1t used to be said that women could
not be depended upon like men u
work steadily and, consequently ought
not to expect so much pay as men en-
ployed 1T similar work.
While il would be foolish for any
young woman to stay at work when
physically unfit, It is believed that
most women now continue at Their

UNION TELEPHONE OPERATORS
 HERE QUIT WORK YESTERDAY
JUDGE SORRELLS GRANTS APPLICATION FOR RESTRAINING ORDER TO PREVENT INTER-
 FERENCE WITH PLANTS OPERATION.
More Than Half of B Opera tors Walk Out Apparently in Sympathy With Oper rators at Little Rock Crowd Contents Itself With Cheering and
 Jeering, Dispensing at AM.

The awaited walk-out of local tele- phone operators employed by the To- cal branch of the Southwestern Bell Telephone company took place yes terday evening at 5:30 o'clock, when about IA of the girls of one shift quit work. A crowd soon assembled be- fore the telephone buildi.ls, and re- mained there, cheering. jeerin.y, sing ing and talking until about l o'clock this morning, when the last of the strikers and their sympathlzers dis |persed.
 About 10 o'clock last night applica- tion was made by w. L. Jones, dis trict manager of the telephone com pany, represented by Attorney Dan aher & Danaher and Coleman & Can't for writ of injuction, to restrain the strikers and their sympatlizery from interfering with the company's ein- ployes or the operation of the plant.
 A temporary restraining order was issued, and writs immediately serv- cd upon all those named in the com plaint.
 One hundred or more men had as sembled in the courthouse, th,( crowd there being about as large as that be- fore the telephone building. This as- semblage was composed entirely of men, who dispersed shortly after the writs had been served.
 Plant in Operation.
 The exchange continued in opera tion last night, and except for slight delay in the early hours of the eve ming the service was about as usual
 The union leaders claim there are 40 operators in the union. There are about B operators employed at the exchange, and it was said that about IA remained on duty. As near as can be ascertained there i1fA abotit 90 of the operators in the union, and about 23 who are expected to remain at work
 The first intimation that the strike would take place at 5:3O o'clock that reached the police came in a message to Chief of Police Stewart few min utes before that time Chief Stewart dispatched several officers to the scene, but they were not called upon to take action,f the crowd ,contenting itself with cheering, jeering and at taching printed tags to those sympa- thizing with the "union telephone op- erators." 9@

THE COAlE MINERS
 VOTE ID REJECT
 PENALTY CLAUSE
Rejection May Mean Strike or Miners in the Four
 States Affected.

Kansas City, Nov. 14.-Delegates representing the coal miners of Mis- souri, Oklahoma, Kansas and Arkan- sas in convention here tonight, voted to reject the automatic penalty clause insisted on by H. A. Garfield, federal fuel administrator, as a part of their working agreement. The vote was 1855 to 167.
 The rejection of the automatic pen alty clause was taken in many quar. ters tonight to mean that general strikes among the miners of tle four states was not an improbability.
 The automatic penalty clause pro vides for the lining by operators or the miners in the event of a mine shut down. The miners contend that the clause, as written, provides for fines without requiring an investiga- tion to determine responsibility for the tie up. Following the adoption of the resolution the convention adjourn ed until tomorrow morning.
 It was declared tonight that the next step of the miners probably would be outlined at tomorrow's ses- sion. The vote of the Arkansas dis trict was as follows:
 For the resolution 22; against 105.

PRESIDENT WILL
 ENDEAvOR ID
 PREVENT STRIKE
Personal Conference With Railway Men Expected
 to Settle Difference.

Washington, Nov. 14.-Once again President Wilson has undertaken per- sonally to prevent a general railroad strike. He has called the heads of the four great railroad brotherhoods to meet him in conference November p, and will insist that patriotism be put ,ahead of private interests, that there be no attempt to handicap the operation of a vital part of the na- tion's war making machinery.
 The president is confident that noth- ing unpatriotic will be done, but if the necessity arises he is prepared to take the required steps to prevent tie up of the transportation.
 At the time of the threatened strike averted by the eight-hour law last year it was understood that. the gov emment had developed plans for the emergency operation of the railroads if that became necessary. At that time the United States was not at war.
 :, An adjustment at the white house conference next week is hoped for which will dispose of the possibility of strikes at least for the duration of the war.

NO PENALTY CLAUSE NO WAGE INCREASE,
 SAYS GARFIELD

Washington, Nov. Without the penalty clause to guard against strikes or lock-outs the Southwestern wage agreement will not be acceptable to the fuel administration, and the in- crease in the coal prices recently au- thorized by the president will not ap- ply to mines in that section.
 Fuel Administrato3 Garfield declin- ed tonight to comment on the action of the miners, but he has made it clear that if it should result in strike the government will take any necessary steps to prevent the production of coal from being curtailed. Miners in the great central competitive field already have accepted the penalty clause in their wage agreement.

With the American Army in France, Nov. 14.-American infantry exacted a part reevnge for a trench raid dur ing a recent night by ambushing a large German patrol in "No Mans Land," killing or wounding a number of the emmy
 The American patrol, in which ther, were some Frenchmen, arranged the ambuscade near the German lines on a shell-ruined farm. After lying in the, mud all night the patience cf the watchers was rewarded by the sight of large German patrol. It numbered more than double that of the French and Americans. The Germans were permitted to pass. when the Americans and French, on their Hanks, opened a hot fire from shell craters and other shelters where they were secrcted.
 Germans Surprised.
 The Germans were taken complete ly by surprise and bolted, carrying with them their men who had been hit.
 The number of dead and wounded Germans is uncertain, but none of the men in ambush were hit by the bullets, the Germans later sent in from dis tance.
 There were congratulations all around when the Americans and French regained their trenches. < 1T lSniping ActiEe.-.4 s, ----,4ssg., --
 During the last two nights the Ger mans have continuously used machine guns in the direction of the American lines. Sniping is becoming more ac- tive on both sides.
