Western Union Employees Are
Called Upon to Quit Their
Posts.
AFFECTS $4,000 men
Grievances Are Said to Be Locking
Out of Union Men and Opposition
of Company to photographers Or

Chicago, July IA cal for strike
of members of the Commercial Tele-
graphers Union of American empoyed
by the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany, effective at a. m. eastern time
oMnday, July 8, has been issued by
Sylvester J. Konenkamp, president OF
the union.
The announcement declared that
the grievances to be adjusted We're
the reinstatement of union men who
are alleged to have been locked out
by the company and to enforce the
right of the men to organize.
Announcement Published.
The announcement in part follows:
1.-THE strike against the Western
Mon Telegraph company will be eff
fective at a. IN. eastern time, and
at the corresponding hour of a.
m Central time, ETC., Monday, July
S. Official announcement of the time
has been sent to the order of Rail-
road Photographers and the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Electrical work
ers for their information and guidance.
"The grievances to be adjusted are
those set forth in President Wilson'S
letter to the Western Union Telegraph
company, as: Cd The reinstatement
of over 500 Western Union employees
locked out contrary to the terms of
his proclamation of April s, 1918. and
GU To enforce the decision of the
National War Labor board, dated
June /, 1918. In this letter to the
Western Union, President Wilson
asked officials of that company to CO.
operate with him by accepting the
Labor boards decision. This the COM
pany declined. to do. Similar letters
addressed to the Postal Telegraph
company and to your union brought
forth an expression or their willing
ness to comply with his request.
To Save Organization.
"The strike against. the Western
Union alone is necessary because of
that company's determination to de-
stroy our organization. AS Americans
we have no desire to be subjects Of
tyranny and this strike will be justi-
fled to the boys at the front because
of it's purpose. 1t is the last resort
to preserve our organization from an
nihilatiom"
President Konenkamp said he ex-
pected 5000 of the 10000 commercial
telegraphers to ouit.\ E. ]. Thomas,
chairman of the railroad telegraphers'

men would be affected. The Interna-
tiona1 Brotherhood of Electrical

CREED ON LARGE SCALE
Federal Trade Commission Inves.
tigates War Profiteering.
Report to Senate Accuses Flour Mill
lers and Meat Packers of
Excessive Charging.

Washin gton, July 1.-The Federal
trade commission, as the result OF
an exhaustive investigation, reported
to the Senate that profiteering on a
tremendous scale in practically all
the basic commodities of life was
prevalent.
"Inordinate greed and bare-faced
fraud" as we'll as "war pressure for
heavy production" the commission
reported as the causes.
Reappraisements of properties were
made by the great concerns, when it
became evident that the government
was about to fix prices on basis of
return on investment, the report says,
and salaries, allowances and expenses
show increased cost of conducting
business.
MiIers and Packers Scored.
The outstanding feature Of it's in
vcstigation, the commission reported,
was the evidence of a tendency to
increase and maintain prices against
the forces of competition.
Of all the big profits disclosed by
the investigation, the report says, the
profits of the meat packers and those
allied with them and of the flour mill
ers stand foremost, despite the fixing
of prices by the government.
Manipulations of the market by the
five great packers-Armour, Swift,
Morris, Wilson and Cudahy-the COM
mission asserts, embrace every device
that is useful to them without regard
to law.
The report charges that the five
concerns have monopolistic control Of
the meat industry and 'are reaching
for like domination in other products"
During 1915, 1916 and 1917, the re-
port says, these companies pocket
ed" $140,G00,000.

Army Bill Carrying Over Twelve
Billion Dollars Is Passed
BY Senate.
ACTION IS UNANIMOUS
Measure Gives President Wilson Un-
limited Authority to Increase the
Army by Further Draft Calls
So AS to Insure Success.

