Attendance is Surprise"
Local officials of the Union de-
clared the large turnout at the
meeting Friday at the Uline Arena

secretary of the District Federation

estimated that attendance was 5000
and only one man in his local failed
to leave his post during the walk
out. Some workers, he said, did not
show up at the meeting, but they
left their jobs.
He said the extent of the walkout
was particularly significant when
you consider that most of the en-
ployes have long service records with
the company (the Chesapeake 81 Po-

tween strikers and police officers
in which Is or more men and wom-

Some 400 or 500 pickets ranged

they must remain at least 10 feet
apart and feet from the entrance.
Herbert Sonell, head of the AFL

Phone Union Leader
Denies Pay Question
Is Part Of Dispute

A vigorous denial that wage in
crease appeals or wage disputes
are involved in projected strike
vote by telephone workers was
made last night by ]. A. Beirne,
president of the National Fedora
ton of Telephone Workers.
Fundamentally" he declared in
a broadcast over station WWDC,
"the issue between the telephone
workers and the National Labor
Relations Board is whether the
telephone unions in the country
are going to be subjected to per-
sistent prosecution on company
domination charge while their or
ganization rivals, the AFL and the
CIO are to be granted immunity
from such charges.
Mr.. Beirne's denial that pay was
involved in the dispute which
caused a four-hour Nation wide
telephone tieup Friday was made
after the Associated Press reported
from New York that Henry Mayer,
counsel for the Federation of Long
Line Telephone Workers, an
nounced that demands for 80 per
cent increase would be incorporated
in a strike vote notice.
Not Debating Issues.
Mr.. Mayer, informed of the
Beirne broadcast, said:
II am not debating the issues
with Mr.. Beirne because I have no
argument with him. He alone can
speak with authority for the Ma
tional Federation of Telephone
Workers. I am speaking for sew
eral telephone labor organizations
some of which are afflliated with
the NFTW and others not affiliated
II know that there is a seething
demand for the correction of wage
conditions in the Bell system-that

have ANYTHING to do with the strike

The strike vote notice will be
filed for telephone workers within
Is days with the NLRB, the Wal
Labor Board and the Department O.
Labor, Mr.. Mayer declared. Unde,

loting cannot begin until 80 day,

Intervention by Truman
Requested in Film Strike

By the Associated Press.
White House intervention in the
California motion picture strike
was sought yesterday by Repre-
sentative Patterson, Democrat, of
California.
Mr.. Patterson reported he had
telegraphed President Truman an
appeal to intervene "in the name
of human decency."
The message spoke of the 'in-
excusable inability" of the National
Labor Relations Board ito make
a decision"
THE Wagner Act is in jeopardy,
people are receiving bodily injury,
an entire industry has been dis
rupted," Mr. Patterson said.

From kadiak we are next led
 to review the settlement of Wood
 island opposite, where l56 people are living in l3 frame and log houses and s barrabaras. They are engaged in sea-otter hunting during the summer, and cutting up and storing ice in the winter.
 Here are kept the only equines of the Territory-as many as 20| or 30 head; and they also have
 the only road in the Western Territory worth mention, One| running around the island l2 cd Is miles in length, made princi1 pally with a view of exercising the horses aforesaid in the sum mer time when they have no ice| to haul. They also have a small ship-yard here, where little yes sells of 25 and 30 tons are buili for fishing and trade.
 "In all Western Alaska but one small sawmill IS known tC
 exist, which is on Wood island Saint Paul, Kadiak. This mil| was first set up to supply saw dust for packing ice, but sincd the collapse of that industry (Ed. note: due to introduction ol artificial ice) it's operations hayd been spasmodic and not wortt mentioning"

makes a low bow, fills the saucer to the brim, and literally throws the rum down his throat, and so quickly that not drop falls to the ground. Replacing his cap, after making a second bow, he walks of, bearing on his counten- ance a smile expressive of full satisfaction. In a few moments, the kettle, which holds about 5 gallons, is empty, and second kettle is brought out to complete the ceremony"
 George Davidson, U. s. Coast Survey, described the ice indus try, also. "The ice lake is about 500 yards from the shore and nearly surrounded by wood, so that the spray from the ocean beach does not reach it. It is partly artificial, having been in creased in area and depth by a dam l6 feet high, which gives the lake an extent of 2200 feet by 700, and a depth of p feet.
 "The surplus water drives an over-shot wheel giving motion to a sawmill. The ice crop comes to maturity by December; the cut ting commencing when there is l2 inches thick O. clear, solid ice, and ending in February when it has generally increased to is inches. The cold is uniform aud the ice has not been known to make more than 1 and a half inch per night, although the temperature has been recorded as low as IS degrees below zero during the last 5 or 6 years"
 The final picture of the Wood Island establishment, according to Mir. Keithahn's article, was that of Ivan Petroff in 1880, quoted as follows:

 1853, for the purpose of shipping ice from Sitka and other points to California. The ice industry fiourished on Woody Island for many years.
 Here is one description of Woody (Wood) island, described as of June, 1872;
 "Wood island, the depot of the Sitka Ice Company at Kodiak is low and covered with a dense growth of fir. From the centre of the island a small stream runs toward the coast, which has been damned in several places, form ing large ponds of pure, clear water. The ice is cut in the usual manner, and stored for the San Francisco market. The ice-houses are large and well built, and are said to have capacity for 10000 tons. The company owns A num- Der of vessels, and employs dur ing the winter from l50 to 200 men, who receive about 20 cents per diem, their food, and a drink of black rum. During the sum mer, the men are employed in hunting and fishing and the wo- men assist in cleaning and pack ing cod6sh.
 "A large village of Aleuts, of the same tribe as those on Kod- iak, is located near the com pany's headauarters. Their hous- es are not SO well built as those of their neighbors, being merely large holes in the ground, cover ed with q roof of timber. The church, recently erected by the company, has a bell, and is crowded with natives every Sun day. At noon, when the bell strikes, the workmen, all warmly clad in European costume, flock from all quarters for their ration of vodka, or black rum. A large iron kettle, with n shallow saucer chained Co the edge, is brought out of the house and placed in front of the door.

SMYRNA AND VICINITY

]. Harry HURT, Jr., has taken
the agency for the Rambler,
Wynnewood and Crescent bicycles,
the most popular wheels on the
market.
The reckless driving through our
streets, often by people who do not
care, but sometimes by persons
who come from elsewhere and do
not know of the ordinance against
fast driving, is likely to be damag-
ing to pedestrians as well as other
teams. This disregard was par
ticularly shown last Wednesday
when so many were returning from
Woodland Beach. The most of the
teams went quietly through, but
there were some young men, pre-
sumably from their boisterous
manner under the influence of
ardent spirits, who were anything
but decorous or lawful. In one
case in particular of this kind two
young men came tearing up Com
merce street overtaking "Gardy"
Anderson. The latter in his effort
to pull out of their way, ran into
carriage hitched at the sidewalk
near the hosiery factory with such
force as to PROSTATE the horse and
pitch the young lady who was
with him over the wheel. Both
carriages were somewhat broken
but the young lady fortunately was
not seriously hurt. The young
men were not known, except they
drove light colored horse, and
did not stop to see what damage
they had caused.

boy it affords nothing but amuse-

that community were so annoyed
by the one which came here last
