Conflictlng Statements Regarding
Strike Are Made By Strikers
and Company Officials
NEW ORDER ISSUED
President Clowry of Western Union
Say Business Will Re Accepted
Without Delay.
New York, July 2. President
Clowry of tho Western Union Com
pany today sent a message to the
superintendents at New York, Chi-
cago, Atlanta and San Francisco stat
ing that the notice to accept business
for San Francisco and Oakland sub
ject to delay Is withdrawn. He says
that Superintendent Jaynes reports
that business is moving at San Fran
cisco and Oakland without delay;
that ten out of the thirteen branch
offices have been reopened and nine
of the strikers havo been reinstated
upon their individual applications.
San Francisco Phases.
San Francisco, July 2. "Tho
strike is over," said Superintendent
Storror of tho Postal Telegraph
Company, today.
"The strike is over," said Super
intendent O'Brien of the Western
tfnlon office In the Ferry building.
"Tho strike is just begun," said
President Small, of the Commercial
Telegraphers' Union.
These threo laconic statements ade
quately describe the attitude of the
opposing parties and give a hint as
to future action. Although the offi
cials of both companies In San Fran
cisco aro subordinates and could not
of their own prerogative take any
steps toward a settlement, it is not
thought likely any such stops will bo
taken while tho local officials report
they are handling business without
unreasonable delay.
The oporatoi'B, on tho othor hand,
state thoy will carry on the fijht,
ovon If the conipiutles find a man
or every key, and they declare they
are prepared to stay out six mouwi3
If necessary. Their lcadors, however,
say they expect to win In much loss
time. President Small prophesied
that "lightning" would soon strike i)j
an unoxpocted place, but did not ox
plain his remarks.
The Postal Telegraph Cable Com
pauy has taken the position right
along that It was not involved in the
controversy which the Western
Union Telegraph Company is hnvli.g
with its employees. Edward J. Nnlly,
vlco president and general manager,
has given out tho following state
ment ns to his company's attitude:
"I wish to say for tho Postal Tele
graph Cable Company, that the state
ment to tho offect that this company
refused to consider requests or coin-
tilnlnta frnm I1h omnlnvfH nllhnr In.
divldually or as committee, is eu-j
tlroly untrue. We have always beon
very glad to meet any of our em -
ployes and to consldor any matter
- ...,..,, ..... ..
which they might caro to presont.
"For instance, our Chicago om
ployes recently made application tor
a still further Increase of wages. In
asmuch as wo Increased tho wa-jes
of operators, chief operators, and
managers 10 per cent on March 1st,
and on April 1st, gavo the chief oper
ators an additional Inoreaso, and on
W&SItSSi&s r. "
William- in Philadelphia Ledaer.
the same day -we increased the sal
aries of our clerical force, we did not
feel justified in making still further
Increases. We explained to them the
reasons why.
"On June 12th, I wrote a letter on
that subject to our general superin
tendent in Chicago, Mr. Capeu, us
follows:
"Please say to the employes whoso
names are signed to the communica
tion of recent date, addressed to you,
and which you forwarded to mo with
your letter of June Gth, that wo aro
unable at this time to give favorable
consideration to their request for
shorter hours and increased, wages.
we nave already done ail we can
afford to do. Wo cannot, in justice
to the company's interest and with
business prudence, do more.
"If in the list of minor grievances
submitted thero are any that call for
attention and consideration, I shall
be glad to have yours and Mr. Car
roll's recommendation as to what you
think should be done In each case.
Vlf thero are any rules in force
which may at timo3 work a hardship
upon our omployes, wo should do our
utmost to remedy them. Great care
should be exercised to prevent under
chiefs and others from unfair en
forcement of rules and regulations
and from unjust discrimination and
unkind treatment of the force.
"It is the earnest desire of the
management that all our employes
shall be treated with consideration
and that every reasonable and proper
offort be made to insure their health
and comfort."
MAYOR LANE VETOES.
Will Not Sanction Tunnel Franchise
to Railroad.
Portland, July 2. Mayor Lane
yesterday vetoed the franchise ordi
nance passed by the city council
granting tho Oregon & Washington
Railroad Company tho privilege of
constructing a tunnel under tho pen
insula. In disapproving this ordi
nance Mayor Lane points out that
the ordinance givos the railroad com
pany a perpetual franchise, with no
restrictions. He further objects to
tho measure for the reason that, al
though it contains a common user
clause, thero is not provided in the
ordinance any right of access or
ogress from tho tunnel to such other
companies as may desire to make use
of the property.
The Oregon & Washington pro
moters asked for tho franchise In
order to boro a tunnel through the
peninsula, reaching tho lower ground
on tho bank of tho Columbia rlvor.
The tunnel was to bo used by tho
Orogon & Washington, which is the
Union Pacific oxtonslon from Port
land to tho Puget Sound.

