Head of Union Defers
Telegraphers' Strike
Refuses Sanction Pending Set
Element of Controversy
by Labor War Board

WASHINGTON, May is. J. Konen-
kamp, international president of the
Commercial Telegraphers' Union, an
nounced tonight that he would refuse
sanction to a strike of union telegraph
ers pending settlement of the CON
troversy between the men and the
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
companies, by the National War Labor
Board.
The announcement by the union
leader came after the War Labor
Board had received telegram from
Newcomb Carlton, president of the
Western Union, refusing to comply
with the boards request that the com
pany refrain from discharging en-
ployes who join the union until after
the board could hear both sides to the
controversy.
In announcing his compliance with
the request of the board not to sane
tion strike, Mr.. Konenkamp said the
men appreciate that "this is not the
tinc to accept challenges to fight" if
peace can be had by other means.
The War Labor Board adjourned to-
night until next Wednesday with An
announcement by Frank p. Walsh.
Joint chairman with former President
Taft, that it would take no action in
the controversy until then. He added
however, that the issue would be given
precedcnce over other pending contro-
voxsiea,

Chalmers Asks 18th
Habeas Corpus Writ
Seeks Release From Mattea-
wan on Alleged Error
of Trial Court

For the eighteenth time since he was
sent to the Matteawan Hospital for the
Criminal Insane, James Chalmers swore
out writ of habeas corpus in the
Supreme Court yesterday to prove that
he should be released
Chalmers was committed to the
asylum after being indicted for sending
threatening letters to Frank L. Crocker,
lawyer, by whose firm Chalmers had
been employed, then an imitation bomb
and finally real bomb which did not
explode. Chalmers has been the
librarian at Matteawan He wrote the
petition for the writ himself, address
ing it to Justice Guy and forwarding
it to Mrs. Chalmers to be submitted to
the court.
Chalmers complained that when
brought into court on a writ in White
Plains the justice said: "This man is
evidently rational, but one man l
ordered discharged from Matteawan
committed a crime after his release
and another destroyed himself and |
will not take the responsibility"
Chalmers, in his petition, said that the
indictment against him has been out
lawed and that he was not guilty of
the offence charged against him.

Age; One License Returned

Yesterday was the busiest day in the
history of the marriage license bureau
at The Bronx since the war began. So
large crowd was waiting when Stuart
4. Harris, deputy city clerk, opened
the Office, that he called them together
and reminded the young men that
Provost Marshal General Crowder had
notified all attaining the age of twenty
one to be ready for draft call at any
time.
Later, Mr.. Harris said one license,
issued in the morning, had been re-
turned with note saying the young

cided to wait until after the war. He
would not make their names public.
