Northwest Locals Refuse Re

to San Francisco.
MILITANT LEADERS FIRM
Tacoma, Portland and Spokane Gen
eral Committee, Called to Con
elder Demand, Announce In
- tentlon to Remain Aloof.
TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 7. (Special.)
Telegraphic appeals from officials of
the Electricians' Union in San Fran
cisco today to Tacoma and other .North
western locals asking- that delegates
Sain be detailed to California for con
ference met with prompt rejection at
a, special Joint meeting called today In
the Labor Temple. Other Northwest
ern locals took similar action, accord- j
tng to reports which reached Tacoma.
Kfforts to reopen negotiations with
the telephone company ' and Federal
mediators were forecast In San Fran
cisco requests that the recalled North
western delegates be returned for con
ference. This appeal was first dis
patched to a Seattle session of Oregon
and Washington delegates attended by
C. L Thompson, of Tacoma. The mat
ter was overwhelmingly rejected at
this meeting. Later similar action was
taken' by Tacoma and other locals.
"President Morgenthaler, of the dis
trict council, and L. C. Grasser, vice
president of the International Brother
hood of Electrical Workers, both ad
mitted that our strike was legal." said
Jraes Sutton, of the Tacoma commit
tee, today. "They asserted the strike
"was legal from a technical standpoint
and asked us to return for diplomatic
reasons."
The Seattle committee conference to
day was attended by C. L. Thompson,
Tacoma: Logan L. Dobbs and Miss
Ellen James, of North Yakima: Miss
Ethel Kinsley and W. S, Junkins, of
Portland; Alva Anderson, of. Walla
Walla, and other delegates represent
ing Oregon and Washington locals.
BOTH SIDES HERE ARE FIRM
Move On to Reopen Negotiations
With Telephone Company.
"'Were it not for the pickets who are
out in front of our exchanges, no one
would know there was anything the
matter." said District Commercial . Su
perintendent Halliday, of the Pacific
Telephone & Telegraph Company, yes
terday. "As to the threatened boycott of our
company," he continued, "I have given
It no attention whatever. They may
go before the labor council and ask
for it, but we have paid np attention
to it. As far as we are corfceVned. it is
up to the Federal Labor Commission to
adjust the affair. Further than that,
there is nothing to be said."
That there is a move on to negotiate
further with the company officers In
the Northwest was virtually admitted
by officers ot the Portland local.- of
the electrical workers' and the opera
tors' unions, and It was intimated that
this might be done through Federal
Mediator White, stationed at Seattle.
"We feel absolutely confident that
something will be done soon," said W.
p. Quinn, chairman of the strike com
mittee. "As far as we are concerned,
we are out to stay until the Govern
ment commandeers the company's
plants or until such time as the com
pany grants the recognition of the op
erators' union. We are holding our
members to the fullest extent and are
growing stronger every day. The com
pany's service is getting very bad and
their wires and equipment are going to
pieces, so that it will not be able to
give much of a service very long."
Tonight is the date set for the ex
piration of the ultimatum to the com
pany relative to recognition of the op
erators and the granting of the wage
increase demands made by the work
men, or to suffer the consequences of
a union boycott on their business.
"We shall send our committee be
fore the Central Labor Council tomor
row night to ask that all union mem
bers order their telephones removed
unless the company meanwhile capitu
lates or the Government commandeers
its business," declared Mr. Quinn. "We
very much dislike to do this, but it
appears to be the only way out, as the
company is slow to recognize us and
is too stubborn to recede from Its posi
tion."
Whatever is done relative to settling
the strike in the Northwest will have
to be done at Seattle, it was explained
here. The new district council having
been organized in Tacoma headquar
ters have been established in Seattle and
the work of negotiating will be car
ried on from there.

