TELEGRAPHERS TO
POSTPONE STRIKE
AWAIT REPORT OF THE
WAR LABOR BOARD.
Western Union Discharges Four Men
in Denver and Denies Right Of
Employees to Organize Into
Trade Unions.

A dispatch from Washington says
that hearings were held there Wednes-
day by the war labor board on the
complaint of the Commercial Telegra-
pliers Union that its members are be-
ing discharged by the Western Union
and Postal companies because of their
union affiliation and in violation of the
war labor agreement. The case was
taken under advisement.
S. J. Konenkamp, president of the
operators union, said that no strike
would be called before the decision of
the board was reached.
In Denver the Western Union Com
pany has discharged four men for
joining the local union of commercial
telegraph operators. Their names are
+. n. Nelms, Harold II. Grabow, n.
A. Begley and C. p. Garry. The Pos
tai Company has discharged no en-
ployes in this city. tho practically all
are said to have joined the union.
There is law on the Colorado
statute books prohibiting discharge of
employees for joining labor union.
w. l.. Morrissey, state labor commits
sioner, is investigating complaints of
violations filed with him by the local
Commercial Telegraphers Union.
There is n belief that the telegraph
companies of America are trying TO
force the government to take them
over, and to operate them, as is now
being done with the railroads. Local
telegraphers, members of the union
which has just recently come out Of
its shell and announced itself, think
that such purpose may be behind
the companies action, or, If not, they
say, that is where the matter will end
The telegraphers' unions thruout
the country held their first public
meetings some two weeks ago. Imme-
diately the companies began to dis
charge men who had been prominent
in union activity.
Warned by the national war labor
board to discontinue such action, they
continued to discharge union men "for
incompetence"
The situation has paved the way
for government Intervention, and there
is reason to believe that the outcome
will be government management.

General McAdoo contemplates advanc-
ing passenger rates at least ~ per
cent and freight rates possibly as
much as Is per cent.
The scheme of wage advances
adopted is based on an inquiry into
the cost of living which the commits
sion found had increased approNi-
mately 40 per cent to the average
railroad employe receiving $50 n
month.
The commission favors a shorter av-
erage workday, presumably eight
hours, but decided that in the war
emergency the nation could not afford
to put into effect a reform that would
slow down the war machinery and
discriminate against other classes of
workers being called upon for great
sacrifices.
Overtime Not Disturbed.
Rates of overtime pay are not dis
turbed and the increases are adjusted
to the mileage basis of compensation
of some employees road engineer,
for example, receiving an increase of
Tx per cent in his mileage rate. A
scheme of applying the increases to
piece work and overtime therefor is
also provided.
The report of the committee con-
sisting of Franklin X. Lane, secretary
of the interior; Charles c. McChord,
]. Harry Covington and William b.
Wilson, is an exhaustive one.
"As to those who have received
such increases" the report says, Eve

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Wage ad-
vances to l,939.399 railroad employees,
ranging from l per cent to the high
est and 43 per cent to the lowest paid
workers. and aggregating $500, ,000,-
600, were made public last night in
an exhaustive report by the railroad
wage commission to Director General
McAdoo. Mr.. McAdoo. it is learned
on high authority, will accept the re-
port and put the wage increases into
effect at once as of the date of jan
uary l last.
The members of the four brother
hoods of railway employees, who were
awarded the smallest increases in view
of recent advances, virtually agreed to
accept the verdict of the wage COM
mission, it is said, after their insistent
demands had caused the President to
attempt an adjustment.
The wage advances. which range all
the way from 81 to S34 month, are
increases above the amount of pay
each employee was receiving on De-
cember 81, 1915. Employees who have
received advances since that date will
benefit now to the extent of the diff
ference between their present wage
and that fixed by the wage commits
sion.
Based on Cost Of Living.
The net cost of the additional pay
to the railroads is estimated at $780,
100000. This is exclusive of the esti-
mated deficit Of $500, O,000, 900 in gov

Shorter Phofoplays Coming

Maurice Tourneur believes that the
world war is creating a trend toward
shorter picture dramas.
"The movement, as I see it, is dis
tinctly away from, the full evening pho
toplay," declares Mr.. Tourneur. This
is psychological in its cause. The
world war, with its attendant excite
ment, sacrifice and worry, is playing
upon the nervous system of the world.
Whether we know or realize it, the war
has keyed up our nerves to high pitch.
We are keenly restless, highstrung, I'M
able to concentrate for any length of
time upon anything but the worlds
tragedy.
"This nervous reaction is rejecting
itself in every walk Of life. Short
stories, requiring but fifteen minutea or
so to read, were never so popular as
now. Poetry, which is, after all. but
the drama of life condensed into more
or less beautiful particles, is tremen-
dously popular, too.

~ THE MOTION PICTURE PLAYERS ARE DOING
Laurence Grant
ToPlay "ToHeH
With the Kaiser''

"To He'll With the Kaiser" Is the
name of the new picture which Screen
Classics is about to launch, following
"My Own United States" Lest We
Forget" "The Stacker" Draft 25s,"
"The Legion Of Death" and others.
In quite an original manner the new
picture will show the Vaccinations of
Europe's military master before and
during the war, his contempt for Amer
leans, his plans to crush France and
destroy Russia and distribute the
world. including the United States,
among his sons and court favorites.
The producers have made a most
happy selection in choosing the player
to portray the Kaiser He Is Lawrence
Grant, an Englishman, who has made a
study of the Emperor Years before
the war Mr.. Grants physical likeness
to the German ruler was noted by a
high official of the Kaiser's court, and a
proposition was made for Grant to play
the Kaiser in dramatization of a book
of this diplomats. The declaration Of
war by the Allies caused Grant to re-
fuse to interpret the role under these
auspices. However, his photograph
showing him made up as the Kaiser
bore such a striking resemblance to
Wilhelm that Grant agreed to play the
character in vaudeville. He wrote an
act called "The Final Arbiter," which
after a long run he followed with a
dramatic sketch called efficiency" He
was playing this when engaged for the
picture.
The hero and heroine are played by
, Olive Tell and John Sunderland. Miss
Tell is a former Frohman star and
only recently left Broadway to appear
especially in this production.
MIR. Sunderland is an aviator, hero of
many battles around Liege and Namur
and Ypres at the beginning of the war.
The son of a wealthy Belgian, who
turned his fortune over TO his country
when Germany's hordes poured into its
cities and towns, Mr.. Sunderland imme-
diately gave up his profession and en-
tered the airplane service of Belgium.
He was wounded and came to America,
after engaging in more than one hun
dred air duels.
The Crown Prince is played by Earl
Schenck, who has previously distin-
guished himself in this despicable role.
All of the Kaiser's retinue, including
Won Hindenburg, Won Bethmann- Hol-
veg, Won Tirpitz, Field Marshal Won
Mackensen, Won Moltke and General
Truchess, are portrayed with true
characterization. Frank Currier plays
Miss Tells father and W. P Lewis has
the part of Satan, the Kaiser's CO.
partner.
