Agreement Being Arranged With W,
D. Moore, Division Superintend
ent of Plants, Providing for
Employment of All Strikers.
Unless soma unforeseen complica
tion arises, the strike of the elec
trical workers and operators of the
Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Com
pany is practically over. It has in
volved more than 500 girls and 200
men in Portland and large numbers
throughout the Northwest.
Late last night a joint meeting1 of
electric workers' and operators' unions
was in progress at headquarters in the
Selling-Hirsch building, with V. I.
Moore, of Portland, division superin
tendent of plants. In attendance, rep
resenting the company. He had been
Jn Seattle, but made the trip specially.
That they have gained a big victory
and are entirely satisfied with the ad
justment reached through the efforts
of Secretary of Labor Wilson and his
commission on concilliation at San
Francisco, is -the declaration" of the
officers of the locals of the two unions
here.
All to Be Taken Back.
Briefly put. the agreement grants
recognition of the operators' locals as
an additional classification of the elec
trical workers" union, thereby grant
ing to the girls who were out on strike
the right to organize, and. according'
to Frank Walbom, chairman . of the
joint strike committee, every one of
them is to be reinstated by the com
pany forthwith upon acceptance of the
proposal as to recognition and wages
by referendum vote of the Coast locals.
As to wages, he said, the concilia
tion agreement grants 12 per cent
increase, half of what was asked; the
remainder is to become a matter of ar
bitration and is to be adjusted by a
committee to be headed by John E.
Williams, Federal fuel administrator
of Illinois; one member from the com
pany and one representing the Inter
national Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers. Action is to be had within
30 days from the date of acceptance
of the terms by the Coast locals.
Workers Are Pleased.
"We got a much better agreement
than we had expected," said Mr. Wal
bom, speaking for the unions involved.
"Our operators' union is obsolutely
recognized as a new classification of
the electrical workers, the commission
contending that it is not a new crea
tion, but has for some years been or
ganized in various parts of the' coun
try and is not, therefore, outside the
limitations placed upon new organiza
tions by the American Federation of
Labor during war times. It is specific
ally stated in the agreement that every
striking operator is to be reinstated.
We will undoubtedly accept the pro
posal, so far as Portland is concerned.
and the delegates from Seattle, Tacoma
and Everett, when passing through
here today, told me they had no doubt
their locals would do likewise. A vote
Is to be taken in every Coast local
tonight, and If the offer is accepted the
strike is practically over.
Resumption Monday Expected.
Asked as to when he thought the
strikers should be back at work, Mr.
Walbom replied: "By Monday, I should
gay."
While there has been some difficulty
Tvithin the past few days between
some of the strikers and the police, it
is believed that all of this is ended
now, as the unions called off all pick
ets early yesterday afternoon.
"As soon as we received word that
Mr. Moore, representing the company,
iwas coming from Seattle to meet with
us tonight." said Mr. Walbom, "we
called off all pickets."
The strikers asked for 25 per cent
increase in pay and recognition of the
operators union.

Uemonstration at Telephone) Ex
change Calls Out Reserves.
Twenty-three striking "hello girls'
gathered around the telephone ex
change at Park and Alder streets and
refused to move on at noon yesterday
when ordered to do so by Captain
Moore. They were loaded into patrol
wacrons and taken to the City Jail.
They were bailed out an hour later by
E. J. Stack, representing the Central
Labor Council.
Following this police interference in
their activities a large number of other
Kirl strikers gathered about the ex
change and started a demonstration
that caused Captain Moore to call in
all the downtown patrolmen from their
beats and rush them to the scene of
the disturbance, while other policemen
were held in reserve at headquarters
ready to go to any other part of town
at the first sign of another outbreak
Between the time when the first pa
trol wagonload of girls was taken
away and the time the reserve police
men arrived on the scene one operator
who attempted to enter the exchange
was waylaid by the strikers and chased
around the block.
Lucille DuPuy, 21, another strike
breaker, attempting to enter the ex
change, was set upon by Elma Taylor,
20. a striker, and a furious fistic en
counter followed, until Sergeant Wade
and Patrolman Anderson arrested both
for disorderly conduct.
The bail of all strikers arrested yes
terday was placed at $10. Captal
Moore announced to the girls as they
were discharged from jail that here
after, if arrested, they will be held for
much higher bail.
A serious problem confronting offl
cials in connection with the strike sit
uation is that the City Jail is at pres
ent housing a great number of women
of the underworld who are awaitln
trial as the result of the recent vie
clean-UD. and the authorities are loth
to imprison the girls in the quarters
with these women. The police say
there is no alternative, however, if the
girls continue to picket the exchanges
and interfere witn tne BinneDreaKtrs,

