Is nothing particularly new from any point.
As far as my dstr ct is concerned, every

''B its fact that you are receiving some
Of the strikers in this cityr"
Yes we have had several applications
from strikers who have abjured the union.
They come back AZ individuals. We would
not take the whole Brotherhood, because
we don't need them, and we want opera
tors who will work for us and
obey our orders and not be subject to some
other power.'
A resolution was passed by the members
Of the Cotton Exchange thanking Col.
Baker for the excellent service that had
been given. On Change there were no
Developments to be recorded.
The reporter dropped into 4 group of

are bound to support any Of the subordinate
branches in strike.''

"Well, the law makes ten cents week
obligatory on every member, but they can
give as much as they please. There are

est rate, the sum per week would be $500,
600. Besides, we get help from the smaleS
organizations, such as. for instance, the
type.setters, who voted us $500 and offered
more II necessary. We need very little help
nyet."
"Col. Baker must take US for a lot Of
chumps," said the operator, Iii he thinks
oil OF his talk about good service goes down
with us. Why, we have sent lots OF tele-
grams and we know exactly what DELAYS
they are subject to. Here Is Telegram
from Superintendent Zemblin, OF Washing

need apply as he had no vacancies. Both
my wife and have worked for him aud he
knows us well, and he sent this telegram to
my wife urging her to use her influence
with me and for both Of us to apply to Mr..
Brown for transportation to Washington.

That shows how his vacancies stand.n
Among other instances of delayed tele-
grams was one sent by the president OF the
Culver Commission company Monday from
Chicago stating that he would come down
this morning. He came this morning and
received his own telegram. A prominent
brewer received telegram ordering sever
al hundred carpets. The operators gather
up these little incidents as indications of the
Western Unions condition.
