SMALL WRITES MACKAY
LATEST MOVE N THE TELEG-
RAPHERs' STRIKE.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 26,-President
s. J. Small Of the Commercial Telegra-
piers Union appealed yesterday directly
to Clarence Mackay. head of the Postal
Telegraph Company. Small wrote letter
directed to Offset the one written by
Mackay to the officials OF the Postal COM
pany. in which Mackay commended the
operators who refused to go out and con-
demned the men who struck.
President Mackay and the officials of his
company have enjoyed the esteem of the
telegraphers. who said yesterday that they
hoped that Smalrs exposition of the case.
from the standpoint OF the employees. might
be productive of peace.
A possible step toward a settlement was
made yesterday. when the striking opera
tors appointed a conference committee of
seven members, including President Small.
with view of opening negotiations with
the Western Union and Postal Telegraph
companies. Although the powers of the
committee were not announced following
its appointment. it Is thought the COM
mittee will be clothed with authority to
arrange a basis for the settlement OF the
strike. One of the Instructions of the
board will be to place the demands of
strikers before the heads of the compa-
MES.
The operators declare that the companies
are seriously crippled and must ultimately
yield to the demands of a % per cent in
crease In wages. 1t was conceded generally
that the strike was likely to continue for
several weeks, and the possibility of ex-
tending the strike some was also admitted
Officials of both companies declared yes
terday that they were handling expe-
ditiOusly all the business that came to
them. Both claimed gains in their STATS

When the club had been called to order

quired of Commissioner CrOsier as to the
amount of the funds available for expendi-
ture upon the roads in Prince George coun-
ty. Mr.. Crosier stated that there was at
present about 10000 available from the
general road tax and about 5000 from the
liquor license fund. The club Endorsed the
proposition submitted by Mr. Joseph A.
Blundon at a meeting held at his home in
Riverdale last month. that the county should
be divided into road districts. each to have
a regular force for work upon the roads.
The scheme was commended to the careful
consideration Of the county commissioners.
The inspection committee, composed OF
Messrs. Snowden. Bendz and Blundon. made
a report upon the condition of the hosts
place, which was accepted and fled.
Mr.. Martin Dodge, formerly director of
the good roads division of the United States
Agricultural Department. addressed the
club upon the general subject of good
roads. Among other things he referred to
the fact that land in the vicinity of the
United States Capitol building had a lower
market value than has land In the vicinity
of any other nations capitol. This was due
to the fact that the roads In the vicinity OF
Washington are not good as those sur
rounding other capitals.

Neckties and Whiskers.

The DunkaTds-a religious sect for
which We have much respect-have de-
clared urending hostility to the necktie
by resolving that Il shall be abolished
by them, and that II should. by right
be abolished by all men. Henceforth,
their anti-necktie dogma IS 10 be as fixed
and Interchangeable as the laws Of the
Medes and Persians.
We incline 10 the opinion that the
movement has some meritorious features.
but we believe it is not the abolition OF
neckties the country needs so much as
Il is stern and authoritative regulation
thereof. There is a place for every
necktie, and every necktle should be in
its place-and the place for many Of them
is the waste-basket or the rag-bag. not
about the throat OF mere man, nor exc the

Those who advocate the sweeping de-
struction of the necktie should take note
as they go of the growing hostility to
whiskers throughout the land No more
aggressive are the Dunkards against the
bat-wlng tie than are the women's clubs
against the free and unlimited cultivation
Of whiskers. The edict has gone forth

Minis is one Of a group Of young men in

he has written and spoken with consider
able frankness about the shortcomings Of
the South in educational. political and
literary matters. and he won some ene-

and his work
Therefore what he has 10 say on the
other side Of the question may be regard

what he calls "spread-eagleism" IS pass

speech are falling into dlsrepute. There
has come a demand for precision and
accuracy, instead OF emotionalism and
sensatiOnalism. and he finds that the
ideals Of veracity and naturalism are set
higher. He points out that highly credit
