STRIKERS EMPLOYERS
 FAIL IN AGREEMENT

SAN FRANCISCO, June 10.-Repre- sentatives of striking telephone work CTS in California and Nevada and com- pany officials conferred here today without reaching an understanding which would end the strike, it was an nounced late today by strike leaders.
 Delegates to the conference quoted D. Fullerton, plant superintendent of the telephone company, as having said:
 ''Of course you understand we can not consider wage demands you have presented in full.'
 This was interpreted by some of the workers as amounting to a refusal of the demands while others believed it indicated possibilities of a settlement at a conference scheduled for tomor- row. Company officials early tonight had not commented on the conference.
 Delegates representing the Pacific Northwest were said to have intimated that all telephone operators and cleo trical workers in Oregon and Wash ington would be called on strike if the telephone company maintains it's pres- ent attitude.

HIGH WAGES HAVE

.aepubIican A. p. Leased wirel

NEW YORK, June 19.-William Howard Taft, the first witness today at the federal electric railway commis- sion hearing into the problems of pulp lie utility finance and service, said his experience as a member of the war labor board had shown that the car lines were in a precarious condition, because of lack of funds and that higher fares or the Introduction of the zone system are imperative in the re- duction of costs.
 NEW YORK, June 1s.-Testimony that the general situation among the country's public utility corporations is most discouraging and that wage in- creases, higher cost of materials and other reasons, have greatly depressed the financial strength of the compa- nies, was given here today by William Howard Taft, as first witness at the federal electric railway commissions hearings intoqt the problems of public utility finance and service.
 MT. Taft said the investigation made by the war labor board into the wage problem and the increases granted in many cases had, he thought, more or less established an upward tendency. lie Qlu not see any near prospect Oi a decline in amounts paid for labor. ! He had found employers obstinate against any increases, on the ground
 their companies could not pay them and maintain the service required. l He consulted many business men 1 who had refused to build because of 1 the high cost of material, MT. Taft declared, and now they were beginning, l having come to regard the higher costs ! as a level more or less fixed.
 Mr. Taft said: T believe it would i be best for all concerned to have complete state control, especially fol i speed and efficiency, but there is a 1 strong feeling among the people fol
 local regulation. The whole problem i should be under the state with local
 aid, but the local board should mol l control everything. A fixed fare foi 20 years, under present conditions
 would not be right, in my opinion The purchasing power of a dollar has

great governments of the world for the maintenance of justice.
 "The league of nations is the child of this great war, for it is the expres- sion of those permanent necessities which grew out of the temporary neces- sities which grew out of this great struggle, and any nation which de- clines to adhere to this covenant, de- l:berately turns away from the most telling appeal that has ever been made to it's conscience and to its manhood.
 Those bad days, I hope, are gene and the great moral power backed, if need be, by the great physical power of the civilized nations of the world will now stand firm for the mainten- ance of the fine partnership which we have inaugurated.
 Tt cannot be otherwise. Perhaps the conscience of some chancellors was aaleep and the outrage of Germany nation violate every principle of right without beginning to know what the | principles of right are and to love them, to despise those who violate them and to form the firm resolve that such violation shall now be punished, and in the future be prevented.
 Suggests Embassy
 These are feelings with which have come to Belgium, and it has been my thought to propose to the congress of the United States, as a recognition and as a welcome of Belgium into her new status of complete independence to raise the mission of the United States of America to Belgium to the an embassy and send an ambassador This is the rank which Belgium en- joys in our esteem; why should she not enjoy it in form and in fact?
 ''So, gentlemen. we turn to the fu- ture.

from a trip to Milwaukee, Chicago and

latter place Mr.. Parker was the guest
of the Rudy Furnace Company and
spent several days inspecting their

mace is acknowledged to be one of the
finest 10 the country and Mr. Parker
states that the time spent there was
the most interesting of his entire trip.
In commenting on market conditions
Mr. Parker states that lots of mater
ial is still very hard to get and prices
are very firm. He has adopted the
policy Of guaranteeing prices on fur
naces bought of them this year-that
is, if there is decline in price the
consumer has the amount of the de-
cline refunded to him. This policy is
certainly deserving of patronage and
it is seldom that we find such spirit
in the relations between dealer and
customer
