VOL. XVIL
SIRIKE HERE IS CALLED OFF
”l 5! P MNS’
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, March 22 —*“Having
conducted themselves in such a manner
as to disadvantageously affect the in
terests of the Government,” Clarence H/
Mackay, president; W. W. Cook, gen
eral counsel, and William F. Deegan,
secretary, have been removed from the
operation of the Postal Telegraph Ca
ble Company's land lines under Gov
ernment conrror, Postmaster General
Burleson announced this afternoon.
The order also includes the board of
trustees of the company and A. F.
Adams, president of the Kansas City
Home Telegraph Company, has been
appointed to succeed them, Burleson
added.
The order, it was explained, was
made necessary by the fact that since
the Postoffice Department refused to
grant that company the eompensa
tion asked for, the officials have “re
fused or failed to follow out the imn
siructions of the department in th
management of the properties, ana
failed to put into operation promptly
the wage schedule and the eight-hour
day, and in various ways endeavored
to embarrass and discredit the Gov
ernment operation of the wires.”
Reason for Refusal.
The reason for the refusal et
department to grant the compcnu-j
tion asked for was that the awom‘
statement, submitted to the Interstate
Commerce Commission in behalf of
the company, piaced the net income
for 1917 at $117,264, while the sworn
statement they made to the wire con
trol board as a basis for compensa
tion placed the net income for the
same year at $4,485593.34, it was
stated.
The value of the plant and equip
ment of the Postal Tetegraph-Cable
Company sworn to in the company's
return to the Interstate Commerce
Commission for 1916 was~ $6,647,472,
but the officials of the company de
clined to make any statement of val
uvation to the wire control voard, it
was explained,
The order, after citing the legisla
tion, and the proclamation of the
President under which the Govern
ment assumed the wire systems and
the order of the Postmaster Genera!
directing that of all of the officers
continue, concludes as follows:
Order for Removal.
“The president of the said The
Mackay Companies, Clarence H.
Mackay, its general counsel, W. W,
Cook, and its secretary, William J.
Deegan, have failad to carry out the
orders and instructions of the Post
master General and have conducted
themseives bafore the public and with
the operating force of said system in
such a manner as to mater&;lly and
disadvantigeously affect the®interests
of the Government and the operation
of this and other telegraph and tele
phone systems under Government
control.”

FALEAS ri{ww
, By ROBERT G. PREW,
IStafi Correspondent of the I. N. S.
PARIS, March 22.—Widespread re-
Ip(n‘ls circulated in America that the
Italians have prs\sn-u‘le«l an ultimatum
lln the peace conferenec-that unless
they were given the port of Fiume
they would withdraw to Rome and
make 2 separate peace with Austria-
Hungary, were denied today by the
Italian press representative. It was
asserted that there was no truth at
all in the entire report.
The President conferred with Pre
mier Orlando Saturday, talking over
the entire situation. It has been sug
gested that the United States agree
to further economically -assist Italy
until normal conditions are restored,
in consideration of which Italy will
make several concessions in her orig
inal territorial demands. It is hoped
that this solution may be worked out.
The Italians are pressing their col-
ieagues in the peace conference to
hasten the preparation of the treaty
with Austria, declaring it absolutely
necessary that this ve grven equal
precedence with the German peace.
Otherwise, it is stated, it will be im
un%
content M‘u ghout . 2%
ing that this contention has merit,
the peace conference has promised to
take such action if it is possible,
There are so many conflicting in
terests involved in the Italian situa
tion, however, that headway is ex
tremely diflicult. The demands of
the Jugo-Slavs are absolutely irrecon
cllible with the Italian claims. The
situation is, of course, cause for some
concern, but the delegates are certain
of ironing out the difficulties.

Hoke Smith Verifies
Retention of Gordon
WASHINGTON, March 22.—1 t was
announced at Semator Hoke Smith's
office Saturday afternoon that the
War Department had decided to re
tain Camp Gordon as a permanent,
camp and to use the cantonment as
one of the training centers for the
peace-time army. Senator Smith was
highly pleased that his efforts in be
half of the camp had been successful.
It is impossible to forecast the
number of men who will be kept at
Camp Gordon after the war, but be
lief is here that this camp will be
one of the few infantry training
places and a comparatively large
number of men will be stationed .nt‘
Atlanta. The War Department willl
soon perfect arrangements to con- |
vert the camp inte a permanent one,
according to advices received by Sen
ator Smith.

