Local Operators Walk
Out From Western Union
and Whole Coast Follows
Postal Maintains Its Service Here, but; l
Men Are Expected to Desert '
Keys at Aiiy Moment
;.The Western Union operators in 'this city .'and- Oakland 'walked out at 5.
o'clock last evening. 'Notice of the strike was flashed to Reno/ Seattie, Port
land, Sacramento, j Goldfield and Tono pah, and from those centers radiating
wires carried the news to every office in the west. By 6 o'clock the ; Western
Union was virtually without a service on the Pacific coast In a few places
specially leased wires were operated, '''and the <: Postal company did its best
to meet the heavy "demands -j placed;, upon it. The Call's pleased wire was
choked with news, and was the only line bringing a complete service into
\u25a0 the city. \u25a0'- • . '. \u25a0_•\u25a0- '-.;\u25a0;.\u25a0 ''\u25a0;. \ _ ~V.': : , \u25a0 . ' "/"'!..-
The operators of the Postal company have not been called out yet, but it
is expected that' they; will be in the- very near future. :;' : ": ; ;' . .
New York had no communicatiotiTwith . the west, north or south,- save
for a few wires last night, and by; today itis expected eyen~-Wall-strect'will
be closed up .as a result of thecxtensioh of 'the strike into that center of the
nation's commerce and* industry." s i '^.
The temper of the union operatorsjs to fight to, win,' and they, declare
that it will be a contest to a finish unlessthe Western Union will agree to live
up to the letter and spirit of the Clowr'y-Neill compact of last June/ and the
more recent agreement signed by Nejll,; Miller,* Storror and 5 Small. "Either
victorj'," they say, "or the government jwill;haye- to; take f possession of> the
wires If messages are to be transmitted
and the~businej}B of the country - at
tended to." " .
The "Western Union and Postal of
ficial* have fairly/ accepted .the- gage
and will fight back to the end, they say.

. . , POSTAL OFFICES OPEX '^
' The 'only offices on' the coast that
were open last night were those of
the. Postal company' in San -Francisco,
Seattle and Ban Diego. = The rest of the
wires were, dead and [the '\u25a0 keys ; In the
thousands of telegraph . offices -scat
teredo In towns and" villages y up and
down the Pacific slope were sjjerit.:
Both sides are gatherin g^ themselves
together for the struggle. The teleg
raphers rely upon the aid of the, United
Brotherhood of Railway 'Telegraphers,
Which has offered its treasury for. the
fight. There is some probability, haw
ever, that even, the railroad keymen #
will walk out, tdo.^This will be-a cer
tainty if they are asked to handle
Union business. *The i Asso
ciated Press operators, as a part of the
Commercial telegrapher'sj union, will
share in the benefits from the rail
way operators' aid.' .
General '. Superintendent Frank
Jaynes, wbo is in. entire charge of the
Western Union system on the coast, de
clared last evening that his company
would be able to handle all business
within a very short time, as nonunion
telegraphers were being ' assembled
throughout the country. "Our Instruc
tions from the east are. simply to do
as we have been doing— the . best we
can until the strike is broken,'\he said.;
The members of local 34 give, as their
reason for the strike ,the~ charge that
the Western Union: officials, Assistant
General Superintendent I. N. Miller Jr.
and Superintendent A. 3 , H. May, have
refused positively to take back, the
union operators who .were discharged
last week^ The union ; contends that
the agreement was violated flagrantly
and" that It had no choice but to strike.
The Associated: Press did not accede
to the_ demands of its employes and
at 5:20 the press keymen left their In
struments.
COPPS MAKES STATEMENT
Deputy President s Gopps, acting head
of the telegraphers, gave out the fol
lowing statement ,iast r - night:
"lean only say that the- walkout of
the Westera Union operators voices the
Sentiment of the entlrb telegraph world.
The Miller-Storror-Nelll-Small - agree
ment, so far as the "Western Union'M
egraph company, is concerned. < has ! been
violated time and again, both. in letter
and spirit.' :'•' fX" ?'
rC "Six men were discharged' today, for.
refusing to .work with .nonunion 'men.'
The » walkout ' could ' hay been 'averted
had Mr. Jeffs', chief operator, ; nott used
his nonunion'men-. to man these wires.
Two other ;. meji were .discharged ; on : ; a
trumped up charge £ that i they t 'intim-.
idated' one of '\u25a0\u25a0 the -'loyals.'." The charge
could not be substantiated and Mr. Miller

