WATCH YOUR BOYS!

At Grangeville last week five
boys were arrested by the county
authorities for entering various
business houses at different inter-
walls for a period of some time.
These boys are all in their teens,
and like most boys were a lively
bunch when they congregated on
the streets at night. At first their
intentions perhaps were innocent,
but as time past they became
holder and holder, until the acts
for which they now are sent to
the reform school were commit
ted.
These boys were all fine boys at
one time, and perhaps have no
evil intentions now, but when
congregated with their other com
panions, whom they meet on the
streets at night they would ven
ture to do almost anything that
was suggested by any member of
their crowd.
These very same boys and their
parents ought to be thankful that.
the officers took them in charge,
and without a doubt they will re-
pent and be men with a 100 per
cent character, where if perhaps
were they allowed to continue in
their wrong doings, later in life
would find themselves behind
prison bars or strangling to
galloWs.
Such things as these are always
difficult problems for officers to
handle and as a rule much of the
pains and sorrows caused on oc-
casions of this kind fall on the
parents, sisters, brothers or other
near relatives.
So parents, be sure you know
where your offsprings are at night.
Companionship and late hours
without a doubt have put them
were they are. Take a lesson
from the doings of the unfortu-
nate while it is not to late.

Konenkamp Estimates That 6O,000 Telegraph and Tele- phone Workers Through out Nation Will Walk Out at 8 O'Clock This Morning
By Associated Press

Chicago, June 10. = The Commercial Telegraphers' Un- ion of America tonight was ready to strike at 8 o'clock to- morrow morning throughout the country, s. J. Konenkamp, international president, said. He estimated 60,000 or more telegraph and telephone work CTS would be affected and ex- pressed himself satisfied with the outlook.
 In the announcement that there was no change in the situation and no re- course was left but to strike, MT. Konen- kamp said there were more lock-outs by the Western Union Telegraph company today, bringing the total for the last three days up to 2915 union workers al ready idle. He said that as a result of the strike and lock-outs in the southeast err quarter of the country. the Western Union has resorted to the "suit case route for delivery of messages subject to indefinite delay according to his reports from Washington.
 Action by the Senate or the lower House would not affect the strike he said, referring to passage of the Kellogg wire bill in the Senate today. There were no additions of companies signing the agreement with the union except the Montgomery Telephone and Telegraph company of Hillsboro, H., MT. Konenkamp said The Federal Tele- graph company operating on the Pacific coast, signed last night, he said. The executive council of the union met tonight to go over final details for put ting the strike into effect tomorrow.
 MT. Konenkamp's statement said:
 T am satisfied with the outlook for to- morrow. There is no reason to- expect any change until the strike becomes eff fective. With the telegraph workers it is question of whether they shall enjoy the same rights other workers enjoy or if the anti-union policy of Newconb Carl ton shall become supreme. In the funda- mental issues involved are the rights to organize, the right to bargain collec- lively and to stop the victimiZation of union telegraph workers. Wages and working conditions are an issue, but they can only be taken up when the telegraph officials agree to meet the unions repre- sentatiyes.
 
 that the strike would be won if it were necessary to call out brokers and leased wire eperatcrs, Including press stssoeia- ton operators. Some press associations have contracts with their operators ex- piring July l.
 F. A. Davis, district head of the west ern brokers division of the union, sent a notice to the brokers today advising them to have the American Telephone and Telegraph company sign up with the union unless they wanted their wires paralyzed.
 Plans were being made by the union to- day for picketing the principal offices of the telegraph and telephone companies. Today representatives of the union were already on hand talking with employees as they left the building and handing out cards to girls and messenger boys urg- ing them to join the union and support the strike.

 Votes against the appropriation were
 Kansas, Ramseyer of Iowa, Woodward
 of West Virginia, republicans. and Thomas of Kentucky, democrat None of them urged his objections to the bill during the debate which was marked by the injection of consider able political discussion.
 Chairman Good of the appropria- tions committee, in charge of the rail bill, explained that reduction from the St,2o0, 900, 900 requested by Director General Hines was decided on by the committee because it was admitted that needs of the future were problematical The new fund, he said would meet a total of S1,25o, GOO, 900 granted the ad- ministration since the rail lines were taken over by the government Representatives Burns of South Car olina, and Brynes, Tennessee, democrat urged a large appropriation declaring that such was necessary to- make

 Political debate was started in the House when Representative Magee, re- publican of New York, declared the loss from railroad operation was "con- tnuing to increase,'' and blamed this to the democratic policy of dfffting instead of acting.''

