The Situation of Affairs in the Western
Union at Washington.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-It is probably true
that the back of tie strike is broken, but it Is
not true that the offices of the Western Union
are properly or satisfactorily manned. Press
dispatches get through after fashion, but they
are bunglingly sent and more buuglingly re-
ceiged. 1t requires special training to handle
Washington matter. Plugs butcher it shock
ingly. This, fortunately, is a duh season In
Washington, and probably not to exceed 10000
to 10000 words are sent over the wires to the
newspapers, nightly, by special correspondents.
In winter and during sessions OF Congress it is
not an uncommon thing for 100000 and 200,-
900 words TO be filed in a single night
at the Washington office. During the
Garfield sickness 10000 words was
not above the average. In Ave days more than
100000 words went over the telegraph wires
to the press OF the country. Washington CORE
spondents filed $50 900 words at Cleveland on
the night following Gsrtield's funeral The
cream of the photographers of Chicago, Detroit,
Cincinnati and Buffalo were there to handle the
matter, and they only did it fairly we'll. Scrub
operators from country towns, who are para
lived by the filing of dispatch Of 1900 words,
are filing mp city offices. The best of them are
put upon newspaper work, but the best of them
are incomparably inferior 10 the old force. 1t is
folly to deny this fact The Western Union peo-
pie are denying it just the same, however, and
insisting that their offices fully equipped for
business.