Eagdn Gdhunitiee in Conference
on Eve dflßattle With Casey
McGarthy« Declares- That Gornelius Is
aPpor-Car Striked Manager
A lively meeting of-the union labor county committee and its candidates
for seats In the v municipal convention was held last night in Arcade hail.
P. H. McCarthy: expressed his opinion of the ability of Richard Cornelius to
manage a strike,: Chairman Thomas F. Eagan announced that George F\
Duffey, president of the board of public works, would not be a candidate for
delegate, and]. Timothy O'Brien' accused two candidates on the regular ticket
in the thirty-ninth district of being traitors to the party. .
The meeting '.was in the -nature of .a .final conference preparatory to
the work at the primaries. Prominent^
in the gathering were numerous deputy j
sheriffs, deputy county clerks^ deputy j
r eco rders \ and " employes of the boar d -of
public works. . : , •
. Chairman; Eagan;began< the .proceed
ing with a brief speech in which he de
i clared that the opposition- was a? "band
of ; : hypocrites" Jw tiose obj ect, as i . \ ex
pressed by their, leader, Michael Casey,
was to kill the union labor party. Ea
gan lauded the -men who stuck by; the
county committee- arid predicted the
nomination v of a ticket that would
prove successful at the polls.
Timothy O'Brien announced that he
had' seen : "William Dunn and P. Mc-
Goldrick, candidates for delegate In
the thirty-ninth., in conference' with
','that traitor Michael Casey," and. de
manded that, they be expelled from the i
party.' He, wanted to say more, but
Eagan headed him off by saying: "This
Is "not "a meeting of the county 'coni
mittee. -If" you will prefer 'charges
they will be acted upon at 'our next
meeting." *

* ? F:i H McCarthy responded to " a cal 1
for ~'i a . speech^ ; "The opposition * will
learn tomorrow; night about this time,"
*heTsald.\.''that not a precinct : in , any

-The crowd cheered and McCarthy
continued: , "I' have never figured out
that Jin' Cornelius could do anything,
• and that is -why I took up the fight
for: the carmen."
. Chairman Eagan made several an
nouncements. "George F. Duffey has
voluntarily withdrawn from the ticket
in -the thirty-eighth district." he said,
"and the name, of Timothy Hayes has
been substituted. Our committee has
taken summary action in the 'case of

HEAVY VOTE IS
NEEDED TO
WIN
Real Battleground
to Be in Four .
Districts
Successes There Mean
Control of Convention
Thirty - seventh Is
Richest Prize
in Quartet
Fisk Makes Desperate
Effort to Hold District
George A. Van Smith
The thirty-seventh, thirty-
eighth, thirty-ninth and for
tieth districts, which will
elect 70 out of a total of 149
delegates to the republican
convention, will be the real
battleground contested to
day by the Herrin forces and
the antiboss republicans led
by Daniel A. Ryan.
Success in these districts
means Control of the con
vention. Combined with the
smaller districts -that may be
safely conceded to either
side, the 70 delegates from
these four big republican
districts would constitute a
safe working majority in the
convention and an absolute
control of tho ticket.
The. leaders of the antl-Herrln regu
lar republican league are confident that
they will win the sweeping victories in
the four bis districts. They have rnada
a comprehensive campaign and put up
tickets composed of representative
men. whose names are guarantees of
the good faith of their antlbosa pledges.
The success of the Kyanltes depends
largely upon the manner In which th«
republicans of these districts tarn out.
"With light votes the machine tickets
will be elected- Every ' tnfiicatlon Is.
however, for a heavy vote In each of
these districts and heavy votes always
spell ruin for machines and machlna
tickets.
The thirty-seventh is th« richest
prize. The district will seat 20 dele
gates in the convention and under nor
mal conditions will poll a larger repub
lican vote than any district in .the city.
The machine fortes in the thirty-sev
entrr are commanded by Postmaster Ar
thur Flak, whose district leadership
and influence with the Herrin organiza
tion are at* stake. Fisk has willingly
enough acknowledged responsibility,
.for the ticket, which he purposes to
elect regardless of cost.

been conducted by Fi3k through Deputy
