CHICAGO, July V 3. J. Konen
Vamp, pt-Ai'dent of the Commercial
Telegraphers union of America, today
announced that ho bad Issued a call
for a st'ike 'or the numbers of the
union cmployd b the Western Union
Pnmnnnv. effective at i A. M. Eastern
time. Monday, july K
The announcement In part follows:
"The strike against the Western
Union Telegraph Company will be ef
fective at 7 A. M.. Eastern time, and
at the corresponding hour of 6 A. M.
Central time, etc., Monday, July 8. Of
.flclal announcement of the time has
been sent to the Order of Railroad
Telegraphers and the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers,
for their information and guidance.
"The grievances to be adjusted are
those set forth in President Wilson's
letter to the Western Union Tele
graph Company as (1) the reinstate
ment of over SOO Western Union em
ployes locked out, contrary to the
terms of his proclamation of April 8,
1918, and (J to enforce the decision
of the National War Labor Board,
dated June 1. 1918.
' "In this letter to the Western Union.
President Wilson asked officials of
that company to co-operate with him
by actepting the labor boards decis
ion. This the company declined to do.
Similar letters addressed to the Post
al Telegraph Company and to your
onion brought forth an expression of
their willingness to comply with his
request
The strike against the Western
Union alone Is necessary because ot
that company's determination to de
stroy our organization. As Americans
we have no desire to be subjects ot
tryanny and this strike will be Justl
fied to the boys at the front because
of its purpose. It is the last resort to
preserve our organization ' from an
amination." President Konenkamp said that he
expected 5000 of the 20,000 commerc
ial telegraphers to quit E. S. Thom
as chairman of the railroad tele
graphers' committee, said that 33,000
of his men wonld be effected. The In
ternational Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers, President , Konenkamp said,
had pledged Its assistance.

BASLE, July 1. Admission that
about 12,000 men in prisoners were
lost by the Austro-Hungarlan forces
in their recent drive on the Piave
front was made by Dr. Alexander
Wekerie, the Hungarian prelmler. in
a speech to the chamber of deputies,
according to a dispatch today. Dr.
Wekrie said this covered the entire
loss in prisoners.
Dr. Wekerie, apparently treating
on the 'question of the Austro-Hun
garlan losses In the recent fighting on
the Italian front said he would not
attempt to disguise the fact that tht
casualties were heavy, totaling about
100,000, but he declared that a large
percentage was due to sickness. He
denied, however, that there had been
a single case of death due to lack of
food.

Oregon City Enterprise
I noticed an article In your papor
written by Wl 'Myers In defense" of
the Socialist party. The Socialist party
It it can be Judged by the conduct ot
Its long established leader cannot
be defended. It U convicted and con
demned by the great American Court
ot public opinion. At the St. Louis
Convention when America had enter
ed the war In defense of immunity,
tor the purpose ot insurtng that, bind
ing treaty be regarded as aoniuthlnit
more than a scrap ot paper, J lie So
cialist party ot America In convention
assembled denounced our government
tor the action taken, refused to pledge
Its allegiance to the government, and
came out for Germany, It this great
evil were done now the chances are
that alt responsible fur It would be
promptly taken rare ot and some ot
them shot for their traitorous oou-
duct.
I am happy to say that all Socialists
are not disloyal. We ran point with
pride to Allan Ilenson, John 8pargo,
and many others aa good loyal Ant
erlran cltlxens, and the significant
thing about It all Is that these now
hnve stepped down and out of the So'
ctallst party and have condemned It
as disloyal. I am not snylns; that the
SoclnUdt party conducted in Clacka
mas county Is disloyal or that all mem
beis thereof are unpatriotic. A great
many ot the members ot the Socialist
party in this county and elsewhere
are loyal American cltliens. and the,
are doing their part to win this war,
and we must honor tbotn for living up
to the principles that they preach.
but at this time no loyat American
citizen can Countenance or defend the
refusal of any man or woman to up
port this government loyally In every
possible way, by buying bonds, war
savings stamps, or otherwise. I have
no use for any Socialist Republican
or Democrat who has denounced our
form of government and criticized its
various features who Is not heart and
soul with- the government at. this
time for the purpose ot crushing out
autocracy and militarism and alt the
great evils that brought this wsr. I
have no time or patience with anybody
who will use his time and talents, and
Intelligence, and influence, ' that he
may hav with an Individual, In mak
ing excuses for not doing his duty by
taking out bonds, stamps or discourag
ing some other obligation that he
owes to the government. Such conduct
cannot be defended. If we have an in
fluence with any Individual we should
see that that Individual does his pat
riotic duty, end if wnmke excuses
for him we encourage others, to follow
his conduct, and we cnrselves are disloyal.

was Indicted for telling tittle boy
to quit selling war stamps, and for
advising them to return the money re
ceived for them and demanding the

Clackamas county put Mr. Meredith
up for oltlce and asked the people to
vote for htm. Would it not have been
better to have waited until Mr. Mered

against him? ts the Socialist party
flounttng disloyalty and treason be

or was the action taken representa

county? It the former is trie this anal
ogy I presented to us; the Socialists
ot liolglum, France, tul Bervta are
making every possible effort to stamp
out an evil one million times worse
than capitalism while the Socialists
ot Clackamas county are running a
man for offlce who la Indicted for the
crime ot doing and abetting the
world's great evil. The Socialist party
cannot clear Its skirts by saying It
was the first party to denounce auto
cracy and militarism unless It takes
a firm stund for our government
against those evils now. This wr has
brought certain things to our notice,
I believe all I. W. Ws. are traitors.
They are enemies or organized gov

failed
After three hours of debate and pre
liminary Jockeying, the resolution was
withdrawn, with a promise that next
week the fight would be forced to a
conclusion. Some of Its supporters,
however, expressed belief that action
might be postponed indefinitely.
Alice Paul, chairman of the Nation
al Woman's party, in a statement to
night charged President Wilson with
responsibility for the failure to secure
a. vote,
"We face this second postponment
only beca:ise President Wilson failed
to work with suffrage earnestness and
determination for the amendment,"
said the statement. "Is his support
mere pretense? The patience of Am
erican women cannot be much longer
taxed."
Charges that unfair advantage was
sought were exchanged by leaders on
both sides.
Opponents asserted 'hat a vote to
day was being demanded because Sen
ator James, of Kentucky, was unable
to be present and could not secure the
customary privilege of 'eing paired.
Managers of the resolution charged
its opponents with filbusterlng to pre
vent a vote because, with Senator
James absent, they lacked votes to
defeat the resolution.
The date next week on which the
resolution will be called up, 8enator
Jones said tonight, depends on clear
ance of appropriation and other bills
In preparation for the recess.
Positive of having a majority of the
Senate, at least, he and other suffrage
leaders declared they could and would
prevent a recess until the resolution
is disposed of and expressed confi
dence of Its final adoption.
Few set speeches on the resolution
were made. Without objection the
Senate debate proceeded until 2 o'
clock, when the Army appropriation
bill automatically was laid before the
Senate. Senator Jones then moved to
set It aside and proceed with the suf
frage resolution.
Senator Reed of Missouri, in the de
bate on the motion, declared refusal of
the suffrage leaders to arrange a pair
for Senator James demonstrated that
''the first fruits of suffrage are to set
aside courtesies and decencies'' of Sen
ate procedure. He then spoke for
nearly an hour and a half, but mostly
dent to take over the lines probably
will be reported favorably by the
hcue . Interstate and foreign com
merce committee this afternoon.
Letters of approval also were sent
by Secretaries Baker and Danfels and
Postmaster General Burleson, whose
opinions had been sought by the com
mittee. . -
