Protest, Says Army Head, and Adds That Swift Blow ! Will Stop Bolshevism Foodstuff Is Delivered Coastal Shipping Is Nearly: Tied Up at Vancouver as More Workers Go Out WINNIPEG, Juno 6.?More than ! 1,300 soldier-constables and a cavalry unit of one hundred war veterans to? day patrolled Winnipeg's streets, ready to enforce Mayor Gray's j reclamation forbidding all public parades. The Mayor's stand was indorsed by nearly every faction involved in the general strike, and only o?e effort, was made to continue the demonstrations of the last three clays. Strikers, following a mass meeting,1 attempted to form and march to the ? City Hall in protest agairi?t the Mayor's proclamation, but the demonstration \ ?van broken up by the police. The newly deputized constables made several arrests of strikers and strike' sympathizers during the day, and all wore arraigned and fined. Mayor Gray announced that the city pians to put three thousand returned soldiers on its emergency police force. Brigadier General H. D. B. Ketchen. ! the Manitoba district military com? mander, to-day addressed a mass meet ing of returned soldiers and declared the Winnipeg strike could no longer be considered a union labor protest, but j that it is an attempt to overthrow the ? government. | "I am sorry, men, that I cannot tell , you all I would like to tell at the ? present time," General Ketchen said, ! 'hut rest assured that the Dominion government and the military are not idle. When the government does act, i in connection with the Winnipeg up- . heaval, 1 am sure you soldiers will .".gree t hat when I intimated to-day that action was impending to deal with j revolution and Bolshevism, I did not tell you all." Without committing themselves on the calling off of the sympathetic strike, executives of the central strike committee announced to newspapers to-night that the Metal Trades Council ; had accepted the collective bargaining plan outlined by the railway brother? hoods, which have been attempting to . bring aoout a strike settlement by con? ciliation. Federal and provincial executives have announced that they would not participate in any settlement until the sympathetic, strike was called off. Since returned soldiers began main , taining law and order in Winnipeg | it has been an open secret that the | strike leaders have been attempting to settle on the best terms possible, but one leader declared to-day that the svmpathetic strike would not be called off. Several more unions have joined the ! general strike at Vancouver, and coast? wise shipping is almost completely tied up. The Canadian Pacific has begun ai rangements to fill the places of strik? ing stewards with girls on their coast? wise steamers. The stand taken by the newspapers at Vancouver in their refusal to per :t% censorship of strike news by the typographical union resulted to-day in the union receding from its action. -? Service Charge to Replace Waiter's Tip The French Pastry Shop at 2S(5 Fifth Avenue abolished tipping yester? day and announced ;hat in the future a 10 per cent service charge will be added to each check and given to the waiter at the end of the week. Irving Billig, one of the proprietors, who sponsors the idea, believes that it will ;;pread, since it adds to the waiter's self-respect without damaging his purse and in a protection to the pub? lic. Waiters in the shop who accept , a direct tip are now liable to dismis? sal. "We employ eighteen waiters and they all aprove the new system," said ' Mr. Billig. "To-day they have averaged from $4.50 to $5 through the charge for service, in addition to the day's pay of $1.6') and meals. The announcement, printed on the menu, says: "Help elevate the waiter by abolish? ing tipping, which is a relic of old Europe. It is essentially un-American. There is no doubt that non-tipping will become universal before long. "A tip is a gratuity, the sum de? pending entirely upon the generosity of the donor, lt. placeB an undeniable stamp of servitude on the waiter's profession. "We" therefore appeal to our guests in introducing an innovation; we pro pose to replace the tip with a service '?barge. At the end of each week the various waiters will receive the total of service charges appearing on their checks, "A 10 per cent charge for service will be added to the amount of all checke. A waiter accepting a tip will be liable to dismissal." Pennsylvania Mine Blast Deaths Now Number 87 WILKES-BARRE, Penn., June 6.- The ] explosion of five kegs of black powder in the Baltimore No. 2 tunnel of the Delaware &. Hudson Company yester? day ha? caused the death of eighty ; seven men. There are thirty-five m ' hospitals at present and the condition 1 of several of these men is serious. Investigation by state mine depart? ment officials of the disaster was begun to day. All of the mine inspectors of the district, were prertcnt. John McGroarty, motorman, and James K?hoet brakeman on the train i of mine car? which caused the accident, testified that, the trolley wire was sag? ging, but not low enough to come in contact with the metal cam. They said an iron bur or other metal carried by ? miner might have hern touched by ! the wire, thus causing a short circuit that emitted ?parks which ignited the powder on the train. Another theory they advanced w?n that hpark? from a lamp, a pipe or a lighted match might , have come in contact with Ioobo ? powder. Labor Gets Permit for 'Wet" Parade in Capital VP7ASHINGT0N, June 6.?Permis- ; ? * sion was granted District of Columbia labor unions to-day by ] Superintendent Woods of the Capi- ? to! Building, to conduct a parade and demonstration before the Capitol June 14 in opposition to war Mm? prohib?