1ELECRAPHERS
CONTINUE STRIKE
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
SUMMARlLY SUSPENDS
PRESIDENT SMALL.
The Vote in New York was Unani-
nous to Continue the Strike and
President Small was Kissed by
the Operators.

New York, Oct. 14.-The New York
local of the commercial telegraphers'
union at meeting yesterday voted
unanimously to continue the strike
against the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph companies.
The vote was taken upon the sug-
gestion of President Small who in
messages to subordinate officers
pointed out the inability of the gen.
eral assembly further to finance the
strike and recommended that locals
in the various cities vote on the ad-
visibility of returning to work.
The meeting was characterized by
bitter exchanges between Presi-
dent Small and the other speakers.
The latter charged the national leader
with Inconsistency in first claiming
that the strike would be successfully
financed and then admitting that the
general assembly was without funds
and with having conducted the fight
in half hearted, dilatory way.
Small tried to explain his position,
but was frequently interrupted by
hisses. When he suddenly left the
hall in the midst of the speechmaking
cries of 'resign'' followed him.
Tonight Small issued statement
in which he said he was willing to
continue the strike if the men in
sisted.
When the meeting opened President
Small was given the floor said:
Saturday Commissioner Neill in
formed me that President Clowry had
told him that further negotiations
were futile. I believe what they say.
Our funds are quite exhausted. AS
you know, we were unable to make a
payment to you yesterday. There is
no more in sight. These are the
facts; you can do as you will"
Percy Thomas, former national de-
putty president, said that Small had
said when the strike began that he
could raise $4,000, ,oo0 to support it.

ten statement in the case of Common

ord of the federal proceedings against
the oil combine the processes and
stages through which the combine

Standard Oil trust to the present
Standard Oil company of New Jersey.
Out of the maze of figures developed
in voluminous mass from the COM
pany's books, and from testimony
given by Clarence G. Fay, assistant
auditor of the Standard, the govern
ment's counsel says he believes he has
proved the federal allegation that the
Standard is an illegal corporation and
by devious devices has maintained its
entity, and that it is under the same
ownership as when it was formed.

Rock to the Sandy Hook light, the Off.
cial course over which the speed trials
we're made, was four days, 20 hours.
The last days run was apparently the
fastest of the trip, the giant liner hit
ting up her speed to rs knots an hour
over a smooth sea with little wind to
interfere with her.
The Lus'tania's time averages al.
most exactly "a knots an hour for the
entire trip. Her arrival at 1920, or
five minutes earlier than she passed
the lightship would have made her
speed exactly "a knots.

Quoting the federal suit against the
Standard Oil company, Thursday,
when Mr.. Trainor, taking the witness
stand in the oil suit, testified that the
money had never been paid to him
and that he had never heard of the
account
The Southern's books show that un-
signed vouchers we're received for
these loans, and that the money was
never handed back to the company.
Mr.. Trainor said that he was formerly
crude oil purchasing agent for the
Stanard Oil company of New York,
and, as such, purchased all the oil

he acted in similar capacity now for
the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey.

tention to the various loans, amount
ing to over $2O,OOO,000, which were
made by the Southern Pipe Line COM
pany and charged to "P. S. Trainor,"
and asked him to tell all he knew con-
cerning the loans.
II do not know anything about these
loans," answered Mr.. Trainor. II had
an oil account with the Southern COM

gave them any vouchers and never
heard anything about the loans
Mr.. Trainor said that he fixed the
price paid for crude oil after consult

said, and after they were over he
made public the market price of crude

Helena, Mont, Oct. 1.-THE Record

CLEAN COLLARS WILL
ROUT NEGL|GEE SHIRTS
Laundries Reopen Today
and White Linen Will
Be Plentiful

