f tha western Union, refusing; to com

Mr. Konenkamp told tha labor board
taday that 0O telegraphers had been
discharged since Sunday. The situation
la particularly critical on tha Pacific
Coast, he said, where the service Is
badly crippled. In Seattle, ha said. 200
telegraphers have been discharged.
Earlier In the day Mr. Konenkamp
teld the board that the question of a
strike reated with tha men and that he
would go to New York and Chicago to
confer with them. In announcing: later
his compliance with tha request of the
board not to sanction a strike. Mr.
Konenkamp aald the men appreciate
that "this Is not the time to accept
challenges to fight If peace can be had
y other means.
His statement follows:
"The labor members of tha National
War Labor Board hare urged me not
to sanction a strike, d'-splto the attitude
of tha telegraph companies In refusing
to establish a truce between now and
next Wednesday, and I have consented
: to await the decision of tha labor board.
f!abr Board llaa Power.
"The labor members laid stress upon
the necessity of complying with the
Presidents proclamation, even though
ench a course Involves even greater and
mora extensive lockouts than have al
ready taken place, so that It might be
shown to the Nation that labor is loyal
to tha Uovernment at all times.
-la taktnr this step I reallxa that It
will meet with some criticism from our
members who resent the arrogant at
tftude of the ofrt-tals of the Western
T'nlon and Postal Telegraph companies.
The assurance that ' the board has
power to sustain Its decisions, how
ever, will give our people confidence
that their rights will bo recognised."
The Wsr Labor Board adjourned to
night until next Wednesday, with an
announcement by Frank P. Walsh, Joint
chairman with former President Tsff,
that It would take no action In the
controversy antil then.

HE Captain of a big British oil
tank steamer that had been cap
tured and sunk told me the fol
lowing piece of history. I afterwards
verified this and vouch for Its truth:
While tha Wolf was lying- at Sunday
Island, underrolna- ren&lra to her ball.
jers. the prisoners were furnished with
fish hooks and lines and a couple of
Jolly boats snd allowed to go among
the rocks and catch fish. Each boat,
of course, was In charge of an armed
sentry. After fishing they would re
tarn to the Wolf each night.
Ob the night before the Wolf was to
sail two men, the chief mate and first
assistant engineer of the steamship
Turltella, dropped overboard and swam
for shore. Tha next day the Wolf
started as per schedule, and these men
were not missed- for three days. When
their loss was finally discovered there
was a great rumpus, and as a punish
ment all the prisoners were kept below
deck for 2S days, only being allowed on
deck for one hour each day for exer
cise. The British Captain said that
those were the worst days he ever ex
perlenced In his life, and that each
day he and the rest were getting per
ceptibly thinner. ,
"Hell Hole Cleaned Oat-
Just about this' time I got the sign
from the sentry that the prisoner off!
cer wss coming and I had to beat i
retreat. Afterward I found out It was
not the prisoner officer, but the mine
officer. Lieutenant Dedrlck, who proved
to be a humane officer and champion
of the prisoners.
Dedrlck came down below into the
hell hole and got ona good lungful of
the rotten atmosphere and went Im
mediately to the commander and re
ported conditions.
Commander Nerger at once called
both doctors and accompanied them aft
on a tour of Investigation. The next
day everybody was chased on deck and
the hell hole below was cleaned out
and painted and better ventilation ar
ranged for. Also the captured Cap
tains and ships officers were given
quarters for themselves, while the
whites and blacks were separated. On
the whole, conditions for these 200 men
were Improved 100 per cent.
The prisoner officer was confined to
his room for five days for letting such
a condition exist. Nerger had Inspected
these quarters before, but only when
the men were on deck and the place
freshly cleaned out. Personally I do
not think ha knew how bad conditions
were.
Hvdraplaae fsed aa Sewat.
All thla timo we were steaming In a
northerly and westerly direction. When
wo arrived at the southernmost end of
New Guinea we stopped and lay to for
a couple of days. I soon learned that
we were waiting for a steamer and ex
pected her any minute. Muring these
dsrs tha Wolf's hydroplane would, go
np to reeonnotter three times a day.
It would travel (0 or 0 m!ls on clear
days and from a height of 1000 yards It
had a vision for SO miles.
One of ths German aailora told me
that In another day or so we should
have plenty of beer that they had
picked up a wireless messsge stating
that the Australian steamer Matunaa
would soon arrive In Rebul with 600
tona of coal for the Government. 100
tons of foodstuffs, aa many hundred
cases of beer, and so forth.
Sure enough, on the morning of
August 4 1 was awakened by my or

after there was a bang from one of the
cannon and the Matunga stopped. Lieu

on board and took charge. .
In about an hour the launch came
back with the Metunga's captain, Don

to swap parrots, pigs, cocoanuts, sugar

ish colors and queer patterns showing
whales, birds and primitive human fig

at the bargains and) went in strong- for
the fancy mattings, but when tbey got
them aboard found them full of native

These souvenirs for their wives and

over to the "anesthetic department"
and cleaned. For the Wolf had on

DAIRYMEN NOT SATISFIED
City Commission's Proposed Cut In
Trices Disappointment.
Whether milk distributors and dairy
men will comply with the recommen
dation ot the City Milk Commission
appointed by Mayor Baker, to cut the
price of milk halt a cent a quart, is
yet uncertain. They said yesterday
that while they had read of the com- '
mission's recommendations they had
not been officially notified and had not
acted.
The dairymen. It is said, were look
ing for an Increase in price rather
than a cut. Also they say they were
expecting the inauguration of some re
forms to eliminate waste. It is prob
able that representatives of the dairy,
men will confer with the Milk Com
mission today.

Marvelous Duo Art
Requires No Pedaling
In the Duo Art, the air chamber is kept filled with air
without pedaling. This enables the one playing to devote
his entire attention to interpretation, thus making the
instrument a pleasure instead of a labor.
The Duo Art is ideal for Dancing:, as no attention is re
quired after the roll (any make) is inserted. Because of
the superior Tone Coloring, Time Control, and Solo Ac
centing features, the Duo Art dance music is perfect.
The Duo Art is far ahead of all other Players in these
vital features.
1 Tone Gradation having practically twice the number
of Tone Gradations of any other player instrument,
producing perfect "tone color impossible in any
other Player.
2 'rTime" Control which not only regulates the time
but instructs and guides the one playing, assuring the
correct interpretation of the selection.
3 Accenting the Solo bringing out perfectly the solo
(or melody), but at the same time controlling the ac
companiment so that it properly supports the Solo.
4 Simplicity of Construction No complicated' or trouble
some mechanisms, as in other - Players.
5 Reproducing the actual playing of the Great Pianists
with the wonderful Duo Art Rolls, as perfectly as
the Victrola reproduces the voice of Caruso and
other great artists.
There are so many interesting things about the Duo Art.
We cordially invite you to come in to see and hear it.