- ! tion as applied to light wines and beer. Organizers said 100,000 people would assemble in the'line of march and that delegations would be sent here from many cities. Nation-Wide Wire Strike Decided On i Continued from pace 1 munication. Western Union officials here pointed to the statement in New ? York to-day of Newcomb Carlton, pres? ident of the company, that cut of ?10,000 employes eligible to join the. Commercial Telegraphers' Union only 710 were members. Mr. Konenkamp planned to leave ', Washington shortly after midnight for Chicago. He declared the strike would grow until it reached maximum proportions on June 10, when the electrical work? ers would go out. He said the union had no intention of appealing to the government. "Any faith the union may have had in government settlement or aid in a settlement of the demands of its mem? bers has been considerably shaken," he declared. "The War Labor Board has failed to do anything. The Department of Labor has failed. Postmaster Gen? eral Burleson has failed, and we sought to see the President last. February and failed. The fact that I am leaving Washington is sufficient in? dication that I expect nothing from | the government. "We understand that we failed to see the President because our case was not acute. It is becoming and will become more acute." President Konenkamp said he was willing to submit the matter to the War Labor Board if the company was, but that he did not expect any such con? tingency. He scoffed at reports that the strike was designed to bring about permanent government ownership and operation. No Delay Feared By Western Union Walk'Out of Operators Here Is Not Expected, Labor Leaders Believe Local officials of the Commercial Telegraphers' Union said yesterday they did not look for any strike or- i ders before Sunday. "I expect," said Percy Thomas, vice- ? president of the union, "to have some? thing to say Sunday night. What it will be I cannot now say." Newcomb Carlton, president of the j i Western Union, against whose company [ the strike order in Atlanta and other : Southern points was issued, said yes terday the company felt no ill effects j ? therefrom. To date, he said, only a | very few operators had quit, and he j j had no fear cf serious trouble in the [ ! South, in New York or any other point, i The feeling of confidence that there ! I would be no interruption of service svas ! i shared by officers of the American Tel | ephone and Telegraph Company, op ! crating all long distance lines, and the : ! New York Telephone Company, operat I ing the local lines. The employes of : | these companies are not organized. i Union opinion yesterday was that a , walkout of operators was not to be ex- ' j pected. The strikers are assured of the assist? ance of the Brotherhood of Railroad' ' Telegrapher?. Members of this organ? ization control the railroad offices of tho country, through which the busi ; ness of thousands of small towns and : cities is transacted. These, it was said ? yesterday, on the authority of Thomas j L. Pierson, vice-president, could not be ; expected to handle any Western Union ' i business in strike territory. In the i past the organization has refused to , take part in any strike. The new : president of this organization, Robert Manion, is on record as favoring assist anee to the commercial telegraphers at all times. In a formal statement yesterday Mr. '. ' Carlton said that only 7.10 Western ! Union employes are members of the Commercial Telegraphers' Union. He quoted reports from the South to in ; dicate that few employes had quit in the strike territory, and declared the local chapters of the Western Union Em? ployees' Association, the organization formed under the auspices of the com? pany, wera everywhere pledging loy alty. This organization, ho said, pro ; vided ample machinery for the settle? ment of all questions that may arise. He said a meeting of its officers with representatives of the company was to be held yesterday afternoon to discuss a profit sharing scheme. Burleson Denies Giving Up Wires | To Be Operated by Com? panies Under Control of Government, He Says Naw York Tribune WASHINGTON, June 6.