STRIKE ORDER
IS WITHDRAWN
For the Present the TeIegra-
piers Trouble Will Be Con-
fined to San Francisco.

San Francisco, July president S. J..
Small of the telegraphers' union, it is
stated, has temporarily withdrawn the or
der given the operators in another city,
believed to have been to go on strike
within the next few days. President
Small, it is said has telegTaphed the union
which he had mailed orders to walk out,
to take no action until further advices.
This action, il is believed was taken by
the national president of the telegraph
ers' organization pending the arrival at
Chicago of Labor Commissioner Neill
from Washington, and the outcome of his
efforts there to prevent a general strike.
1t is taken as an indication that despite
the apparent hopeless deadlock between
the telegraph companies and the teleg-
raphers, the chance of compromise of the
local trouble is not entirely dissipated.
Superintendent I. n. Mill. of the West
ern Union, has signified his willingness
to meet the ''eX-emplOyes" of that COM
pany, but only as individuals" This
seems to be a slight concession, but
whether sufficient to open up a way for
negotiations is doubtful
There is no likelihood that the strike
will be extended along the coast" said
President Small.

LONG CRUISE ON THE OCEAN
Big Battleships May Go to the Pa
cifc Coast but Will Not
Remain Long.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, July Am official
statement was made public at the exec
utive office here today regarding the re-
port of a battleship fleet visiting CalifOr-
mia. The statement as given out by Sec
rotary Loeb follows:
There is no intention of sending a fleet
at once to the Pacific. For the last two
years the administration has been per
fecting its plans to arrange for a long
ocean cruise of the battIeShip fleet when
a sufficient number of warshipS are gath
cred. This cruise may be to the Pacific,
but might possibly be only to the Med
iterranean or the South Atlantic. 1t may
possibly take place next winter, but
on the other hand il may not be conven-
lent to arrange for 1t until later. In any
event. after a few months, the fleet will
be brought back together to the Atlantic
coast.
Whether the voyage is made or not
whether the fleet stays n the Atlantic or
goes to the Pacific, will be determined
simply as a matter Of routine in the man
agement and drill of the navy. 1t is now
part of the settled policy of the navy de-
partment in it's effort to keep the navy
up to the highest point of efficiency, al
ways to keep the battleships together
eral squadrOns. and it is desirable that
this fleet should from time to time take
a long voyage.
THE relations between the United
States and all other powers never were
more peaceful and friendly than at the
present time, and if the fleet were sent
to the Pacific the fact would possess no
more Significance than the further fact
that three or four months later il would
be Withdrawn from the Pacific. Both
would merely be part of the ordinary rOu-
tine of the naval administration
