Then the young woman bought

herself. The Fels-Naptha took them
out, entirely: She is wearing the coat.
This actual occurrence illustrates that
Fels-Naptha will clean anything that is
cleansable. 1t will take out grease spots
from wraps, mems clothes, cloth dresses,
rugs, curtains, draperies, without injuring
the fabric in the slightest. - -.
1t does this by loosening the dirt and
dissolving it into tiny particles that can

In all kinds of cleaning, Fels-Naptha

The radicals had their innings at the
session last evening after a lively discus

sion, which prevailed. II Is said that the
local injunctions against the carriage and
wagon workers and the journey7nan bak-
ers received the attention OF those who
desired to go on record as being favor
able to continue the fight regardless OF
the courts orders. The exclusion of rep

Of the sessions OF the G. l. A. is said to
be resented by many delegates. who be-
feve that these sessions should be open

from Quick ordering the operators tt
refuse Western Union business was a
fake
The Western Union officials in this
city today received the following mes
sage from the general superintendent in
San Francisco;
about 50 per cent Of our men struck
in New York. We have ample force to-
day to move business without delay.
Less than rs per cent OF the men are out

NEW YORK, August l3.-The teleg'

The union operators of the Western
Union and the Postal Telegraph and
Cable Company were out all day yes
terday and the indications are that they
will stand by the striking operators on
both systems in various cities of the
United States. Prospects for settle
ment of the local strike are remote at
present, but it is believed the situation
will resume its former condition about
the middle of next week,
All the operators are out. There are
three Of them. Two are from the West
ern Union and one from the Postal Tele-
graph. But, the managers of both local
offices, being old operators themselves,
they are conducting their usual business
under conditions which robs them Of
considerable sleep.
"Yes, we have two men out" remarked
Manager G. w. Lamar, Of the Western
Union, humorously, on being asked re-
garding the situation. II am taking
care of all the business that comes
through the office, which is a little bet
ter than half the normal. My hours are
from I a. m. to a. m. the following
morning. l will manage to pull through
all right, however, although this does
not give me much of chance for sleep.
We have been in connection with Port.
land all day,
while the men did not receive any
notice from the union to walk out, they
have left the situation entirely to me.
The night operator was ordered to take
the place of striking operator in Port
land or be discharged, so he decided to
resign at this end While the day man
is member of the union, he is On the
pay roll of the Office as clerk. He was
not a full-fedged operator and there
was no need for him to quit, He decided
to throw in his weight in favor of the

strike, however. and that left me here
alone.
"The settlement of the strike, so far
as | know, will not be before the first
or middle of next week. President Small,
Of the G. 7. o., is due in Chicago on
Thursday night While there he will
hold a conference with his subordinates
and United States Commissioner of
Labor Neil. 1t is not probable that this
meeting will cause settlement and
Small will have to go to New York to
the head offices of both companies re-
garding settlement.
This is about the program in sight so
far as can figure and the meeting in
New York cannot take place until the
first of next week. Allowing day or
two for conferences this will place
settlement of the situation for the mid
die of next week at the latest. If there
is a settlement before that time it will be
because the officials of the company have
decided to change their views because of
the present tie-up of affairs"
Manager Charles Humphreys of the
Postal, stated that his one operator had
walked out in sympathy with the other
strikers in the cities. He stated that
the local office had been in steady COM
munieation with Portland throughout
the day and night and that he was able
to handle all the business of the office.
My hours are from a. m. to 10
p. M" he asserted, "and while this makes
the day quite long, my troubles might
be worse. The business of the office dur
ing the day has been good, and I have
had no trouble keeping in touch with
Portland, the connecting point with the
outside. There is no telling how long
the strike will last, but settlement of
some kind will be made pretty soon."
The Western Union. which handles the
Associated Press dispatches, received
about 500 words from different parts of
the United States yesterday. A little
more than that amount was received
from the outside world during the night

Western Union office was the filing Of
messages for transmission 70 Lewiston,
Idaho, by the Associated Press about
two hours after its own operators quit
service. The men to whom the messages
were distributed informed the chief they
would leave their posts before they
would send them. President Brsnin Of
the union heard of the trouble, and on
going to tho office found the strike SEN
timent 80 strong he gave the word and
the 81 union men walked out. The
strikers marched to the Office OF the
Postal where they were Joined by the
two night operators, Night Chief Connell
following as soon as he was relieved by
Day Chief Durkee.
The strikers had men picketed in front
Of the Western Union Office at Third
and Stark this morning as did the mes
senger boys who walked out last night.
Crowds congregated at times to look in.
to the interior Of the Office, but a pas
sageway was kept cleared by Policemen
Ed Burke and 0gg, who were detailed
to the scene by Sergeant Baty. There
was no offer Of violence to anybody
however, and all the strikers say that
in no instance viii they counteilance
anything Of the kind.
In front Of the Postal Office on Thirt
near Washington street, nothing unusua
was witnessed. No pickets had beer
placed there up to an early hour thii
Afternoon, but it was asserted that two
or three men will be assigned to picket
duty there.

reports that excellent progress Is being
mado in preparing for the various con-
tssts. Keen competition IL being aroused
among local men who are taking an ae'
tive interest In the land and water
races
Tho Astoria Rowing Association has
been formed ms a permanent organira-
tion for the iurthering OF shell racing
in this city. Alexander jackson has been
elected president; Il, Rosenberg secrc'
tary and Charles Anct treasurer OF the
association, with large membership.
For the contests In the coming Re-
gatta, A. Logan win be captain Of the
four Dared crew OF the East End, and
o. Warkla is captain Of the crew in
the West End. The two captains have
picked out their crews and have made q
selection OF the men TO represent them
In tho single scull races.
Boats have been secured from local
people and from Portland and they are
being put In shape for practice, which
will commence before the end Of the
week, Mr., Barry believes that some
champion oarsmen will be produced
among the local men before the end OF
the season and during the Regatta.
Prizes are being given by local mer.
chants and business houses for various
races among the fishermen. The Linen
Thread Company of this city has pre-
scented 4s pounds of fine salmon twine
for competition among the fish boats
and others are figuring on giving prizes
OF q like nature.
The Retail Clerks Association has Of.
fered $40 toward defraying the expenses
of the celebration and will take an active
part in the proceedings SO that there
may be united efforts for success. The
tug.o-war teams are also beginning to
practice.
Five captains Of the six, representing
as many teams and nationalities, confer
red with Mr. Barry yesterday over their
plans and informed him that the teams
were already getting in shape for the
international contests to be held in this
city. This feature of the sports bids
fair to be OF more than ordinary interest
because OF tho fact that some OF the
strongest and hardest men of the coast
are among the fishermen in Astoria.
Giants OF strength and endurance are
being picked out by the rival teams the
members OF which feel that it Is up TO
them to prove to the public which nation
produces the strongest and hardest men.
The rivalry growing in these contests
will make them of intense interest to
their various partisans and will cause
no little excitement.
The members Of the Chamber Of Com.
meroe who have the various depart
ments Of the Regatta and County Fair
in charge are working hard to make the
event the greatest that has ever been
held in Astoria. That their efforts will
be met with success is very evident from

Determination is the keynote Of the
