OPERATORS REJECT.
PHONE WAGE SCALE
Portland Union Senris in; Neg
ative 'Vote f! 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." '" s i

it was foijind that Jesus Rentario had

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

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.". -. -

A somewhat similar condition now confronts us.
The local musician's union has issued an ex

must employ ten musicians regardless of
whether we need-them or want them.
If we were to comply with this demand, it would
