Thru the president's interven- tion at the last moment seven bridal couples are coming home on the George Washington. The gtooms are private soldiers and were members of the president's guard in Paris. They were sent ahead to Brest, but when transportation was sought for their brides the em- barkation officers said there was the entrance of the Elliott exchange: no place for them. The grooms sent a joint wire to the president, who instructed the authorities to find room for them on the ship. ‘The grooms include David Pow- rs, of Chico, Cal. tory to feeding the girts employed as strike-breakers.

At that time the unions firet pre sented their demands for a new wage scale to take effect January 1, 1919, when the company’s con- tract with the girls expired. The proposals were sent to Post: master Burleson who is in charge of all the telephone systems in‘ the country. Meantime the girls had taken a referendum vote and deter. mined to strike in case Burleson did not grant the increase and rec: ognize their union. On the threat of a nation-wide phone strike Postmaster Burleson in May recognized the phone girls’ union and authorized the company to immediately start negotiations with the girls. The threatened strike was officially called off June 16, 1918, Operators in California and Nev- ada were dissatisfied at the slow action taken by the company and a strike in those states followed with the resulting conference of union and company representatives in San Francisco. Miss Mabel Leslie, international organizer, is in charge of the ‘phone strike in the Northwest. Before leav- ing for Portland Sunday night, where she is investigating strike conditions, Misa Leslie predicted that the strike would be a success. Says 850 Walk Out “The first day of the strike in Se- ttle was a huge success. Our roll- call reports show that 850 out of our 900 members have walked out.” Miss Leslie spoke before the Elec- trician Workers’ union in the Labor temple before leaving for Portland Sunday night. Following her talk the electricians took the strike vote. LINCOLN, Neb., June 80.—Neb- raska Knights of John Barleycorn will hold sympathy celebrations to- day with substitutes only.
