aMEGRAPHERS
MEDTATIONFOR
TAFT, WALSH
Operators VIII Be Subject
to Views of. Heads of
Two Boards.

Former President Taft and Frank
P.s walsh, Joint chairmen Of the Ma
tional War Labor Board, were last
night appointed medlators to effect
an apnicabls agreement between the
telegraph companies and members Of
the. commercial telegraphers' union.
In announcing its decision the board
. re-stated the principle Of the right Of
woskers TO organize. Employers and
employees were called upon to abide
faithfully by this declaration.
Operators Claim Victory.
Representatives Of the operators ac-
cept the boards decision as q COM
plete victory for their side. No strike
win be called pending the award OF
the nnedfAtors.
The text of the boards announce
ment follows:
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Walsh have been
directed by the board to take up the
mediation OF the differences between
the Western Union and Postal tele-
graph companies and the telegraph
operators, with a view to an amic-
. abla adjustment OF their differences.
7 The board takes this occasion earn
estly to request all persons to abide
faithfully by its declaration OF prin-
ciples to govern relations between
workers and employers. Of date
March ., 1913, and proclaimed by the
President in his proclamation of April
s. 1918. to the end that all employees
shall be retained and continue in their
respective employments and the
maximum of production thus main
tafned.''
While the boards announcement is
not clear with regard to granting the
tslegraphers the demanded right to
organize, S. J. Konenkamp, interna-
tional president OF the Commercial
Telegraphers Union, said he was sat
isied. He construed the wording of
the decision to sustain the Presidents
proclsnation guaranteeing to labor
the right to organize. The efforts Of
the mediators. he said would be
awaited with full confidence that the
ultimate findings will be in the oper-
ators' favor.
Holding that the general principal
as laid down in the Presidents proc
lamation is upheld. the operators
claim the only matters to be medi-
SNEu VII DC TcCOSHlllOn OL t1e UNION
and the demand for the reinstatement
Of the men and women who have
been discharged because Of their con-
nection with the union.
Boards Power Limited.
The failure of the board to make
its position clearer is understood to
have been due to the opposition of
some of the members representing
the employers Of the country. The
board is without power. Mr.. Taft has
stated. to enforce arbitration except
when the vote Of the members is
. unanimous.
The determination Of the board to
mediate the differences between the
companies and their operators, rather
than issue a direct order, is believed
TO have been arrived at with a view
OF composing the whole situation on
a basis satisfactory to both sides.

A Gruesome Find.

Tracy Correspondence.-Mr. Hall
Cash, section boss on the G. b. & q.
from Tracy to Bussey ran onto a
gruesome sight Friday morning at the
Yader crossing two and half miles
south of Tracy-the mangled remains
Of a man One hand and foot severed
from the body was all that was not
r1angled beyond recognition. His hat
with his initials, his check book and
his registration card were beside the
track. His coat was found half mile
north of where the body was strewn
along the track. The unfortunate man
proved to be Andrew Kennedy of
Knoxville. He leaves a wife and 9th
er relatives to mourn his untimely
death. He had been to Bussey to
celebrate the Fourth. His watch had
stopped at 2:37 and there is a freight
due at Tracy at 2:4O a. IN. There was
found $110 scattered on the ground.
The supposition is that he had started
to walk home along the railroad. 1t
will probably always remain mys-
terry just how he came to be run down.

Public gatherings of children have
been prohibited and few are seen on
the streets, or at the amusement parks

Experts have been called here from
Rochester, Mimi, and other points,
and are doing their best to combat the
plague.
