A New England Conflict.

IASOo bSlOLO IllS OtllCl oLi bS t. N
of the whites and Indians for the
possession of New England, a
fiercer struggle for dominion was
waged there between the ice and
the sea. Huge glaciers, thous-
ands of feet deep and hundreds
of miles wide, came down to New
England from distant Labrador.
For thousands Of years struggle
ragged between the sea and the
ice. First the ice was victor; it
pushed back the sea for scores of
miles. Then the sun joined issue
and the ice retreated before it's
power, not steadily but with halts
and with spurts of new vigor and |
stronger advance. One of these
halts, before the final wane of the
power of the ice, is recorded in a
peculiar ridge known as the
Newington moraine, which runs
through southern Maine and New
Hampshire into Massachusetts.
This moraine is composed of
gravel, sand, and stones secured
by the ice from lands far and
near and borne within it to its
edges, where these fragments Of
rock were melted from it's grasp
and fell into the sea, to be pound
ed and shifted by waves and cur
rents and strewn over the shores
and the shadows.
Then the ice melted and with
drew, other great forces of nature
entered the melee and the crust
of the earth rose 100 feet or more.
So the fragments of rocks that
had been piled in front of the ice
were lifted from the sea and now
appear as long ridge, the sand
and gravel of the sea floor be-
coming sandy uplands. On the
dry, smooth tops of these uplands
farms were cleared and villages
were built, the early settlers
choosing to cultivate their san6,
soil srathert han to labor at
clearing countless boulders from
the richer hills on the west or at
painfully tilling the ledgy ground
on the east.
Health came to the jewellers on
this dry and well-drained ridge,
and now visitors by thousands 90
there in summer to gain fresh
vigor. The most modern need
of all, the need of fine materia
for making highways, is met by
the gravels of these ancient de
posts of the ice and the sea.

At Knox's no meat was on

the bill, but admitted that Sc

Muehlenbruch's bill of fare

Reports as to the demand for
meat varied. At the Lotus. one

wanted meat he would go where
he could get II, and that he
didn't care what the govern
ment or anybody else said.

complaints on the part of some
patrons.

meat" said tht man behind the
counter at the Purity. II guess

Muehlenbruch said 1t was too
early in the day to know what
the demand for meat had been.
In the Northern Pacific .din-

merchants lunch consisted Of
head lettuce, baked salmon with

MEDiATORS
AT MEETING

On authority vested in them by
Assistant Secretary of Labor
Kerwin, Henry A. White and e. c..
Snyder of Seattle appeared at the
! Tacoma telephone strike confer
ence Monday night and Tuesday
morning in the role of. federal
mediators. They made addresses
to the delegates Monday night, but
were given cool reception.
Both men admitted to the con-
ference that they had talked with
local heads Of the Pacific Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co. and had
been unable to obtain any conces-
sions regarding the strike. They
offered to do anything they could
to bring about mediation, but
sssare informed that the strikers
here would rather take up their
differences direct with the COM

IGNORE
FRISCO:
STRIKE

After hearing a detailed report
from w. F. Lelaney, Washington's
representative at the recent tele-
phone strike conference in San
Francisco, 28 telephone operators
and linemen from Washington and
Oregon decided in Tacoma at noon
Tuesday to continue their own
strike independent of action of
the rest of the union.
A strike committee, composed
of one delegate from each city in
the two states, will meet Wednes-
day in Seattle, and make plans
for carrying on a concerted strike
in the northwest. Negotiations
with the telephone company for
acceptance Of the operators and
linemen's demands will be con-
Quoted here instead of in San
Francisco.
If California unions want to
show their good faith by abiding
by the recent strike vote of the
Pacific coast council, they must
show it at once by calling a gem
eral strike in their state, the Ia
coma conference decided. Other
wise, the council will be split at
the Oregon line, and the unions
of these two states will conduct
their own Independent negctia-
tons for a settlement of the
strike.
Delegates Ordered Home.
Delegates to the California
conference from the northwest
were ordered home Monday night,
after the conference committee
here had decided tentatively to
give up the effort to settle the
strike at San Francisco.
Delaney, who arrived in Taco
ma Tuesday at a. m, told the
delegates here that they were
standing on their legal rights by
going on strike, even tho the Cali
fornia unions had been hesitant
upon acting after voting for the
walkout.
1.-THE conference is now more
sure than ever that it has acted
fairly and squarely by going on
strike here" said Delaney afterl
the Tuesday morning conference.
"The telephone company is op-
posed to recognition of the girls
union purely from monetary
standpoint. They maintain that
union of telephone girls will
cripple the service. But | know
positively that they are opposed
to paying higher wages to the
girls.
Company Is Scored.
THE government is exasperated
because the telephone company
has utterly gone back on its word
to government mediators.
II was in an adjoining room
-when Mortimer Fleischacker, the
former federal mediator, told
Mai. Fullerton, general manager
Of the COMPANY at San Francisco,
that he was id traitor to
his country for having violated
his promise to federal representa-
tives.''
Idaho and Montana will not be
taken into the new Northwest
council, 1t was decided.

