THE BIOKXIXG OREGOXIAN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1907.
GIVE "TWO VERSIONS
Small and Clowry Talk of the
Cause of Strike.
WAS AGREEMENT BROKEN?
Small Says It AVas and Promises
Sensation When Inquiry Held.
Clowry Says Attempt to En
force Closed Shop.
OAKLAND. Cal., Aug. 9. Samuel J.
Small, the National president of the Tele
graphers" Union, was located In this city
this afternoon and submitted to a brief
interview. He was reluctant to say any
thing. He said:
The subject is too delicate to say any
thing about. Mrs. Nlcholls Is. of course.
.he storm center of the strke. and she and
the San Francisco officers of the company
are responsible for what has happened. The
latter have not lived up to the agreement
adopted two weeks ago. "When an Investi
gation Is made, something extremely sensa
tional will come out.
The strike is spreading. We have advices
that the operators in the following cities. In
addition to Los Angeles, are out: Chicago,
Helena, Mont.; Cleveland, Cincinnati, Salt
Lake. Kansas City. Birmingham. Ala.; New
Orleans. Denver, and Butte. Mont. These
represent about 2MK) operators.
Oakland operators want to go out, but
we are holding them back. We expect,
however, that the whole trouble will be
settled in two or three days . ' President
Clowry, of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, will have the facts before him In
24 hours and may settle it at once. I can
not say anything about our demands, for
everything i In a chaotic condition at
' present.
I have nothing to say regarding the walk
out beyond the fact that Mr. Stewart, of the,
Department of Commerce and Labor, arrived
here today and will look Into the San Fran
cisco and Oakland situation. He will Imme
diately get into communication with Com
missioner Charles P. Neill at Washington,
and the whole matter will be adjusted
quickly, provided Colonel Clowry instructs
his subordinates to treat the San Francisco
and Oakland operators humanely.
CLOWRY'S VERSION OF STRIKE
Attempt to Enforce Closed Shop,
AVhlch Company Will Resist.
NEW YORK, Aug. . Colonel Clowry,
president and' general manager of the
"Western Union Telegraph Company, to
day gave out the following statement in
relation to the strike at Los Angeles
and Chicago:
On July 23 an operator at Los Angeles
was charged with maliciously delaying traf
fic. After a careful investigation, which
occupied severat days. It was shown con
clusively that he was guilty of deliberately
obstructing traffic on important circuits;
he was discharged. A petition signed by
other employes of the office, requesting his
reinstatement, was thereupon presented to
the local superintendent and when the signer
were advised that the company would not
tolerate the malicious delaying of ImpjJ
tant messages and that the discharged man
- would not be re-employed, the majority ot
the operating force went ont without no
tice. Operators were sent to take their
places from nearby points, and at 11- o'clock
last night the operators In the Chicago
office employed on the western circuits, act
ing in conformity with resolutions under
stood to have been adopted by the local
union organization, refused to work with the
non-union men at Los Angeles, and. when
this was Insisted upon, they quit work in ft
body.
The -Chicago operators have presented no
grievance and the present movement is an'
attempt to force the closed shop rule, which.
If successful, would take control of the com
pany's affairs out of its own hands, such a
condition, as has been repeatedly shown. Is
inimical to the confidential and responsible
character of the company's relations to the
United States Government and to the public.
OMAHA MEN WIMj NOT STRIKE
Ask Instructions From Small and
Follow Them Implicitly.
OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 9. The telegraph
operators employed by the Western Union
and Postal companies in Omaha will not
strike. A meeting of the leaders was
held this afternoon, following which a
telegram was sent to President Small ask
ing for instructions. A reply was re
ceived later in the afternoon, saying that
conditions were exactly as they were
prior to the San Francisco strike, and
stating that a strike in Omaha would not
be authorized at this time. This reply
settled the matter, so far as the Omaha
union is concerned, and no strike will be
called.
Wireless Telegraph to Eureka.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9. The estab
lishment of wireless communication be
tween San Francisco and Eureka has been
completed and the first message was re
ceived yesterday morning by Alexander
G. McAdie at the weather bureau. Eureka
wired congratulations on the establish
ment of the wireless service.
St. Paul Men Will "ot Strike.
ST. PAUL, Aug. 9. The executive com
mittee of the telegraphers met today and
advised the men to remain at work and
not to refuse to work with nonunion men
in other cities.
El Reno Office Closed Tight.
EL RENO, Okla., Aug. 9. The local
office of the Western Union is closed to
night, the operators refusing to work with
a non-union man out of Kansas City.
Colorado Springs Men Out.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Aug. 9.
, The local force of clerks and operators at
the Western Union office went on strike
this afternoon.
