No Prospect of TeIcgraPhic Com.
promise.
Ii is believed the strike of the telegraph
operators viii seriously interfere with the
business of the company. There is nc
| prospect Of a compromise between then
and the Western Union Company. The
opposition telegraph companies arc doing
| q good business to-day in consequence OF
the inability Of the Western Union to dc
| the work.
The telegraph operators of this city
held tVo meetings to-day, which werC
numerously attended, including the lady
operators. Very encouraging reports OF
the extensive strike and of the spiri
manifested by the fraternity from Chicago
Boston, Washington, Baltimore, Cincin
natl and other points was read by thu
Secretary.
Also dispatches, announcing that the
non-members of the League have joine(
their brother operators in the cities o
| ViCksburg, Houston, Austin, New Or
leans, Mobile, and many other places
states in the most emphatic Language
that they will stand by their brother op
orators Throughout the country to the bit
ter last.
On motion, it was agreed that nOu
members of the association who shOul,
support the strike would receive the bCnC
fit and protection of the organization il
the future.
At the afternoon meeting a statelnen
was made which interests the genera
public to some extent.
1t was stated that large quantity q
telegraphic matter was on the hooks i
the Western Union Telegraph Office await
ing transmission with but a slim prOspCC
of reaching its destination in season fc
business purposes.
The delays in this branch of the bus
ness can be readily appreciated, when W
state that there are but about a dozen OF
orators in the New York Office TO do tn
business which, previous to the strike, II
duired the services of almost 100.
The operators, almost without exCCl
ton, expressed themselves that, if I'll
Executive Committee of the Wester
Union Company persist in their refusal t
accede to their demands, they will see
other means of livelihood and never r.
turn to their instruments.
