WIRELESS MEN ON
 SHIPS NOW STRIKE
British Radio Operators Want
 More Money

London, Nov. 27 tPl-The strike Of the wireless operators on British vessels. which was called yesterday, threatens seriously to affect ship. ping In the course of a few days. The strike was ordered as a protest against a proposed cut in the salar- les Of the operators of about s6 per month.
 Although some 5000 members of ,he wireless telegraphist union are involved by the strike, cessation of work. if there is no settlement of the dispute, will be gradual as 1t is understood existing contracts will not be broken and the men who signed for voyages before Novem her 26 will fulhll their engagements. No further contracts by the opera . tors are 10 be signed. however, and it is estimated that 600 of them will leave their posts before the end Of the present week.
 The dispute between the shipping companies and the operators arose over the decision of the former 10 reduce the wages of the operators 22 shillings pence monthly beginning December 1. They justified the cut by the contention that ships officers already have accepted a similar re- duction. The wages the operators start at about $40 per month and rise to about Sl00 monthly.
 Many ships will sail according to schedule at the weekend. They will include the Berengaria and other Cunard liners. There is some uncer- tainty as to how far the strike will hold up shipping even If it becomes general. All ships above 1900 tons are required to carry operators, but during the strikes of 1920 and 1922 the regulations were waved, in some cases on condition that passengers be informed that there was no radio operator on board the vessel on which they sailed.

MRS. FERGUSON IS
 KEEPING SILENT
Gives No IntimatiOn of Her
 Plans in Texas Row

Austin. Texas. Nov. 27 tF --- Tho Texas capital, after q Thanksgiving respite with Governor Miriam A. Ferguson out of town, today re sumed it's watch for developments in the deadockod situation in "hich the woman governor and members of the legislature arc a. odds on the question of a special session of that body for invcsuga- ton of stato lepartments.'
 Governor Ferguson, admittedly guided by the counsel of her hus* band, former Governor James E. Ferguson, still is silent regarding the peremptory resolution address ed to her few days ago by half A hundred legislators demanding q special assembly. She has until De rnmber 10 to convoke the legisla- ture. After that it will be lip to Speaker Lee SnIterWhitC of the house of represent atives 10 execute his threat 10 call the session him self December Ia, 10 meet January I. 19?6.
 Speculation in the capital is con- r"rncd with whether Mrs. Ferguson
New Britain herald., 1925-11-27

will remain silent and allow the speaker to carry out his avowed intention and thus gain the advan- tage of the law providing that speakers call can be only for i'm. peachment purposes, The statutes provide that the governors call limits the activities of special session 10 whatever Is designated by the executive.
 In the legislators petition 10 the governor, they asked her 10 call the assembly to tighten restrictions on the highway department, in their petition 10 the speaker to be used as final resort, the reason for the session was given as impeach. ments' and investigations. Governor Ferguson's inaction is interpreted to mean that she does not fear any action a session called by the speaker might take
 An event expected to affect the current Of the situation is the re- port of the Travis county grand jury scheduled for tomorrow. An pearance of two deposed highway commissioners this week before that body followed close on the heels Of the states successful suit to cancel alleged irregular road contracts let by the highway com. mission, which has been the storm center Of the present controversy.
 The candidacy of Mrs. Edith Williams, former state representa- tive of Dallas. for governor in the 1928 democratic primary. has given rise to speculation as to Governor Terguson's intentions re- garding probable second term. Thus far Ma" has given no indi- cation as to whether she will again be candidate.
 With the question of the special session hanging fire, another suit involving alleged discrepancies in highway contracts looms in the off ing. Attorney General Dan Moody will return Sunday night from Washington 10 fight a state case against the Hoffman Construction company. seeking to halt payment of s351,0o0 in contracts and to re- cover S10o,o0O alleged excess profits.
