STRIKERS PREPARE FOR SIEGE
Employees of Switch Company Offer to
Return, IT'S Rumored.

Return, IT'S Rumored.
Pittsburg.-Two important develop
ments in the Westinghouse strike sit
uation caused more surprise and ex-
element among the 10000 strikers in
the Turtle Creek valley Saturday than
any time since the strike began three
weeks ago. The first was the an
nouncement that the striking employees
of the Union Switch & Signal COM
pany would return to work provided
that no deputy sheriffs are seen at the
plant.
The second development was the re-
fusal of E. M. Herr, president of the
Westinghouse Electrical Manufacture
ing company, to talk over with c. w.
Mills, one Of the mediators sent here
by Secretary of Labor Wilson. Mills,
1t is said, carried a request from the
strikers which the strikers say would
have had important bearing on a strike
settlement had 1t been received Fol
lowing a conference with Mills later
in the day the strikers announced they
intended to prepare for a long strike
and for more aggressive measures.

On the general question of unionism
Mr.. Wanamaker said he believed labor

that he is seeing better class OF
leaders coming in.
Commissioner Weinstock of Cali.

Il believe that labor and capital

one side, capital there is responsible

none. There you stop. The missing
links l believe to be prejudice and
misunderstanding which must be over.

Zone Of the ways to wipe out this

SUPREME court
Fight EXPECTED
OVER ATTORNEY
Cathcart as incumbent Advises
Clerk to Prepare Ballot With
No Candidates Entered

The territorial supreme court is
expected to be asked to decide the
question whether City and County At
torney John w. Cathcart was reflect
ed at Saturdays primary and to give
q clear Interpretation of the some
what ambiguous phraseology in the
new primary statute. It will be UP
to Attorney Joseph Lightfoot, the De
mocratic aspirant to the city and coun'
ty attorneys office, to begin the legal
proceedings.
Acting under the legal advice OF
Cathcart, who has given 1t In his pre-
sent capacity as incumbent Of the city
and county attorneys office, City and
County Clerk David Kalauokalani will
proceed to prepare Cathcart's certi.
ficate of election and also to arrange
the ballots for the November election,
eliminating the names Of Catheart and
Lightfoot from the list Of candidates.
Attorney Lightfoot must then OBJ
tain an Injunction restraining the
clerk from issuing the certificates Of
election, or instituto mandamus pro-
ceedings compelling him to insert the
names In the November ballot. On
either of these points the case can be
carried to the highest territorial trib,
unal and the desired opinions secured.
Territorial Secretary Thayer sup
ports Lightfoot's contention that
there was no election because Cath
cart did not get clear majority Of
all the votes cast at the primary, even
though he did receive a majority Of
the votes cast for candidates for that
particular office. On the other hand
Attorney General /. NJ Stainback Is
inclined to believe Cathcart was elect.
ed, although admitting, after some In.
that much authority sup
porting each side Of the argument is
to be found among court decisions on
similar questions in the states.
"It seems obvious enough" says the
acknowledgement, that the words ma
jority Of the voters voting of the dis
trict in which he is candidate as
given in the primary law, mean q ma,
jority Of the voters voting for the par
ticular office for which he Is running
and the fact, as Secretary Thayer ad.
mits, that this seems to have been the
intent of the legislators when they
made the statute strengthens the
opinion.
"The weakest thing about it Is that
this was only a primary, for the nom
ination of candidates, leaving some
question whether 1t was not meant
that to be elected the aspirant must
get majority Of all votes Of the vot-
ers registered. If it were final elec-
ton, such as that of next November,
there would be no doubt; the require
nent of a majority of the voters vot-
ng would mean those voting for that
particular office, and not for some
,ther office"
81 shall take no action in the mat |
.er," said Cathcart today. 81 have
advised the city and county clerk as |
20 his course In the matter, and 1t Is |
lp to those who think was not elect |
