1--WE Will Join Republican
Party" They Say After
Stormy Talk at ALBANY
Staff Cnrrcsno1a1I Il,


ALBANY, June 16.-Twenty New York
City women railway employees had a
stormy session with Governor Smith
in their efforts to get him to recon-
mend that the special session of the
Legislature repeal the Lockwood law
regulating hours of labor and working
conditions of women railway employees.
The Governor emphatically told them
he would make no such recommends
ton.
The delegation was headed by Miss
Amy Wren. their counsel; Mrs. Mary
Murray, president of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Women's League for
Equal Opportunity, and Mrs. Florence
Bushnell, president Of the 1nterborough
Rapid Transit Women's League.
Because of the treatment we re-
ceived from Governor Smith," said Miss
Wren, "the women of these organiza-
tions will join the Republican party"
Miss Wren asked the Governor if he
would favor an amendment to the law
which would prevent the women from
losing their jobs because they cannot
work the same hours as men. Cover
nor Smith replied he would consider
the proposed amendment and talk it
over with the legislative leaders, if it
were submitted to him in writing.
II am, however, absolutely opposed
to any legislation that would permit
women to work at night" he added.
The women held an indignation meet
ing afterward outside of the Executive
Chamber.
"He treated US shabbily and con-
tinually barked at u.s." declared Miss
Wren. ale was elected.on a platform
that promised square deal to the
working people and he Is not keeping
that promiAs."
The wesaSn then appealed to the Re-
publican leaders, who told them they
were helpless unless tho Governor sent
a special message to the Legislature
This tho Governor refused TO do.

Willing to Terminate Walk
out if r i g h t of Col
lective Bargaining Has
Been Granted to Them
Study Electrical Order
Konenkamp Insists Move
Is Spre aiding; Small
Towns Hit, He Says

CHICAGO, June 16.-Termination of
the nationwide strike Of commercial
telegraphers, union officials declared to-
night, now rests wholly in the hands
of Postmaster General Burleson. They
stated, after reading reports from the
American Federation of Labor conven-
ton, that a definite statement from
Mr.. Burleson concerning the scope of
the order to electrical workers would
be awaited before any move is made.
Officers Of the Commercial Telegraph
ers' Union Of America said if the Post
master Generals order granting the
right of collective bargaining to cleo
trical workers actually covered the
striking telegraphers, steps probably
would be taken to end the walkout
after assurances of no unfair discrimi-
nation against the strikers had been
obtained.
"But in the meantime we shall con-
tinue plans for finish fight, fight
for the same rights that have been
extended the electrical workers." S. j.
Konenkamp, international president Of
the telegraphers union. told meeting
of strikers here tonight.
He reiterated that the strike is
spreading and now includes nearly 25,-
600 persons and declared the order for
railroad telegraphers to refuse to handle
commercial business had clogged chan
nels to scores of smaller towns through
out the country.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, on the other hand, denied that
commercial business was being greatly
delayed and issued this bulletin to-
night:
Situation in all Offices practically
unchanged. There was some Interrupt
tion from railroad telegraphers who
are unaware of the true situation. The
Informed ones think it unfair and are
handling business" The bulletin added
that Jacksonville, Fla, the storm centre
of the South and Southeast, reported
normal conditions and that the strike
of Postal telegraph operators in De-
troit also had been declared off.

graph Contemplated to
Fight Girl Organizers
Move Long Considered
Local Wire Operators Look
to Burleson for Solution
of Strike in Short Time

The American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company intends TO develop a
national organization of its employees
similar to the employees association
maintained by the Western Union
Telegraph Company, May Matthews,
general organizer for the telephone
operators department of the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Electrical Work.
ers, said last night. Miss Matthews is
here to unionize New York City and
state telephone girls with Julia O'Con-
nor, who directed the recent New
England telephone strike.
1--WE understand that the telephone
company plans this association, which
will include it's 100000 workers, in the
hope that it will stop any possibility
"Of course, they want to discourage
union among the workers, and l am
informed that they have already offer
ed employees an adjustment board
such as we obtained in New England
as result Of the strike. But the
New York girls desire to unionize
still remains.
eve are marking time at present,
waiting for Miss O'Connor, who will
come here from the American Fedora
ton of Labor convention. On her ar
rival we will announce a definite plan
of action"
When Miss Matthews's statements
were read to F. H. Bethel, first vice
president of the New York Telephone
Company, a subsidiary of the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, he said:
This is a matter which we took
under consideration some time ago
Now that the lines are on a fair way
to coming back to private control we
are taking it up actively.
1--WE have no quarrel with Miss
Matthews, but are simply doing what
we think ought to be done. This is
in line with out sickness and acci-
dent benefits and pension funds"
According to one of the operators in
terested in the proposed union, a secret
order went out from the telephone Off
Gals last week asking girls on central
swltchboaros to listen in on wires and
report any conversations among fellow
operators concerning a union or strike.
The sixth day of the telegraph oper-
ators' strike found the Postal Tele-
graph and the Western Union moving
traffic with no apparent break. The
local strikers are eagerly awaiting word
from Postmaster General Burleson as
to whether his recent concessions to
electrical workers, whose right to or
ganize and bargain collectively he rec
ognized, was to apply also to the teleg-
raphers.
Well informed opinion in this city
was that the Postmaster General
would not apply his electrical work
ers' decision to the keymen.

