PACIFIC TELEPHONE
OPERATORS ON STRIKE.

san Francisco May with 400 Of
its operators on strike, the business Of
the Pacific States Telephone company
is today in a seriously crippled condi-
ton Throughout the city the system
is handicapped by the loss of the oper-
ators and on many OF the lines service
has been entirely suspended The conf
pany is making an effort to keep the
main and emergency lines open, and
according to City Manager Phillips, the
work will go on without any atten-
ton being given to the walk-out oth-
er than the rebuilding of efforts 10
secure new operators 10 replace those
who have quit
The strike went into effect at o'clock
this morning, after a session of the
newly formed union, at which the
strike vote was taken. AT the hour of
reporting for work. the members OF
the union visited The Companys sta
lions and sought to induce the hum
bred or more operators who are not IN
the union to desert their posts, There
was no violence on disorder, The union
is maintaining pickets at all the sta
lions.
Chairman Nolan of the Iron Trades
council conference committee said to-
day that no change has occurred IN
the strike of the iron workers ana ma
chinists There Is strong hope OF end
ing the controversy at the conference
between the committee and the Metal
Trades association, which is to be
held at the Union Iron works later
In the day Each side seems disposed
to accept the alternative of arbitra-
ton to settle the strike, the object OF
which is the eight-hour day. The as
sociation's plea is that because of the
competition with eastern plants an
eight-hour day in the local establish
ments will cut profits to a minimum.
In the Garments controversy there is
stil hope of a peaceful settlement
without recourse to n strike. although

chiefly to insufficient nourishmcnt and