Striking Operators From Portland
Try to Spread Strike.
OREOON CITY, Or., Nov. 7. (Spe
cial.) A trio of delegates from the
striking Telephone Operators Union at
Portland were here today in an at
tempt to induce the local operators to
join in the strike.
The delegates stated that 600 oper
ators are out in Portland out of a total
of 750, and that the company was fill
ing their places with many former
operators who had married, but who
returned for work, during the strike.
Seattle PJione Strike Conciliator De
clares He Does Kot Kaon What
Power WJleton. Has.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Nov. 7. (Special.)
Henry M. White, Commissioner of Im
migration at Seattle and Federal con
ciliator appointed by Secretary. Wilson
to handle the local telephone strike
situation, denies that he has made
any statement to the effect that Sec
retary Wilson and his board are with
out plenary power in the matter.
"I do not know what powers have
been conferred upon Secretary Wilson,
but I do know that I. as Federal con
ciliator on the local situation, have
no power to confiscate the telephone
system," said Air. White tonight. "It
is true, however, that President Wilson
has power to commandeer property in
connection with the war, but I do not
know what President Wilson's in
structions are to Secretary Wilson in
this matter. I would like to make it
plain that I have not made any state
ment, for publication or otherwise,
dealing with the powers of the board
or of Secretary Wilson."
Mr. White added that while he had
been working on the Seattle case for a
week or' more there was no progress
to report and no settlement in sight
at this time.
Word from Seattle last night waa to
the effect that, while Verner Z. Reed,
who has been handling the -situation in
San. Francisco, had said the board of
which he' is a member had" plenary
powers and could commandeer plants
and order all hands back to work, that
Mr. White had said Congress is the
only body' which could authorize such
a drastic act as conscription of em
ployes. .
Portland members of the Electrical
Workers' and. Operators' Unions stand
ready t return to work immediately
without conditions should the Govern
ment commandeer the plants. When
relations' were estranged between the
Oregon and Washington locals, a new
organization was formed at Tacoma and
it is probable that, the delegates, who
are now in Seattle, will look to Mr.
White for adjudication of their griev
ances against the company, rather than
to Mr. Reed, who is at San Francisco
awaiting the arrival of Secretary of
Labor Wilson, head of the commission
to which Mr. Reed belongs.
Under the new organization of North
west locals," any mediation action, at
least that which may be sought by the
locals in the new district, will be
through some one stationed in this sec
tion of the Coast or who may be sent
here. v
SK.VTTLi: STRIKERS ARE BOLD
Continuance of Trouble Laid to So
cialist Labor Leaders.
SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 7. (Special.)
Striking telephone employes this aft
ernoon paraded through downtown
streets, carrying banners and singing
patriotic songs. They lined up be
fore the offices of the Pacific Tele
phone & Telegraph Company and re
ceived the remainder due them as
wages, after which they dispersed.
At their mass meeting today the
strikers, emboldened by the encourage
ment received from Business Agent De
laney, who had just returned from San
Francisco, sent a telegram to John
Morgenthaler, president of the Pacific
Coast Pistrict Council of the Interna
tional Brotherhood of Electrical Work
ers, demanding that he immediately
transfer his headquarters to Seattle,
which city had become, they said, the
center of strike activities. Morgen
thaler answered immediately that no
such demand would be considered.
Inquiry among the strikers elicited
the statement from many girl operators
that they felt anxious concerning the
defiance of Federal and the highest
union authorities, and were Inclined to
return to work, but that so far none
had been bold enough to return to
work, because they bad to pass a line
of strike pickets who have been sta
tioned in front of the principal ex
changes ever since the strike began.
The continuance of the strike is at
tributed by observers to the continual
efforts of socialist labor leaders in
other unions, who assure the strikers
of better conditions under Government
operation.

near Riddle. Or., July 21, 1916.
Flood's car collided with a machine
driven by W. E. Wells, of Riddle, in
which were riding C. R. Pardee and
his wife. The impact threw Mrs. Par
dee from the machine and she was se
verely injured. With her husband she
sued Flood for $7400.

dent, and that he hurried from the
scene without . giving them his name
or address. The speed at which Flood
was driving his car was set at 40 miles
an hour in the complaint.

