STRIKE AUTHORIZED
Executive Committee of Union Does
Not Criticise Small

NEW YORK, June 22.-Deputy Presi-
dent Konenkamp of the telegraphers'
union said today:
The reported interview quoting me
as saying that President Small would
be disciplined by the executive commit
tee as a result of the strike at San
Francisco is absolutely untrue; nor has
any member of the executive board
made such a statement. There will be
a meeting of the board to discuss the
present situation and until then no one
has any authority to say what position
the board will take.
THE strike at San Francisco had
been legally authorized by the board
last Friday before the companies
showed a disposition to accede to any
thing. Since making my official re-
port to President Small 1 have not been
able to get in touch with him and have
nothing but newspaper reports to go
on"
Contrary to expectation, no meeting
of the executive committee of the
telegraphers' union was held tonight.
A number of the members were present
at headquarters in the Astor house,
but the meeting was postponed on ac-
count of the nonarrival of NJ ]. Reidy
of Boston, a member of the committee.
1t was stated that the meeting might
be held tomorrow.
In this city messages from San Fran
cisco districts were somewhat delayed,
but no great inconvenience was suf-
fered. In Chicago the presidents of the
board of trade and the stock exchange
said tonight that the strike on the
coast would have but little effect on
business there, but fruit dealers were
appreh ensive that they would lose
heavily on perishable freight by not
havin photographic connection with the
coast
General Manager Nally of the Postal
company issued the following state
ment:
Il have notified the strikers in San
Francisco that If they do not return to
work on Monday they may consider
their situations filed. We have a num-
and Oakland and we have the usual
Saturday service.
Il can hardly believe that the rank
and file of the telegraphers will ap-
prove of this strike. After the con-
cessions that we recently made the
strike seems i'll advised After the San
Francisco fire the company raised the
wages of the San Francisco telegraph
ers 10 per cent.
The only settlement that could be
made with the strikers would be their
uncondi.; .;onal return to work"
President Clowry of the Western In
ion company refused to make any state
ment- A representative of the company,
however, said:
1T is not true that Colonel Clowry
asked President Small of the teleg-
raphers' union to confer with him and
talked with him over the wire. There
will be no conferences looking to a
settlement or compromise. The telegra-
piers forget how well they were treat
ed after the San Francisco disaster.
Through service with San Francisco has
been secured and one or two wires are
now in use"

Jersey ISLAND TRACT TO
BE FREE OF WATER TODAY
Potatoes, Beans and Onions Will Be
Planted at Once on Famous
Ranch Near Antioch

ANTIOCH, June 22.-After SO days OF
strenuous day and night work with the
best equipped pumping plants on the
river, consisting of one A inch pump,
one % inch, two % inch, three sc inch
and two 10 inch syphons, 45 feet of
flood gates and 20 flood boxes, the
famous and fertile Jersey island tract.
lying directly east of this place, con-
sisting of $3.50 acres, will be clear of
water today and the planting of pota-
toes, beans and onions will at once be
commenced.
Between 500 and TOO acres will be de-
voted to celery beds and the crop will
reach the early fall market. The grow
ing of celery on the river Islands had
before the floods reached vast proper
tions and gave employment to hum
dreds of people Nothing daunted by
their losses, the owners have gone into
the work on a greater scale than ever
and will market larger crop this fall
than was ever before known.
The high prices of potatoes, onions
and beans has been an incentive for
the river farmers to plant thousands
of acres of these vegetables, and every
available tract of land is being culti-
waited.
If the present indications are full
filed the regular river steamers will
be unable to handle the crop this fall,
and with even ordinary prices the ISL
and people will receive more money for
their products than has been realized
in years