-?Postmaster j General Burleson's order returning I operating control of the telephones and ! telegraph to their private owners was I "a piece of flim-flam" and an attempt ' to "pass the buck on the strike," in the j opinion of Republican members of th<> : Senate Interstate Commerce Commis I sion. These opinions were expressed to-day in n special meeting of the committee, j called in an attempt to clarify the j situation created by the postmaster j General's action. A letter from the Postmaster General explaining that his purpose was simply to set up the r*gu lar operating organizations of the companies, ho that, there should bo no ' confusion when all Federal control was : relaxed, was received by the committee while the meeting was in progre N. C. Kingsbury, ?ice^prewidont. of | the American Telepho?? and Telegraph Company, told the committee prior to! the receipt of the Postmaster General's letter that Mr. Burleson had not re? linquished all control of wire facili? ties, as indicated by his announcement last night. Just "Flim-FJam" "Then his order was simply a piece of flim-flam," Senator Kellogg asserted. "It does not amount to anything." "Wasn't it the purpose to pass the buck on the strike?" Senator Watson wanted to know. Mr. Kingsbury said he did not think so. He explained that the confusion as to the Postmaster General's motive was due to an error which crept into ihe official statement issued by the Post Office epartmDent last night "The publicity bureau, in tiie head? ing it wrote over the text of Mr,. Burleson's order, unfortunately was misleading," Mr. Kingsbury said. "The heading said the telegraph and tele? phone wires were being returned to their respective owners by Mr. Burle? son. The publicity bureau tried to re cull this heading, but apparently it was too late." "Then the order meant that Mr. Bur? leson had not relinquished Federal con? trol at all?" said Senator Kellogg. "That is right." Mr. Kingsbury Explains "He turned back the responsibility but kept the control," Senator Kellogg remarked. "The order simply means," Mr. Kings? bury explained; "that the companies will now operate their own lines for the Postmaster General. It simply did away with the operating board, but the companies still have to report to the Wire Control Board." "Tiie authority of the operating board is now transferred to the Post? master General?" Senator Fernald sug? gested. "Exactly," Mr. Kingsbury agreed. "Docs Burleson still have the same powers over the companies that he hac before?" Senator Kellogg asked. "Yes," Mr, Kingsbury rec-lied. The committee decided 'e> press foi quick passage of the resolution now or the Senate calendar for the imm?diat! relaxation of all government control The resolution will be taken up in the Senate Monday. The committee agreei that existing rates should be continuel for ninety instead of sixty days afte: the suspension of government, control. Burleson's Letter to Committee The letter sent to the committee b; the Postmaster General follows: "An order issued by me yesterday relative to the operation of the tele? graph and telephone system? has Keen construed by some as actual re? turn of the properties to the owners. No such action has been taken by me, nor is any contemplated. "Tliis order simply dii???.y? the operating board app?>*rrted by me un? der date of December 13, 101S, and directs that the systems again be operated by the regular operating officiais, under government super? vision. Responsibility of the gov? ernment to these systems in no wise ceases. It being evident that these properties are to be returned in the very near future, it was necessary for the Postmaster General to take stops immediately to set up the reg? ular operating organizations of the companies, so that when the proper? ties are turned back it can be done without confusion or interruption tr the service, which is the purpose o? the order. "This order is no wise affects thi legislation pending before your com mitteo or before Congress. It wil enable the companies to begin step, immediately to prepare the data an< collect their information to be sub ?mitted to the state commissions fo the rato cases, which will probabl; be taken up immediately after tin period of government con t roi ends.'' Sent to House Committee The Postmaster General's letter w also sont to the House Interstate Fo eign Commerce Committee, whi> closed its hearings on the resolutii for the immediate return of the wir to-day. The commit tec is agreed th the wires should be returned at t earliest possible date, and it has on the question of how long the cxistii rates shall continue in effect after t wires have been returned still to decided. /Vo General Strike Of Electrical Workei Burleson's Order Reduces tl Possibility of an Extend* Fight, Says Union Lead SPRINGFIELD, 111., June 6.?Po master General Burleson's order : storing-the operation of the telegra and telephone properties to the co panies reduced the possibility of extended strike of electrical work' on June l?, according to Charles i-'<> secretary of the International I-.ro erhood of Electrical Workers, ! Ford said the strike would affect ms communities, but would not be genei "There will be many managers v< will settle their grievances with men," he said. "Heretofore they h: been denied this privilege by Post? master General Burleson. "In expressing our pleasure over Mr. Burleson's action we don't want it to be understood that we are opposed to government control of the telegraph I and telephone lines. We feel that he ? lias abused his authority. "We have settled differences at ! Terre Haute already, owing to the j change in the situation." Only 300 in Walk-Out In South, Says Company ATLANTA, Ga., June 6.?