NO SETTLEMENT OF DIFFER
ENCES IN SIGHT.
Companies Claim That They are No
Seriously Embarrassed by Strike
and .New Men are Added.
New York, Aug. 17.-The earl
coming of President Small and th
conseqnent shifting from Chicago t
thi; city of Executive direction of th
strike is awaited by the idle telegraph
ers of the East. Just when Mr. Smal
will reach here the union men coul4
not say- tonight. They expect that h
will he here within a few days. The:
hope that he will be able to brin,
about a better situation from th
strikers' standpoint.
Ther were few developments to
day. One Wall street brokerag
firm refused demands made by it
eight operators today and when th,
latter quit, immediately filled thei
places with non-union men.
The Western Union and the Posta
Telegraph companies reiterated to
night that they are doing busines
without serious inconvenience. Th
str5kers, for their part, still insistei
that the situation was satisfactory.
The press and other leased wir
serviee is fast reaching a normal bas
is.
NEILL'S EFFORTS IN VAIN.

to Visitors.
Washington, Aig. 17.-CommiL
sioner of Labor Charles P. Neill ai
rived" home today from Chicag
where he went on a vain effort to ef
feet a settlement of the telegraphers
strike. He dieided not to see visi
ors today and as soon 'as he reachei
the city went to his home. For th
present he is taking no part in th
telegraph strike situation but says h
is ready to act as mediator if calle
upon.
25 MEN ADDED IN CHICAGO.
A Number- of Str*ers Applied fo
Old Positions.
Chicago, Aug. 17.-The Wester
Union today added 25 operators to it
working foi-ee 'in the main office i:
Chicago. The .men arrived at!
o'clock from New York and were a
once set at work. A number of strik
ers applie:d for their old position
during the day.
No Change in Charleston.
Charleston, Aug. 17.-The tele

for publication.
TELBGRAPHERS WALK OUT.
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

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.

q.iarters. 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

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

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

raphers -Utaiding there to return to

harge should be sent them with their
ay checks. He was unsuccessful.
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.

Chicago, August 16.-It was an
ounced late today that the Tele
raphers' Union would consent to
bmit their case to arbitration.
