i Messenger Force Walks Out.
Wire service in and out of Port
land was going with the slow; bell
this morning when telegraph opera
tors joined the nation-wide strike
called by International President
Konekamn of this Operators union.
It was estimated by union officials
that 50 per .cent of the vvestern
Union operators, were out and all
the Postal operators. None of the
Federal operators struck because of
the ultimatum received a day or so
ago that the strike would not apply
against that organization.
To complicate the situation, the entire
messenger force at the Postal quit at
10 o'clock this morning.
"All WmUI .1..nanh wflirV.r. rtf Onr-f
land and vicinity are out." declared C.
H. Preston - Sr.. local manager of the
operator strike, in his first official state
ment. made this morning, "including all
branch offices except 'Manager Annand
and Chief Operator Durkee. The entire
messenger force of the Postal Telegraph
company quit at 10 o'clock. Unofficial
estimates, incomplete until all have reg
istered, show approximately so per cent
of the Western Union employes out. Un
confirmed reports from. Centralia. and
Corvallis are that the Western Union has
closed." ' '

.PIC JET ON PCTT i .
At moon today 20 striking .telegraphers
had registered at the headquarters of
the keymen'a - union in the Stock Ex
change building.. - . Eight :: of . those
registering were formerly employed as
.telegraph operators by the Postal Tele-
graph company and 12 were Western
Union employes.
Only two onerators remained at work
In the central .office of the Postal com-
offices, with the exception of the Broad
way branch, were closed. Manager Hobb
of the Western Union' says that the
companys oir employes are sun wore
. Ing and says that he expects to have
no trouble, because . of the nation" wide
telegraphers strike.
CAUSE OF STRIKE EXPLAINED
The chief grievance of the men is the
refusal of the companies to recognize
the union. Men with union affiliations
f are discharged' from service of the com
mercial companies as soon as their anion
connections become known to company
officials, (he men declare. The wages
:paia are insufficient to meet the cost
of living, according to striking ' key-
men. There is no fixed scale of wages
in iorce in me nices or tne companies,
say the men. the companies capitalising
the necessities of their employes and
paying a less wage to married men
who own. homes and cannot readily give
tap their positions than to single men
who are free to leave if conditions be-
" come unsatisfactory.
OPERATORS SATISFIED ROBB
fWages for operators run from S0
to 110 per month, according to members
or tne .teiegrapners union. Manager
Robb.of the Western Union company
: declared this morning that employes of
his company are fully satisfied with
wages and working conditions. While
admitting, that wages' vary considerably
among employes he did not state what
maximum and minimum amounts are

voluntecering for hazardous
reconnaissances over , fire

enemy's lines without! hesitation
to observe hostile positions and
establishing liason Wider con
ditions of exceptional diffi

distinguished service Cross con
ferred by General Pershing
upon Private Clyde Brandon,

Bend, Or. The heroism de
scribed was displayed in Octo
ber in a battle near St. Ktier.ne,

WAITERS' WAGES
AND FOOD SOAR
Consumer Now Pays Seven Cents
for Coffee in Place of the
Time-Honored Nickel.
Simultaneously with the singing by
restaurant proprietors of a new. wage
scale affecting the waiters, Tuesday
night, prices of foods began rising. The
first reported advance appeared in cof
fee, which is now 7 cents per cup at
most places. Those institutions whloa
have been exacting. 10 cents did not
make any increase. : -j -
At) caterers deny that, the prices' ere
affected by the presence of . Rose Festl
cal .crowds, i - ; -
" H. W. Kent, manager of ! the .Portland
Caterers' association, said;
"Taking the cost of coffee alone, as
an example. Undei- the old price of -5
cents it sold absolutely at , cost. Cream
cost 2 cents, coffee 2 eents, sugar
cent, leaving JA. cent to cover heating,
labor, breakage and all overhead ex
pense. After this increase in the
waiters' wages, it is impossible to sell
coffee at the old scale."
A. E. Coe, in speaking of the situa
tion, said it was only a coincidence
that this increase should, come into ef
fect at this time. ,
"Eating In Portland." ' he said, "is
about as inexpensive a a any place in
America. We have refrained from in
creasing prices as long as we could.
Now it is absolutely imperative or we
cannot continue business."
Only in a few of the larger places
have the prices remained stationary, it
appear a ftJTn investigation, and In these
places tB Hprices have in moat cases
been grrn;ir than the smaller quick
service luTt lies.

