REPEAL PLANS PROCEEDING

Leaders in Congress, despite the Post master Generals order returning the wires to private operation, went for ward with their plans for Legislation for repeal of the wire control resolution.
 Reopening the hearings on the bill by Senator Kellogg, republican, of Min nesota, for repeal of the wire resolution, the Senate interstate commerce com mittee questioned N. c. Kingsbury, vice president of the American Telephone and Telegraph company as to legisla- tion necessary to protect the wire com panies. During the hearing some mem bers of the committee charged that the Postmaster General, confronted by a strike, issued the return order for the purpose of passing the buck"
 MT. Burleson, in a letter to Chairman Cummins of the Senate committee, de- clared that his order had been misin- terpreted and that actual control of the wire systems had not passed from the department but only operation had been relinqushed.
 The committee at the close of the hearing agreed to amend the Kellogg bill so as to continue existing telephone toll rates in effect for 90 days after the wires are returned, instead of so days, as originally proposed. Shortly before the Senate adjourned late today until Monday the bill was called up and placed in position with privileged status for consideration Monday.
 Chairman Esch of the House inter- state commerce committee announced after meeting of the committee today, at which the Postmaster Generals ac tion was not discussed, that actual framing of legislation for return of the lines would be considered Monday.

WESTERN UNION STATEMENT

There is great difference between the reports made by Mr. Butsch and those by the officials of the Western Union here. who claim that they have not been seriously hampered by the strike and also that they have been able to handle all traffic without any noticeable delay. They say that no par ticular station is giving any apprecia- ble delay, and that almost normal con- ditions exist between here and At lanta.
 A message was sent to all chief op- er2tors of the Western Union stations by $. L. Burts, division traffic super intendent at Atlanta, today by order of President Carlton, which reads as fol- lows
 The sympathetic strike which has been called by S. L. Konenkamp is meeting with almost no response from our employees. It has amounted to al most nothing and would attract no at tention were it not for the newspaper propaganda. I have telegrams this morning from many sections pledging loyalty to the company
 Reports from all offices affected by the strike show an aggregate number of 276 operators who have left the ser vice, including those at Atlanta, who left yesterday and the day before.
 No doubt Mir. Konenkamp. in his eff forts to bolster up a losing cause in the south, will try to extend the sympa- thetic strike to all sections of the coun- try, therefore employs should give seri- ous consideration to all the facts in de- termining what position they will take for it follows that ours is an industry which requires absolute continuity of operation. It is one of the industries

REPEAL PLANS PROCEEDING

Paris, June 6.--There are still many loose ends to the determinations which must he made before the reply 1 of tho allies to the German counter l pronosals can be submitted to Count | Von Brockdor if Rantzau. head of tAe German plenipotentiaries, and even inc question of principle regarding changes in the treaty has not beea definitely settled Nevertheless the members of the commissions of ex- perts profess confidence that they will be able to complete their reports to the council of four Monday or Tues day and the members of the council themselves seem sure that they will be able to present the allied reply on Thursday or Friday.
 The reply will be submitted as an ultinatum with a short time limit. probably about four days. in which Germany will either have to take cr leave the conditions as offered theni
 The most important modification under consideration. namely, the ques- tion of reparations probably will npt involve any material changes In the treaty as originally presented. The concessions will be presented in the form ot a supplementary agreement. defining the procedure for the reparn- tions commission and prescribing cey- ain instructions for that body which. according to the original draft of the treaty. was given most comprehen- sive power of action subject only 70 the instructions of the powers repre- scented on the commission.
 This new solution. which is expected to emerge from the deliberations of the experts. will fix action of a defi Hite monetary total for separations, .o which the French object on tns ground that announcement of any sum which :. is considered possible to ex act in payment would so disappoint the cNIectations of the French public as to cause a political upheaval.
 The supplementary agreement also would meet the objections of the Ger mans, wLo declared they were to be asked te ray off debt the extent os which was unknown, and with the rcpu,a ,ation in virtual economic slavery to the reparations commission under that clause of the treaty requiring Germany to devote her economic re- sources directly to the physical restoration of the invaded areas of the allIed and associated powers to the extent that those powers may deter mine"
 WILL KNOW AMOUNT
 The instructions to the separations commission in the proposed supple nentary agreement would enable the Germans to know at once the amount .of reparations due under certain "categories of separations, such as pensions. separation allowances. maintenance of war prisoners and the destruction of ships at fixed fig ure per ton. It was found impossib e. however, to fix any total sum for all cateG Gores since the cost of recon- structon and restoration in the devas- tated regions cannot be established until after an extensive survey. diii

