DIFFERENT VERSIONS GIVEN

President Small Thinks
Otherwise
BY Assoclated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, .dly 1.-The
strike is over" said Superintendent
Storror of the Postal Telegraph COM
pany today.
"The strike is over" said Manager
O'Brien of the Western Union office in
the Ferry building.
1.-The strike has just begun" said
President Small of the Commercial
Telegraphers' union.
These three laconic statements ade-
quately describe the attitude of the
opposing parties and give hint as to
their future action.
Although the officials of both COM
panies here in San Francisco are but
subordinates and could not of their
own volition take any steps toward a
settlement, it is not thought likely that
any steps will be taken while the local
officials report that they are handling
the business without unreasonable de-
lay
The operators, on the other hand,
state that they will carry on the fight
even though the companies find a man
for every key, and they declare they
are prepared to stay out six months,
if necessary. Their leaders, however,
say that they expect to win in much
less time and President Small yester-

place." but did not explain his re-
mark ,
The first installment of strikebreak
ers to take the places of the telegraph
operators now on strike in this city
reached San Francisco yesterday and
was put to work in the main offices of
the Postal and Western Union today.
The operators are regular employees of
the telegraph companies and have been
drawn from the offices in eastern
cities to fill the vacancies here until
the companies can engage new men.
RENO, July las the result of the
action OF superintendent A. H. May in
dismissing two operators in the Reno
Western Union office last Friday, four
other operators have quit work, and
Manager Brown states that he will not
be surprised If q general walkout re-
suits from the dissatisfaction felt
among the employees in regard to the
strike in San Francisco and the trouble
in Reno. AS a result of the shortage
of men, business with the Salt Lake
office was six hours behind this morn

ton Until Results Are
Seen
Bx Asgociated Press.

BY Associated Press
CHICAGO, July 1.-The 2-cent fare
law went into effect on all railroads
in Illinois today.
The General Passenger association
and the Western Passenger association,
which include nearly all lines in the
state, announced that the rate provided
by the law will be effective on all state
traffic. Interstate rates now in effect,
however, will be maintained under the
federal rate law until new tariff has
been prepared.
The delay and litigation so freely pre-
dicted at the time the law was passed
Will at least be delayed as far as the
railroads are concerned until the new
rate has been tried for several months.
1t is said that the officials of the vari-
Gus roads affected by the law have
agreed to submit to the new rate for
several months and then to carry the
law into the courts with showing OF
deficit. should there be any, that Will
support a plea that the 2-cent rate is
a loss to the roads.

FIRE DELAYS WORK
ON ROOSEVELT DAM
Building SheItering Machinery That
Operates Gable Is Destroyed
and Apparatus Falls
Into Canyon
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
PHOENIX, Ariz., July 1.-Word was
received this evening from Roosevelt
of the burning late Friday afternoon of
the power house belonging to Con-
tractor O'Rourke, who is engaged in
construction of the Roosevelt storage
dam. The loss is estimated at 100000.
The building sheltered the machinery
used in operating the huge cable across
the Salt river canyon, the power being
supplied to this machinery from the
government hydro-electric power house
lower down the river. The burning of
the house released the big cable from
it's moorir s and it fell into the exca-
walton below, together with the huge
cages operated on the cable. Warning
was given and none of the 200 men em-
ployed was injured. The fire was start
ed by the friction of the brake ignit-
ing the oil around the machinery. The
cable was used for carrying rock, ce-
ment and machinery to the dam site,
and the most serious feature is that the
work on the dam will be retarded a
few weeks.

WHITE MAN IS
LYNCHEO BY MOB
confesses That He'Attacked His Step
daughter, and Is Taken from
Jail and Hanged from
Bridge
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
DALTON, Ca, July 1.-"Doc" Posey,
a middle-aged white man, the self-con-
fessed assaulter of his 16-year-old step
daughter, was taken from the county
Jail here early this morning and hanged
to railroad viaduct in the middle of
the city, and his body was found there
at daybreak.
Posey, on the way to his death, ad-
mitted the crime, but said he did not
mean to harm the girl. The crowd,
consisting of twenty-five men, marched
to the jail, covered the officials with
guns and took the prisoner. Upon the
way to the scene of the hanging several
policemen were forced to accompany
the crowd, but not shot was fired.
Posey lived with his family several
miles from town. He brought the girl
here after the charge and accused an
other man of assault. Posey's wife de-
clared the truth, however, and added
that he made an attempt to assault his
victims elder sister about a week ago.
The victim is in serious condition.

least, that is the word received in the
local office from Manager Leonard.
The offices are now over the Citi-
zens' Natinonal bank and they will

planned for some time, but owing to
the heavy business during the first
Of the cotton season, time could not
be found to move the boards. In the
new offices a new toll switch board
with six positions will be put in anc
the local board will be enlarged. Thil

switch board will permit.

SENATOR OWEN GOES AFTER
The SCHOOL MONEY
Five Million Dollars WiI Help to Relieve the
Financial Conditions IN The New
State

Muskogee, Okla, Nov. 26- Senator
Robert l. Owen, after long confer
ence with Governor Haskell over the
telephone last night, left today for
Washington, where he will endeavor
to secure the five million dollars that
the state has to its credit as a school
fund, for deposit in the banks Of the
state.
This fund was set aside BY the
government in lieu Of the public
school land that is usually given to
states for the school fund. In Indian
Territory there was no public land
left. 1t was all allotted to the Indians
and even had it not been, the govern
ment could not have taken it from
the Indian tribes. The money is
now due the state and should be at
once placed to it's credit to do what
the state pIeases.
If Senator Owen can induce the
president and the comptroller Of cur
rency to place the money TO the Gre
dit Of the state Immediately, the gov
erDor will see that it is deposited in
the banks Of the state, with interest
and security, and the banks Of Ok
lahoma would thereby be relived from
the present financial stringency. The
legislature will be in session week
from tomorrow to approve the ac.
tion.

Statistics gathered by the depart-
ment of pfagriculture show that it costs
the central western farmer more to
haul his wheat from his farm to the
nearest railway station than it does to
ship his grain from either Galveston,
New Orleans or New York to Europesn
ports says the Washington correspon
dent OF the Pioneer Press.
An expert who has been cenduct-
ing an investigation as to trasporta-
tion charges took 1929 local shipping
points in the wheat producing section
OF the Central West as a basis. He
found that the average cost to the
farmers for hauling wheat from the
threshing machine to the nearest
shipping station averaged 81 cents a
bushel, while the average ocean freight
rate from the Atlantic and Gulf ports
to Europe was 4.8 cents bushel.
1t is shown also that the railroad
freight rate from the wheat fields to
the seaperts ranged from two to four
times the cost of the wagon haul from
the farm to the railroad. The local
rate from local points to the markets
at Kansas City, Minneapolis and Chi
cago averaged II cents and from Chi
cago and Minneapolis to the Atlantic
ports averaged cents. If shipped di-
rect from local points to seaports the
ran rate averaged only 1875 cents.