-Continua? tion of the telegraphers' strike in ten southeastern states was marked to-day by contradictory statements from Western Union Telegraph Company of? ficials and strike leaders as to its ef- | feet and extent. H. C. Worthen, general manager of the Western Union, Southern Division, said that les3 than 300 operators had left, while Charles F. Mann, repre? senting the Atlanta Telegraphers' L'nion, said the number was 3,000. The Western Union continued to handle messages. Ousted Postal Chiefs Restored to Places A formal announcement was made yesterday by Clarence IT. Mackay, president of the Postal Telegraph- ! Cable Company, that the officials of the concern who were removed by | Postmaster General Burleson had been testored to the positions they formerly held in connection with the operation of the land lines of the corporation. Mr. Mackay was restored to his po? sition as president with the following assistants: William Cook, general counsel; Edward Reynolds, vice-presi? dent and general manager, and A. B. i Richards, general superintendent. ? Library Workers and Teachers' Union Planned PHILADELPHIA, June 6.?The Na- ? tional Women's Trade Union League in convention here to-day decided to organize library workers, and the unionizing of public school teachers will also be attempted through the i league. The convention also decided to elect, tfve delegates to represent this country at the Women's Labor Con? gress to be held in Washington next fall. The convention was thrown into an uproar to-day when attention was drawn to a published .statement that Miss C P. Fincher, of New York, had accused the convention of being pro German. The statement was the result of the convention's considering the question of looking after the children if war-torn countries regariless of na? tionalities. After considerable debate the question of taking the courtesy of attending the convention from Miss Fincher was referred to the Typo? graphical Union from which she had obtained her card. -9 Ensign Beck Is Charged With Accepting Bribes Officer on Trial Before Court Mariial; Others Involved ; With Him Witnesses against. Paul Beck, an en- ; sign in the Naval Reserves, who was an attorney with offices at 291 Broad? way before the war, testified before a S court-martial in the Brooklyn Navy Yard yesterday, that Reck had accepted ; bribes and favors for assigning en? listed men to shore work and for en- . roiling men not up to the physical standards of the navy. Involved with Beck, who is charged with "scandalous conduct tending to \ the destruction of good morals," are' a number of other officers, according ' to the testimony. One of the men: mentioned, a Lieutenant Liiert, has been arrested and is awaiting trial. The accused posed as a lawyer for the navy, witnesses brought out, and operated from his law offices through David Morris and Julius Popper, at? torneys. They arranged meetings with Beck for men who had been rejected by recruiting officers, and payments were made at the offices in 201 Broadway. Missing Aviator Traced As Far as Mt. Stamford The probable course of the airplane of Captain Mansell T. James, the Cana- ? dian "ace," who has been missing since | the start of a flight, eight, days ago . from Lee, Mass., to Atlantic City, was | traced to-day as far as Mount Stam- ; ford, southeast of Waterbury, and I about thirteen miles north of Long i Island Sound. Several school children in the vicin- j i'y of Mount Stamford said they had : seen the 'plane on the day of the flight during their lunch hour. Officials of ? the Aero Club cf America stated that : the speed of James's 'plane would have brought it over Mount Stamford about ?hat time, and the climb to a higher altitude would indicate James intended to continue the flight to Atlantic City instead of stopping at Mine?la.

It read, in part: "He (President Wilson) will not, through his subserviency to the privl leged interests, get their support, but he will lose the radical element of the Democratic party?which is the vast majority of that party?and will prob? ably cause the creation of a new and genuinely radical party, which will per? manently put the Democratic party out of the running. "Some time ago Mr. Bryan said that at the end of Mr. Wilson's incumbency as President there would not be any Democratic party; there might be a Wilson party. Apparently Mr. Bryan wa3 right. "The Wilson party will not be a Democratic party nor a radical party of any kind, and it certainly will not be a majority party. "But inasmuch as there must be in this country some party to represent the progressive principles and purposes of a majority of the citizens, we ni3y look for the formation of a new and genuinely radical party before or dur? ing the next political campaign. "And this party, being genuinely rad? ical, will probably have the sincerity and intelligence to nominate a genuine radical for the Presidency, and not a visionary, vacillating gentleman who has no real convictions, no firm princi? ples and no policy based upon anything more admirable or more durable than his own personal advancement." Politicians yesterday were of the belief that the guiding genius of the "new party" would be William Ran? dolph Hearst.