 Resenting frequent republican, refer ence to the presidents absence from the United States Representative Har- dy democrat of Teaxs, said that the republicans damned everything Wood

CONFERENCE IS WARNED M MRESOLU77ONS THAT TREATY
 LS UNACCEPTABLE TO SENAT TIE
Knox Resolution Declares for Immediate Conclusion of Treaty Dealing With Issue of War Only, Leav- ing League for Future Consideration
By Associated Press

ASsoctAied
 Washington, June 10.-The Senate fight over the le of nations was brought to a moro direct issue today with the in troduction of a resolution by Senator Knox, republican of Pennsylvania, proposing that the Senate give formal notice to the peace conference of op- position to be expected should the treaty be submitted for ratification in its present form. Senator Knox, member of the for eigu relations committee and former Secretary of State. drafted the resoiu- ton after conference with other league opponents and presented it with the apparent support of those who have led in criticism of the league covenant. He expected to crystaliize opposition sentiment as did senator Lodge, chairman of the foreign reia- tions committee, with the circulation of the round robin in the closing hours of the last Senate.
 While declaring for immediate
 conclusion of treaty dealing
 with direct issue Of the war only,
 the resolution contains far-
 reaching proposal which would
 lay it down policy of the
 American government that when
 ever the freedom and peace of Eu-
 rope K threatened the United
 States will consider ft obligatory
 to again cooperate in the removal
 Of that menace.
 Decision as to acceptance to mem- bership in the league of nations should be left without prejudice to each na- ton for future consideration, the reso- lution declares. 1t also asserts the lack of authority by the treaty making power of the government to make treaty which in effect amends tie American constitution

|ON EVE OF STRIKE
 CONGRESS ACTS TO END WIRE CONTROL
Senate Unanimously Passes
 Bill for Repeal Forthwith of Law Authorizing Con- trol, While House Would End Control June 30 Next
By Associated Press

Washington, June 10.-On the eve of the nationwide tel egraphers strike, both bodies of Congress today acted to end quickly government control of the country's wire systems. The senate passed unanimously the bill. for repeal forthwith of the law author 1 telephone, cable and radio lines, while the house interstate commerce agreed to report legislation ending government con- troI June 90 next.
 No move was made today by the post office department touching the situation, and officials said that none would be made; the return of wire operations hav- ing left the situation to the handling of private arrangements. At the same time officials lately responsible for the con- duct of the telegraph systems were in- clined to discount the possibility that communications would be seriously ham pered by the strike of telegraph operators. , The threatened walk-out of electrical workers was said to have more serious possibilities.
 WOULD CONTINUE RATES The senate in adopting the repeal bill approved an amendment to continue pres- ent telephone rates 90 days, or until the tariffs can be adjusted by state com . missions
 Democratic and republican senators joined in support of the repeal bill, Of . which Senator Kellogg, republican, of Minnesota is the author, and also in crit icism of the taking over of the wires and the results of government operation.
 Debate in the senate was brief and the bill was passed without a record vote. IL now goes to the house, the interstate commerce committee of which will meet again Thursday with view to prompt action.
 Tn addition to the amendment continu- ing existing toll and local exchange tel ephone rates for 90 days, the senate also adopted an amendment by Senator Shep- pard, democrat, of Texas, providing that government control should not be a de- fense by the wire companies in private damage suits
 OPERATION UNSATISFACTORY
 Many senators in today,s debate de- clared that no necessity required taking over Of the wires and that government operation had been unsatisfactory.
 I think very great mistake was made when the wires were taken over,'' said Senator Pomerene democrat. of Ohio. No good came from it and much harm came. The more quickly they can be turned back the better. There was no ne- cessity for taking them over. Government operation. to some extent, at least, has served to destroy morale of the compa- nes."
 Chairman Cummins of the interstate commerce committee and Senator King, democrat, of Utah, also declared that no valid reaso.. had been assigned for fed eral assumption of the wire system while Senator Watson, republican, of Indiana, declared federal operation had been a failure.
 1T trust out of it will come lesson to the American people, said MT. Watson. that we should never again attempt government operation of public utilities, much less government ownership"
