forcements at the Western Union Of
fiee-Business Going on Without
Delay.
The telegraphers' strike still drags
along. and there are no indications that 1t
is approaching an end. The strikers are
resoIute and determined TO hold out, and
the company is equally firm in its refusal
To recognize the Brotherhood or aceede
in any way 10 their demands. The situa-
ton i'm Savannah continues the same as
II was the dav after the strike was lnau-
gurated.
Two additional operators left New York
yesterday and will reach Savannah to-
night. when the present number will be re-
iaforced sufficiently to perform the entire
work Of the Office without delay.

three months if necessary There is no
fail in the Western Union office.
DO YOU expect 10 run the office with
the present force" queried the reporter.
.'Oh. no; with the two operators COM
ing from New York tomorrow and others
that are expected in few days the once
will be manned with full force inside OF
a week"
is the business Of the company on the
increase and recovering from the setback
il received last week.
In a great measure il is. OF course
there are DELAYS in certain places, but the
general business over the country Is car
ried on the same as it was before the

Of six. In Atlanta out Of eleven opera
tors anx-au are uOW work In other
places everything i running smoothly"