Oil Man Indicted;
Held i'm $4,000 Bail
On Fraud Charge
Howard B. Wood, Secretary
of. Tar Island Co., Is Ac-
cused of Making False
Reports in Selling Stock

Howard B. Wood, secretary of the
Tar Island Producing and Refining
Corporation, was arrested yesterday by
Postoffice Inspector Oliver C. William
son and arraigned before United States
Commissioner Hitchcock on a charge
of using the mails to defraud He was
released on $4,000 bail.
The complaint, sworn to by William
son, charges that the defendant OBJ
tanned an option on a million shares of
stock in the Tar Island corporation
and obtained permit from the state of
Texas to exploit $50 acres of oil land
The complaint says Wood, "by means
of false pretences and promises made
for the purpose of defrauding various
persons, whose names are unknown
did pretend and represent that the
tracts of land were owned by the Tar
Island Producing and Refining Corpora
tion, and that the title of said corpora
ton to such tracts of land had been in
vestigated and approved by counsel for
such corporation"
Wells Producing Oil
1t is further alleged that the de-
fendant falsely asserted that the two
wells on the property were producing
oil, and that the corporation on JULY
70 would begin paying quarterly divi.
dends, and that the defendant sold
stock at price more than its reason
able value.
The authorities assert that the Tar
Island concern was reorganized two
years ago, with 100000 shares, and
that Wood was elected secretary and
treasurer and was given 100000
shares under contract to reimburse
the treasury at the rate of 10 cents a
share. The authorities allege that he
has disposed of 1000 shares at from
go cents to 81 share.
According to the inspectors Wood de.
clared three dividends himself between
May, 1917, and yesterday, and paic
$4,000 in dividends out of his owr
packet. He also sent $4,000 to the
managers to erect a refinery.

Measure to Return
Wires Expected to
Pass House To-day
Neac York Tribune
Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, June 16-Legisla-
ton returning complete control of the
wire systems to their private owners
will be taken up and probably passed
by the House tomorrow.
The bill reported by the House In
terstate and Foreign Commerce Com
mittee to-day provides that the wires
shall be returned on the last day of
the month during which the measure
is signed by the President, existing
rates to be continued in evect for six
months thereafter. Since the bill
probably will be signed this month, the
present rates will remain in force until
January /, 1920.
Explaining its reason for rejecting
the Senate provision for the return of
the wires on the day of the approval
Of the bill, the committee said that
accounting by the companies will be
simplified and unnecessary expense
avoided thereby.
"Your committee believed" said the
report, chat the period of ninety days
as contained in the Senate act was too
short to permit the commissions or
regulatory body to pass on the nun
dreds of applications which would be
filed, in view of the differing require
ments and conditions in the several
states, as in Ohio, for instance, where
before an application can be passed
upon valuation must be made in Mich
igan, where the municipality must join
with the company in making the ap-
plication.
"While we are anxious to turn back
the wire systems at the earliest pos
sible date, We weel compelled to extend
this period beyond ninety days for rea-
sons based largely upon the physical
limitations imposed upon the commits
sions or regulatory bodies.
"On the other hand, we believe a
period of one year too long. 1t would
invite delay and dilatory tactics on
the part of some of the companies to
secure proper readjustment Of their
rates. We believe under these circum-
stances and in the interest of fairness
both to companies and to the public,
period of six months will be sufi-
cient.

moved"
The report was then adopted and
permission given NJ. W. Atkin, of the
Order of Railroad Telegraphers, to in
troduce a resolution favoring the
striking commercial telegraphers. The
convention believed he would ask that
something be done for them as was
done for the electrical workers. As
presented to the committee. however
the resolution merely Endorses the
strike.
The leaders of the Federation to-
night decided on an intensive campaign
to organize the steel and iron trades
This decision was made at conference
presided over by Mr.. Gompers, at which
were present the representatives of
twenty-four trades. At this meeting il
developed that of all the trades af-
fected by the war, the steel trade was
the one in which practically no head
way was made in organizing.
Conditions in Mills
1t also developed that conditions in
the mills of the United States Steel
Corporation, which has consistently
followed the non-union policy of the
Carnegie Steel Company, made in the
days of the Homestead riots, are gen.
orally better than in the independent
mills.
Mr.. Gompers this afternoon forbade
committee which had before it a
resolution raising his salary from
$500 to $4,000 to report the resolu-
tion favorably. He had he said, no de-
sire to appear to be a money grabber
in the closing days of his life.
