WILSON TO GET
STRIKE REPORT
Hoped Executive Interven-
ton Will Prevent City !.
Employees Walkout.

President Wilson will this morn
ing receive a report. on the threat
ened strike of 2,40O' per diem mu-
nicipaI employees, final action upon
which has been temporarily post
poned until President Joseph A.
Hurley, of the City Employees Asso-
citation. makes public the result OF
the White House conference.
Employees will meet again Satur-
day night, unless Developments
call for a special, earlier meeting
and 1t Is believed the White House
decision on the case Will be re-
ceived the latter part OF the week.
The intervention OF Presioent
Wilson in the controversy between
the employees and the District Com
missioners has been accepted by the
men as an indication that the situa-
tion will be cleared without the de-
lay of calling upon a Department
OF Labor mediator. The President
Intervention has also caused the De-
lief upon the part OF the employees
that the controversy will be settled
in their favor.
Unless agreement is reached as a
result of the Presidents action. II Is
not unlikely that q vote to strike
will be taken. for negotiations be-
tween the employees and the Com
missioners are at q deadlock.
At this mornings conference the
details OF tho whole wage contro-
versy will be laid before Secretary
Tunulty. Secretary Forster and As
sistant Secretary Kerwin. OF the De-
partment of Labor, to be later re-
ferred to the President.

purpose of discussing the rulirg of

Those eligible for retirement, but
seeking to retain their positions are

Numerous reasons for the reten-

but still capable to continue in the
government employ have been ad-

will be given due consideration
when the Cabinet meets tomorrow
to discuss retirement
Postoffice employees especially have
received encouragement from the
announced request of Postmaster
General Burleson which asks for a
review of all cases in which a re-
tirement eligible seeks continued
employment. They believe that this
may be an indication that the Post
master General is considering a
softening of his original order that
all of those eligible will be retired,
regardless of whether they may still
be capable to perform the duties.

believes to be the clatter of type
writer keys within the camera.
Messages Typewritten.
But he does not get his pictures
or messages until a week later.
Keeler explains that this is neces-
sary because of the rush of work,
and that development of the plates
really consumes only the usual pc
riod necessary for ordinary earth
pictures" 1t is understood Keeler
has between six and twelve others
who receive messages and pictures
more or less regularly.
The fact that messages come to
Roberts in typewriting, white let
tering on a solid black background.
does not seem strange, for, accord
ing to him, that is the method by
which the messages are "demate-
rialized" from spirit thoughts to
such form as those "in the form"
or still on earth. may understand.
When messages come from the
other sphere, Roberts poses in the
customary manner of studio pro-
cedure, but instead of receiving a
week later picture of himself with
or without a spirit figure, he re-
ceives numerous Photographic prints
of clear-cut typewriting. The spirit
pictures are haZy, but the white
typewriting is cleanly cut in the
black background.
Roberts says that as far as he
has knowledge. he is the only one
to receive typewriter messages
and that others who pose and later
receive finished work find that the
messages are in handwriting, ap-
pearing rather irregular and only
partly legible. as though the hand
from which the writing came wrote
at a speed unknown to mortals or
was careless in the extreme.
Prices Vary.
The cost to communicate with
other spheres varies. 1t depends
upon what the spirits communicate.
A long communication, or several
from different spirits. which re-
quires a dozen Photographic prints
so that they. may be read by earth
ly persons. costs about $50. A pair
OF pictures which may or may not
show some visiting spirit with the
one who poses will cost something
under SIS.
Though results. according to Rob-
erts have been. received without
the photographer knowing the
name of the poser, 1t is said better
results are obtained with this
knowledge. Roberts tells Of one
case where an unnamed poser re-
ceived spirit instructions that
Heaven is no intelligence bureau,
and that a name and address are
as necessary in other spheres as
in dealing with the Burleson sys-
tenn with which Americans are bet
ter acquainted. Some times. he de-
clares, 1t Is necessary to send out
a messenger to bring the desired
spirit to the switchboard which con-
meets with the world.