THREE OPERATORS REMAIN AT KEYS,

 BIRMINGHAM 'N|ON
Local Western Ion Off, cials Claim T Service Is Practicall' rmal, and Traffic S .dled With
 Slig Delay

Striking Western Union em- ployes held a meeting at the courthouse at S:30 last night, and were addressed by local President l.. M. Butsch and H. C. Thomas, member of the ex- ecutlve board of the c. T. U. A.. During the meeting delegates were appointed to attend the meeting of Railway Clerks. They reported that the clerks were wholly in sympathy with the strikers and extended their hearty support.
 President Butseh said:
 Eighteen striking operators. for merly employed by the Western Union Telegraph company, registered today and stated that only three Morse op- orators and four automatic operators were working. I have received bulletins from all sections of the southeast to- day. These bulletins were all of a very optimistic nature, reporting that from S5 to 100 per cent of the operators throughout the southeastern division had walked out. These reports were from the most important cities and great number of smaller towns. Among the larger cities, Jacksonville, Fla re- ported 100 per cent out, New Orleans 70 per cent out, and the others will strike when they report for duty on the night force. The ranks of Atlanta strikers were augmented today by ad . ditional men who walked out. Monta gomery, Savannah and Winston- Salem reported 100 per cent out while Rich mond claimed 90 per cent, and more to come
 "A great number of the smaller of hces, including Meridian, Miss; Rome, Ga; Gadsden and Selma, Ala, were re- ported closed Owing to the fact that tfere was some confusion in the issu- ing of the strike order, a great num- Der of the smaller offices received the notice late this evening and are ex- pected to respond to the strike order in the morning. v

He said that neither the date of
 the proposed waIkout nor whether
 1t would affect both the Postal Tel
 egraph-Cable company and the
 Western Union Telegraph and Ca
 ble company had been decided.
 President Konenkamp said the
 strike would be called in support
 of union employees of the Western
 Union company in the southern
 states. who were requested by him
 to leave their keys last night fol-
 lowing return by order of Post
 master General Burleson of the
 wire systems of the country to pri-
 vate operation.
 President Konenkamp. of the teIeg-a- phers' union, issued a statement before leaving for Chicago tonight, claiming that 25oo workers had left Western Union employ in the southern states that the strike would be extended tc other states without delay, making the wire tie-up complete" President Carl ton of the Western Union received ont surprise today he asserted, but is due for the surprise of his life shortly He asserted that the company was ac- cepting business at southern points only subject to indefinite delay"
 Postoffice department officials, while intimating that whereas the wire sys- tems now were being operated by the companies the department was not di- rectly concerned in the controversy, ex- pressed the belief that the strike, fl called, would not seriously affect com munication. Western Union officials pointed to the statement in New York today of Newcomb Carlton. president of the company, that out of 10000 em- ployes eligible to join the Commercial Telegraphers' union, only ITO were members.
 MT konenkamp planned to leave Washington shortly after midnight for Chicago.

That's what thousands of stomach
sufferers are doing now. Instead of
taking tonics, or trying to patch up a
poor digestion, they are attacking the
real cause of the ailment - clogged liver
and disordered bowels.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets arouse the
liver in a soothing, healing way. When
he liver and bowels are performing their
natural functions, away goes indigestion
and stomach troubles.
If you have a bad taste in your
mouth, tongue coated, appetite poor,
lazy, don't-care feeling, no ambition or
energy troubled with undigested foods
you should take Olive Tablets, the SUBJ
stitute for calomel.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil. You will know them by their
olive color. They do the work without
gripping, cramps or pain. =

relief, so you can eat what you like.

Certain articles of diet tend to
