Whlnton, Jun 10. (I. N? 8.)
Thr will b no telegraphers' strike.
This statement was emphatically made
In circles close to the White House to
day. Officials responsible for the statement
refused to elaborate It in any way. They
spoke with the, greatest confidence,
however, and it was supposed the presi
dent has determined upon a plan which
he Is sure will brine the telegraph com
panies and their employes together. The
details were not available, but it is be
lieved that the presidents of the com
panies and the president of the teleg
raphers' union. 8.. J. Konenkamp, will
b. called to a joint conference with the
president at the White House in the
very, near future.
It U probable that President Wilson
wilt request Former President Taft and
Prank P. Walsh, Joint chairmen of the
national war labor board, to confer with
htm at the White House, that the presi
dent may learn the hintory of the case
in detail. Labor officials believe the
president will then Issue a statement ad
dressed to President Carlton of the
Western Union, giving him notice that
the Jurisdiction of the war labor board
must be recognised within a certain num
ber of days. This would be a rebuke
similar to the one made by the presi
dent recently when he wrote to Wil
liam Rutcheson, president of the Car
penters' and Joiners' union, during the
strike of ship carpenters.
The board leaves today for Chicago,
where several hearings will be held on
minor labor disputes in the Middle
West Hearing of the telegraphers' case
will also be continued when the Postal
Telegraph company will be called in
Joint session v with the employes.
The board announced the appointment
of Raymond E. Swing of Chicago as an
examiner. Mr. Swing was formerly war
correspondent for the Chicago Dally
News and has spent three years on the
European battle fronts. He will make
an extensive report of the Birmingham
Coal and Ironworkers' controversy, now
before the board.
Marine Recruiting
Has Lively Opening
Hearty Score ef Applieatloas Received
oa First Day of Marine Week; Eda
eatlonat Campaign to Be Benefit.
"Enlistment started out lively this
morning," said Lieutenant H. E. Potter
of the local marine corps recruiting sta
tion In the Panama building. '"We have
had nearly a score of applications so
far."
Lieutenant Potter expects; the special
week of marine recrurting will not only
bring a large number of enlistments,
but will be of great educational value to
the public in jceneral whose notions of
the marines are hasy. The film, "The
Unbeliever," the numerous talks to be
given throughout the week by Corporal
Fred K. Holllster and the success which
the marines are now meeting I rw France,
will all have their part in swelling the
number of recruits, Lieutenant Potter
believes.
Two-Day Term in
Jail Given Speeder
S. Joseph was fined J25 and given
two days in jail by Municipal Judge
Rossman this morning because he drove
his automobile 37 miles an hour along
the Llnnton road Sunday from the
rock quarry to Oeadman's curve. He
passed nine automobiles and 'one mo
torcycle, crowding the motorcycle and
one automobile completely off the road
He was finally overtaken by Motorcycle
Officer Horack in plain clothes and
upon being halted offered to put up a
fight, advancing toward the officer in
a threatening attitude. When the of
ficer displayed his star, Joseph sub
mitted to arrest at once.
Konenkamp Not Informed '
Chicago, June 10. (I. N. S.) S. J.
Konenkamp, president of the Commer
cial Telegraphers' union, when told the
news from Washington, Indicating that
no strike would occur, said today that

to believe the strike possibility is past.
Meanwhile, Wesley Russell, former
international secretary-treasurer of the
union, arrived here from New York to
attend the conference of railroad tele?
raphers Tuesday, which is expected to
determine what action they will take In
case the commercial men go out.

CITY'S WAR GARDEN WATCHED
Crop, if Project Is Successful, Will
Pay Italians for Plot Destroyed.
City fathers are keeping a watchful
eye on the "war potato patch" In Mount
Tabor park. It Is a substitute garden
for the one destroyed by park workmen
in clearing the ground for the Marquam
gulch recreation place. The garden was
owned by Italians. The city administra
tion planted the substitute garden 'to
make amends. If the f Mount Tabor
garden is a success the debt the city
owes will be paid in potatoes. If it
fails the city will reimburse the Ital
ians with cash. Owing to the lateness
of the season and the prolonged dry
spell the city Is- taking a "gambler's
chance" on getting off without a cash
payment.
PLAYGROUND CASE STARTED
The first of the large number of cases
to condemn land In the Marquam
gulch for a city playground was begun
before a jury in Circuit Judge Camp
bell's court this morning.
The case In hand is that against the
property of Cammilla and Mary Clmonl,
consisting of one lot and three houses.
The owners demand $5700 -for their
property. The city haa placed a valua
tion of 11500 on the property and has
offered them that sum.
The Jury selected to decide the matter
mas taaen to view me premises.
Fred : C Enple Sentenced
Fred C. Engel. convicted by a Jury

mitted a statutory offense against his
13-year-old foster sister, was sentenced

years in the penitentiary by Circuit
Judge Gantenbein this morning.
Pendleton, Or., June 10. One of the
most Important matters for the consid
eration of the farmers of the Northwest
is to be acted upon at a meeting to be
held in Pendleton today. Representa
tives of all the counties of Fastern Ore
gon and Eastern Washington are ex
pected to meet' here to determine the
wage scale to be adopted for the har
vest season.
The adoption of a uniform wage scale
for farm labor during the haying and
harvest season is looked on as a neces
sity to i keep the workers satisfied and
to prevent too much shifting of labor.
The scarcity of farm help has been her
alded far and wide and in many cases
over estimated. The Idea has ' spread
among farm laborers that farmers will
accept them at their own terms, but
present Indications are that there will
be ample help to take care of the crop.
The farmers will endeavor to agree
upon a scale of wages that will be fair
to labor and satisfactory to both the
laborer and employer. What this will
be, of course, is Impossible to say, but
as a key for what may be adopted the
ecal adopted by the Walla Walla coun
ty council has been cited common la
bor, haying S3 a day, and for harvest $4:
It is said in some communities higher
wages have been paid for haying.
County Agricultural Agent M. 3.

ference. Camp Lewis Needs