San " 'Vim Trl 2. Tho trial
of Louis GlassMOAbeon postponed
another weok nt tho request of tho
prosecution. To test tho validity of
tho tenuro of acting Mayor Gallagher
tho District Attorney is planning a
move that will brlnK out tho merits
of tho position assumed by Mayor
Schmitz. By arrangement tho treas
urer will bo presonted with an order
signed by Gallagher. Bantell will
refuse to pay it unless signed by
Schmitz. Upon his refusal, Bantell

will determine the matter definitely.!
Two Carloads of Giant Powder 'How
Up Windows Shnttered,
Wires Down.
Salt Lake City, July 2. Two car
loads of giant powder standing on a
side track of the Oregon Short Line
at Beck's Hot Springs, five miles
from here, exploded today Jarring
heavy building in this city and caus
ing considerable excitement for a
time. No ono was killed, but two
men were injured.
The local passenger train on the
Oregon Short Line was due about the
time of the explosion, and owes its
escape from destruction to the pres
ence of mind of the engineer, who
saw the burning car ahead. The en
gineer reversed his train and drove it
backwards at full speed. It had
gone a quarter of a mile when the
explosion occurred imc every window
in the train was shattered and pas
sengers were thrown from their seat3.
Telephone and telegraph communica
tions to the north and west were cut
off and every pole in the neighbor
hood went down. The window panes
of every house for two miles in every
direction were smashed.
ELECTRICS COMPETE.
Trolley Line Promoters Antagonists
of Steam Roads.
Chicago, July 2. Should the rail
roads persist in their present plans
for refraining from all extensions
save those already begun, when they
get ready to start out on a new build
ing campaign, they may find their
field already occupied and formidable
competitors bidding for tho traffic.
Promoters of electric lines are ex
ceedingly busy these days, and as ex
perience is gained in the construction
and operation of these channels of
transportation, ther possibilities as
freight as well as passenger carriers
are being developed mote and more.
It may ultimately appear that they
are to be the means through which
the oxlsting traffic congestion, which
the steam roads have shown their
inability to cope with, is to find re
lief. Texas furnishes at the present time
a striking example- of what is being
done in this direction. The rapid
settlement and development of that
State is calling for more rapid multi
plication of the means of transit than
tho steam roads aro ablo to supply,
and tho building of electric lines 4s
going on at an exceedingly rapid
rate.
TYPO GETS DAMAGES.
Seattle, Wash., July 2. A jury in
tho federal court tonight returned a
verdict for tho plaintiff in the sum
of $2,500 in tho case of D. E. John
son versus Seattle Typographical
Union, No. 202. Johnson alleged
that In October, 1005, ho was forced
to quit work as a linotype operator In
Seattle because he broko some rule
of tho union, and bolng unable after
that to obtain employment was forced

non-union ofilco, Ho charges tho
local union with conspiracy a.ad re
counts tho injurlos ho believes re
sulted to him from the humility and
boycott to which ho was subjected.
He nskod for $30,000 damages.
In Its dofeiise tho Typographical
union disclaimed any Intention of

Itinerant Umbrella Men
Away In Nick of Tii
Marshfiefd Me,
WOMAN INSENSIBLE
Recovered Consciousness Only After
Being In Mnrshllcld General
Hospital Several Hours.
R. McKinsdiey, an umbrella mon-
dor, yesterday morning about 8
o'clock while partially under the In
fluence of liquor beat and kicked his
wife into Insensibility and would
probably have killed her had it not,
been for Thomas Guffey and F. H
Sailing, who were near by at tho
timo, coming to tho prostrate wo
man's assistance.
Kinsdley has been in Marshfleld
but a short time and has been camp-.
ing near the cemetery, where tho
assault took place yesterday morn
ing. Guffey and Saling heard a
feminine scream, and although some
distance away could see a man chas
ing a woman and attempting to
knock her down with his fist. Ho
struck her three times before she fell.
He then kicked her about tho head
and shoulders until pi'lled off by Mr.
Guffey and Saling.
The woman was luconscious when
reached. While be of the men at
tended to the womr i the other tele
phoned for Marshall Carter and kept
watch on the assailant, who had
started to walk toward the city.
Marshall Carter met 'him on South
Broadway and stopped him, asking;
if he were not the man who had beat
and nearly killed a woman near the
cemetery.
He finally confessed and Carter
took him in tow. McKinsdiey told
tho officer he did not caro if he had
killed the woman, and hoped sh&
would die. When a3kod why ho had
beat and kicked hdr he said she had
stolen $40 from him. The woman
had but a few coppers, tied In the
corner of a handkerchief when she
was taken to the hospital.
Mrs. McKinsdiey lay In an uncon
scious state until about 2 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. The attending
physician said last night the woman
was probably out of danger, although,
sho Is still in a precarious condition,
her head being badly bruised in
places as well as bruises on other
parts of the body.
Tho family came here from Ore
gon City a short time ago and the
husband has been mending umbrellas
around Marshfleld. They have two
children, a daughter about six years
old and a son about ten, the latter
In Oregon City. The little girl waa
taken care of by the Rev. Thurston
and wife.
McKinsdiey will be detained in the
city bastlle until his preliminary
hearing, which will probably be to
day. District Attorney E. L. C. Far
rln was absent from the city yester
day attending county court, and no
hearing could be held.
The justice court can Inflict a fine
of but $50 for a case of this kind, but
if sufficient evidence Is brought It
can be taken to the Circuit Court,
whore a fine of $500 or a year in the
county Jail can be Inflicted, the
judges can also inflict that ho bo
given twenty lashes across his bare
back.
