President Small -Declares - Striker Will Sleep in Streets Before They Will Give in to Com panies and he,Will-U Go With Them. Chicago, August 16.-Coupled wit the declarati..p of Presiden+ S:r all. o the T'..r4t ers' Uniod, that. he an .his followers are ready to starve i the gutter before they will surreiide to,the telegraph companies, the strik situation in Chicago to-day becam even more. serious- with the threater ed walk-out of a number of allie tradesmen. President Small declare that the operators never would sum render to the telegraph companie and that the only possible way to se cure their return was through the teli graph companies granting the de mands of the new wage scale. "Tb men and wohen of the Telegraphers Union are ready to starve. They wi sleep in the streets if necessary, an I will go with them before they wil surrender,'' said the chief. Wires to outside markets were nc working in better order than on pre vious days. The Western Union an Postal had their wires to New Yorl St. Louis and Minneapolis manne by wo operators each. The storm aa ded to the companiets' troubles, number of wires having been eripple( The telegraphers' war became mor general when the seven hundred ope ators working .in packing companie throughout the country left thei keys. Another walk-out occurred i the private wire systems of the Star ard Oil -Company. Two hundred Star dard Oil men left their posts whe: they received the call from Presiden Small, ordering a general strike. It was said at union headquarter that all the telephone and telegrap companies had met the demands o its men for a 25 per cent increase i pay, and that the question of th eight-hour day would be settled witl out trouble.

In it the operators' chief i declared: "Now that the strike has t - been general, we will make the most ; determined fight ever waged. It v will extend all over the country. The c b men and women of the telegraph r have suffe-ed so long, that it is no wonder they have finally broken the t bonds of sfavery. They will starve, d 7 and if need be they will sleep in the e i street, before they will surrender, and S ) I will starve and sleep in the street c a with them rather than suffer de- t - feat.'' SV I SITUATION IN NEW YORK I SOfficers of Companies Say Strike Or- e der did not Hurt Them. e r New York, August 16.-Officials of o - th telegraph companies in New York a a said today that .the general strike or- t der issued from Cicago at 1 o'clock v e this morning by President Sam Small, e r of the Commercial Telegraphers' Un ion, had no -effect on the situation t i either in this city or elsewhere. All 1 the telegraphers who were in sym- c pathy with the.strike mov nent had t already gone out, they said, without s orders from Small, and the latest s mandate from' the head of the union was, because of that fact, practically inoperative, s The union leaders in Chicago main- s tain that at least 5,000 men will be a added to the fold of the strikers by r the new order. The only operators in New York likely to be affected by the latest strike order are those tele- r graphers employed by wire houses in g Wall street that have hot-yet signed s the recent -schedule with Local No. 16. Though most of the brokers in the financial district are reported to have agreed to the increased wage a t scale, there are s6me of the houses, F I notably that of J. S. Bache & Co., 42 1 e Broadway, that have refused to agree a e to the demands of their telegraphers, a but no reports.of walkouts from these I houses were made today. Although union men declared that it they expected many of the wire chiefs C employed by the Postal and Western Union companies to be influenced. by r the last general 'order officials of those companies denied today that a there had 'been any break in the ranks 1 of the operators that remained loyal ~ s in the walkout of Monday last. 1 A report reached the union's head 5 quarters at 56 Pine. street this after- ~ t noon to the effect that the officers of - the American Telephone and TelIe- ~ s graph company had signed a new wage-scale and immunity agreement with the Telegraphers' union, which I should be binding on all the com - pany 's officers throughout the coun try. Thiis report was promptly. de- ~ s nied~ by C. 'H. Wilson, general super intendent of the Telepone- Company. ''No demands have been made on our company in behalf of the. telegraphers we have in our e'mploy,'' said Mr. Wilson, ''and we do not expect any. B We have heard no initimation of grievances among our telegraphers.'' Mr. Wilson explained that the 1 American iTelephone and Telegraph 2 company did not employ more than } froma 300 to 400 telegraphers through- 2 out the country.' There are about 35 1 f in their New York offices. I ''The telephone does not send gen a eral telegraph messages,'' said the su- 1 r perintendent, ''it merely works leas- 1 e ed wires in conjunction with its tele- 1 e phone service.'' - Daniel L. Russell, chairman of the 1 strategy board of the telegraphers' ) i local, called again at the attorney -general's office today and had a con s ference with Deputy Attorney Gen- t eral Chas. R. Dolson. The deputy a told Russell that in order to have the alleged incompetency of the telegraph e companies to deliver messages by wire in timely season brought legally [1 before the attention of the attorney general, it would be necessary to draw .1 up formal charges and append thereto whatever proof the union officials t might have in suppor,t of their claims. c The strategist of the union said af- t ter his conference that the union had :, secured proof that the telegraph com-. panics were receiving full rates for -messages which were sent out of town a mai! or in cases of urgeney, by L long distance telephone. e ,He believed that Attorney General -Ja. - n would see in this an infrae s tion oi e charter rule& under which r the telegraph companies operate. a. Today was pay day at the offices of* the telegraph companies. According -to -the custom of the companies of a witholding a' week's pay on the run t ning account of each operator, the strikers drew today a week's pay s lus the wages for the unfinished week interrupted by the :strike. Offi f cers of the union said today that a in many instances the pay vouchers e were mailed to the homes of the strik ers with the word ''final'" stamped i aeross the front.a sitn aa .TJohn .T.

New York, August 16.-Interest in be telegraphers' strike centered to ay in the probable effect of the gen ral strike order issued by President mall, of the National union, which alled upon all operators employed by le commercial telegraph companies iid those working private and leased -ires not under contract to go out. hroughout the East there were few any response to the call. This was xplained on the ground that all op rators who would now strike had al eady quit work, and here the strike rder was given importance only as ffording official sanction to the ac ion already taken by the strikers ithout the previous approval of or onsent of the national officer. Both the Western Union and Pos al companies claimed not to have een affected by President Small's all and to be working their wires etter today than before since the trike was declared. Business, it was aid, was again moving smoothly. The Associated Press was not af ected adversely. On the contrary everal of the men who had left the ervice in the East returned to work fter the strike order had been pro iulgated. Willing to Arbitrate.
