The Telegranllers, Strike.

In accordance with an order issued by the
Telegraphic Brotherhood the members of that
body, throughout the United States, struck at
noon on Thursday last, July 18th. This step
was precipitated by the refusal of the Western
Union Company to entertain the demand of the
Brotherhood for an increase Of pay and fewer
hours work or recognize the association in any
form whatever. As result, the Geographic
service of the entire country is partially sus-
pended, and the striking operators, who num-
Der several thousands, and are the most capable
in the profession, claim that the companies will
eventually be compelled to grant their demands.

thanks to the publisher of this splendid paper,

1854 and 1865. l am panied TO report that they
are grossly and openly violated, and that seldom
is any inquiry made into the matter. Thousands
OF old crippled veterans, III every way compe-
tent are pushed aside and those who never
aided the Nation in the hours of trial pre-
ferred.
take it that we who never asked the pas
sage of this law, and without whose services
the statutes would have been a nullity, have
q right to demand the rigid enforcement of
statute 1154. We have right to know the
standing of each Department. of the Govern
ment upon this question and hold to strict
account every gross aud open violator of this
chartered right given by the Nation to the
crippled and diseased Union soldier. regret
to say that many of our comrades holding posi-
lions, whose proper administration demand
large force, employ very few of our comrades
and in some cases have turned them out to
make places for civilians. OF course I under
stand that this has been done upon the re-
quest of some politician, who desired to re-
ward some Que for political work, but flour COM
rades in such positions would firmly refuse to
submit to such dictation and plant themselves
firmly on this law of the land, they could hold the
fort and no one would dare modest them. 1uzgs
