Telegraphers of 3
Cities Tell Wilson
They'll Not Strike

thousand telegraphers employed by the
Western Union Telegraph Company in
Chicago, Seattle and Spokane wired
President Wilson to-day that thew
would not be parties to any movement
looking to a disruption of the country's
commercial telegraph service during
the war. They deplored agitation look.
ing, to strike Of telegraph operators
and pledged their loyalty to the gov
ernment.
s. J. Konenkamp, president of the
Commercial Telegraphers' Union. an
nounced recently that he would cali a
strike of members Of the union as a
result Of the refusal of the Western
Union company to submit to the iuris-
dlction of the National War Labor
Board, which sought to compose dif
ferences between the company and the
men, growing out of the dschargnr
of operators for joining the union
Some three thousand teleeraphers in
Chicago told the President that thew
were not represented by any labor
leaders who had threatened to call a
strike and that they resented the in
ference that they might be $50 base
and disloyal" as to support strike.

WASHINGTON, June S.-Hearings
on the new war tax legislation before
the House Ways and Means Commit
tee will continue to June 20. The
committee to-day extended the time
limit ten days because of the large
number of requests for hearings which
nave come from corporations and in
dividuals who would be affected.
Secretary McAdoo, Internal Revenue
Commissioner Roper, Chairman Ba-
ruch, of the War Industries Board,
and other officials are yet to be heard.
Data upon which the new bill will be
based are now being assembled by tax
experts of the Treasury Department
and will be submitted to the committee
by Mr.. McAdoo in the near future
Suggestions made to the committee

by applying interstate schedules to in
trastate shipments where these sched-
ules exist. and then increasing those
rates 2a per cent, that the railroad
administration is considering abandon
ing the provision Of the rate order. A
number of notifications in the new
high schedules to 60 into effect June
20, will be announced next week.
Representatives Of the Southern
Traffic League and Southern Senators
to-day protested to the railroad ad
mlnistration against the double impo-
sltion on intrastate commerce and
were assured that the situation was
being studied carefully, with the view
to making revsions.
Millions of dollars Of increased reve-
nue. will result from the decision to-
day to apply the new higher rates to
local switching charges.
This will result in doubling the
charges on many commodities, such as
sand and gravel, moving under com
modify rates and originating within
switching districts. No carload ship
ment will be accepted for even local
switching movement at less than SIS
car.
The increase does not apply to
switching included in long distance or
so-called line hauling.

President Confers With the
Secretary Of Labor
Over Controversy
May Call Carlton
To Washington
Head of Telegraphers'
Union Sets Date for Walk
out of 10000 Men
Especial Dispatch to The Tribxns)

WASHINGTON, June S.-Action to
compel the Western Union Telegraph
Company to prevent the threatened
strike of the Commercial Telegraphers'
Union is expected to be taken early
next week by President Wilson, who
held long conference with Secretary
Of Labor Wilson to-day ever the con-
trovcrsy between the employers and
the men.
The White House is expected either
ts summon President Carlton, of the
company, to Washington to explain his
reasons for refusing to submit to the
jurisdiction of the National War Labor
Board, which sought to compose the
differences between the employers and
the men, or to apply the same tactics
used in the case of the striking ship
carpenters. In that affair letter was
dispatched to President Hutcheson de-
claring che was for the government or
against in declining to use his in
huence IN preventing q tie-up Of ship
yards.
A call setting a definite date for a
mercial Telegraphers' Union has been
sent out by S. J. Konenkamp, president
OF the international union, following
his visit to Washington to confer with
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, in the
hope of finding some way out of the
difficulty without tying up wire commu-
nications. Before his departure for
Chicago Konenkamp said that he had
given up hope of President Carlton
submitting to the decree of the Ma.
tonal War Labor Board, and he sug.
gested government ownership as the
only means out of the difficulty.
Government ownership Of the lines,
however, is said to be the last measure
that will be applied. The success of the
intervention of the White House in the
dispute of the striking shipyard work.
ers, 1T was pointed out to-day, has
established a precedent that should ap-
ply IN the case of the telegraphers. La
Dor leaders maintain that what is
sauce for the goose should be sauce for
the gander," and in this instance the
argument is made that the emelover
should be the one to be compelled, as
pure wal measure, to submit to the de-
slres of the employees.

Whenever Captain Baker ma de-

such domestic consumers or public
utility any coal or coke in transit by

AS soon as possible after such di-
version. the state fuel administrator
will notify both shipper and consignce
of the coal or coke so diverted, and
the shipper thereof will be expected,
so far as as soon as practical, to re-
place for such consiEnee all equal

No need for such action has yet
arisen in North Dakota. thanks to the

been seriously hampered by the con-
gestlon OF loaded freight cars at i'm
