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.

demonstration before the Capitol June

and that delegations would be sent

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.

master General Burleson's order :
storing-the operation of the telegra

panies reduced the possibility of

master General Burleson.
"In expressing our pleasure over Mr.
Burleson's action we don't want it to

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

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?

obtained her card.

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.

Hearst Writes
Of New Party
For Radicals
Editor in Announcement
Forecasts Formation of Or?
ganization That Will Have
Presidential Candidate
"The New York American" yesterday
carried an editorial announcement un?
der the heading, "Mr. Wilson's Bid for
Support of Predatory Plutocracy Will
Fail," signed by the paper's owner,
William Randolph Hearst. 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.
