OPERATORS IN WASHINGTON
LIKELY TO STRIKE TODAY
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
WASHINGTON. Aug. 11.-If called upon
to man wires operated by non-union men
at the other end the Washington opera
tors employed by the Western Union and
Postal companies will walk out in body
tomorrow,
This decision was reached at a meeting
of the local union of telegraphers this aft
ernoon. The local union will demand 10
per cent increase, an eight-hour day and
that women operators be paid the same
wage scale paid men,
w. w. Beatty, first vice president of the
International union, today reported to the
local union that he had received instruc-
tions from Wesley Russell, secretary
treasurer of the Comercial Telegraphers
union, who is directing the strike from
Chicago, that the national organization
will support the local union if they strike
when called upon to work with non-union
men.
Mr.. Beatty tonight estimates that when
the word is given tomorrow S5 per cent
of the 215 union operators employed by
the two companies will join the strike.

ton game. We have back Of us public
sentiment. We are fairly treated by the
newspapers. We have thousands or
friends outside the telegraph business
and they will aid u.s. Keep your ear to
the ground and hear something drop"
At the meeting of the telegraphers yes
terday resolutions were adopted to the
effect that men and women should seek
employment in other lines of business.
The resolution adopted by the teleg-
raphers was in part as follows:
Whereas, About one hundred COM
mercial telegraphers are idle In Los
Angeles, not through their own seek
ing but because conditions became
uncomfortable; because of oppression of
officials and tyranny of petty chiefs of
Oakland; because the agreement en-
tered INTO with the Western Union at
Oakland is and has been hourly broken
by the company; because these north
ern officials sought and are seeking to
make Los Angeles telegraphers their
abject slaves; because, through local
officials, the persecution of these San
Francisco men became so calling that
our manhood rebelled. For these rea-
sons and more we left our employ
ment And,
Whereas We have shown patience
and loyalty through long years of con-
inning ana exhaustive service, remain
ing silent though the sliding scale has
cut our wage to a point of existence
only by constant toll; silent though the
cost of living has steadily advanced as
salaries were lowered, silent when
oppression of self respecting men and
women was almost unbearable, and,
Whereas, We are men and women of
mature age sound Judgment, compe-
tent to enter other fields, sober and
Industrious, therefore, be it
Resolved, That we seek employment
in other walks of life, and with this
end in view that we ask employers of
Los Angeles to aid us in earning a
living for our families.
An employment bureau has been estab-
lished at the headquarters. The teleg-
raphers hope by this method to become
self supporting during the trouble Most
of them hope to get positions where they
can remain permanently. Several of the
men have obtained employment and others
have positions in view.

TELEGRAPH OFFICIALS SAY
STRIKE WILL SOON END

Local telegraphers were actively engaged
yesterday afternoon in perfecting their
plans for long siege.
The strike will continue as non-union
contest, but has been sanctioned by the
proper officials of the union.
Strike benefits will be paid to union and
non-union men alike.
At the Western Union Telegraph office
last night Superintendent Lamb was act
ing as traffic chief. He had eleven men
and said there was no delay to any point
on the coast,
Business Not Delayed
I'VE have taken down our coast delay
notice" continued the superintendent.
"These men we have here now are doing
twice as much work as those who went
out. We have $50 men at work at Chicago
and there is no delay at that point.
know very little about the spread of the
trouble but l believe it will soon be
settled and the men will return to work.
We are getting a larger force each day
and soon will be doing business in a
normal way. We are experiencing little
difficulty"
Striker Tells of Trouble
western Union officials send out cheer
full news to the public. They are past
masters of that art" said a member of
the strike committee at headquarters last
night.
''Vhy, during the Oakland strike they
told the newspaper men they were close
up and no delay on business, had plenty
of operators and lots of that sort of con,
and at that time they were sending stacks
of kilograms to Los Angeles Salt Lake
and Portland by special messengers and
by mail.
thousands of kilograms paid for at
full rates were sent by mail A 2-cent
stamp covered many a 81 bill from the
pockets of the dear public.
Talks of Grand Jury

Of two women who were carrying a suit
case full of kilograms to the Oakland
office, where they were copied and sent
out for delivery and collection at full
rates. Oh, the people were easy.
after the earthquake the grand jury
took turn at the investigation of the
suit case telegraph method. Nothing
came of it.
IF they try that again the grand jury
in Los Angeles will be given full pos
session of the facts. The prosecuting
attorney will get at the affair with little
trouble. We will see to that.
Starvelngs Are Brave
superintendent Miller's statement that
we are smarting under defeat was not
borne out by our action of last night, was
it? Did our ultlmatum sound like we
were weaklings?
Far from being whipped, we have not

