predicts that he will in the same way
treat the Postal Telegraph Company.
The Post, usually conservative, declares
the weakening Of Western Union is due to
the fact that it has lost q very large
amount OF business in the last month, and

mess by reason Of the t~elegraphers' strike
has been probably equal TO one-half of its
ordinary volume Of business for the month.
