WILSON WIRES KoNENKAMP

Secretary Wilson, said Mir. konenkamp, who is in Chicago, had given him every assurance that the strike order would not be put into effect tomorrow and that any walkout would be postponed in- definitely. It was understood that the union president agreed to this course because Congress now is considering a new resolution authorizing the President to take over and operate during the war all telegraph, telephone, cable and radio systems.
 In final effort to avert the strike Mir. Wilson sent Mir. Konenkamp a telegram today urging delay and later called in Samuel Gompers, president of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, who also sent a. telegram urging postponement of the strike Later MT Wilson got into com munication with MT. Konenkamp on the telephone.
