Strike, However Is Not Expected. Rdn ridhp(airt A lie- ? .fit "r Under the supervision of D. 23. Swain, president of the district council of Electrical Workers, the i count was started today of the referendum vote on the 'settlement that brought the recent Pacific coast telephone strike to a close. The vote in at least four cities San Francisco, Sacramento, Los 'Angeles and Portland is known to be 5 against ac cepting; the settlement. Reports front other cities, including San Jose, indi cate increasing dissatisfacton wth the arrangement under when the operators are now workng. The result of the vote probably will not be announced before Tuesday, as the counting is a difficult task, and some of the returns may ' have been delayed. --'Swain said he did not know whether the entire vote had been re ceived. ' ' . - i . STRIKE TfOT EXPECTED j ' ' Although another coast-wide phone strike may result if this vote is un favorable to the settlement, the im pression that a strike is now impend ing is erroneous. ; Ijong negotiations both Within the union and with the Pacific Telephone jtv Tio-rnh comnanv will result if Lthis vote turns down the settlement. Swain said. "The first move would be to call in a committee representing the whole district, to draw tip another proposal." he said. "This would comprise a new wage scale. This wage scale and working conditions proposal would .then be submitted to the company. It might be accepted. If it should be rejected, another referendum vote , would t be necessary to decide whether the oper ators wished to strike again, f. -- DISCBIMIICATIOJf 18 CHABGED t'postmaster General Burleson would not fiirure r In these new negotiations said Swain. "I personally have seen his notice submitted to the railroad, commission to the effect that he is not now responsible for the telephone sys tems on the coast. Since the present settlement was ac cepted by the union's IntemationsU of ficers there have been many expres sions of dissatisfaction up and down the coast. Operators have charged the International officers were not cor rectly informed of condition. They have charged also that the telephone com pany has discriminated in many" cases against those who struck, TERMS Of SETTLEMENT The girl operators returned to work under an agreement by their interna tional .officers, allowing them a sliding scale running from 2 a day. for begin ners to $19 a week. They had demanded a scale of from. $2 to 4 a day. The electrical workers accepted 9- a day. They had demanded $6.40. ; In having disapproved by- secret bal lot the wage award granted- telephone operators, the Portland union of tele phone girls does not contemplate im mediate summary action i against the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph company, accorUing to the statement made this morning by Mrs. Agnes Johnson, pres ident of the union. "The disapproval means, so far as present action Is concerned, merely a re opening of negotiations for what the girls believe to be a proper adjustment of wage and working conditions,'' Mrs. Johnson stated. "Of course, there is a possibility that refusal of the company to negotiate with us, in the event of such a stand, will' result in a strike, but local officers do not foresee any such thing at present. . . "The wage award disapproved by se cret ballot provided for a $2 a day mini mum wage with a $19 a week maximum at the beginning of the sixth year of service. We object primarily to the de mand for five years of apprenticeship, holding out for a two-year period, but repeatedly expressing our willingness to compromise on a three-year period. "The company submitted its counter proposition in connection with the re cent strike and it is a disapproval of this by referendum that is announced today from San Francisco."

CHASE OF BANDIT KIDNAPERS HALTED - ( . Ll (Continued From Pa.s One) . ttonar- members of the' band. The or ders jto Colonel Langhorne, it was ex plained, were to start back as soon as it was foijind that Jesus Rentario had evaded . pursuit. The latest .report showed that he had taken alarm imme diately after part of the ransom was paid and had headed for th,e south. At all times he had a lead that could not be overtaken and was able to Increase it because of the necessity , of Colonel Langhorne'a men searching aft"' of - the territory through which they passed.

