Corn and Oats in
A Weaker Position
By Joseph F. Prltchard.
Chicago. June, 3. (I N. S.) There were
very sharp price losses in the grain markets,
corn declining 1 H 0 2 H . and the market wa
under selling pressure right up to the close
today.
Oats were unchanged for June, while July
wa "H 14 o lower. At the lowest point
reached, July corn waa off 80 front Saturday's
closing.
Provisions were 1.0 40c higher, with pork
showing the greatest strength.
Chicago. June 3. (I. N. S.) Corn opened
easier today on scattered commission house selling-,
due to favorable weather conditions which
prevailed over Sunday. There was very little
buying in evidence. The trade is nervous and
unsettled. The pit seemed bearish.
Oats opened quiet, but ranged lower Quickly
in aympathy with corn.
Provisions were up considerable with the
bulge in hog values. The monthly atock report
waa construed as bullish.

TELEGRAPHERS TO
TALK TO E0W1PERS
Conference in Washington Is
Agreed Upon to Avert West
ern Union Strike.
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