BRITISH FRONT IN BELGIUM, Nov.
7. Field Marshal Von Hindenburg's
stern edict that if the Germans lost
Passchendaele village it must be re
taken at all costs had not stirred his
beaten-back troops to action this morn
ing. The intrepid Canadians were still
standing as they had for 24 'hours.
along a line well beyond this vital
point, although rain-drenched and
shivering under the biting Autumn
wind in their muddy fastnesses.
British Positions Strengthened.
Every hour strengthened the British
positions on the front of Passchendaele,
Mosselmarkt and Goeberg, for the work
of consolidation proceeded apace dur
ing most of yesterday and all of last
night.
Passchendaele, whose spires not long
ago showed picturesquely against the
sky from their elevated position, is now
a memory. The little hamlet has all
but disappeared under the deluge of
shells. It was not the village that
counted, however, but its enviable site.
From it one may see a great distance
out across occupied Belgium, and the
possibili teis for artillery work from
here are wide in scope.
(.erman Defenses Threatened.
Its loss threatens the retention by the
Germans of their defenses for many
miles.- Field Marshal Haig and the
Canadians on the spot are watching to
ee what the enemy s next move
may be.
Rain continued to fall today,' render
ing the task of keeping up communi
cations still more difficult, but the
British engineers appear capable of
coping with any situation. Military
movements were proceeding steadily
during the day over .the vile ground
below the ridges.
LONDON. Nov. 7. The Germans made
no effort during the night to regain the
ground captured yesterday on the
Vpres front by the British.
"On the battle front there is nothing
to report except intermittent German
artillery operations," says today's offi
cial statement. "Our troops have been
engaged in consolidating the positions
won yesterday.
Ha Id Is Successful.
"A successful raid was carried out
last night by Liverpool troops north
west of Quean t We captured & few
prisoners."
BERLIN, via London, Nov. 7. In
Flanders there was desperate fighting
yesterday. In the early morning, after
a powerful drumfire, British divisions
advanced to the assault from 1'oelca
pell& to the Ypres-Roulers Railway and
against the heights of Becelaere and
Uheluvelt. -
North of Passchendaele the attack
collapsed under Herman defensive fire.
The enemy penetrated into Passchen
daele. In a hard struggle the eastern
portion of the village was again wrest
ed from him. Towards mid-day the en
emy brought up fresh forces into the
fighting. They were only able to ex
tend locally the point of penetration
near Passchendaele. Our position runs
along the eastern edge of the village.
Destructive Klre Prevents Attack.
An assault directed with strong
forces against the heights of Becelaere
and Gheluvelt was shattered for the
most part before German lines. Such of
the enemy as penetrated the lines were
overcome in hand-to-hand nghtlng
Later our destructive fire prevented an
attack which was being prepared.
Heavy artillery firing on the battlefield
lasted into the night.
With the other armies on the west
ern front there was revival of artillery
activity at many points, which in
creased to great violence, especially on
the east bank of the Meuse and at
times in the Sundgau.
PARIS, Nov. 7. The Germans made
an attack last night on the Verdun
front at Chaume wood. The War Office
announces that the enemy was re

Rome. The Teutons are declared to
have staked . everything on their at
tempt to crush Italy, and the allies
must rush up assistance with the ut
most speed if Cadorna is to check the
enemy.
Of great significance In the Italian
situation and that of the allies gen
erally Is the announced arrival in a
British port of the American repre
sentatives to the inter-allied, confer
ence, which Is to discuss and lay plans
for the successful carrying on of the

as President Wilson's confidential ad
viser, heads the mission.
On none of the other fronts have
there been any engagements of great
Importance. The Canadians are hold-
iug their gains of Tuesday before
Passchendaele without the Germans of
fering serious Interference. On the
greater portion of the remainder of the
Western front there have been only
small encounters, in which the French
obtained the advantage over the Germans.
Gaza, on the Mediterranean Coast In
Palestine, has been captured by the
British, and the column operating north

