IN THE FIELD OF STRIFE.
California Towns May Lead in Walk
out of Men

San Francisco June 20.-The Chronicle
will say in substance tomorrow:
The crisis has been reached in the
fight between the telegraphers union and
the Western Union and a strike will be
declared in this city tomorrow, unless the
demands of the local union are met by
the company. Sam Small. president or
the Telegraphers union, is in the CITY
and will have personal charge of the fight.
A committee of the union called on Su-
perintendent Frank Jaynes of the Western
Union this afternoon, but carrying the
policy of the company from the very
start he refused to see them as members
of the union. although he was willing to
meet them as employees of the company
To this the committee would not consent,
as the operators are determined to make
the fight on the union question.
A meeting of the union was held in Oak
land tonight at which the committee re-
ported its failure to secure hearing.
A new committee of five was named
which will again call on Mr.. Jaynes tomor
row and demand a hearing. If this is re-
fused a strike will be called as soon as
the leaders can get in touch with the OPP
orators, which will not take long
A Temporary increase.
The demand of the union as presented
TODAY and as il will be pressed again to-
morrow, is for an advance in wages OF %
per cent, which is intended to be tenn
porary and continue only during the
present period of high prices following
the fire. This demand is purely local. af-
fecting only the operators of San Fran
cisco and Oakland.
The fight which will open here tomorrow
is merely the opening skirmsh in the
greater battle which the operators may
wage throughout the country.
What Small Says.
President SmalB said tonight after the
meeting of the union:
"Our plans are fully prepared and we
will carry the fight to the halls of con-
gress before we are through. We do not
intend TO declare a general strike through
out the country. but we will carry on a
guerrilla warfare which will continue
until we secure justice and consideration.
We will call a series of local strikes in
the various cities Of the country that will
paralvze traffic. We intend to continue
this fight until congress meets. when we
propose to place the whole matter in the
hands OF the members.
There is some uncertainty whether or
not the Postal Telegraph company will be
involved in the controversy. The local
sentiment is that it will not be concerned
In the trouble.
It was announced tonight that President
Small stated that at / o'clock tomorrow
the telegraph companies must make def
mite announcement of their decision.

jeCt of Socialism.

Denver, June 20.-The convention of the
Western Federation of Miners spent the
entire forenoon in discussing the proposed
new preamble to the federatiOn's constitu-
ton which commits the organization to
Socialism. The debate was very spirited
at times. No action was taken on the
preamble
follows:
I'VE hold that. there is class struggle
in society and that this struggle is caused
by economic conditions; that the producer
is exploited for the wealth he produces
that the class struggle will continue until
the producer is recognized as the sole
matter of the product: that the working
class must achieve its own emancipation
and that the industrial union of all use
ful workers is the surest and wisest meth
cd of attaining this end.
Therefore. we. the wage slaves en-
plOyed in and among the mines. mills and

The allegations made by a Philadelphia
steamship company respecting the busi-
ness methods Of the Hamburg American
line invoke the authority Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission In a new
field, that of the regulation Of foreign
commerce Of domestic origin. Without
passing judgment on the merits of the
case presented TO the commission, it
may be observed that the means al

Hamburg-American line TO develop a
monopoly Of the carrying trade between
this country and Germany are precisely
those which have been used 10 build up
domestic monOpolies. both in transpor-
tatIon and industry. The rebate system
is the foundation Of the alleged monop-
oly. Only those who ship by prescribed
routes are given favored rates, and
no shipper who uses another route

all. Thus. according to the allegations
made by the complainant company, a

A-Lesson frnm Australia

Fearing that some Of our stand-pat
friends may have overlooked certain
statements made by Mr.. j. Thomas Ford,
formerly Of Sydney, New South Wales, In
an interview published in the hotel col
umn of The Washington Herald yester-
day we are impeIled to invite their par
ticular attention 10 the matter. Giving
reasons for his belief that the six Aus
tralian states should not have federated.
Mr.. Ford said, among other things:
New South Wales was free-trade colony. bu,
after the consolidation had % accept tie high pro
tectiTe Victorian tariff which increased the cost Of
living . per cent % every man, woman, and child
IL the iree-trade colony.
And yet the Hon. Alfred Deakin. premier
Of the commonwealth Of Australia. and
his party are working tooth and toe nail.
as the saying goes. TO increase that Coun-
trys tariff schedules; and the Right Hon.
George H. Reid. leader of the opposition
in the commonwealth parliament. is called
an enemy to the people because he op-
poses that policy. Why, in the face Of
the facts recited by Mr.. Ford?
In this country the worshipers Of the
sacred Dingley law insist that the sched-
Ules fixed by that enactment are in no
wise responsible for the existing out
rageously high prices Of all the necessities
OF life.
Again, why?

Mr. Graves DECLINES 70 Sing.

Col. John Temple Graves. for whom our
heart beats ever more fOndly as the DAYS
go by, is as fun Of surprises as an egg
is Of meat, if not more so. Whether
hurting thunderbolts Of logic or warbling
cadenzas Of joy, he is ever to us the
same attractive personality and unalloyed
delight. Age but augments his ever
handy vocabulary. and custom stales not
single element Of his infinite variety.
OF all strange things in heaven or
earth, however. Horatio never dreamed
that Col. John Temple Graves would de-
cline TO make a speech. And yet Doubt
ing Thomases 10 the contrary notwith-
standing, the colonel has done that very
thing, Refused. declined. turned down
the petition and put it from him, as it
were.
Il appears that the National Associa-
ti0n of UndeTtakers was in session at
Atlanta recently. and, being a cheerful
lot. in spite of their calling. the members
asked the colonel 10 shed the light of his
countenance upon them in convention
assembled, and TO spread about the audi
torum some measure Of his far-famed
eloquence.
In this connection, witness the Atlanta
Constitution:
John Temple Graves refused to make speech
yesterday. Ne the Hon. John Temple Graves was
not i'll, as one would naturally suppose from read.
ing this statement. In fact he was weI and in
Splendid voice as the musical critics say of the
TiTtuos0. But he declined to make a speech.
And, moreover, he declined after Mr..
Barclay, on behalf Of the convention,
had scintillated thus
The undertakcrs are meeting in Atlanta and
they want me TO furnish The Graves"
With all Of our love for Mr.. Graves. we
do not hesitate to criticise him in this
crisis. What right had he, morally at
least. 90 decline to speak in such an ener-
gency? What right has he to decline to
speak in any emergency? What's the use
of having Graveses about if they fail us
in our hours Of need? Mr.. Graves has
TO more right to refuse to pour forth his
ei0qgeEce-Yiewing the matter from a
