2 for the sake of peace, the fact has become patent that In union, labor circles there has been a growing dif ference of opinion in. regard to the manner in which Cornelius and Bowling have been managing tie af fairs of the union. This state of affairs was further aggravated by the recent action of Cornelius In taking a place on the Casey ticket in opposition to the -wishes of P. H. McCarthy, presi dent of the building trades council. This action of Cornelius was resented the more for the reason that the bulk of the campaign fund which has en abled the carmen to carry on their fight against the company had come from the building trades council. It is known that Cornelius is will ing to step down and out if he is convinced that his presence . at the head of the organization stands in the way of a settlement. Cornelius made this clear to the campaign committee at its meeting on Thurs day. At that session one of the del egates arose and called for the.res ignation of Cornelius, basing the re quest on the part Cornelius had taken at the primaries. The request was supported by other delegates, but op posed by Andrew Gallagher, presi dent of the labor council, who re cently became 1 a member of the cam paign committee, and by Delegate Smith of the painters' union." The point was raised that if poli tics were to be dragged into the mat ter there were others who had been active in behalf of their candidates and that it would be discrimination to select Cornelius for slaughter. Cornelius arose in the meeting and replied at some length. He said that he did not desire to resign because of his political activity, but that if his retirement would in any way hasten to bring about a settlement, he said that he would be willing to step down. It will be recalled that President Calhoun of the United Railroads has always maintained that he was not opposed to unionism, but that he was through for all time with local No. 205, at the head of which are Cornelius and Bowling. The plan as Calhoun de sires it carried through, it is said, contemplates practically the reorgani zation of the union in a manner which amounts to the* formation of a new union. There is much uncertainty as to the manner in which the striking carmen would, be taken back in case a set tlement was reached. The proposal of the company, it is understood, con tains the condition that as many of the old men be taken back as the com pany, has room for, the others to wait for vacancies. On these matters there is said to be a disagreement which threatens to disrupt the negotiations which have reached the stage where a little giving here and there would end the trouble. DETECTIVE BUREAU IS MAINTAINED BY GALHOUN Patrick Calhoun has a detective bureau located in the same block in Van Ness avenue •which supports the office of William J. Burns, the special agent of the graft prosecution, through whose efforts the confessions t>f the boodling supervisors were secured and Calhoun indicted. The president of the United Railroads is not the visible head of the bureau, but he Is the power be hind the gum chocs. The Calhoun bureau is located in the Countryman building at Van Ness ave nut and Ellis street. In the Delbert block. Van Ness avenue and O'Farrell street, is the Burns headquarters. Luther Brown is chief of the Calhoun Sum shoers, the rare old sleuth of the antigcaft prosecution. Brown is an importation from Los Angeles, where he has detected and done that sort of thing for years. In addition to his Nick Carter reti nue Calhoun has a publicity bureau that would make a theatrical star sore from envy. Throughout the state Cal houn sends literature telling how raw is the work of the Heney-Spreckels- Lajigdon-Burns people. This "tainted news" agency is almost as keen as is the Calhoun gum shoe legion. For some purpose not yet disclosed by the Calhoun darklanterners an es pionage has been established over the doings of the Burns people half a block away. HOME COMING CROWDS TAX CAPACITY OF TRAINS Passenger traffic over the Southern Pacific was a record breaker yester day, according. to the officials on duty at the ferry and at Third and Town send streets, owing to the fact that many people returned from their sum mer outings so to be in the city in time to start their children to school on the first day. Another thing which added ma terially to the general travel and did much to make the "Standing room only" sign popular was the unprecedented number of picnics which were held at different points Just far enough out to compel oce to take the train to reach them. In the "morning the ferries and every train leaving the city were loaded down with happy looking crowds, searching for one day's freedom from the dusty streets. Then late in the afternoon the same faces were «een trooping past the gatemen. looking just as .cheerful, if not so clean, as in the morning. "We are doing all we can to accom modate the Sunday crowds, but what are we going to do when we have de mands for 18 coaches, like we did to day, and there are only 10 available?" asked a perspiring railroadman, tie he banefully eyed the last of the return ing picnickers. The railroadmen are not the only ones asking that question. The steam ehipmen. say passages to and \u25a0 from Seattle are being booked far ahead on every boat running and .that it is a rare thing for any steamer to clear for Seattle or from the latter city to San Francisco with a berth vacant. The steamship President on her last trip to Seattle carried 400 passengers while the Watson went into the same port with oi-er. 100 names on. her pas senger list" \u25a0--- V The travel is so heavy on the steam ers that the officials refuse to honor any passes with th« exception- of "anuals."

