Jiminez Mex, April 1.-THE federal
defenders of Parral are again within
its adobe walls sustaining the fire of
reinforced rebels.
Throughout yesterday afternoon
there was firing near Baca, between
the rebel rear guard under Major
oueyada and the federals who pur-
that point.
During the night General Salazar's
relnforcements arrived and the fed
erals retired to their base.
Today General Luis Fernandez, an
other rebel leader arrived and pre-
paratons to take the town began in
earnest. Sala2ar embarking on a
fanking movement while Major
Quevada and General Fernandez es-
capped the enemy in front,
General Orozco declared that with
in twenty-four hours the city will be
his.
Until this has been accomplished,
however, IL will be impossible to move
against Torreon.
The region south of Escalon. which
marks the southern limit of rebels
control Is being watched closely by
scouts, but thus far they report see
ing nothing more menacinB than the
enemy's scouts. General Orozco de-
clares that the movement Is that of
General Huerta, the field marshal
of the federal northern army and
when he approaches Eseaioh, the &C.
bells will be ready to meet the attack.

Quevada who was expected and stop
ped the shooting. The latter. how
ever. was still miles away, engaged
in a skirmish of his own.
In another hour the federals sharp
shooters had succeeded in silencing
the rebel artillery, and presently the
retreat which soon became route
began.

the retirement of the other gunners

hurts were only skin deep.
Jack Zimmerman. of El Paso, "A
gunner with Drebin, escaped while
Drebin held back the enemy. Pres
entity the El Pasoan came -.under
fire of the federal flankers. Two
horses which he attempted to use in
his flight. were shot from under him
but he made his escape on foot.
Drebin. the correspondent. and
Ignacio Gutierrez, gunner, by this
time were alone. Gutierrez was shot
through the bridge of the nose. Dire
bin turned to the newspaper man and
asserting that he could hold the posi-
ton for a few more minutes, told
him to run. The latter made dash
of twenty yards, where he found a
horse secreted in gully. He mounted
the animal and started on gallop
down hill, but a bullet found its mark
in the mounts body and the rider
was thrown twenty feet into Il pile
Of rocks. He was stunned for a mo-
ment but regaining his feet, he made
for another horse which was wander
ing riderless some yards away. The
latter fell dead before the fugitive
reporter reached him.
At this point Drebin came up with
his gun and Gutierrez joined them
They We're still under fire but eventu-
ally this ceased. The gun was packed
on a stray horse and the weary ad-
venturers made camp in safety, at
night, twenty-five miles from the
scene of the fight, having been
twenty-five hours without food and
forty hours without sleep.

Get Labor to Operate; Bad
Terms with Regular Unions,


Seattle. April 4.--Dispatches from
British Columbia and Washington
points where the Industrial Workers
of the World have undertaken to tie
up the construction of two great
transcontinental railways and the
revolution" as their leaders call the
strike, is not making progress. The
Grand Trunk Pacific men are Stiil

Canadian Northern has discouraged
the Canadian Northern strikers who
sleep outdoors in blankets. The strik-
ers know that the projectors of these
railroads are determined to build II
certain amount of track this year
Hence the strikers belieye they can
bring the contractors 20 terms.
The Industrial Workers, in spite of
the attempt Of citizens committees 10
drive them out of the Grays Harbor
towns. are still In the field and ag-
gressive. Efforts to induce the Grays
Harbor loggers and the employees OF
a. large mill in Tacoma to strike
have failed. The trouble on the har-
Dor began last winter with the cam
paign of citizens against street speak
ing in Aberdeen. The Industrial
Workers are on bad terms with the
regular trade unions and the social
lists and So far have been unable to
cause strikes i'm any of the large
northwestern cities.

DETERMINATIONS
AGAINST POSTAL
CHARGED
General Manager NalIey Says
Telephone Company Diverts
Messages Intended for His
Telegraph Company,

my Morning J.uirnsi Special Lcased Wire1
New York. April 4--Edward J.
Nalley, vice president and general
manager of the Postal Telegraph and
Gable Company, on being shown the
reply of the New York Telephone
Company TO the charge that 1t was
diverting kilograms from the Postal
Company To The Western Union, said;
The New York Telephone Com
pany says 1t was given the Western
Union the code address telegram.
What right has IL to give the Western
Union the exclusive ownership of that
word? The law compels the telc-
phone company to treat both tele-
graph companies impartially.
IAN of the decisions are TO that ef-
feet Vet the Bell 's'elcphone Com
pany which has the monopoly To di-
vert all the telegraph business II can
collect to the Western Union, even
though the sender of the message
does not designate the Western Union.
The telephone company says the
reason why the Postars business has
been diverted to the Western Union
Is because the telephone operator
made a mistake. | should like to ask
how does II happen that the same
mistake is being made all over the
United States of late? Telegra ms
have been handled by telephone all
these years and the Postal Company
has impartially recovered it's share
until very recently. All of which
bears evidence of an intent and not
Il mistake.
is IL reasonable to suppose that
the telephone girls would divert our
business In such. country wide
fashion unless they had been encour-
aged to do so?
'The trouble is with the new policy
of the telephone company and not
with the telephone girls.
Then the telephone company says
that the Western Union has adver-
tised that its messages will be re-
ceived by telephone.
$50 has our company advertised, but
the people who read our advertise
ments and who attempt to send mes
sages by the Postal lines are given the
Western Union office instead of the
Postal office.
'''rhe whole argument of the tele-
phone company in its answer Is too
flimsy To convince anyone.
II have issued Instructions to our
thirty-six superintendents through
out the United States to make COM
plant to the public service commits
sions in their respective states where
this thing continually occur and we
shall see whether this discrimination
en- he carried on Indefinitely"
