E. Fletch- er that he could outrun Bert Campbell | He -told the story from its inception to its conclusion and the only answer he could give to the question as to why he | put up his money on something that he | admittedly knew nothing about was that he had been foolish.

He said that Grunauer had requested him to act in that capacity and an agreement was drawn up that his de- | ctston would be final as to the winner of the race. He denfed that he had given | any decision, although the defense at- tempted to show that when Heuston and | Moore, the two judges, said that Camp- bell was the winner Burns nodded his | | head. He was questioned about the agree- | | ment, but said that nothing was in it as | to two men being appointed judges. He | wae asked to produce the agreement, but i! said he did not have it and no one seemed \ | | | | to know where it could be found.

LINEMEN DEMAND UNIFORM WAGES Ultimatum Presented to Pacific States Tele- phone Company. A uniform wage scale from Vancouver to Los Angeles is the demand made by the Western conference of the Interna- tional Brotherhood of Electrical Workers upon the Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph Company. After three days’ secret session the delegates called to set- tle the strike of the telephone linemen in Los Angeles yesterday presented this ulti- matum to President John I. Sabin and threatened a general strike on the whole coast if its demands are not met. | On May 6 the Los Angeles linemen struck for $3 2 a day, the same paid to linemen at Seattle. Their wages had been $3 per day, the difference being made, ac- cording to President Sabin, on account of the greater cost of living in the northern city. The electrical workers have protested against the lack of uniformity upon the grounds that it is unfair discrimination, but President Sabin declares that the present wage system is based upon the exigencles of livelihood in the various cities, and it will not be changed. He sald yesterday: “The strike at Los Angeles has not bothered us, for men have been return- ing to work ever since the strike was called. The wages of linemen in Los Angeles will remain the same, notwith- standing the secret meetings of the unions.” ———————— NAPLES, June 18—The North German Lioyd steamer Hohenzollern, from New York, June 4, has been slightly damaged in a collision with the Dutch steamer Konlg.