RANSOMED AVIATORS TELL . '-J HOjlV THEY WERE KIDNAPED Majffa, 'jrex., Aug. 26. The chase of the Mexican bandits who held two Amer ican airmen for ransom has ended and it is believed! that all of the .troopers of the Eighth and 'Fifth United States cavalry who crossed the border are back upon (Ameifican soli. There is no official confirmation of the report jthat Jesus Bentario, leader of the outlaws, was kyied by machine gun bullets fired from an American airplane. Another heavy rainstorm blew up over the Sierra Madre foothills ' on Sunday making it difficult to follow the vague traila! which the scattering outlaws left behind when they fled southward into the mountains. . ' During the six days that the chase was in progress the Americans are believed to haye killed at least six bandits, cap turing six j more and wounding several. It was a ieary, mud-spattered band of soldiers that crossed the Bio Orande on the iteturn Journey, All of the men showed traces of the days of hard rid ing through the mountains and the nights of roughing it under the stars. The; troopers were expected to spend a short tifne at Candelaria resting up.. Thel captured - Mexicans are sullen fellows and have accepted with ill grace the tasks put upon them by the Ameri cans, j Thy were armed with an as sortment of weapons, some of them old' pieces of ,yery small calibre. , " 8 TO BY OW KIDirfAPIHG The flrsjt detailed story of their ex periences fwhile held captives by the Mexican . bandits was given today by Lieutenants Peterson -and Davis, United State$ amity ,aviatorsr, who returned to Marf i Sunday afternoon after leading the American punitive expedition into Mexico in la futile chase of bandits. . Lieutenant Davis, frequently prompted by Lieutenant Peterson, dictated the following r-i. -v v... , "I Jeft here at. Sunday morning to make a patrol of the border from La Jatos to Bosque Bonita. We reached La Jatosi at I0;38 and proceeded up the Rio Grande. We went: through Presidio snd- followed what" we thought was the Bio Orande, but which we later found was the Conchos river. Our mistake was due to the swollen condition of the river,! which made It -appear . larger, than the Rio Orande.- :i "We traveled up " the Conchos river until 11 :3Q a. m. hen we observed a railroad crossing the river. The railroad was not shown on our.' map and as we had been in the air for two hours, we decided to j turn for home. After spend ing 15 or 20 minutes looking for the Southern pacific railroad and failing to locate it. We turned back to the river for another look at the- railroad , bridge. PIAlfE STpBDELY STOPS .''While ir-1 were Crossing the moun tains ! the engine of our plane suddenly became a mass of smoke, then stopped. "We were up 400 feet, but managed to glide to a mesa, on top of a small mountain, I the , only level spot we could see. The ionly way to save our lives was to pancake the ship and wreck it. The ship was a total wreck, but we escaped injury. "We crashed at 12:30 Sunday. At 1 :30 we took a compass from the air plane 1 and; with, a canteen only about one-quartef full of water, we started to walk towards the railroad. We walked fori two hours 'in the heat of the day. iOur water supply was getting low, so-we abandoned the hunt for the rail road bridge and started down an old river bed, hoping to find waters At 6 p. m. we found a small pool of water in a worn rock. We soon drank all of this. "We continued our tramp until 11 t m. Then we tried to go to sleep. We could! not sleep. We were too thirsty, so decided! to - continue our- search . for water. At S a. m. we found a small Mexican ranch. We were given' plenty of water. jThe Mexican sold us tortillas and coffee! for $1. He then directed us to Polaris, which we believed was the Polaris on the Rio Grande, but which later proced " to be Polaris on .the Con chos ariver; , ATTEMPT TO SWIM RIVER "We attempted to swim down this river but were unable to make it because of the current and rapids. We walked along! the bank of the river until 9:30 Monday night. It was the roughest kind of going. Often we had to pull ourselves over cliffs Jy our hands. ,. - "At 5:30 Monday two airships passed over us. We did our best' to attract their attention, but owing toi the great height at T which they were compelled to .fly over the mountains, - they were unable to pee. us. . "We managed to sleep Monday night. We were up at 5 :3 Tuesday morning and after 1 walking until 9.. we started to swim down the river. We estimated that we swam .28 v minutes. Peterson was bo hungry he ate several buckeye nuts which later made him' sick. Ren tario later told him it was a wonder the nuts did not, 'kill him, as they are considered very ; poisonous by the Mex icans.' ' i j - v WhUe swimming down the river we were sucked under twice by eddies, so decided it waa unsafe to continue. We walked- until 10 o'clock , In the evening, when we went to sleep on a rock for a bed. We had Intended making a town, if possible, but, it was so dark " that Lieutenant! Peterson nearly grabbed a rattlesnake In groping his way among the rocks, I and I came . within several feet of another one. The day before we had killed j a rattler after a battle with him. We have the eight rattles for souvenirs. ESTER TH"E BAJfDlT. "Up at 5!:80 o'clock Wednesdav morn ing,., we were- again o,n our way..; About ,v a. uj. wiMTtacnea a small village. Sabaeo. , We purchased some , tortillas and arranged wUh a Mexican to take us to the next town, eight miles away, on two burro, for $10. . As we were leav ing,, two heavily armed Mexicans ap proached us, but did not bother us. We , were not far from the town, however, when we were surrounded by six Mexi cans, all heavily armed. The ; leader, who turned out to be Rentario, ques-; tloned us, but let us