Tue Philadelphia Ledger says, in re-
gard to the telegraph strike:
Az far as Philadelphia Is concerned
there wan practically no change yester-
day In the relative positions OF the strik'
ers and the companies with whom
they are warning. Much interest was
by the strikers in the news
regarding the action Of the
employed on :he Chicago
and Alton Railroad and the Delaware,
and Western Railroad
The time for the employees Of these
two corporations to 60 out on strike
was fixed at noon yesterday, and after
that hour news from those quarters
was eagerly looked for. No infOrlna-
ton. however, came to hand during the
afternoon, and this absence Of news
was regarded as rather singular by the
A number Of rumOrs were
atioat as TO what had or had not been
done, but these were found to he the
merest guess work.
Mr.. Laverty had not single line
from New York up to late hour, and
said that if there was no strike the
companies had probably arranged with
the men as to terms. Manager Jones,
of the Western Union, at the same
hour, was equally uninformed, with
the exception that at one o'clock the
"perators of the Delaware, Lackawan.
ma and Western had not gone out, he
had received despatch to that effect.
"Ifthis is the trump card, said he,
"that the men talked so mysteriously
about, it rather looks as ifit would be
a revoke As to our Company have
no news az we stand no news is good
news Imay say, nv the way, that
we received to-day IA Wa,niu !ion Strik-
err, and also one of the Philadelphia
strikers returned to work. All through
the district the work goes we'll"
Later in the evening Mr. Jones said:
" Since saw you last have received
advices from Chicago and Scranton.
The Chicago and Alton men, although
ordered out by the Brotherhood, did
not go. Not "A man went from that
road. As 10 the Wabash people, but
four went out in compliance with the
order, and their nlaces were immediate
ly filled. The Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western men remained at their
posts, Notwithstanding the order. The
hing in my opinion appears to be a
grand fizzle, and shows great lack of
obedience On the part of the men to the
orders of the Executive Board of the
Brotherhood. "
NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The threatened
strike of the railroad operators, which
it was announced would occur at noon
to-day, did not take place. The Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western, Bal
timore and Ohio and Wabash COmpa
MES, which refused tUaccede TO the de-
mands, say that none of their operators
have yet struck. No explanation of
the change of plan has been given by
the officers of the Brotherhood, and il is
thought that the failure ofthe
having been forseen by
them, the order was not given for the
strike.
NEW York, Aug 6-Mastpr Wo"k.
man Campbell tonight announced that
all the operators employed on the
Western division of the Delaware
Lackawarma and Western Railload
had struck as ordered by the Brother
hood. Those employed on the Eastern
division will 60 out to morr al noon,
he said
BUFFALO, n. ", Aug. 3.-Mosr OF
the operators employed on this di-
vision of the Lackawanna Road struck
at room to-day. The company was con
siderably incOnvenienced, but all the
trains were able to run as usual 1t is
said that 81 ont of 100 operators joined
the strikers The striking operators had
a benefit at the Academy OF Music to
night, and realized handsome sum.
CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-Up to one O'Clock
this afternoon no telegraph operator
on the railroads moving out Of his
city had quit their keys. At the gene
raj offices Of the Chicago and Alton
Railroad the statement was made that
none of their employees had left up TO
that hour, and the same was true OF
all other roads having headquarters
in this city. The officials OF all ,h'
lines have apparently guarded against
the emergency, and have arranged IL
run all trains by printed time tables
in case the number of men going onr
should make this necessary. No
delay in the running of train'
will therefore occur in any event.
