100 male operators have been taken back since

rejected with the answer that their places are
filed.
Nearly all the branch offices are open this
morning. Jay Gould has expressed great sat-
isfaction with Eckert's management during
the strike and the success resulting from it. IL
is expected that the company will be able to

pany to punish the strikers by refusing them
employment.

only seven country operators have been sent
back. The remainder will have permanent
positions until they prove themselves incapa-
BILE of doing the work.

FRANKLIN, Pa, Aug. 20.-A great oil fire

when the entire fire department of Oil City ar.

THE SENATE INQUIRY.
Could the Telegraph System be Kept
Aloof from Politics If Controlled by the
S.overurneufp


/. New YORK, Aug. 20-The Senate sub-com-
mittee on education and labor resumed its ses-
sion this morning, The first witness examin-
ed was Charlotte Smith of Washington, presi-
dent of the Woman's National Industrial
League, who promised to furnish the commit
tee with statistics in regard to the women
workers of the country.
A. H. Seymour, telegraph operator of 30
years experience, who testified last week was
recalled. He favored the establishment of
telegraph system under the control of the civil
service reform rules, Or else the adoption of a
law similar to the one adopted in Pennsylvania
in 1873, prohibiting lease or consolidation by
one telegraph company with any competing
line. The witness cited figures to show the
progress made in telegraphic business in Eng
land since it came under the control of the
government. He also claimed that all addi-
tioual facilities obtained from new inventions
there directly benefit the public, while in this
country they only benefit the companies. He
then gave list of a number of telegraph
companies absorbed by the Western Union
Company and claimed that the capital stock OF
that company is greatly inflated.

RUBBER
B ELTI N Ct .
Important to all who use Betting.
We have Just patented new article in Rubber
Betting which is sold under the name of
GIAMT DEL TING

0This Betting is made up with the usual plies of
Duck and Rubber, and, before putting on the out
side cover, it is stitched in seams inch apart
with cotton cord which has pulling strength of
fifty pounds. 1t s then stretched in its plastic
state, drawing the plies SO close together, that
with the strong cord with which it is stitched, mate
rial strength is added to the belt and the stitches
are SO drawn into the plastic rubber that they can
not wear off on the outside. The outside cover is
then put on seamless, that 1t cannot open as is
the case of Rubber Betting made in the ordinary
way, and the plies being so firmly stitched as wei
as fctoned together, that the belt cannot separate
as many belts made in the old way will after bein
used for time, especially when run at a greag
speed or in damp places.
We particularly call the attention of all Mill own
to this Belt being in the end the cheapest belt
they can buy while the first cost is only about ten
per cent more than betting made in the ordinary
way. We believe ~ill wear more than double the
length of time For neavy main belts you will find
1t superior to anything made. 1t is also superior for
Endless BELTS, as we stitch the splice in such
way that it cannot separ ate.
Try Our Giant Belt. We will Warrant
Satisfaction.
