 The telegraphers' strike, according to the men most deeply interested, is approaching climax and the talk tonight centers about the two Sal16n6 DGOD8Oll1C16B O1 tO-HOEIOH, the positive action of the executive commit tee of the brotherhood toward the railroads and the resignation of General Eckert, of which there is much fresh talk. Master Workman Campbell says: ''The cloud l predicted in the West is very likely to be- come a cyclone and that in very few hours" Yesterday the executive off cers of the brotherhood were very reticent and said that they were so from necessity. This evening they announced that on Saturday bills of grievance were pre- scented to the Delaware Lackawanna and Western road. the Lehigh Valley, Toledo, Wabash and Western, Chicago and Alton, Ohio and Mississippi, and Louisville and Nashville roads by their operators, with the answer was made to them by noon tomorrow they would to a man go out and close their keys. The same notice will be sent tomorrow to the Baltimore and Ohio company, their short notice being Intentionally limited to twenty-four hours as against forty eight hours which were given to the other companies the men to go out on Tuesday at noon. This is Mr. Campbelps statement He says also that the train hands will go out on many roads, especially the members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, of Firemen and of Conductors. To what extent this movement may reach Is not now known and may depend to some extent on the general action of the Knights Of Labor The road, according to the tele- graphers, most complained against IS the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, Whlch is charged VI ith paying the lowest rates paid by any of the eastern trunk lines. Of the Gould lines it is said the men do not average over $40 month, that most of the men at the local stations are transients placed at isolated points.
 They have no personal interest in the busi- ness and will be glad to leave when directed to do so They all belong to the brother hood. On the Chicago and Alton the addi- tional demand is made that the company shall receive back the thirty five operators discharged on Friday for refusing to send commercial messages The two points in sisted on by the committee in the new order are that the union shall be recognized and that commercial business shall be uniformly refused pending the strike.
