POSITIVE assurance budI q very ISW Oh bnS1r
men will obey the brotherhood's behest in
case strike is ordered.
The brotherhood men profess to believe
that the Northwestern road is inclined to
yield to their demand, and that there is a
feeling among the strikers not to hurry
matters in that quarter. The strikers here
admit that there was hitch of some
sort in carrying out the in
tentions of the executive committee
relative to the railroad operators strike
and that the Western men, to whom the
secret orders of the brotherhood are con-
fded, have made mistake of some sort,
or have mistaken instructions.
The following dispatch received here
this evening from the association superin-
tendent of the telegraphers of the Wa
bash system of the southwest:
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 6.-The strike or
dered on the Wabash road to-day, was
complete failure, only four men went out.
Signed, G. G. KINsMAN.
This is understood to mean that only
four men went out in the entire system.

claim That the orders for the railway op-
orators TO come out to-day miscarried, and
that the orders for. Chicago did not ar

men, however, say Tonight, that the
orders are nov belng distributed at the
Offices Of The company in this city, that
| messenger has been sent down the line to
Bloomington, distributing copies and that
the strike viii begin to morrow morning.
They claim the men on the south
ern divisions Of the Alton ard Wabash
struck tonight. They also claim that the
Wabash men here we're notified tonight
and that seven out of the sixteen men have
quit work. The statement cannot be con-

regarding the telegraph strike is unchang
ed. The operators of the Delaware, Lack
awanna & Western road were all at work
at noon to-day.
CHICAGO, Aug. Cup to o'clock to-
day no telegraph operators on the rail-
roads leading out of this city had quit
their keys. At the general offices of the
Chicago & Alton the statement was made
that none of their employees had left up
to that hour, and the same was true of all
| roads having their headquarters in this city.
The officials of all lines have apparently
guarded against an emergency and have
arranged to run all trains by printed time
tables in case any number of men going
out should make this necessary. So that
ne delay in the running OF trains will
occur in any event.
