a
condition it has been repeatedly shown
is inimical to the confidential and re-
sponsible character of the company's g
relation to the United States govern
ment and to the public.
