Status of the Telcgraphers' Strike at Home
and Abroad.
The great fight between the West
ern Union Telegraph company and the
operators still drags its slow length
along. The true state of affairs is very
difficult to ascertain. The telegraph
company allege that it is able to ham
die its business as usual and promul-
gate bulletins stating that there be no
delay in the transmission of messages
and that the strike does no
material damage. On the other hand,
the
MEN WHO ARE "oUTo
Deny these statements IN toto and de-
clare that the + deman Is will soon
be complied with. From the newspa-
pers throughout the country, the sym
pathies of The people appear to be with
the strikers. The Latter by private adj
vices keep posted as to the progress of
| the strike all over the country, and are
| persistent i'm their declarations
that matters are working smoothly for
them and the victory will eventually
| be theirs. La the work the strikers
appear to he well supplied with money,
but in TeXas, although they have so
far kept STIFF UPPER LIP, they do
| not seem to be so flesh of cash. Their
embarrassment, if indeed they are eni-
barrassed, is only temporary, for the
brotherhood is branch of the knights
of Labor and so strong an organ
! ,iZatiOn will not suffer
any of It's members to want. In Hous-
ton they have already come to the
relief Of the operators and will no
doubt continue to supply them with
| the sinews of war, until q remittance
shall arrive rom the grand treasury.
THE GENERAL. IMPRESSION
seems to be that although tue Western
Union has made good fight it can
The Tho .touptsu arc e. becoming more
C nfdent day by day and assert boldly
that few hours will witness the ter
miuation of the struggle. In CONVEX
satiou with striker yesterday GA
ZETTE reporter was informed that pri-
vate advices to the brotherhood say
that the telegraph offices ut New Or
leans and Galveston are ready to
"THRow UP THEIa HANDS"
In Dallas the strikers are
confident and declare that they will
STAY out until their terms are agreed to.
Although they have received remit
tances from the general fund of the
Brotherhood and offers of assistance
from the business men of the city,
they have gone to work to raise
msney without taxing their
friends pocket books. They per-
fected arrangements for grand
picnic and b II, which was given yester-
day and the tickets, which were sold al
fifty cents, were purchased by the
beral hearted people of Dallas who
were anxious 10 assist the striking OPP
orators. Here
IN FORT WORTH
the situation remains unchanged
The men who have stuck by the
company are still ON deck.
On Sunday the men obtained some
rest. and for day or two they VIII
feel comparatively fresh. Two new
mon have been sent to this once aho
| the others are thus somewhat relieved
Whether these men will remain falih
ful to the company or join the ranks
of the strikers is n conundrum. Iht
"outsn appear very confident, and as
sert THAT their cause now wears bet
ter asnect than ever. One of them IN
formed GAZETTE reporter yesterday
.hot the executive board of the broth
erhood was called into consultation 10y
the management of the telegraph com
many early in the afternoon, and th'
! oninion prevails among them that
l sattJement of their differences will be
. reached i'm a few hours. The outs
annear confident that the great strik'
: viii now he settled and the men re
turn to work at once.