Mrs. Odalit~ Wallace, figure in alienation and divoree suit, who
refused to sppear with her 4 children in Superior Court Saturday.
Judge John T Pendleton, in Supe
rior Court, Saturday sounded an ulti
matum that Mrs. Odalite Wallace,
central figure in a $50,000 alienation
suit brought' by her.husband, Robert
Bruce Wallace, local automobile
salesman, against J. F. Sullivan, his|
former employer, must produce her
four children before him next Sat
urday, or else he will dispese of them
without her presence. v
This action followed the repeated
failure of the young wife to bring the
children—three little girls and a boy
~-into eourt in response to an order
signed by Judge Pendleton in pro
'coodlnn instituted by the husband to
‘take them from ner. The unsuccess
ful effort of Saturday was the fourth
made to bring the case to trial. Mrs,
Wallace, with the children, is still in
Newberry, 8. C,, outside the jurisdic
tion of the Georgia courts, where she
went several weeks ago, following the
domestic break.
Says She Is Defiant.
¢ Judge Pendleton, when announce
ment was made Saturday that Mrs,
Wallace and the children were not in
court, remarked:
“It looks very much like Mrs. Wal.
lace has no intention of coming to
court,”
Attorney Ernest . Bentley, counsel
tor Mrs, Wallace, stated to the court
that the young woman was unable to
come to Atlanta, but that it was her
’purpom- to comply with the order of
court and produce the children,
. He presented a certificate from a
physician in Newberry, explaining
that “Mrs Wallace and the children
were not in condition to muke the
trip to Atlanta” Judge Pendleton,
however, held that such a certificate
was not sufficient, as it did not even
state that Mrs, Wallace or either of
the children was ill, Attorney Ralph
McClelland, of counsel for Wallace,
declared to the court that the physi
cian who had signed the certificate
is an uncle of Mrs. Walluce,
Insists on Trial.
Attorney MeClelland insisted that
the case be tried Saturday in view of
Mrs. Wallace's repeated failure to
appear in court, but Judge Pendleton
suid he would:'lve her one more week
of grace, If she is not able to come
to Atlanta, her testimohy will be
taken in deposition form and read to
the courl, it was expected,
B. E. Brooks, of the Brooks-Callo
way Construction Company and the
Brooks Motor (‘,um‘puny, stated Sat.
yrday that J. I, Sullivan, the man no
cused by Wallace of winning the love
of Mrs. Waullace, I 8 no longer con
‘nected with either concern. The lnat
‘heard of SBullivan, it was explained,
was several weeks ago, at which time
he was in Oakland, Cal,

There appears to be a gang of

lowing an extended conference with
B, L. Winchell, regional director, and
W. L. Mapother; Federal manager.
“Since the grand lodge officers of
the brotherhood have declared the
strike illegal there is no alternative
for the striking N, C. and St. L.
clerks but to return to work without
delay,” said McGhee.
"“We are compelled to abide by the
decigion of our grand lodge o‘o.n
and trust to their ability to secure
redress of our grievances. Accord
ing to the constitution of the brother
hood, the strike was illegal and noth
ing can be gained by attempting to

“We are confident that in taking
this position we are doing the rignt
thing and we are sure that, having
complied with the request of the di
rector general and of our own grand
lodge officers, we will get a square
deal from the administration,
“l am doing all in my power now
to get the men back to their duties at
once, and I belleve that every one will
be back at work before night. The
need for their services is great, and
we can a.ccomnl]lnh more at this mo
ment by meeting that need than by
dllpumg the decision of our grand
lodge officers.
“No vote will be neecssary to bring
the strike to an end, because it m
not called through a referendum
as our constitution provides. ¢
“So far as Atlanta is concerned, the
strike is at an end. We belleve that
the clerks on the line will indorse our
action by returning to work.™
Reports that all strikers would not
be re-employed were not given cre
dence by MeGhee, who said he had
been asked by Regional Director Win
chell to “get all the men back to work
at once
Believe Inauiry Likely,
Whether the demand of the clerks
for the removal of Federal Auditor
Ottarson will be complied with could
not be predicted by officers of the
local brotherhoods. The belief was
prevalent, however, that an immedi
ate Investigation would be held, with
opportunity given the strikers m&:-

of the adjustment board in Washing~

on the N, C. & Bt. 1. R. R,)” is In ac
cord with his statements to the di
rector general and myself,
“I have assured Mr, Forrester that
earnest and friendly effort will be
made by Mr. Mapother to restore to

now be vacant, and as rapidly as va
cancles occur in future, those of the
