New YORK, July 1S.-A feverish feel
ing exists in tslegraphio circles over the
threatened strike. Every person interested
ia anxioualy awaiting the result of the
executive committee of the Western
Union directors What that result will
be cannot yet be predicted.
The COMMITTEES of the brotherhood held
a meeting this morning but what went
on then could not he learned. Cipher
dispatches were received by the commit
tee from various points that the operators
are in readiness to leave their desks al a
moments notice. 1t was said that every
means would he taken to render the
strike general one for in this event only
would it he successful.
W. b. Somerville of the Western Union
company said to day that there seemed to
be little possibility that the company
would grant the request and that the
strike seemed TO be inevitable. The de-
mands were unjust and unreasonable, and
If the strike should happen the company
would fight it to the bitter end.
W, j. Dealy, the manager of the oper-
ating room of the Western Union, said he
did not believe strike would bs COM
menced without mature deliberation on
the part of the operators. This morning
there WAS an unusually large force
at work in the office, numbering
between 600 and 700, with only nine
sbsentees from the regular force. The
ordinary number Of absentees was from
Is to %. He said he had at least so let
ters from employees of the company prom
ising 10 stand by it in the event of q
strike.
There were 90 chief operators in the
office, each having under him from Is to
| 25 men. This morning a canvass was
made by these chiefs among the operators
to ascertain, if possible, the real
strength of the disail-cted portion and
how large q force might he relied
upon in csse of strike. The report
showed that out of q operators IL were
| doubtful and nine promised TO stand 10y

that this proportion represented the divi

Western Union TO day declined from
SOC to 7s5 ou reports that the Telegraph

for Increased pay and shorter hours Of

Monday received with courtesy the seven
members OF the Brotherhood of Tele-

the COMMITTEES, and it is understood that
such list is now preparing. 1t is re-
ported that there is not the least likeli'
hood that the demand tor q Is per cent.
advance Of wages will be complied with.
Similar demands were presented in
Baltimore to the officers of the Baltimore

has also been served on the American

has been made in San Francisco, and it
is reported that operators in Denver are
not in sympathy with the movement. 1t
Ia claimed that the Baltimore Il Ohio

mands, and the same ia said of the Cana
dian companies.
A prominent member of the brother
hood in Philadelphia said Monday that
refusal of the demands did not neoes-
sarily mean an immediate strike, and
that the railroad operators would be
called upon to support the brotherhood's

pected an amicable arrangement. He
