In this case it is estimated that
the strike will have the financial as

Translal ed this reads:
Great excitement here. Anxiously
waiting result of the demands. Boys
are confident and all is ready.
Before some of the operators left
the Offices they "monkeyed ap the
wires" a technical phrase for
switching off connections, pulling
up pegs and creating a general con-
fusion. This, however, was against
the Instructions of the New York
Brotherhood, who. in their strikes,
never NEEDLE with the company's
property. The malicious act is at
tributed to the personal spite OF
one or two operators. and the ma
iority of the strikers have likely
condemned their act. This delayed
the company several hours. Sew
eral operators have been sent to
Yreka, the repeating agency for the
north, and there are enough out
side operators in Portland to handle
the Office in that city. The Ogden
matter will be more difficult, IS it
| will take several days to fill up at
| that post. There are, however, q
few men left, SO partial communi-
cation with the Esst will still be
| maintained. The Deming office
will not be recruited for couple
of DAYS, as the desertion there was
total.
The Brotherhood in the East want
eight hours day work, or seven
hours night work considered a
days work. They want Sunday
work to be non compulsory, and
to be paid extra and wages to be
uniform. In many instances they
claim pay is based on favoritisn'
rather than on merit.
! THE BOYS FALL INTO LINE.
The messenger boys who deliver
the company's dispatches were In
fected with the strike, and q out Of
81 quit work. The boys don''
quite know what their grievance is,
but they have made demand fol
Que and half cents on newspaper
kilograms, and three cents on prl
vate message. The boys marched
down Montgomery street this
MOI ming, and seemed mighty proud
Of their connection With the move
ment.
| The telegraph company have
Fl led the places Of the striking
messenger boys with boys from tht
| San Francisco District Telegraph
| Company.
| The strikers are laying in wal
| for the new boys to whip them
when they come out Of the Office
with messages.
