At New York.

NEW YORK, July 0,-At 10 O'Clock this
morning there were singulsriy few evidences
Of strike about the Western Union build
ing. There was the usual activity about
the receiving windows, but nothing more.
None OF the strikers appeared, either in the
basement or the operating rooms. The ex.
ecutiye department we're early On the
ground and full OF business. Not small
part OF their occupation was the reading OF
cOngratulatory and encouraging kilograms
from various Offices and superintendents OF
the company
THE EFFECT on BUSINESS,
"What effect will the strike have on
business John Campbell OF the execu-
tive committee OF the Brotherhood was
asked.
The yioleu. fluctuations in oil were
Gagged by the knowledge that none but
trst.cass opera !ors are employed In the oil
regions and that they will all 60 out with the
rest. The average number OF messages
handled daily between PittsbuIg and Oil
City is about 1900, and there is probably
not a message being sent between these
two centers to day. The effect on business
will be very disastrous. The committee
fully realizes its awful responsibility. The
company would not recognize us and We
had no other alternative"
"How about the cablesr'
81 am positive that the Mexican cables
landing at Galveston, Texas, the Cuban
cables landing at Jacksonville, Fla, and
the French cables landing at Duxbury,
Mass, are stopped. They may possibly
get a message or two, but they cannot pos.
sibly handle the business, 1t may be gem
orally stated that all cable communication
between this country and the rest Of the
world is practically suspended"
