New York, August 16.-The strik ing telegraph operators may be en acting one of the tragedies which the introduction of labor-saving machin ery has brought about. The Postal bas a machine which takes the place of eight operators and needs but a single wire for Its operation. The Western Union has a dozen machines In use. each of which does the work of four operators. It ls admitted that the strike will be the means of forcing the compa nies to install additional machines. Within a comparatively short ?line j t all of the main offices will thus be tl equipped, and the old-time operator will be largely confined to the smaller offices, where there Is not enough business to warrant the great expense of buying and operating the ma chines. All that ls necessary to operate one of these machines is knowledge of how to operate a typewriter. A girl may write a dispatch at one end of the circuit on a typewriting machine, and a typewriter at the other end of the wire automatically records lt. Nothing is necessary at the receiving end except to feed a sheet of paper into the machine. Four messages may he sent at the same time from either end of the wiro In the case of the octuple machine, or two messages may he flying across the wire in each direction simulta neously.