JUST CAN'T HELP WORKING
(Continued from First Page.)
seems even more distressed at what he
considers the danger of losing a good
opportunity to capture the trade of the
world than over the personal phase of
the attacks.
"We are proud of our National sense
of good humor," he remarked. "If we
must have little family jars among our
selves, should we let the outside world
laugh at our angry .faces? Why should
we waste the energy we need to build up
the country In tearing each other to
pieces? If evils have crept in during the
periods of marvelous development since
the Civil War, and it is not impossible
that some few have-crept in, can we not
do away with them without destroying
the whole fabric? Admitting, for the Bake
of argument, that the business world is
a patient that needs treatment, must it
be said of the results that the operation
was sucoessful, but the patient died?"
Mr. Rockefeller was asked why he
did not run away from the hue and
cry that pursued him. He laughed.
"Perhaps because my favorite music
is "Yankee Doodle,' " he suggested.
Then more gravely:
"i suppose I might have converted
my interests into gold at one time and
have taken my money to England or
some pleasant part of Europe where
life is organized to make things com
fortable for the man with money to
spend. But, do you know that way
of escape from the responsibilities and
embarrassments that wealth brings to
an American never occurred to me?
The United States cannot develop
enough drawbacks to make me lose the
feeling that there is no place like,
home, and this is home in what I firm
ly believe is the greatest country In
the world."
LIABLE TO MONSTER FINES
Federal Jury In New York Indicts
Railroads for Giving Rebates.
JAMESTOWN, Aug. 9. Convictions on
all the counts of the indictments re
turned today by the Federal grand jury
for Western New York would render four
corporations liable to fines aggregating
J18.24O.000.
Judge Hazel received the report late
today from the jury's investigations of
the Government's .charges against the
Standard Oil Company, the Vacuum Oil
Company, the New York Central and the
Pennsylvania railroads of giving and of
receiving special and illegal concessions
on shipments of oil from Olean, N. Y.. to
points in Vermont.
STANDARD APPEAL ALLOWED
Government Wants Bond Eo.ual to
line, but Octopus Objects.
CHICAGO. , Aug. 9 The attorneys for
the Standard Old Company today filed
the company's assignment of errors in
the United States District Court. They
then went before Judge Grosscup in the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals
and made application for an appeal, a
writ of error and supersedeas.
The Standard Oil attorneys contended
that the supersedeas should be granted
upon a bond no larger than sufficient to
cover the costs. It was claimed by the
Government, however, that the bond
should be fixed at 129.240.000. the amount
of the fine imposed by Judge Landis, in
order to secure the Government pending
a stay of execution in the Judgment. The
assignment of error contained 116 cita
tions, in which Judge Landis is said to
have erred in his decision during the
trial.
Judge Grosscup allowed the writ of er
ror. Action upon the writ of supersedeas
was delayed pending the determination of
the amount of the bond the company Is
romilred to file. The attorneys were di
rected to inform the court of the finan
cial responsibility of the company.
How They Would Do In Ireland.
NEW YORK, Aug. 9. The Right Hon.
Lord Chief Justice of Ireland, Baron
Palles, who has arrived here for a visit
to the Adirondacks and Canada, in speak
ing of the Standard Oil Company's fine,
recently imposed, said:
"If the Standard Oil fine had been im
posed in Ireland, the Standard Oil Com
pany would either have to pay the J29,240
000 fine at once, or, if they appealed the
case, the appeal would have to be heard
and decided without delay. If the decis
ion was sustained, we would collect the
fine on a judgment immedlatly. We
would hardly tarry as long as they do in
the American courts before making the
Standard Oil Company pay up."

THE DAY'S DEATH RECORD
Michael C. McDonald, Chicago.
CHICAGO, Aug. 9. Michael C. McDon
ald, for many years a leading politician
and a prominent gambler, died today.
The murder of Webster . S. Guerln by
McDonald's wife recently had a strong
effect in breaking him down. He left an
estate valued at several million. The
lifelong friends of McDonald were as
tonished to learn after his death that he
at one time had become a member of the
Jewish faith.
James Hamilton Lewis, the attorney
in charge of McDonald's affairs, said that
after McDonald had secured a divorce
from his first wife, who left him for a
priest, he could not marry the second
Mrs. McDonald, who is a Jewess, until
he had embraced the Jewish faith. Prior
to his death, however, he returned to the
Catholic faith and church and was con-
icsara Dy ratner Maurice j. uerney, a
Catholic priest of this city.
a contest between the first and second
wives of McDonald for the bulk of the
estate Is expected. The second Mrs. Mc
Donald is to be tried in October for the
murder of Guerln. McDonald In his will
provided expenses for her defense.

