Les Angeles Operators Of
Western Union
Are Out.
COMPANY Is BLAMED
Members OF Union Say Faith
Was Not Kept---Contest May
Involve Other Cities.

Los Angeles, Aug. S.-The strike OF
Western Union telegraph operators
here continues. According to the men
about 90 or 20 operators are out The
company, however, is taking care of
all business offered.
Only One at Work.
Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. S.-Every
operator but one in the Western Union
Offices here walked out yesterday,
transforming the recently made peace
into war.
The strike took officials of the COM
pany here completely by surprise, al
though they received warning Tuesday
in the shape of an ultimatum.
According to the operators. one of
the causes leading up TO the walkOut
was the preference given by company
officials to the word of strike breaker
over that Of d union man.
UItimatum Treated ns Bluff.
1t seems that one of the regular op-
orators had trouble with a strike break
er during the recent strike in San
Francisco. Complaint was lodged by
the strikcbreaker and the case was
taken up this week and the operator
here was discharged He applied for
reinstatement, but his application was
ignored by the manager.
The other operators took up the case
and served an ultimatum on the COM
pany. saying if the discharged man
was not reinstated by O'Clock yester-
day afternoon they would all walk cut.
The manager regarded this as bluff,
but when the time came and no answer
was given they left the keys.
Some of the operators who have
walked out quote this case as typical
of the company's attitude toward the
men since the conclusion of the recent
Eostilities. They declare the company
has failed to live up to its promises
and charge against it i'll particular the
treatment which women operators be
longing to the union have received.

CARPIS CLAIMS AID

REPORTS TO MANUFACTURERS
Trip Down the Mississippi Apparently
Successful in Evolving Plan to
Save Button Industry.

Chicago. Aug. S.-The private life
of the clam has been penetrated. Pry-
ing muckrakers of the governments
bureau of fisheries have dug into the
hidden chapter in the career of the bi-
valves and its early history has been
laid bare with a freedom calculated to
cause a sensation in the wet world. 1t
is the fresh water tribe of clans, of 50
much Importance to the pearl button
industry, about which revelations are
being sought in response to the be-
seedlings of manufacturers of these in
dispensable articles.
1t is the despised German carp, the
bane of the fisherman, who is the
CLAIMS best friend in the early days of
his youth, and the i'll wind for the man
ufacturer which revealed the CLAIMS
history may blow good for the carp,
his savior.
CIa,,r'S Early Habits Revealed.
The National Association of Pearl
Button Manufacturers met i'll Chicago
yesterday at the BTevoort hotel, hold
tain new information on the subject of
the clam. The manufacturers, face to
| face with the fact that cams We're be
coming extinct rapidly, had solicited
The aid of the bureau of fisheries. To
| hear the report of the investigation by
the bureau. the meeting was held yes
| lterday. Two authorities revealed the
| history Of the clam, DR.. Paul Bartsh
of the Smithsonian institution and DR..
| w. C. Curtis of the University of Mis-
souri. They said the German carp,
which preys on other fish and is eX-
terminated whenever found. was the
best friend the clam has.
This statement was brought out when
they explained that when the clam
spawned the spawns attach themselves
to the gills or fins of fish. The manu-
factures asked for the name of the fish
for wandering clam spawn. and that is
where the German earn won its rec
ommendatiOu.
VIII Keep Up the Investigation.
The association appointed commit
| tees to urge the states of Wisconsin
Minnesota. Illinois, Iowa, Indiana. Ken
lucky and Missouri, the states most af
fected, to take up the cultivation Of
clans under proper observance at theil
fish hatcheries, that the relation of the
clam and the carp might be determin
ed accurately.
All of which, according to the pear
button manufacturers, goes to SHOW
that although the clam may be kept a.
close mouthed as the prOverbial clan
Of song and story, a $5.OOO,OOO indus
try was bound to smoke out its life
history.