The clean collar and cuff famine from
which San Francisco has been suffering
for the last two months and a half will
come to an end this morning. when the
laundry workers will report back TO
work.
This news will be received with re-
joicing by housewives as well as bach
elors and benedicks. all of whom have
had their troubles since the strike OF
the laundry workers was declared on
April 1. Soft shirts will no longer be
the fashion on the boulevards and the
clothes lines that have been so fantas-
tically decorated in the residence por-
tions of the city lately are not so
likely to break under the weight OF
their Tinsed burdens.
For the last few days the laundry
wagon drivers have been the busiest
men in town. When the news OF the
settlement of the strike was made
known early in the week the drivers
at once hftched UP their teams and be-
gan calling on their old customers
Needless to say. they were all well
coined. and the business they have been
doing since bids fair to stand as a rec
ord in their line for long time to
come.

SHARP CONFLICT OVER
AD0LPH WEBER's ESTATE
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

AUBURN, June 16.-Adolph Weber is
dead, but his memory lives. The bat
tie for the residue of his estate be-
gins tomorrow. Executor +. S. Ste
vens claims the estate to consist of
realty and notes valued at $4,000, while
Mrs. w. p. Scott, an aunt of Weber and
the sole devisee, claims there is also
s11,340 in money belonging to\her. Ste
vens has the money. but. claims that
Weber gave it to him, and on Monday
will further strengthen his contention
by the introduction of an agreement
signed by Mrs. Scott eight months ago,
in which she relinquished all claim to
the money. She has changed her mind,
however, and charges Stevens with in
competency, neglect and fraud The
suit of Fred Rechenmacher for Weber's
home place has not yet been decided.
Weber made a gift deed of this to
Rechenmacher, but Mrs. Scott's attor-
neys claim that there was a considera-
ton, and that consideration was the
ah1davit Rechenmacher made asking
executive clemency from Governor

Man SHOT IN STRIKE
RIOT NAY NOT RECOVER
Bullet Pierces Teamster' S
Body During Battle
Near Carbarns
FIGHT WITH PICKETS
Union Men and Employees OF
United Railroads Tell
Conflicting Tales
FIGHT WITH PIcKETS

The condition of John Ellard, the
young teamster who was shot during
a pitched battle between strike breakers
and union pickets at the carbarns at
Twenty-fourth and Utah streets early
yesterday morning, was reported to be
critical last night Young Ellard lies
on a cot at the city and county hospi-
tai with a bullet hole in his back. The
bullet pierced his lungs and is I'M
bedded somewhere in his body, and MS
home is at 1912 Hampshire street.
where his parents live.
The men in the opposing forces in the
fight tell varying stories as TO the
cts, who occupy several tents opposite
the carbarns where the strike break
ers are housed, claim that they were
seated inside their tents when the men
from the barns swooped down upon
them without warning and fired shots
in the air
The strike breakers declare that they
left the barns to rescue two of their
comrades who, they allege, were being
handled roughly by group OF the
picllets. They deny that they carried
weapons and say that the only shots
fired came from the other side and
from the police who attempted to quel
the fight.
Captain M. o. Anderson of the Mis-
sion station said yesterday that from
what he could gather the fight had
been brought on by a beating which
one OF the carbarn men had received
the night before at the hands of union
sympathizers. He said that the strike
breakers were incensed at the treat
ment their man had received and that
they had then plotted to get revenge
by attacking the union party.
Ellard, according to stories told by
all sides, was an innocent spectator.
He rushed to the scene when the fight
was started, and at the time he was
shot he was standing between two of
his friends, John O'Connor and John
Mcnamara. The trio had been attend
ing a dance at hall in the neighbor-
hood and were attracted to the scene
when the strike breakers left the car
barn.
The police working on the case
swore to warrant for the arrest of
man named Flanagan, who. it was
claimed by the union pickets, led the
strike breakers. When Sergeant A. d.
Layne and posse who were dispatched
from the Mission station when the
trouble broke out arrived at the scene
they entered the carbarns in search
of men carrying concealed weapons.
They found that all the strike break
ers were in their hunks apparently
asleep, and that Flanagan was MISS
ing.
