issued from here last Saturday fell into the
hands of the telegraph officials to-day:
To all the Operators and Agents Of the Iron Noun
tain Railroad.
Unless otherwise notified. all members work
ing for the Iron Mountain road will suspend
work at noon, st. Louis time, on Tuesday, Aug
Z. 1888. Agents should not refuse to perform
their duties as agents. but absolutely refuse to
touch key. Mail me at once notice OF your
concurrence with this order. By order of the
executive board of Brotherhood of Photographers

NJ. u. SHAW, Secretary.
Charles w. Hammond, superintendent of all
railroad telegraph lines on the Gould South
western system, received to-day from NJ. d.
Shaw, secretary, a communication in behalf
of the operators on the Iron Mountain road,
demanding an increase of $40 per month on
all salaries now paid; that no salary shall be
less than $50 per month, and that all Sunday
work shall be compensated as extra service.
Mr.. Hammond will not pay any attention to
the demand, but if the operators on the road
go out tomorrow he will man all important
offices with Other men, and, if necessary,
close all minor offices along the line of the
road. He has no fears but he will be able to
transact all the business of the road with but
little, if any, interruption. The Wabash
officials have no information at this writing,
beyond the fact that three operators have
gone out at Decatur, ILL.,, and three at Spring
field
