TELEGRAPHERS MAY STRIKE
Western Union Refuses to Endorse
Program Drafted BY Taft's War
Labor Board.

New York, June 3.-The National
War Labor Board announced yester-
day that it had found the Western
Union Company unwilling to conform
with the principles of the board in the
matter Of relations between employ
ers and employees, and, therefore, the
board could not mediate the question
of the discharge of more than 500
emplyes of the Western Union Com
pany because they had insisted upon
joining a union. Being without pow
err to take any action on its decision,
the National War Labor Board con-
sidered it advisable to go no further
than to make public it's report on the
results of the deliberations, indicating
therein the public it's report on the
results Of it's refusal of the Western
Union Company to accept proffered
compromise upon which satisfac-
tory settlement might have been
reached.
The attitude of the Western Union
Company stirred labor leaders yester-
day to imm ediate action. Not only
was it announced that confidential in
structions would be sent at once to
telegraphers in 200 cities to prepare
for a general strike on short notice,
but a campaign was begun for imme-
diate legislation that would place the
telegraph lines under Federal control.
s. J. Konenkamp, President of the
Commercial Photographers Union Of
America, left for Washington last
night, stating before his departure
that he was on his way to attend
conference with President Gompers
of the American Federation of Labor
before declaring a strike.
Mr.. Konenkamp said a strike might
be declared against the Postal Tele-
graph and Commercial Gable Com
pany as we'll as the Western Union If
that company showed no more favor

than had been shown by the Western

CUT ON BEER OUTPUT
DIR. Garfield to Have Nice, Quiet, Little
Chat With Manufacturers Who
Are All at Sea-

New York, June 3.-Search your
soul this beautiful June morning and
ask yourself honestly, now, which
would you rather have, a shoveful
of coal Or a stein of cold, foanning
lager beer? Would you rather warm
your toes next winter or quench
your thirst today. The men of the
fuel administration in Washington,
headed by DR.. Garfield, evidently
don't believe you can have both, for
they are after the brewers and are
preparing to make them cut the out
put of beer this summer in the inter
ests of warmer flats next winter.
A Washington despatch announces,
that representatives of the brewery
interests will be called for conference
with the fuel administration within
the next few weeks to discuss the
limits of beer production in the
United States for the year beginning
June so. The brewing was cultailed
thirty per cent on April l by mutual
agreement, and the fuel adninistra-
ton says that the consequent saving
Of coal was considerable" whatever
that may mean. They also believe
that even more than considerable
can be effected after June 80.
~ don't know what they are going
to do" said Colonel Jacob Rupp ert
yesterday, speaking for the New
York brewers. 'None of us knows
what is going to be done. We cut
production thirty per cent on April /,
and now the people in Washington
want to make some other arrange
ment, but what it is 7 have no idea.
None Of the brewers knows anything
more about it than I do, and I know
nothing at all"
Does it mean that we are to have
less and less beer -
1T looks that way, but I really
don't know. We are all at sea about
what is going to be done. They want
to save coal: we want to make beer.
The people want coal and they want
beer, too. How the matter will be
arranged finally we don't know"

did as civilians The wool clothing

years before.
That we might have the benefit of
the good wool in the o.d garments
Miss Wilkerson explained how tc
renovate and remodel garments. The
first thing in remodelng should be the
cleansing; dry cleaning or washing in
soap and water are satisfactory, de
pending upon the garment, Faded
garments should be dyed and al
