such operators are employed and paid by
the lessees, unless an attempt is made by
| the Western Union company to utilize
these operators in handling matter con-
nected with the business of such private
firms. An authoritative statement from
the strikers, presenting the case from
their standpoint, is premeditated, and
probably will be given out this afternoon.

force to handle all the business Offering
thus far, and is confident he will be able
to continue to handle it.

THE STATUS IN OHIO.
CINCINNATI, July 19.-At the main Office
of the Baltimore and Ohio every operator
went out and business was wholly sus-

there. At the Western Union Office a
guard was Immediately placed to prevent
outsiders entering the operating room.
All the operators about the Office were put
to duty up stairs. Notice had previously
been given to all operators not members
of the brotherhood to come in case of a
strike. A number of responses have
been made already and force of over
thirty operators are now on duty. Supt.

one operator has struck at Columbus

have full working force.

CLEVELAND, July 19.-The Western I'm
ion company, by making a temporary
draft on other departments, has more oper-
ators at work tonight than customary and

has connections. Most of the old opera

1869 are working the keys tonight, some
remaining in their places, others volunteer
ing totake the place of the strikers. Only
two who were in that strike are in this
one.