Mrs. Mary Vetter, of 665 Ev
erett street, has received word
from her son, William R. Vetter,
pharmacist's mate, who is serv
ing aboard the U. S. S. South
Dakota off the South American
coast. He has applied his three
years' training at the North Pa
cific Dental College by going
into the dentistry branch of the
Hospital Corps, and is serving in
this capacity aboard ship. His
letter carries a note of enthusi
asm throughout:
"We are going into port tomor
row after being at sea for some
time.
"The Admiral put the fleet
through two maneuvers, and it
was the prettiest sight I ever
saw. The ships were handled
just like a squad of men in drill.
About the only thing I didn't
see them do was to turn around
and run. Our Admiral will never
give that command."
Albany Man and State Senator From
Linn and Lane Counties Unde
cided as to Candidacy.
ALBANY, Or., Nov. 24. (Special.)
Without effort or, until recently, even
nowledge on his part, E. D. Cusick, of
this city. State Senator from Linn and
Lane counties, has been receiving quite
"boom" for the Republican nomina
tion for State Treasurer at the elec
tion next year.
Several days ago the Brownsville
Times suggested that Senator Cusick
would make a desirable nominee for
this office and recently the article
was copied in a Portland paper. Pos
sibly other papers in various sections
of the state may have mentioned the
matter, for almost every mail brings
Senator Cusick letters urging him to
become a candidate. Apparently the
suggestion has met with favor In many
different parts of the state.
Senator Cusick has not given the
matter serious consideration yet, and
says he is not ready to answer his
friends' inquiries one way or another,
Whether or not he becomes a candi
date, however, his friends in Albany
feel complimented by the way requests
have been coming in to him to enter
the race. .
Senator Cusick, who is a banker,
served several years as City Treasurer
of Albany and has held various other
positions of trust and honor in his
home city. He is now serving as presi
dent of the Oregon State Bankers'
Association.

Some interesting high lights in fin
ance in which a Socialist orator and
agitator and a. gullible San Francisco
newsDoy are the leading figures, were
brought to light yesterday in Circuit
Judge Tucker's court in the case of
Louise M. Wulf against William J
Hickey, in which the jury returned
verdict for the plaintiff in the sum
of 1800.
The story dates back to February.
1916, when Rev. Michael J. Hickey. a
Catholic priest, died in thi city, leav
ing an estate of $25,000. William
Hickey, a San Francisco newsboy
came across a news item in The Ore-
gonian a short time later in which he
learned that as a nephew of the priest.
he was left a legacy of $5000.
It was at this juncture that Millard
Price, Socialist agitator, made his ap
pearance, according to the evidence
brought out at the trial. By workine
himself into the good graces and close
confidence of the news vendor. Price
procured Hickey's power of attorney
and a contract by which he was to
serve as the newsboy's "confidential
adviser in obtaining his legacy. The
contract, which was introduced in evi
dence, stipulated that Price was to re
ceive $200 a month in salary and all
expenses for his work as confidential
adviser until the estate was closed.
Loans Are Negotiated.
Acting on this power of attorney and
employment contract, the testimony
disclosed that Price brought the news
boy to Portland, where he succeeded
in negotiating a loan of $600 against
Hickey's interest in his uncle's estate.
The testimony further showed that
through promissory notes signed by
Hickey, a "Louise M. Wulf," of San
Francisco lent him $750, taking claims
against the estate as her security.
Both newsboy and Socialist orator
were agreed as to the facts up to this
point, but the lawsuit involves the dis
position of the money obtained from
these loans.
Hickey contends that Price negoti
ated all the loans and received all the
money, with the exception of $100.
which Price gave him. He further
testified that with this $100 he pur
chased from Price a half-interest In a
newstand which did not exist, thereby
losing what money he did receive. He
testified that he had never seen "Louise
Wulf." if such a woman existed, his
contention being that Price worked in
collusion with the Wulf woman to beat
him out of his money.
Plaintiff Not Present.
Although the plaintiff in this action.
Louise Wulf, was not present at the
trial, her testimony being given by de
position only, she is said to run a
boarding-house in San Francisco, bev
eral notes which Mrs. Wulf is alleged
to have held were produced at the trial,
and the jurors based their verdict in
her favor on the appearance of these
notes.
It was brought out in the testimony
and admitted by Price that a part of
the time he was in Portland as the
confidential adviser" of the newsboy.
he went to Seattle, Aberdeen and other
places in Washington, where he
"worked as a Socialist orator during
the strike troubles. He further adV
mitted retaining a part of the money
.secured on the various loans as salary
under his written contract and for his
expenses which the contract stipulated
should be paid.
The estate has not yet been closed
although Hickey's interest in it is in
tact, except for the $1400 in loans now
held against his $5000 interest.

wristlets, socks. Many "over there" are
yet unprovided for.
It was on August 15 Major Murphy
first cabled of the urgent need for
knitted goods. Yesterday the demand
was reiterated. The American Red
Cross has purchased every available
sweater in the market. But those are
only sufficient for the troops about to
leave. Says Major Murphy:
"It is imperative that all the sweat
ers, socks and wristlets that can pos
sibly be made by the women of Amer
ica should be turned into the supply
department as early as possible. The
colld weather is coming on and this has
caused a demand for sweaters that has
taxed our resources."
I. Lowengart, manager of the Red
Cross workroom, issued an appeal yes
terday to every auxiliary in the Port
land chapter to make a grand knitting
effort up to January 1, at least, to
supply the demand.
In the first 20 days of November, the
knitting department. including the
auxiliaries, of the Portland workroom
made 6472 pairs of knitted socks, 385
sweaters, 385 scarfs, 180 helmets, 180
wristlets and 172 pairs of knitted bed
socks.
