THE BIG STRIKE.

L
Special t, the Times Democrat
NKw YORK. July 25.-Ths FIRST week
OF the strike has passed, and The
peaceablo disposition and orderly
conduct Of tho ct, iksrs has called out
universal conmondation. They have
made many friends among The gon-
eral public and in businots Gil clss'
In private conversation they talk
very decidedly and positively oftheir
expectations, and seem to have no
intention Of waverine. Their deter.
min alton is the subject Of comment,
and even at the executive Offices the
greatest surprise is expressed that
tLey should, in view Of the situs ton,
be determined to hold out. It can.
not be SAID that. to outward appear
ances, the understanding between
the company and its operators. or
Brotherhood committee. is any bet
ter than it was q week ago. 1t Ia
generally conceded that the telegraph
business is being done with fair
promptnoss and correctness; many
aggravatipg delays occur however,
which are not fully explained by the
uniavorable condition for the last
three days.
NEW YoRK. July 25.-The reading
Of dispatches from various parts OF
the country continued to-day as US.
ual at the meeting OF the striking
telsgrsphers. Several communics-
lions, coming from operators now in
the employ of the Western Union
Company, wero road by Chairman
Mitchell. Taey showed that business
WAS crowded and Was being handled
only With tie greatest difficulty. IL
is stated that on all important wires'
moSaagos were piled up, and many
dated July 90 arc still en- flo. Dis
patches from Washington, Baltimors
Boston. Chicago. Pittsburg, philndel-
pbia, Albany and Syracuse were read
by the chairman. Tney were as u.s.
nal. full OF encouragement to tbs
strikers. Speeches were made by
KoLler, Brewer and Kius,ley OF the
Brotherhood.
The Board OF Aldermen to-day
passed resolutions OF sympathy with
tho telegraph strikers.and demanded
that the 90 mpanies DO compelled by
tho State Authorities, through loyal
process, to restore and maintain
prompt Transmission Of messages
An interview had to-day with mem
Der Of the subcommittee appointed
ny the Western Union to hear griov-
anccs o: employees, revealed the fact
that only three psrsoas have had
communications with them; one OF
these had been dismissed for cause,
and another whose nnme was already
on tue LIST for promotion, The com
mitiee hal a.c0rtainod that during
the past IL months 5000 employs,
had had their salaries advanced on
merit; and further, that three several
lists were 10 tho hands Of officers, by
Recommendation, Of the chiefs Of the
different departments, for advanced
salaries for meritorious sesvice. The
subcommittee did not consider the
question Of tho strike, except that
incidentally o feeling Of satisfaction
was expressed in regard to the pres
snt posture Of Geographic mattars.

Early last Saturday morning an attempt
at burglary was made at the Brick Flour
ing Mill of May, Weber & Company.
Before proceeding to their work the
thieves entered the machine shop of Ku
merit Brothers taking therefrom chisels,
files, sledge hammer, tongs and other tools
necessary in house breaking expedition.
Arriving at the Office the fellows tried to
effect an entrance through the window
which they were able to pry up only
few inches, so failing in this they broke
the lock of the door and gained ad mis-
sion. Two safes are in the office but is
was evident that only the smaller one
was molested. The handle was broken
and hole drilled at the shank but at
this stage of their operations the burglars
were no doubt disturbed iii their work as
they appear to have left suddenly with
out etfecting their purpose and secured
nothing. AS matter of course no burg
lar visitation here woulG be complete
without the Office of Hamlin & Ford was
raided, and sure enough their Office was
also entered, making the fourth time this
firm has received attention from burglars.
An entrance was effected through the
side door and with a sledge the visitors
proceeded to knock off the knob of the
combination lock and break the door but
did not continue at the work long enough
to get at the inside Of the safe. Here as
in the case of the mill safe the thieves
were unrewarded for their pains but sue
ceeded in making bad havoc with the
safe, damaging it to the amount of some
$75. 1t is the impression of Hamlin &
Ford that the fellows were after their
books knowing that there is no money
eyer kept in the safe. In procuring the
books the use-breakers evidently
thought good sreward would be offered
for their return. 1t is great pity our
officers have been unable to apprehend
these scamps.
