Treasury Depleted and no Mo Funds Available?Strike Without President's Sanction. New York, Oct. 12.?Following visit to this city of Labor Commi sioner Neill, President Small of t J Telegraphers' union this uftemo< took decisive steps to close the tel graphers' strike. He sent' the f( lowing telegram to all of the lea in^' cities of the country: "New York, Oct. 12, 1907. "Prominent New Yorkers appei ed to me to call the strike off. / efforts at negotiation are exhaust and the companies' oilicials say th will fight to a finish. The treasu is dcplated and no more funds a available. Requests for relief frc all sides are heavy and urgent. T general assembly can not meet the |l The strike having been ordered wit out the president's saction, I recoi mend that locals vote on the propoi tion." STRIKE FUND EXHAUSTED; BUT MEN REMAIN FIR] New York, Oct. 13.?-President J. Small appears confident tod: that the strike was at an end ai hopeful that his men would be rei stated. "The strike will be called off t morrow and the men will bo back M work," lie said. ? "Will you give a word of advi to the men as to whether they show vote to call it off and seek reinstal ment?" he was asked. . '"I will cover that point at t meeting today with Hie men in N< York," he replied. "The object in sending out 11 statement to the men yesterday w to put the question right up to the Our resources are exhausted and Jr' they want to continue the fight th will have#to furnish the funds." - . "Percy Thomas says you have $1) f 000 in the treasury," was suggest* "Th whose treasury?" asked IV Small. "We have $15,00, but not f strike uses. That is a mutual her fit fund for insurance. If we ha money why couldn't we pay off he yesterday? Rut there is always ta of this kind at the end of every kii of strike. T have been through abo five rumors of this kind since t strike began in San Francisco and does not bother me any more. Mr. Thomas wants to fight the ca ing off the strike lot him do so. am going to that meeting today wi bravs knuckles. Generally lab leaders advise each other to disi gard the sufferings of their m when a strike is on, but T will not that to the very last ditch. We mig hold out a couple of weeks longer ' nothing but encouraging talk, but t result would only be that the m of the weaker characters would slowlv returning to work while t ? ' stronger men would hold out and sv fcr the most just because they we the most staunch. There would n be any union left." "What if the locals decline to ci it off?" he was asked. "Well, there will be nothing to but keep up the fight as long they can, but it will be up to them provide funds. The strike was in gular from the beginning." "Then the strike is hopeless and might as well be abandoned?" "That is it," replied Mr. Small. New Yorkers Hold Out. Notwithstanding President Small opinion that the strike is liopcle: j the telegrapher's union, at the met ing today, voted unanimously to ec tinne the strike against the Weste Union and Postal Telegraph coi panics. The vote was taken upon the su gestion of President Small, who, messages to subordinate officers y< terday recommended *that locals I the various cities vote upon t^>c a ) 9 \ visability of tlie men returning to work. J} The meeting was characterized by bitter exchanges between 1 'resident Small ami other speakers. The latiL ler charged the national leader with inconsistency in tirst claiming that the strike would be successfully finro anced and yesterday admitting that the general assembly was without funds, and with having; conducted the fight in jj half-hearted, dilatory a way. Small tried to explain his posits tion, but was frequently interrupthe ed by hisses. When he suddenly left the hall in le- the midst of the speeehmaking cries )l- of "resign" followed him. Tonight <1- Small issued a statement in which he said he was willing- l<> continue the strike if the men insisted. il ^11 Small Suspended, ed Chicago, Oct. 13.?'The following W message was sent to President Small ry by the executive committee tonight: re "Under article 15, section 7, of in the constitution of the Commercial he Telegraphers' union of America, you m. are hereby suspended from the office h- of president, to take effect immedm iately. si- (Signed) "S.

Tt is not. a settled fact that thi consolidation will be made. It ca be done only by order of the pros dent, and the matter has not bee placed before tliat official. H is a idea of Cupl.

'''he quotation is from Mr. IToyt's Columbia letter printed in the News and Courier yesterday. ! An excellent, compliment to governor Ansel that friends urge him to bo i a candidate for the United States i Senate; but the work of Governor Ansel in his present office is not vet 1 ?"<l will no| he done in another ' Vl>ar* Governor Ansel's election was a vindication of the local option priui V-iple and that principle is now i threatened.

If the General Assembly should enact a prohibition law. it would he repudiation and defeat lor the Ansel plan; if it ' do not enact it, the struggle will go ! on and Governor Ansol must stand to his guns in the next campaiirn.

The truth of what he says every informed man knows, but many a governor would fear to givj it utterancc.
