Konenkamp Says His Organ

Right Already Granted EIeC-
triCianS By BurIeSon,
tsv MORNING IousnAl SPECIAL LEASED wrssI

Chicago, June 1S,-After a confer
ence late today union officials stated
that the action of the Postal Tele-
graph company in announcing that
striking commercial telegraphers who
return to work before June 20 will be
reinstated with continuity of serv-
ice" will have no bearing on the strike.
I'VE are fighting for the right of
collective bargaining, the same right
that the postmaster general extended
to electrical workers." said S. j. ko-
nenkamp, president of the telegra-
pliers union. He added that the
latest reports showed more workers
were idle than at any time since the
strike started.
Telegraph company officials as
serted that business was not being
delayed noticeably in any district,
Union leaders said conferences in
Atlantic City by American Fedora
ton of Labor officials probably would
result in placing the entire situation
before President Wilson.
Charles p. Ford, secretary of the
International Brotherhood of Electri-
cal Workers, said the strike of tele-
phone operators and lnemen in the
Pacific coast district might be ex-
tended to other states included in that
district unless demands are met. He
attributed the trouble to failure of
telephone companies to abide by the
postmaster generals order permitting
the workers to bargain collectively.

WATCH YOUR STEP,
SLOGAN HERE FOR
NO-ACC|DENT WEEK
Railroad Employees Plan Cam
paj8n TO Go For Seven Days
Without a Mishapi Will Hold
Mass Meeting Saturday.

For the purpose Of lining up the
accident week" June % to 28, D. u.
Barton, superintendent of the local
shops and chairman of the shop safe
ty committee, has called a mass meet
ing to be held at the general office
building Saturday at 12:45 o'clock in
the afternoon. Short speeches will be
made by r. d. Bryan, J. j. Heaney,
+. B. Swope and II. V. Barker.
The object is to avoid accidents for
an entire week On al railroads under
federal central Considering that
there are 305,O0 railroad employees in
the central western region alone, in
which Albuquerque is located, it is
apparent that to establish such rec
ord seems almost impossible. But
each employe will be asked to indivd-
ually do his utmost during the period
Of seven days to keep from being in
jured himself, or of being the cause
Of injuring "a fellow tmploye.
While the plan concerns railroad
employees mainly, the general public
can aid In the good work by exercls-
ing care, as statistics show that In
the five-year period ending Deem
ber 81, 1917, 32,$79 persons other
than passengers or employees were
killed and 60,0S0 injured. This result
ed from persons trying to board trains
after they had started attempting to
alight before the trains had stopped,
being careless at stations, walking on
railroad tracks, being struck at grade
crossings, and in oher ways. Most, II
not all, of these accidents, could have
been avoided had the persons con-
cerned exercised due precaution.
I During the fiveyear period ending
December 81. 1917, there was a total
casualty list on the American rail-
roads of 9S0,565. OF this number AS
sol were deaths and 931. 764 were in
juries. During this period 1891 pas
sengers and persons carried under
contract were killed and 55,SS7 in
iured. Employees killed totaled a.
652. and S15,S97 were injured.
Bulletins, rallies, moving pictures of
an educational nature, personal ap-
peals and many other forms of get
t'',r- IN c'c"a touch with all employees
will be utilized.
Nv atch your step" is the slogan
adopted by the Albuquerque employees
for the campaign.

Russell S. Norton, proprietor of a
nool hall, through his attorney, II. B.
Jamison, filed complaint alleging
that the police had accused him of
allowing gambling to go on in his
place and also that they had threat
ened to revoke his license,
Mr.. Jamison took the stand that
the city had no right to revoke a
mans license until he had been Civ
g ma hearing, and also contended that
there is no law to prohibit gambling
unless there is kitty"
This led to a slight tilt between Mr..
Jamison and City Attorney Keleher,
the latter chnging to the opinion that
the commissioners have a right to pro-
hibit gambling by ordinance. while
Mr.. Jamison opposed this view.
The matter was finally referred to
the city attorney and the city man
