Brotherhood of Telegraphers was in ses
sion yesterday morning In New York.
Ono OF the members said he did not know
how long a time would be allowed the
Western Union company to reply. He
could not say whether strike would be
ordered should the reply prove satisfac
tory. When the reply is received the
operators will determine what to do. An
official of the Western Uaion company
said the matter was to be taken mp at the
regular meeting of its executive com mmittee

sent, sit is probable tha. the executive
committee will send reply to the COM

them on the ground that they do not re-
present the operators, but at the same
time expressing their willingness to
redress any grievance of any man or
woman employed by the company" He
added, further, that fully one third of the