Western Union Asks Arizona Governor to Protect Office Editor Stirs Hornet's Nestjia Struggle for News LOS ANGELES, Aug. 18. — Serious trouble is threatened by the strike of the Western Union operators 'at Pres cott, Ariz. Because of the .failure of the telegraph company, to transm.it Associated Press .reports "violence has been threatened the company's prop erty and Superintendent F. H. Lamb of this division has appealed to Gov ernor Kibbey of Arizona to protect the interests at Prescbtt. The gov ernor has replied that he has "been assured that there wlll\be no violence used In the strike. The Western Union office at Prescott is closed, tVo of the operators having struck in response to the order of President Small and : a third, who is manager of the office, be ing 111 and unable to attend to "his duties. The Journal-Miner, an Associated Press paper at Prescott, following the closing of the local telegraph office, wired the correspondent of the Asso ciated Press at . Los Angeles: "Have secured operator to take press stuff exclusively. Wire us immediately if you can furnish service. Arrange with Lamb." \u25a0\u25a0';;, '\u25a0{' The correspondent replied that the news would be furnished if the West ern Union could transmit It. Superin tendent Lamb wired the Journal-Miner as follows: "Associated Press has shown me your message; we cannot permit the arrangement you suggest." It was Lamb's contention that he could not agree to serve one person to the exclusion of the public in general. -To Lamb's message the Journal- Miner then replied: "Tour reply de clining to send press matter has been bulletined. This is a strong union camp and union labor men threaten to wreck your office, unless you supply Associated Pres service, as they are greatly interested in the strike. Would advise you to do it and save trouble for both of us. Have lojrjj to our office and we have our own operator." Immediately upon receipt of this message Superintendent Lamb wired Governor Kibbey at Phoenix; asking protection of the company's ' property. The message to the governor was as follows: ::',.'.t-'i "I respectfully state that we propose to reopen our office at Prescott when we are ready to do so, and in the meantime the "Western Union telegraph company is entitled to the full protec tion of the law, in its property, the per sons of its employes and in the law ful and peaceable pursuit of its-busi ness. The reply of the Journal-Miner was either sent to intimidate me -Into complying with its request or there is danger of serious damage to the'eom pany's property. On account of the tm possibility of communicating with the sheriff of Yavapai county by. telegraph and with the'bellef that the danger -to the company's property Is . imminent, I respectfully call upon you as the chief executive of the territorj' of Arizona to exercise your authority to protect the Western Union." Governor Kibbey's answer, received today, was: "I have communicated with Prescott and have . been assured that you need apprehend no violence to your office there. I wili.be kept advised." Cable Men Will Not Join Strike, Says Postal Official Government Is Alarmed Over Prospect in the Orient Although fears 'were' expressed yes terday, based on information from the east, that the telegrapher*' strike would tie up the Postal cable to Manila, it was authoritatively stated yesterday by officials of the telegraph company that such a contingency -was improb able, because the cable operators were not members of the commercial .teleg raphers' union or affiliated .with it In any way. The government' s v apprehen sion was doubled because, should "the cable service be discontinued, it would be necessary to send all- federal mes sages to Manila via China and Japan.' The government of the mikado would In that case have easy access -to ; the wired correspondence between Manila and Washington. \u25a0 . . '.- * :.- • .