graph operators employed in Greater New
York by the two companies, the telephone
companies and the brokers. What pro
portion of these would be involved in a
strike directly or through sympathy is
problematical..
An effort to maintain connections with
the West will be continued today by both
companies.
Postal Will Fight to Finish.
The Postal people will also fight, it
was officially stated tonight. At mid
night Vice-President Charles C. Adams,
of the Postal Company, who was at his
Broadway office, said:
This time it is going to be a fight to tha
finish. Not only have 175 men walked out
in Chicago, but In New Orleans men without
a moment's warning notified our manager
there that they. too. had Joined the strike.
Their action was unjustifiable and unwar
ranted. At 7 o'clock tonight. Eastern time, our
Chicago general superintendent, W. I. Ca
pen. was told by the men that they were
quitting, and he immediately made arrange
ments to fill their places. In spite of
the trouble, four wires are now working
between here and that point. It was Just
two hours later that I got word of the
New Orleans walkout. We are still taking
messages for that section, but subject t3
delay
This is purely a sympathetic strike. There
is absolutely no grievance whatever that the
operators have against the company. We
will make no concessions this time. This
thing will be fought to the end by us.
Night Manager Robinson, of the West
ern Union office here, said late tonight
that the company had eight or ten wires
working to Chicago.
KANSAS CITY IS STRUCK HARD
All but Twenty Western Union Men
Leave Keys.' '
KANSAS CITY, Aug. 9 Practically all
of the 330 Western Union telegraph and
Wheatstone operators in this city struck
today because the company Insisted on
some of them working with the Chicago
office, which is declared to be unfair to
the telegraphers' organization. The check
boys also went out. The day force at the
main office, consisting of 160 telegraph op
erators and 16 Wheatstone operators, left
their work at 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
Most of the night operators failed to re
port for duty at S o'clock, the regular
hour of going to work, and the others,
with one exception, who appeared at the
office as usual joined the strikers as soon
as they understood the situation.
Only a few of the wire chiefs and three
woman operators remained loyal and
made strenuous efforts to move the busi
ness, which soon became demoralized. The
operators employed at the Board of
Trade, the stockyards and the Union Sta
tion and the various branch offices
throughout the city left their keys dur
ing the afternoon, -with the exception of
one operator at the stockyards. At all of
these points much confusion resulted from
the strike, and the big wholesale railway
and other business concerns were seri
ously affected.
The executive committee of the local
Telegraphers' Union was in session for
several hours tonight, formulating de
mands which will be presented to the
Western Union Telegraph Company after
being revised and approved at a general
meeting of the operators tomorrow morn
ing. The nature of the demands will not
be given out before they are presented
to the telegraph company.
In all, the company had about 13- oper
ators at work day and night.
SALT LAKE OPERATORS OUT
Discharge of One Man Is Signal for
' General Strike.
SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 9. Tha entire
force of operators. S8 in number, walked
out at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon, follow
ing the refusal of Manager A. W. Long
to reinstate R. W. BarUett, wno was dis
charged this morning for refusing to
work the Salt Lake-Chicago wire, Bartlett
declaring that the Chicago Western Union
office was unfair. Two non-union men
went out with the members of the union.
Only Mr. Long- and Chief Operator Mo
Donald remain at work.
Business that came in subsequent to
the walkout was accepted subject to
delay. Among the strikers are three wom
en. The messenger boys, check girls and
clerks remain on duty.
Much of the overflow from the Western
Union Is finding its way to the Postal
Telegraph office, where extra men have
been hired and the wires are being
worked to their full capacity. The Postal
employes have not been required to work
the Chicago wire and messages to that
point are being sent to adjacent towns
and mailed into the big city. Manager
McNicol, of the local office, tonight ex
pressed the opinion that the differences
with the Postal would be confined to
Chicago, but he admitted that he would
not be surprised if the strike ultimately
involved every company and every wire.
It Is understood that the Salt Lake op
erators will ask that other grievances
shall be adjusted before they return to
work, even though the demand that they
work with "unfair offices" be withdrawn.
DENVER MEN FALL INTO LINE
Demands Follow Refusal to Work
With Nonunion Men.
DENVER. Aug. 9. At 2:15 this after-.
noon the entire complement of operators
of the local office of the Western Union
Telegraph Company went on strike. X
total of 83 men walked out. The Western
Union Company is now completely tied
up in this part of the country. The men
were asked to do business with nonunion
offices. Including Chicago, Butte and Los
Angeles, and refused.