Washington, July 1.-The Senate
has passed the army appropriation
bill, carrying more than $4,000, 900. :
900 for the prosecution of the war and
comforting authority on the president
to raise as large an army as may be
necessary to insure final victory.
There was not an opposing vote.
The bill had been before the Senate
almost continuously for five days.
Russian Legion Authorized.
An important amendment added to
the bill authorized the President to
raise a Russian legion in the United
States to be composed of friendly
aliens of that nationality.
AS the amendment was originally
presented by Senator King of Utah,
it proposed the raising of this legion
for service only in Russia, eihter in
dependently or with any American
troops that might be sent there. But
the provision limiting the field of
service of this proposed mission to
Russia was withdrawn by its author
after objection by Senator McCumber
of North Dakota
Specific Draft Defeated.
None of the appropriations for the
army's part in the war for the fiscal
year. beginning July 1, was reduced
by the Senate. Instead it increased
many items, approved without change
the House clause clothing the Presi-
dent with unlimited authority to in
crease the army by further draft
calls and added scores of important
legislative riders.
A futile effort was made by Senat-
ors DESTROYS of specifically ordering
an army increase. An amendment by
Senator McCumber of North Dakota,
proposing to direct" the President to
enlarge the army to 100000 enlisted
men as speedily as equipment and
clothing could be obtained, was re-
jected, IS to 10, and an amendment
by Senator Fall of New Mexico, pro-
posing an increase of 100000 men
went out viva voce.
Many senators, however, fearing
this action, and the rejection of the
Fall amendment to extend the draft
age limits TO 20 and 40 years would be
misinterpreted, declared in voting
they were only temporarily postponing
action in accord with the War de-
partment's request for two or three
months time to submit the enlarged
program.

time made public letter to the Fed
,eral Trade commission recommending
that news print paper prices recently
fixed be reconsidered to determine
whether there should be further III.

TO CAMOUFLAGE A HOME
Just a Few Simple Suggestions That
May or May Not Be Exactly
Followed.

Hang the crayOn portrait Of Aunt
Anastasia over the bad place in the
living room wall paper
Back the sideboard up against the
place where the wainscoting was
blistered during a chatting dish party
given by your predecessors.
BY keeping the player-piano going
you can easily overcome the banging
of the faulty radiator In the living
room.
The temperature may be made agree
able by constant exercise with wall
weights, dumb bells and rowing ma
chimes. On heatless days you can thus
fool your landlord and yourself at the
same time.
Place a large Japanese umbrella up
against the ceiling In the library
where the radiator upstairs has leaked
through.
Where you have too many pictures,
hang them one. over the other, the pic
ture of your relatives on the bottom
and those of your wifes relatives on
top.
Hang a towel rack over the place
where the genuine marble has peeled
off the bathroom wall.-Richmond

CaptuTe Sass0 RoSSo and Monte

Hungarians.
HOLD new POSITIONS
Assault on Mountain Front Results IN
General Diaz Gaining Strong Po-
sitioss ar Vital Points and Also
Hampers Enemy Plans.

London. July 1.-The Italians, II
an attack on the Austro-Hungarian
lines on the Asiago plateau, nave
captured Monte di Val Bella, taking
500 prisone rs, and are holding their
new positions against repeated en-
envy counter tnrusts.
The French in an attack over a
front Of nearly two miles south OF
the Ourcq and north of the little
Clignon river, penetrated the German
lines for nearly half mile, taking
the advantageous crest between the
villages of Mosloy and Passy-en'
ValOis
The sudden turn from the defencive
to the offensive by the Italians came
as a surprise to the Allied world, for
it had been believed that General
Diaz would be content to hold his
lines in the mountains against a
great new offensive, intended by the
Austrians and Germans to take away
the sting of defeat of the Austrians
along the Pave river two weeks agoe.
italians Capture Sasso Rosso.
Nor was the Italian attack limited
to the positions on Monte di Val Bel
la. Farther east, on the Brenta river,
they captured the height of Sasso
Rosso, just north of the village of
Valstagna.
These two actions may explain the
failure of the Italians to pursue the
Austrians across the Piave when, on
June %, the enemy fed from the west
bank whit haste that indicated
something of decentralization.
General Diaz probably has executed
the heaviest enemy blow to be
launched along the mountain front,
which is the key to the whole Italian
kituation. In attacking there himself
> he has carried the fight to the foe,
gained strong positions at vital points
tionsmade by the enemy for an Of
fensive in that quarter.
The French are continuing their
"nibbling" tactics northward from the
Marine
British RepuIse Attack.
The BRUSH nave repulsed an en-
envy assault in the neighborhood of
Merris, near where the Germans
were driven back east of Nieppe for
est. The British official statement
mentions heavy German artillery fire
before Amiens, near Albert, north of
the Scarpe, near Arras, and in the
region Of Festubert, northwest Of
Lens.
The official statement issued at
Berlin says artillery firing has increas-
ed between the User and the Marne,
which includes virtually all of the
active battle zone.
In the air, too the Teutons suffered
telling reverses. Between them. the
British and French put 33 German
airplanes out of commission on the
western front Allied f1iers also
scored important successes in deg
tructive raids over and behind the
German lines.
