Mr. William Teeling, a Conser- vative Parliamentary candidate, noted author and a frequent con- tributor to the London Times on world social affairs, reached Manila late last night after an eventful trip from Baguio,

·VIR

He left the mountain resort against the advice of friends last Saturday, driving an automobile, and accompanied by Senor Ramon Roces, a magazine publisher, son of a well-known newspaper owner.

The two men were cut off from Baguio and their route to Manila was impeded soon after their start by the foods which followed the typhoon. So they decided, since roads were impassable, to walk to Manila.

They had several narrow escapes and were once caught in a landslide, Teeling was buried up to the knees. but managed to struggle clear. At une point they accompanied a dead man across a river on a home-made raft.

At Dagupan they were forced to climb a tree in order to enter a hotel which was surrounded by ten feet of water. They amused them- selves in the hotel by catching rice

snakes on the floor.

As a result of their enforced stay in the flood area, Teeling missed the Hongkong steamer yesterday and will probably not all for British Colony until next week.- Reuter,

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT WON'T SURRENDER

(SPECIAL TO “TELEGRAPH")

(By Telegraph. Copyright, Telegraphic Messages Ordinance, 1894. Received, Aug. 10, 8 a.m.).

Los Angeles, Aug. 9. One thousand skilled union workers on work relief projects here have gone on strike, and their action affects directly another 14,000 unskilled men.

Mr. William Green, President of the American Federation of Labour, announced to-day that similar walk-outs would probably spread to Chicago, Cleveland, San Francisco and Seattle. New York is already in the grip of a strike,

The strike of the relief work employees is regarded as the commencement of a nation-wide stoppage, for, Mr. Green says, Labour believes it can compel the Government to pay unionists union wages instead of mere subsistence allowances.