proceed, while he consulted with the others. "A quarter of a mile farther, however, 1 we were again overtaken,' this time by three of the ' Mexicans, who - sent our guide back and ordered us . to follow them up an old river bed. We concluded they were going to take us to some se cluded spot and rob us. But they treated us very well. We traveled until S p. n., stopping three times, .once at a mescal dlstillary, again at a ranch where we had the evening meal, and onoe at a ranch where Rentario traded the two burros We were riding for an old horse and a lame mule, - . "We camped over night on th moun tain Bide and. were on the way again at S :30 a. m. We rested during the heat of the day and during the after noon came to a father prosperous-looking ranch where Rentario obtained a goat which we cooked for supper. Then we pitched camp for the night. Ren tario .dropped piepes . of - handkerchiefs and torn up hank checks as We wnt, to mark the trail. We rode until 2 a. ni. Friday. Rentario had a lot of amusement prodding my mule with a sharp stick to make him buck. Peterson knew a lot about ' Kansas, where Ren tario worked on the railroads once, and talked Rentario Into ft near friendship. Rentario began calling him Peterson and let him ride a guard. When X tried to argue-with Rentario he always said, 'Do you want to die now? -and when we said, 'No,' he would say 'All right, go ahead then. HAKD TO HA3T1 FIOHT . "Peterson, bawled roe out for arguing with Rentario and Rentario would then say i to Peterson, "You and me good friends.' We rode Friday, resting dur ing the heat of the day, as usual. At 1 p. m. we reached a part of a ravine in - th mountains. Here Rentario an nouced to us that he fwas holding us for $15,000 ransom, which must be paid by midnight of August 18,,, or he would kill usTK)th. We stayed here until Men day afternoon. Rentario left every night and came back in the morning to sleep during the day. We were treated very considerately, and had as much to eat, and as good.1 as did the bandits them selves. In view of our lack of knowl edge of the mountains, we decided that it would be useless to try an escape, as we would only be recaptured within a few hours. But when two Mexicans laid down their rifles about 15 feet from them I signalled Peterson and he made a rush for the rifles while I endeavored to j overpower the guards. But , they bested me and . the other one covered Peterson with his rifle. 'Sunday morning Rentario told us that the telegrams for the ransom had been sent. - . "He told Peterson that if the ransom was not paid, he was going to get a shirt and some trousers for him and take his uniform back to the Americans to prove that he had been killed, but he would not kjll him, he would kill me, he said.". Sunday night he left and came back Monday morning, bringing the telegrams from our parents, and food which was sent by Captain Mat lack. He was in fine spirits, and told us. the money would be raised by ranchers by 1 p. m. At 2 p. mw our guards . told, us to get ; ready, and we hiked two miles over the mountains to a deep canyon,' where -the guards in formed us Rentario would come for us at 4 o'clock. About 9:15 we heard Ren tarlo's whistle, and , the guards went forward to challenge him. We were guided on the journey by Rentario, who told us he would send - Lieutenant, Pe terson out. first, and if 'the money and everything went right, he would then send me out. "He put Peterson on behind a horse man and - rode through a cornfield, where , he met Captain Matlack. "Rentario told Peterson he was hia good friend and got his address, so, he said, he could come to visit him. He t expressed the desire to ride with him'"' in his aeroplane some time, and hoped he would soon see his parents. This was when Peterson brought back to him the $7500 which Captain Mat lack had given him for his ransom. DAYIS IK BAD "As soon as Peterson . had left with Captain Matlack, I was started on foot with two mounted bandits behind me, back to- the mountains, and I sympa thised with a man being led to the gal lows, for I was convinced that some treachery had been planned and that so far as I was concerned they were go ing to put an end to things, as I knew Rentario hated me. However, in an hour they took me back to San Antonio and Rentario shook hands with me " as he bade me goodbye. He said that if he ever saw me again, lie would kill me on sight. 1 , "A Mexican agent then took me to Cap tain Matlack. I wish to make mention here of the very brave deed Of Captain Matlack, who, after the man Rentario had appointed as agent refused to go into Mexico alone, came in after me when he knew armed Mexicans to be lurking In a cornfield where they could easily have cut both of us off, on our way back. He knew he had only a 50-50 'chance for his life. , "When I met Captain Matlack he told the Mexican agent If he made any. noise he would shoot him. I mounted behind the captain and we started out. Matlack offered the other Mexican agent $1000 .If he would keep quiet and told him that he would shoot him If he made any noise. The .captain ordered the agent to follow us to Candelaria. As . we n eared the cornfield Captain Matlack told me 4hat we were suae to be fired on and that at the first shot both of us would Sump Into an t irrigation ditch and fight until troops arrived from Qandelaria.; - ' "But the Mexicans did not fire and we reached Candelaria safely at 2 a m. Tuesday and it was here that we first learned that we had been in Mexico, as we believed we had followed the Rio Grande river and not the Conch The latter was not on our map. 'Tuesday we returned to Mexico with K troop of the Eighth cavalry and have been there until the return by ship today.". -. - Judge Campbell Better . Oregon City, Aug. . 25. Judge' 3.