The grievance committee of the West
ern Union telegraphers met this morning
and prepared a demand, which later In
the day was served on C. O. Blandln. as
sistant superintendent of the company,
who is In charge of the local office during
the absence of S. E. Leonard. The men
asked that the pay of the first men be
plaoed on the same basis as the Chicago
operators. This means an advance of
J5.S0 a month, from $77 to J&2.50. They
ask for an eight-hour day for the day
operators instead of a nine-hour day, as
at present, and! for a seven-hour day for
the night operators Instead of seven and
one-half hours.
A reply will probably be delayed until
Superintendent Leonard, who Is at Grand
Junction, returns to Denver.
Late this afternoon the grievance com
mittee representing the Postal operators.
presented a demand for a 25 per cent in
crease In wages, an eight-hour day for
day operators and seven and one-half
hours for night operators. Superintend
ent Black being out of the city and not
expected back until tomorrow, action on
the demand was deferred until his ar
rival.
HELENA OFFICE IS SILENT
All Walk Out When Han Is Ordered
to Chicago Wire.
HELENA, Mont., Aug. 9. The entire
force of the local Western Union office
went on strike today, with the exception
of the chief operator and . his assistant.
The strike was due to the tnarking oft
of an operator who declined to man the
Chicago wire at the request of the traffic
chief. Electrician Kissinger, of the Chi
cago office, called for a receiver and one
of the regular men was directed to the
wire, which position he refused to accept.
on the ground that Chicago .was a non
union office. Before the chief operator
could request anyone else to man It the
rest of the force, numbering about 40 men.
Joined the discharged operator as he left
the room, and all wires are now silent.
NEILL'S .DEPUTY INTERCEDES
Inquires Into Los Angeles Strike
Postal Men May Join.
LOS ANGELES. Aug. 9. Settlement of
the local telegraphers' strike, upon which
the walkouts in other cities are more or
less directly based, tonight appears no
nearer than when the men left their keys.
Assistant-General Superintendent Miller
of San Francisco arrived this afternoon.
Bthelbert Stewart, representative of
Charles P. Neill, United States Commis
sioner of Labor, will, it is reported ar
rive in this city tomorrow afternoon. Mr.
Miller stated that he would immediately
go over the local situation with Mr. Stew
art. At the same time Mr. Miller stated that
the company now has a force of 40 opera
tors and is handling all business to its
entire satisfaction. The men at work
were reinforced today by the arrival of
ten operators from San Francisco.
The Striking operators today held an
open meeting, at which It was decided to
invite the attention of Labor Commis
sioner Neill to the details of the situation.
which they have described as intolerable.
Late this afternoon it was stated that
the operators in the local office of the
Postal Company were disaffected and that
a walkout there might occur if present
differences were not adjusted . within a
day or two. The trouble originated In
the discharge of two operators.
"I have heard nothing further from the
men since their committee called yester
day when I was out." said Super
intendent Lamb. "The only way for Mr.
Ryan to take up his case and end the
cause of the present trouble is to do so
through the regular channels. I will con
sider his case and an lnjusitce has
been done, I will correct it. The men
who are out can return to work and I
will then take up Mr. Ryan's case, or If
they will return to work I will receive
a committee from them and discuss the
case of Mr. Ryan. I will not, however,
treat with the men until after they return
to work. They are not our employes, as
the matter now stands.
Replying to a telegraphed statement of
Mr. Miller to the effect that tne tele
graphers were smarting under the recent
defeat in San rancisco and Oakland and
were striking out of spite, one of the
leaders of the local operators, who are
out, said today:
"We are not smarting and were not de
feated. If they call their broken faith
and breach of agreement defeat then let
them claim It. "We won a victory in San
Francisco. Miller knows that he and his
understrappers are doing all they can
to violate our signed agreement with the
company.
"Lef me warn him a;.d other Western
Union officials that the signature of a
"United States official is on that agree
ment and the Government has promised
to see that we get a square deal. Broken
faith at San Francisco, un-American and
tyrannical tactics in harassing Los An
geles men, determination to goad us to
desperation, are the causes of this strike.
The whole country may yet be involved.
We will fight to the las', uitch."
FIGHT REACHES NEW ORLEANS
Postal Men Quit When Operators
Are Discharged.
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 9. Trouble
developed at the Postal Telegraph of
fice In this city tonight, when an op
erator refused to work the Chicago
wire. He was immediately suspended
by the wire chief and the company's
local officers tried to settle the matter
If possible.
At the Western Union office an extra
operator who was ordered to make re
lief on the Chicago wire refused and
was discharged. The union operators,
however, did not make an Issue of the
matter because the discharged opera
tor was an extra man.
The Postal Telegraph operators have
not met Superintendent Porteus, but
they declared a strike because several
operators were discharged for refusing
to work the Chicago wires. Mr. Por
teus said he was making preparation
to fill the strikers' places.