Cadorna's First Line
Is Pierced Already

UNITED Press Leased Wire.)
LONDON, Nov. 6.-Gen.
CaslOrna's first line of defense
has been penetrated and to-
day masses of Austrian troops
are being concentrated for
drive thru the breach.
Rome dispatches today said
great forces of Austrians were be-
ing held five miles distant from
the Tagliamento and Just below
the point north of Pinzano where
the German-Austrian troops sue
ceeded in forcing their way across
the river.
Special dispatches from the
front today emphasized that the
Tagliamento was far from being
Cadorna's last stand line.
1t was prepared, according to
these dispatches, as the preiimin-
airy first defense line. As that, it
was declared. the Tagliamento had
served its purpose of slowing up
and temporarily stopping the great
drive, enabling the Italians to con-
centrate its preparations for the
line further back, presumably on
the Piave river.
1t is now largely race between
the two sides in the bringing -
of heavy artillery. In this the
italians have the advantage of a
perfectly organized and co-ordinat-
ed transport system.
Even tho the German-Austrian
forces have apparently made a
breach In the Italian defense line,
dispatches indicate they have fall
ed so far to widen that aperture.
The Italians, awake to the posi-
|bilitfes Of a thanking movement at
thiss point of penetration have
seemingly massed determined
forces there.

TheOld Wall of
Poverty Won't
Go, Mr.. Bean

m The building of three miles of track between
vi Camp Murray and Camp Lewis is all that
stands between the Tacoma Railway Power
Co. and patriotic service.
Three miles of track over the easiest sort Of
land imaginable for construction purposes. Yet
the T. r. & P. hens and haws, sits back and
folds it's hands!
Its turning the Camp Lewis soldiers down. It
is turning Tacoma down. 1t is turning Uncle
Sam down.
For years now the T. r. & P. Co. has been
weeping tears before the public, wailing that it
can't make dividends on five-cent fare that it
is abused and poverty-strcken
Yet now, when it has the chance to rake in
the coin by the annful with very little bother,
it is making excuses and offering reasons why it
should not do so.
m For these three miles, outside the city limits,
VI it could charge any fare within reason, and it's
cars would be packed. The cost of construc-
ton would be comparatively negligible.
Many reasons and excuses for not laying these
rails have been given by the T. r. & P. Co.
that street car company could not hope to
handle the thousands of soldiers on leave twice
a week; that it should be left to the railroads;
that there aren't enough street cars; that the
camp may not be permanent, and many Others
The great mob of Sammies strug out in long
line Saturday, waiting to find some means Of
transportation to Tacoma, gave the lie to every
one of these excuses.
The company has said 1t would cost at least
$4,000 to construct the three miles of car
line. Transportation experts not connected with
the company say it ought not to cost more than
$4,000.
m But even, taking the company at it's word, to
III make seven per cent on its investment it would
only have to rake in $lO,500 annually along the
three miles.
And thousands of soldiers, and wives and
sweethearts of soldiers standing in line every
day, waiting to get the chance to ride!
It looks suspiciously as if the Stone & Web
ster Co. didn't want to make money Just now
if it preferred to wall it's poverty until it could
gain its long desiredend of boosting fares inside
the city.
