These men. who through the exciting days ana
nights OF the past summer rendered such efficient
service to the press and through the press 10 the
country, complain that they find their efforts TO

opportunity to make overtime are frustrated by
the influx into tho Western Union ONCE

II will be seen how great hardship the evil works

than the average tecgrapher, one clerk of the
War Department, one operator in the employ o

the time that these people have been earning pin
money In the Western Union Office many