Root Tells Senate Committee He
Received Peace Text; From
Banker at Head of Red Cross.
Davison Explains He Showed It
to Root Because Latter Was
Being Consulted From Paris.
Washington. June 11. (I. N. S.)
It was Henry P. Davison, of the
banking house of J. P. Morgan &
Co... who gave him a copy of the
peace treaty, .' Elihu Root, former
senator and secretary of "state, told
the senate foreign relations commit
tee today.
As an "international banker" inter
ested in the coordination of American
financial and industrial interests for the
rehabilitation of war devastated Europe,
Henry P. Davison of J. P. Morgan &
Co. secured a copy of the peace treaty
at Paris on May 9 last from Thomas
F. 'Lamont. another member of the
banking house, so he told the. com
mittee. Davison said he was also interested
in the text . of the treaty as chairman
of the board of governors of the league
of Red Croes societies, modeled after the
League of Nations.
When he left Paris with the treaty
he was under the impression that it
was "public property," he said.! When
he discovered it was not. upon his ar
rival at New York he locked his copy
up and since then no one had seen it
except. Elihu Root because he knew
Root, "as a recognized authority on in
ternational' problems, was being con
sulted, from Paris by those engaged in
the peace negotiations.'
He had not even shown it to J. P.
Morgan or . any other member of the
Morgan banking bouse, he added.
Resentment was expressed by Root at
President Wilson's "suggestion" that no
body In possesion of the treaty -in this
country had a right io "communicate it."
Root declared that the treaty . was
"public property. ' inasmuch as Cer
many had given the document publicity.

ment in Washington.
Washington, June 11. (WASH
INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR
NAL.) Tacit understanding haa
been reached with the G. M. Standl
fer Construction corporation to re
instate two or three of the five sus
pended' steel ship contracts in th
yard at Vancouver. Wash.
This statement was given ia ths
senate commerce committee today
by J. T. Ackersan, head of the Emer
gency Fleet corporation. "The
Standifer case is the worst we have,"
said Ackersan. " "We found when
they submitted a statement they
had been hurt more than we ex
pected. By the understanding now
reached they will have no vacant
ways until October. There is no
question of substitution involved
In it." .
Replying to Senator . Chamberlain.
Ackerson said he believed some Western
contracts have been reinstated and that
some are still under consideration. "If
we analyze a yard's statement and. find
we should reinstate, we shall do so,"
said Ackerson.
"The shipbuilders ought to kno-
now." said Chamberlain. "How soon can
you let them know?"
"If anyone wants to know in some
particular case, he can get that right
off." Ackerson .responded.
"They don't appear to get it so far,"
was Chamberlain's rejoinder.
The Oregon senator asked how long
will be required to make the changes to
substitute new Types. Ackerson said
probably three or four monnif
"In the meantime, what becomes of
the shipyard organizations?" Chamber
lain queried.

ped her anchors the flyers glided higher
and cut all the fancy capers their
machines could manage. The tail spin,
the Immelman turn and the other cloud
land thrillers, were made successfully
by both flyers.
McMurray had as his passenger and
assistant Chief Machinists Mate Daw

Wells Fargo building, where Mr. McMur
ray has his office, and the plane came so
close that Mr. McMurray and members
of the O-W. office force were able to see
the flyer wave his hand to them.
The two seaplanes arrived early this
week aboard the cruiser Minneapolis,
and were engaged in testing their wings
over the Willamette river this morning.
The second plane is piloted by Ensign T.
Burke Lee. These hydroplanes are the
first example of the seafliers which ever
visited Portland. They are making the
