THE NEW YORK SITUATION.
New YORK, July pa week of the
strike has passed and the peaceable DISPOSE
ton and orderly conduct of the strikers
has called out universal commentator.
They have made many friends among the
general public and in business circles. In
private conversation they talk very de-
cidedly and positively of their expectations,
and seem to have no intention of wavering
Their determination is the subject of COM
ment and even at the executive offices the
greatest surprise is expressed chat they
should, in view of the situation, be deter
mined to hold out. 1t cannot be said that
to outward appearances an understand
ing between the company and its men
or the brotherhood committee is any bet
ter than IT was week ago. It is generally
conceded that the telegraph business is
being done with fair promptness and cor
rectness. Many aggravating delays occur,
however, which are fully explained by the
unfavorable condition of the last three
days.
