five-year-old Mary Newlin, who was

TELEGRAP HERS
FRISCO STRIKE
IS UNCHANGED
Union Operators Hold
Conferences to Outline
Future Work.
Both Companies Take
Messages to Deliver,
But Are Behind.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 22.-The
end of the second day of the teIeg-
raphers' strike in this city and Oak
land found little change in the stu
alton. Both telegraph companies
are still accepting business subject
10 indefinite delay" and endeavor-
ing to handle business as best they
can with the small force at work.
At union headquarters in West
Oakland, today was spent in select
ing committees and outlining their
work for the future. President
Small was on both sides of the bay
during the day. comforting with the
local officials. receiving reports, and
the kilograms of encouragement
from all points.
Small Forces in Both Offices.
At the Postal office the force consisted
of General Superintendent L. w. Stor-
TOR, his assistant, J. G. Blake; District
Superintendent Hearn. Chief Electrician
Shaw. Traffic Chief Sway, Chief Oper-
ator Arnberger, and three operators.
The operators are Newt Harrison. an
old-tlmer, who went through the strike
OF sc. and two women, formerly en-
ployed by the company, who had been
recruited from private life.
The Western Union had from twelve
10 fifteen operators working. including
chief operators and officials. According
10 union officials, Western Union di-
vision chiefs joined the strikers today.
Outside Of the telegraph companies
themselves, the most serious effect Of
the strike was that on the local stock
exchanges. where communication with
New York and the Nevada gold camps
was cut of. The business transacted
on the mining exchange board was the
highest in its history, even for a Satur-
day half holiday.
Twenty-four Hours Behind.
Reports received at union headuuar-
ters from Los Angeles state that the
telegraph companies are twenty-four
hours behind on eastbound business and
the delay increasing.
There is talk of Governor Gillette be-
ing brought into the local situation. II
is known that he has been approached
with a view Of combining with Inter
national President Small in a request
for a peace or arbitration conference
with the officials of the Postal and
Western Union.

New York.
1t has recently become apparent
that the Empire State is determined
to have a Presidential candidate of

Hughes is strong. He is strong part

support Of many powerful elements

that the governor and the President

Elements that normally would have no
use for either the President or Hughes
are disposed to and III the governor an
instrument for revenglng themselves
against Mr.. Roosevelt. Whence the
strange spectacle OF Odeu and Harri-

not that they love Hughes more, bur
Roosevelt less.
Aside from all these aspects. Governor
Hughes is strong with the people Of his
State because Of his record. He has
done things. He has made good He
is interesting TO the politicians primarily
because they know his accomplishments

He has become SO strong that il is now

Washington. Feb. s. ~ Mayor
Schmitz and the school board Of san
francisco who were summoned here
to discuss the Japanese school ques-
tion with President Roosevelt, arrived
in Washington at 5;S5 o'clock this
afternoon Their train was twenty
four hours late. The delegation will
be received by the president tomorrow
morning Mayor Schmitz said
I'VE have come to Washington with
a free mind TO discuss the school
question with President Roosevelt.
The mere fact that we have responded
to the presidents invitation is suffi-
cient evidence that we stand ready 10
make concessions If we are convinced
that in so doing the entire country
viii profit by our action, No Califor-
nian is willing TO stand on any tech
nicality that will work to the detri-
ment of the nation, We have not eX-
cluded the japanese children from the
schools of san Francisco, but since
the fire the school board has found Il
necessary to adopt the policy OF seq
regation. not exclusion, In the pri-
mary anu llAfIliithluAf RIfAf AAih iiRFh
The law of California makes the Dues
tion of segregation discretionary with
the school boards In the various towns
/ and cities of the state. We found
that the Japanese were crowding the
white children out Of the schools, and
/ the only course "a take was to take
! advantage OF the state Law and estah-
/ iish Jdpanese schools. and this we did,
That is the whole stqry in nutshell
When asked as to how the Japanese
children could now be admitted to
| the white schools If the delegation
agrees to make the concessions which
the president will ask, Mayor schmilz
reglied:
'That would he simple enough. We
would abolish the Oriental schools,
and then under our law the Japanese
would then be entitled to admission to
/ the white schools
While the Californians profess that
| they are of a free mind" and willing
to make concessions II can be stated
on the highest authority that the dele
cations purpose is to insist that the
president must have direct under
| standing with the Toxic government
i for the exclusion of Japanese coolies
before they will agree to abolish the
Oriental schools Of San Francisco and
admit the Japanese children to the
white schools.
