Government Could Properly Take Ac-
tion Through Bureau Of Labor-chi-
cago Union Votes to Support Ma
tionaI ofhcers-vote $1,000 to Strike
Fund.

Oyster Bay, June 17.-President
Roosevelt has referred to Charles
P. Neill, commissioner of labor, with
out comment, the various appeals
which have been made to him by wire
and mail to intervene to prevent the
threatened telegraphers' strike. The
position is taken that no emergency
exists such as obtained at the time the
president interviewed in the anthracite
coal strike, but, on the contrary, the
situation presented is one where &C
ton by the government, If taken at all,
may properly be initiated and directed
by the bureau Of labor, of which Mr..
Neill Is the head.
Attention is called to the fact that
Mr.. Neil has on his own motion acted
with more or less success in several
recent strikes simply by making an in
vestigation and bringing to light the
salient facts in the controversies, his
reports being the basis on which set
Element was later reached. Whether
he will feel justified in pursuing the
same course in the present instance Is
not commented on here, as the presi-
dent has given Mr.. Neill no intimation
of any kind.

first section will then go on a cruise.
The midshipmen who will remain
at the Academy are those who com

class and the new fourth class. These
midshipmen will have the use of the

class will be taken out in detach-
NETS.

provocation had been very great. lie
therefore recommended pardon. to
take effect at once. Boyd will be n
free man tomorrow and will possibly