WAR TAX IS CRITICISED
PROFITS IX ADEQUATELY ASSESSED,
DECLARES HIRAM JOHNSON.
California Seaator Deelarea Preaeat
Revenue . BUI "(Jaacleatlrle, Am
biguous and by No Means Just."
SAM FRANCISCO. Nov. 7. Senator
Hiram W. Johnson criticised the pres
ent war revenue bill as "unscientific
ambiguous and by no means just" in an
address here today before the San Fran
cisco Advertising Club. He made clear
at the outset of his speech his unswerv
ing loyalty to the President in the con
duct of the war, but declared that the
Nation's war profits were inadequately
taxed. Had a levy of 73 per cent been
made upon them. . was proposed in
an amendment which the Senate of
fered, the country would derive from
this source $400,000,000 a year mora
than it would get from the whole pres
ent war revenue bill, he declared.
In this, his first public speech sine
his return from Washington, Senator
Johnson said in part:
"The experience of all wars has
taught us that they must be financed
as far as possible by present taxation.
Of course, such a war as that which
confronts us could not be wholly prose
cuted by taxation and must in neces
sity be carried qn in part by loans, in
part by taxation. but the largest
amount of money consistent with the
least Interruption and injury to busi
ness, it is conceded, should be ralserl
by taxation. We must also realize that
we have undertaken not only to finance
ourselves, but to finance as well every
nation at war with Germany, and that
we have to date assumed liabilities of
approximately twenty-two or twenty
three billions of dollars."

'S HEALTH FIRST
SOLDIERS WHO GO TO FRANCE TO
BE FREE OF Tl'BERClXOSIS.
Oftleera and Men at Camp I.ewln to
Undergo Examlaatlona at Direction
of Lieutenant Marnon.
CAMP LEWIS. Tacoma. Wash.. Nov.
7. The Army of drafted men which
the United States will send to France
will be absolutely free from tubercu
losis, even in latent form. Beginning
in about 10 days officers and men at
Camp Lewis w-ill undergo special ex
aminations by Lieutenant Ray W. Mat
son, of the Medical Corps, and 20 as
sistants. It is expected It will take
two and a half months to complete the
examinations.
Camp Lewis is the first cantonment
where such examinations will be con
ducted, and if it is found necessary
they will be held at all the other can
tonments. "The object is to send an Army to
France that will be absolutely free
frcm tuberculosis," said Lieutenant
Matson, who was a Portland tubercu
losis specialist before he joined the
National Army. "There are casea often
where the ordinary examination does
not reveal the presence of tuberculosis
in latent form and it does not appear
Juntil hardship comes. The Govern
ment does not want to send men to
France, have them break down with
tuberculosis and return to scatter the
disease."
Arrivals of fourth-quota men at
Camp Lewis today - numbered 1147.
From Eastern Washington counties
came 233; San Francisco sent 196, and
other California points 12$, while 498
came from Montana, 31 from Nevada.
65 from Idaho and six from Wyoming.
Mayor William H. Maloney, of Butte,
who accompanied the Montana con
tingent to camp, complained that the
men had nothing to eat on the trip
except corned beef sandwiches
Although the Berlin official com
munication asserts that the Germans
have reached the Llvenza River on the
Venetian plains, along which it had
been expected General Cadorna would
fight a retarding action, it is believed
that this is only in the center and that
the greater portion of General von Bue
low's forces still is negotiating a pas
sage of the Tagliamento or working
its way westward over the flat country.
There has been no indication as to
where the line of Italians retreating
from the hills southward has reached.
Nor is there any information concern
ing where General Cadorna, . reinforced
by the British and French, will make
his stand, but the belief still prevails
that the Piave River will be chosen for
this purpose.
That aid by the allies is required
and in no unstinted measure has been
asserted in semi-official quarters in
WARTIME DUTY IS URGED
Seattle Metal Trades Council Would
Meet Government Demands.
SEATTLE. Wash., Nov. 7. The Seat
tle Metal Trades Council has voted to
adopt and present to the coming an
nual convention of the American Fed
eration of Labor a comprehensive and
constructive plan to meet the Govern
ment's demand for thousands of skilled
mechanics to build ships for war use.
Detaila of the plan have not yet been
worked out. but in a general way they
contemplate that the trade unions shall
as & war-time duty waive technical
objections and co-operate with the
Government in an attempt to train a
war-time army of shipbuilders.
Another step taken by the council
was to go on record in favor of the
creation by the President of a United
States Labor Commission to be com
posed of trade unionists of National
reputation to have immediate control
over war-time labor and to have, as
its special duty, the carrying out of
the labor plan to provide the Govern
ment with shipbuilders, working in co
operation with local labor boards
throughout the country.
The labor commission plan also will
be laid before the 'American Federa
