Washington, June 3 (TJ. P.) Presi dent Konencamp of Commercial teleg raphers' union waa to oonfr with Sam uel Gompers her today before calling a strike of union men In the Western Union Telegraph company. Konenkamp'a decision to order a strike followed failure of the negotia tions opened by the national war labor board to mediate between the Western Union and those of its employes who wanted to Join the union. It ls-nndersUod today that the Postal Telegraph company and railroad teleg raphers probably will not be involved, but will notv carry message) for the Western Union during the strike, if it materializes. Konenkamp intends to urge govern ment ownership of telegraph lines. Gompers, It is known, will advise Konenkamp to make another effort for mediation before calling a strike. New York, June 3. (I. N. S. Ef forts of the national war labor board to adjust the differences between the Western Union Telegraph company and its employes have failed. By a vote of 7 to 6 the board voted "It does not seem useful to further pro long the mediation. The construction of our principles, as set forth In Mr. Raft's telegram to Mr. Carlton, leads to the conclusion that the Western Union Telegraph company should accept this compromise as therein stated. It de clines, however, to do so, or to submit to the Jurisdiction of this board and no further action of the board is therefore recommended. The refusal of the Western Union company is the first recorded action of a corporation to refuse to accept the principles as laid down for the consid eration of labor difficulties by the Taft- Walsh board, which later, for the pur poBes or Judicial action, became the national war labor board. In adopting the report of the media tors, it was suggested that the matter be placed before President Wilson. The suggestion was voted down. However, It is believed the president will take up the matter if a nationwide strike ap pears imminent. The attempted mediation grew out of the alleged discharge by the Western Union of men who became members of the union. As the first step In the mediation, William Howard Taft. former president, anq irank r..Waisn presented an agreement to be entered into between the union and the Western Union com pany. The agreement was sent to New comb Charlton, president, and Chairman Wiggin of the executive board of the Western Union directors. This agreement set forth that the company would receive a committee of its men to present requests for bettering Uie conditions or. tneir work and fatlur to agree on the terms would place the matter before the national war labor board for adjustment. It was also stated that the Western Union would not have to recognize the union, nor would the union use the strike as a weapon. This plan was refused by Charlton. May llean Government Control Washington. June 3. (I. N. S.) Kventual government control and oner atton of the telegraph companies for tha duration of the war Is talked of here today, following the report of the National War Labor board on its attempted mediation of the differences between the union telegraph operators and the Western Union Telegraph com pany. Should the company persist In its refusal to submit to government medi ation, a presidential order taking dver the operation of the company is consid ered the next step. The operators have expressed the con viction that this Is what 'the companies seek. All records for telegraph business were broken in the years immediate preceding this country's entrance Into the war. it is said by the telegraphers. The bulk of this business was private. 2 1 Now the companies are forced to handle 15 an enormous amount or government 14 business at a reduced rate. A govern . , ment guarantee based on the profiOj of three years preceding America's en. trance Into the war, with the consequent relief from responsibility for labor troubles and other difficulties incident to war business, would be highly ac ceptable to the companies, it is asserted by the operators. A similar guarantee was given the railroada Huge Quantity of. Meat Sent Allies Washington. June 3. (I. N. H.)