to be made In the telegraphers' meet
ing when Chairman Ahearn announced
that James p. Archbold, secretary of
the national Civic federation and a
member of the Brotherhood of Painters,
had an important statement to make.
NeiII Starts West
Mr.. Arehbold said that he had re-
ceived a telegram from United States
Labor Commissioner Charles p. Neill;
that he was proceeding to Chicago i'm
mediately at the request of President
Roosevelt to confer with President
Small of the Telegraphers' union, Sam
uel Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, and Ralph M. Eas-
ley, chairman of the executive council
of the national Civic federation to try
to effect, a settlement of the difficulties
now existing between the telegraph
companies and their employees
Mr. Archbold told the meeting that Com
missioner Neill desired that the local
operators make no strike declarations at
this time. Several men were on their feet
in an instant and strong effort was
made to bring the meeting to a vote de-
claring that the time had passed for
parley and that nothing could come from
the Chicago conference. Several of the
older men counseled delay, and in the
heated argument that followed Chairman
Ahern had to rap repeatedly for order.
An amended resolution was finally adopted
that "in view of the statement of Mr..
Archbold immediate action on the ques-
ton of calling strike be deferred and
that the local union notify both telegraph
companies that If they continue trying to
recruit strike breakers in New York sum-
mary action would be taken, and further
that the mediators now on their way to
Chicago be given till Friday noon to con-
duct negotiations. If by that time they
have failed to secure material and favor
able concessions the New York local pres
ident is empowered to "call strike i'm
mediately."
Give Companies Chance
President Ahearn of the local, union
said: K'S
"The officers of the local approve the
action taken today by the meeting. 1t
will show that we are honest in this fight
and we are putting it up to the companies
direct now. It's the last chance that the
companies have before strike"
e. j. Nally, vice president and general
manager of the Postal company, sent out
to all Postal offices the following state
ment:
I'VE shall take final stand in dealing
with the situation. You are authorized to
advise managers at points where strike
conditions prevail to say to our local men
who stand by US in our difficulties that all
operators will be paid their regular
salaries as bonus and their services at
the keys will be computed as extra on a
basis of seven hours per day or night,
and where you deem 1t wise to do so you
may also furnish free meals and lodging
until we return to normal conditions,
when the regular rates will prevail

business men conducted similarly to

Speeches were made by Speaker
Joseph Cannon, Senator Hopkins, Con-

and Burton of Ohio and a number of
others. Congressman Burton spoke
to the toast, 1.-THE Republican Party"
Republicans" he said, must give
early attention to the revision of the
tariff. Yet such revision should not
be made in disregard of the benefits
of protection or its most salutary eff
feet in the development Of our coun-
try. There should be care to prevent
any dislocation of industries, though
this should not be an all-controlling
consideration. do not believe that
the protective tariff walls will be sud:
denly thrown down but l do believe
they will be lowered and that ad-
ditional gateways will be provided
in them SO that there will be freer
access to our markets.

FOR cHlcAGo's RELIEF.
The Marquette Club Has a Plan TO
Bring EmpIoye and Employer
Closer Together.

Chicago, June 21.-A movement to
bring the employer and the employe
closer together has been begun by
the Marquette club at Chicago. Tho
plan Is to model an association fash
Toned after the Industrial association
OF st. Louis, and as beginning
James W. VanCleave OF st. Louis ad-
dressed the members of the club on
Thursday night on the subject.
1T Is the elemental man that we
are trying to reach. This man with
his good impulses, but with his crude
notions Of the relations that the va
rious orders in the community bear
to each other is the man to whom the
socialist, the anarchist and dema-
gogue of all sorts make their appeal.
Chicago has suffered more from the
preachers Of the gospel Of despotism
on the one hand and Of chaos on the
other, than has any other community
on the face of the globe. 1t has
therefore, a powerful incentive to curb
both Of these classes Of mischief
makers by taking away from them
the great army from which they get
recruits"
Mr.. VanCleave then entered upon
some details regarding the wealth Of
the United States and declared that
the concentration of money is speed
ing at a swifter pace than the accu-
mutation. He said:
with us the rich are rapidly get
ting richer and while the very poor
are not getting poorer, the contrast in
this country is more marked than
anywhere else because wealth here
is Haunted in a more vulgar shape
than In any other country.
Let us begin by .Amerlcanizing the
capitalist and the employer. Some OF
the captains of industry, the trust
and the heads Of the great
finaIcial interests of Chicago, New
York, st. Louis and Of the United
States in general, need Americana
ing more than do the workingmen."

Leavenworth. Kan, June 20. =
Secretary Taft was met at the sta
ton here by General Hall, command
ant Of the post, and escorted to the
latter's residence where breakfast
was served. The programme of the
day included general inspection of
the military service school buildings
and the barracks and buildings of
the post, and dress review of all
the troops now assembled here.
When VIM. H. Taft, secretary of war
arrived here Wednesday morning, his
attention was called by an Associat-
ed Press correspondent to a story
printed in the Kansas City papers
from the Washington Times, to the
effect that the secretary may retire
from the presidential race, 1t being
intimated that he is not physically
equipped for a long presidential
campaign, and citing his illness at
st. Paul as giving color to the rumor.
The story bore this caption: Taft
Not To Run"
Secretary Taft declined absolutely
to discuss the matter and dismissed
it by saying, laughingly: "You just
let that question mark stand" The
secretary looked to be in perfect
health and said that he never felt
better in his life. He spent the
greater part Of the day at the fort,
departing late in the afternoon for
Ottawa, Kansas, where he will de-
liver an address at the State Chau-
tauqua assembly.
