their support to the strikers.
THE SITUATION UNCHANGED.
CLEVELAND, July 22:-The telegraphic
situation is not materially, changed. The
Western Union company, had to-day
all the operators necessary for the Sanday
| business, and expect tomorrow that some
| members of the brotherhood will 90 to
work. The strikers appear confident and
| claim they have initiated half dozen to-
day, two OF them outsiders who had filed
| vacancies at the Western Union. They are
encouraged by report received here that
the Baltimore & Ohio will concede what
the executive committee demanded and by
the statement of further concessions at
Detroit and elsewhere.
WILL PROPOSE NO .goMPROMIss.
New YORK, July 22.-The Central Labor
union have voted the telegrapers financial
aid to continue the strike.
The Plymouth RocE was crowded with
striking telegraphers On an excursion to
Long Branch to-day.
force of fifty operators were on duty
at the Western Union Office to o-day and
reported all business to important points
was clear and that no delays were now
necessary. The company claims to be
able to carry on its business and no COM
promise will be proposed.
ANOTHER FEATURE oF THE GREAT STRIKE.
WASHINGTON, July 21.-The Western
Union company had about dozen men
on duty at the main Office to-day, incIud-
ing the chiefs. The striking telegraphers
have their headquarters at the National
hotel, where the landlord has assigned
them suite of rooms free of charge as
long as they have need of them. At a
meeting the following action was taken by
non-members Of the brotherhood now at
work in the Western Union Office here:
We, a aiority of the operators who have
remained at work here, have signed a pa
per pledging ourselves to withdraw our
services from the Western Union company
at stated time during the coming week,
unless the executive committee of said
company show disposition to negotiate
with the operators with view to an ami.
cable adjustment of the Ipending Difficult
ties. Although non-union men, we are all
heartily in sympathy with the movement
lnaugurated by the brotherhood
AT NEW YORK SATURDAY NIGHT.
New YORK, July 21.-At meeting of
telegraphers to-day kilograms were receiv-
ed and read from various parts of the
country from labor organizations, express
ing sympathy with the strikers and offer
ing financial assistance should that be
desired, and addresses were made by sew
eral persons. The strikers will 90 on an
excursion to Long Branch tomorrow on
the Plymouth Rock and hold another
meeting on their return to the city. The
feeling that the Western Union company
cannot hold out long against the strikers
is very confident. To-day forty three new
members were initiated in the brotherhood.
At the Western Union Office it is said there
is still full force at work, and that mes
sages are sent to all points with
out delay. 1t was thought the
American District messenger boys would
strike to-day, and about fifty
from some of the uptown offices endeavor-
ed to induce others to quit work. The
movement, however, was not general, and
when the company offered to pay the boys
ten cents an hour for extra work, in addi-.
ton to their regular salary of 81 and SIS
week, and two and one-haIf cents mes
sage, they were perfectly satisfied to re-
main at work.
| PUBLIC SYMPATHY WITH THE BRorHRRuooD
INDIANAPOLIS, July 22-The telegraph
situation continues unchanged. The
striking operators are confident and express
the belief that the company will ultimate
ly be compelled to yield to their demands.
Several public meetings of the strikers
have been held which were addressed by
prominent citizens, among whom were
Colonel Maynard, editor of the Sentinel
and ex-mayor Caven. The tenor of the
addresses have generally been in sympa-
thy with the striking element and the local
press have given pretty generally and
fuil reports of both sides of the
controversy, but they editorially sympa-
thlze with the strikers. The telegraph of
hclals have been untiring in their efforts
to dispatch business promptly, and it is
claimed that with few exceptions there has
been no delay at this point. On Saturday
Manager Butler reported that he had
thlrty-seven operators on his pay roll, and
no dummies, fifteen or eighteen of whom
were irst-class and the balance of a me-
dunn class. The strikers are diligent in
cnpturlng operators who come to the city
tor employment, and inducing them to
join the brotherhood. A number were en-
rolled yesterday and to-day.
AT SAN FRANCISCO.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 21.-There is no
change IN the situation in the telegraphers'
strike here, but Yreka is still disconnected.
Ihls is expected to be eremedied tomorrow.
All business is being readily handled. As
soon as communication is re-established
with Portland all trouble will cease in this
district.
DONE NO SUCH THING.
CLEVELAND, July ga report has been
published that General Supt. P P. Wright,
of the Lake Shore railway, has directed
his telegraph superintendent not to com
pei any of his operators to take the places
OF the striking operators, in any Western
Union Office, that all the men discharged
for refusing to perform such service shall
be reinstated, and that any willing to do
SO may be allowed to fill the strikers
places, but none of their own offices shall
be crippled by so doing. General Supt
Wright informs the Associated Press cor
respondent that such report is untrue.
He has issued no such order or directions.
