ST. LOUIS, August 13.--It is asserted
by the brotherhood that the Western Union
has a number Of men supplied with money
who are seeking to tamper with linemen Of
the order gan expenditure Of $40 upon
one Iincman with no conversion is said to be
the usual result. Wesern Union and
Gould stock generally fell of several points
Saturday. 1.-The former fell five points, "
said one of the Brotherhood. The reports
Of the lme-cutting in the East are not be-
lieved by the strikars, nor the story that a
W. L. linemsn in Scranton was shot at
while making repairs to apole.
From Bddeford, Maine. Hon. j. II.
Mclean teIegraphed this morning 10 his
business house, ordering the payment Of
500 to the Brotherhood OF this city, and
assuring them of his hearty sympathy in
their conflict With monopoly. This an
nouncement was received al the Lighlstone
Hall meeting with enthusiastic demonstra-
lions,
Manager Brown, Of the Western Union,
when asked for news gave the old answer
that the Office was in fine condition. The
strike Of railroad operators is said to have
been heavier than was at first supposed.
especially in Texas. Only few of the Of
fees in that state are without operators.

THE LABOR COMMITTEES
Considering the Question Of Law Com
pensation and the Present Strike.

NEW YORK, August S,-The SUBJ
mittee OF the United States Senate com
mittee on Labor and Education began its
sessions to-day in the postotice building.
The members present were Senator Blair OF
New Hampshire, chairman; George of
Mississippi, Pugh Of Alabama, Call OF
Florida, and Aldrich Of Rhode Island. The
special subject OF the investigation in the
strikes and labor movements is the general
object OF being to obtain information which
may be used in securing future legislation
to prevent them. The first witness was
Master Workman John Campbell, Of
Pttsburg. He testified that he had been
telegraph operator over twenty years, and
had been connected with the Knights Of
Labor and the Brotherhood Of Teegraphers
two years. There were between $1,000 to
~, 600 telegraphers In the United States and
Canada members OF the Brotherhood, and
the whole membership was about
%, 900, The cause Of the strike wa.
4 refusal to grant the demand on the
part Of the operators for increased
compensation, decrease II hours and extra
compensation for Sunday. Since 1870 the
salaries Of telegraph operators have been
SYSTEMATICALLY CUT DOWN,
and the object OF the strike was to bring
the rate Of compensation back to the former
standard. The operators were now paid
fixed salary per month, the average rate
throughout the country being about sj4
Tor commercial operators and $50 per
month for railroad operators. The average
rate for railroad operators in Pennsylvania
by actual census was S3S So per month
The rate OF wages for first class commercial
operators now range from $50 to $50 per
month. The salaries IN New York City
were higher than those IN the smaller cities
with the exception Of New Orleans,
Memphis and Nashville, where the scale OF
wages was about equal to that in this city.
The lowest rates for commercial operators
werelfrom S35'to $40 per monthlfor operators
at small way stations. Before the reduc.
Ton III wages the rates were from % to 40
per cent. higher than at present. In lSIOa
hrst-clasS operator could make from 500 to
$40 month. These rates extended back
10 the time OF beginning OF the war, when
'ue o'"e was aoout Us Nv present LOT IhlI-
road operators, and that for commercial
men little higher.
Campbell recited the history Of the strike
since II begun. There was a convention OF
the Brotherhood, he said, held In Chicago
last March, at which bill Of grievances
was drawn up. This was presented to the
different local assemblies OF the Brother
hood throughout the United States and
Canada, who unanimously ratified the nc.
ton Of the convention. Returns to the
executive board were made about two
months ago, and committee was instruct
ed TO present the demands OF the operators
to the different companies; and they were
also empowered to arhltrate upon oil pro-
positions Nat might b made BY ~ com.

NEW YORK, August l3.-Much surprise
and some CONSERVATION exists among the
bulls OF the stock market concerning the
steady decline Of the market, which has
been going on for the past week. About
wo weeks ago stock fell with a thump, but
before the day passed the market had re-
covered itself and all the fear was dis
PEELED. The average fear Of depression at
that time on all holders OF stock was nearly
W per cent. Well-known brokers and
bankers ayerred that there was really no
cause for fluctuations, as affairs through
out the country were steady and money
plentiful. This second furry as before,
seemed as incIplicahe. on the first tele-
,ram being received from Europe, asking
