TELEPHONE GIRLS
DECLARE THEY WILL
NOT ACCEPT OFFER
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO May 9.-Two of
the sub committees Of the Joint con-
ciliation committee, comprising in its
membership such noted personages as
Archbishop Riordan, Bishop Nichols
and Benjamin Ide Wheeler, reported to-
day that there was possible hope Of
reaching some settlement in the laundry
and telephone strike.
| Opposed to this is the unqualified
declaration of President Scott of the
Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph
company that his corporation would
not under any circumstances recognize
the local union of telephone operators;
that the company is willing and ready
to take back the striking girls as indi-
lviduals, but not as union members. The
| girls on their behalf announce that they
will fight 1t out"
The strike of the iron workers shows
no change in any aspect.
Least of all is there no indication
of peace or of cessation of hositlities so
far as can be learned from authorita-
tive sources in the strike of the union
carmen.
President Cornelius of the union says
he will welcome intervention only upon
the proviso that the United Railroads
recognize the local union. BY interven-
tfon Mr. Cornelius means mediation
upon the basis of the demand by the
men that they be paid SO for an eight
hour day and time and half for over
time.
President Calhoun of the company
remains unshaken in his declared stand
that under no circumstances-the men
having struck after full warning by
him of what the consequences would be
will he now or ever hereafter recog-
nize the existence of the local union. A
high official of the United Railroads
said tonight:
"The United Railroads will not COM
promise. Events must take their
course"

Panic-Stricken
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
MESSINA, Sicily, May 9.-The erup-
tion of Mount Stromboli was more vio-
lent today and the apprehension is
growing. The violence of the present
disturbance is declared to be without
precedent, even the oldest inhabitants
of the Lipari islands not remembering
such threatening condition. Almost all
the people of Stromboli island have
made their escape.
The detonations are heard at all the
other islands of the group with re-
markable distinctness and produce an
effect of terrific roaring. Fears are
held that the entire island of Stromboli
may be engulfed.
At the same time the activity of
Mount Aetna on the eastern coast of
Sicily has increased. The column of
smoke rolling out of the crater serves
to reflect the fire within and the clouds
can be seen from Catania and even
from the straits of Messina
The people living in the vicinity Of
Mount Aetna are panic stricken. They
are flocking to the churches to pray
for intercession and protection.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 9.-Roses and
carnations instead of brickbats and
cobblestones featured todays run OF
two cars of the United Railroads,
manned by twenty strike breakers,
from the car barns at Oak and Brod-
erick streets for distance of three or
four miles through the business and
residence streets of the western addi-
ton.
Stirred to admiration by the courage
of the unarmed strike breakers in op-
Grating the two cars in the mob-crowd-
ed thoroughfares, women all along the
route stood on doorsteps or leaned from
windows and waved handkerchiefs,
clapped their hands, cheered or threw
kisses to the non-unionists as the
police protected cars ran slowly by.
On the return trip, on Sacramento
street near Preside avenue, a young
girl ran out from florists shop and
tossed a handful of bright red, long
stemmed carnations to the platform of
one of the cars.
Lifting their caps and smiling, sew
eral of the men leaned far out and
caught the posies The cars were halted
then while young women brought clus-
ters of carnations and roses from the
shop and offered them to the men.
Soon every strike breaker had a
flower in his coat. The extra ones they
tossed to Assistant President Mullally,
Superintendent Chapman, Chief Sur
geon Coffey, Assistant Purchasing
Agent Finigan and other officials of the
company, who were keeping pace in an
automohile with the cars.
From a bakery shop In the neighbor-
hood a stout woman came hurry1ng
breathlessly, her hands full of small
cakes, hot from the oven. They were
devoured in a twinkling by the uni
formed recipients and she ran back to
her shop and brought more.
Not All Flowers, However
But the afternoons trip was not all
cakes and flowers. A taunting, Jeering,
bowling crowd of more than thousand
strikers and strike sympathizers jog
trotted for blocks along the sidewalks,
reviling the carmen, yelling frenzied
threats to "get them yet" crying "mur-
derers,' "cowards" and "Scabs."
Now and again an unseen arm was
drawn back in the outskirts of the mob
and missile came hurting through the
air to crash against car. At such
times a mounted policeman would
whirl his horse about and dash onto
the crowded sidewalk in the direction
from which the attack came, but the
guilty man or boy hidden in the re-
cesses of the mob escaped detection in
variably. Once, brick, hurled from
a sidewalk cleared the top of car
and struck union man in the chest.
Though no shooting was witnessed
by the police the company officials or
the newspaper men who accompanied
the cars on their run, one of the motor
men declared after the return to the
barn that a shot was fired from the
sidewalk at Devisadero street. between
Golden Gate avenue and McAllister.
In proof of this statement he pointed
to a clean-cut hole in one of the VEN
tilator windows of his car.
The start was made from Oak to
Broderick streets shortly before 2
o'clock, after the police had taken
possession of wagonload of rocks

Long Beach was Shriner city yes
terday. The mobiles went, saw, but
instead of conquering they met with
which caused a panic in the ranks Of
the pilgrims.
And it must have been a real serpent,
too. Long Beach is noted for almost
everything but it's abundance of zem
zem water, and unless the visiting
mobiles discovered a long lost spring
along some desert trail the story that
they fled from a regular summer re-
sort advertising snake must be in some
measure true.
But anyway, Long Beach was a city
of Shriners, and while nature smiled
and flags waved ten thousand wear
ers of the fez enjoyed life at the sea-
/ shore. That the day was one Of the
most enjoyable features of the greatest
conclaye In the history of Shrinerdom
| none denied The day itself was ideal,
clear, sunny and bright, and the enter
tainment furnished the visitors could
not easily have been excelled. From
early morning until late last night the
scimitar, star and crescent were every
where, and those who wore them were
welcome to everything.
Ride in Autos
When the visitors arrived in the
morning, and they began to come in as
early as $3.50 o'clock, they were escorted
to autos and whisked away for rides to
Signal Hill, Knoll park, DEVILS Gate
and the inner harbor. Col. Charles
Heartwell was in charge of this part
of the program and had assurances
Wednesday that 200 automobiles would
be placed at the Shriners' disposal, and
before noon fully as many were in SER
vice.
After the trips through the prettiest
parts of town the Shriners began to
move toward the bath house. The in
stitution was reserved exclusively for
the mobiles, tickets being refused all the
other comers.
R. A. Shifflet of Ia Ga Zig temple
was the first to get out from under his
fez and into the capacious plunge. G.

daughter, Miss Mae, were the next to

Handwriting on the WaII' to be

Belshazzar, during the great feast
to thousand Of his lords 2400 years
ago, saw the handwriting on the
wall" In the midst of his revelry,
surrounded by his princes, his wives
and his convivial associates, he saw
the hand which wrote the mysterious
words, "Mene, Meme, Tekel, Uphar-
sin." His doom was thus proclaimed,
and that night he was slain. He had
been weighed in the balance and
found wanting. The officers OF his
army lured by the fair women Of the
court and the priestesses of the god
dess Ishtan, gave themselves up to
the witchery Of women's smiles,
poured full goblets Of strong drink
and wine down their throats until
plunged into the lethargy which
comes from the surfeit of drink. Then
the soldiers of Cyrus swung wide the
bronze portals through which the
Medeans entered. The climax had
been reached and Belshazzar's day
had ended.
