Gen. Eckert, b=ing shown the Chicago die
patch stating that Dr. Green was reported TO
have Instructed him 10 coDcede 10 the ue-
mands Of the striker, said at once and em-
phatically that not only has DO such dispatch
been received, but that Dr.. Green had in his
last cablegram expressed dramatically op-
posite sentiments.
The reading of dispatches from various
parts CT the country continu d to-day az
usual at the meeting Of the strikiDg teleg-
rsphers. Several Communications coming
from oper erators nov in the employ Of the
Western Union Company, were read by
Chairman Mitchell. They showed that busi-
ness was crowded, and was being handled
only with the greatest difficulty. 1t was
stated on all the important wires messages

ern Uuiou 10 hear the grievances Of en-
ployes, revealed the fact shat only three
persons have communicated with them. O0e
of these had been dismissed for cause, and
another's name was already on the list fer
promotion. The committee had ascertained
that during the past twelve months 1000 en-
ployes had had their salaries advanced on
merit, and further, that three several lists
were in the hands OF the cficers, by recon-
mendations of the chefs OF the different de-
for advanced salaries for merit
Gus service. The subcommittee did no.
consider ihe question of the strike, except
that incidentally a feeling Of satisfaction
was expressed in regard TO the present posi-
tion Of telegraphic matters.
The Board of Aldermen to-day passed
resolutions of sympathy with the telegraph
strikers, and demanding that the companies
be compelled by lhe State authorities,
through legal process, to restore and main
tain the prompt transmission of messages
The 5 O'Clock bulletin issued by the West-
ern Union Company shows there was consid
erable delay on many of the principal wires,
owing to the unusual pressure of business
during the day, bat ia was expected that the
night force would be able TO clear up the work
before morning. The greatest delay was in
reaching points 10 the South, Chattanooga
and New Orleans being four hours behind.
Western wires were also crowded, principally
those TO Chicago, s.. Louis aad Buff 10.
There ia yet no disposition on the psrt CT the
company to meet the demand Of Inc strikers,
and the rumor that compromise had Deen
Effected was emphaticslly denied by the
officers OF the company. They claim that
!he situation is continually improving, and
hat prac icsl victory has been won over
The s,rikers. The American K apid Com
pany having granted the terms OF the
strikers, its whole force which left their desks
will be at work a5aip Tomorrow morning.
