6 STRIKE CALLED OFF; WIRE LINES FACESEIZURE President Is Expected to Take Over Systems Under Law of 1866 Washington. July S.—The strike of the Western Union called for this I morning was declared oft last night after William B. Wilson. Secretary of Labor and Samuel Gompers, pres.: ident of the American Federation of Labor, communicated by telegram *nd telephone with S. J. Konen- j kamp. president of the Commercial Telegraphers' Union, who is in Chi- j cago. Announcement that Mr. Konen- j kamp had agreed to indefinite sus- j pension of the strike order was made ! here, following a long distance tele-1 phone conversation between the! union head and the Secretary of Labor. Xo Official Statement There was no official statement on j the reasons cited by Secretary Wil-1 son and Mr. Gompers which per suaded Mr. Konencamp to call off the strike beyond the statement that "there would be no interruption in telegraphic communication at this time." but there were indications last night that the President might be; expected to act to-day. The head of the operators, it was; understood, was given some definite j assurances, which grew out of a con-' ference yesterday between Secretary ■ Wilson and Postmaster General | Burleson, who would be in control of the telegraph lines in the event of; government operation. May Act Viuler OKI Ijiw Although lacking official confirma tion. there was reason to believe the President might avail himself of the provisions of an act of July 24. 186. and assume control of the telegraph lines, pending the passage by the Senate of the Aswell resolution, pro- j viding for government control of • telephones, cables and radio, in ad dition to telegraph lines. The statute of 1566 would permit the President to take over the tele graph lines as a military necessity, and the AsweP. resolution would em power him t place them, as well as other methods of electrical commu nication. under government control . and operation. Should the President take such ac- ; tion to-day. it is held by Senate! leaders that the Senate would be re- | quired to forego a recess and pass the Aswell resolution. The President indicated very; clearly Saturday that he believes federal control of the telegraph lines of vital importance at this time, by the manner in which he exerted his influence to prevent the Senate re cessing without acting on the Aswell! resolution, which the House passed Friday.
