PLAN WIRE STRIKE
ON EVE OF CONVENTION
Telegraph Operators Fight for
Locked-Out Men.

Preparation for a nationwide strike
Of commercial telegraphers on the eve
of the Republican convention IN Chi
cago are complete. The strike Will
probably occur if the Western Union
Telegraph Company refuses TO change
its present attitude, according to s. j..
Konenkamp, president of the CONNER
cial Telegraphers' Union. He said yes
terday that the principal cause OF
trouble had been the action OF the tele-
graph company in locking out employees
affiliated with the union.
The general executive board OF the
union held two sessions at the Hotel
Continental yesterday and decided TO
stand behind the eleven members in
Boston who have been locked out since
May 8. A recommendation to that ef-
feet will be made TO the international
convention, which will meet at the Con-
tinental to-day.
Failure on the part Of the Western
Union" said Mr.. Konenksmp. 80 meet
the demands will mean a strike which
will affect more than 10000 teleg-
raphers. 1t would not disturb the rail-
WAYS. Though we have no quarrel
with the Postal Telegraph Company, we
would probably call general strike to

sition leaders concede that confrma-

Another matter which Senate leaders
hope to dispose OF before the conven-

bill, substituted by the House for the
Senate independence measure. Admin
istration leaders are ready 10 accept
the House bill without reference TO the
Philippines committee. and they hope
to force a vote on it, despite some Re
publican opposition, led by Senator Lip
pitt, Of Rhode Island.
As soon as this business Is disposed
Of leaders of both houses will be ready
for the conventions. Agreement has
been reached for the Senate 10 recess
for three days at a time, beginning
next Saturday. In the House plans
have been laid to keep going without
recess, considering undisputed bills.

AN ECHO FROM ATLANTA

In Advocate OF Peace under th.
title "Christianity and The War
y recent writer says:
The Archbishop OF Canterbury
il reported as having recently rec
commended to the women of Eng.
land simultaneously and with one
accord to pray to God TO put an
end to the war. This reminds
one Of the famous experiment
once proposed, whereby at q par
ticular moment every body was to
help in u shout which should be
heard around the world. The
Archbishop either believes that
his recommendation would be efi
cacious, or he Ia indulgiDg IN q
piece OF portentiOus foolishness.
He does not seem to see that if he
Ia sincere in such q belief he i'm.
plicitly holds God to be responsi
ble for the war. II God, at the in
sistance Of given number of
women on their knees, could be
persuaded to end 1t, we are freed
from any predjndice that might ex.
list In our minds against the Serb.
ans, Austria, Germany England
or Russia.
The attitude Of the Clergy al
most universally has been equally
unphilosOphical, not to say irreli-
gious. Priests aud ministers have
been known to preach the gospel
Of hatred from their pulpits. Not
long ago had the privilege of
dining with three distinguished
priests Of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church, or, as they were ex

All three agreed In all solemDity
that 1t was the duty OF their couo-

and put forth all our power to
help crush Germany, for which
they had no words severe enough
to express their execration.
