they intend to make things lively for the
company yet. This, however, is regarded
as mere talk and bravado.
MITCHELL, Of the brotherhood, says the
men will return to work just as fast as
the company will take them back. He
expr asses the belief that at the end of a
week or SO there would be but
few of the strikers, who would not have
been reinstated in the company's employ.
A few of the strikers who were rejected
this morning were loud in denunciation of
the policy of the brotherhood in holding
out so long, and by that means allowing
their places to be filled by other men.
CLEVELAND.
CLEVELAND, Aug. 18.-The strikers
secretly agreed this morning not to apply
for reinstatement in the Western Union
to-day, but wait j ohm CampbelTs signature
to the declaration that the strike is fail
ure. Nevertheless large proportion have
applied, and find that out of forty-five
places they left nearly three weeks ago ali
have been permanently filled except nine,
consequently thirty of the local strikers
must seek situations elsewhere.
PITTsBURG.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Aug. 18. - Manager
Lloyd, of the Western Union, was busy all
morning receiving applications from

five who quit work at the beginning of the
strike, all but fifteen were taken back upon
promising to renounce the brotherhood.

cases left vacancies in other offices of this

cept positions elsewhere than in Washing
ton if you can secure them."
CINCINNATI.
CINCINNATI, Aug. 18.-The striking op-
orators received no official news of the
abandonment of the strike yesterday, but
this morning they sent committee to Su-
perintendent Miller to ascertain on what

quired to subscribe to, objuring the broth

ALL OPPOSITION CEAsING.
CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-Despite the attitude
taken by the local assembly of telegraphers
last night, this morning witnessed what
appears to be decided break in the ranks.
Up to noon to exceed fifty had made per-
sonal application to Superintendent Tubbs
for reinstatement, and thirty-nine had
been given places. Superintendent Clowry
has reports from Indianapolis and Cincin-
natl to the effect that all opposition from
the workmen is ceasing there, and that a
full force will be on duty tonight.
WHAT THE GRAND SECRETARY OF THE BROTH
ERHooD SAYS.
PITTsBURG, Aug. 18.-In an interview
with the associated press representative
tonight, Thos. H. Hughes, grand secre-
tary of the Brotherhood of Telegraphers,
in speaking of the collapse of the strike,
said the condition of the strike in many
sections, especially in Quebec and the
south, was in a demoralized condition
At many points the members were in want
of the necessities of life. Rents were
due and they were threatened
will evictions, and money was coming in
slowly.
At Philadelphia and other Eastern
points they were short of funds. and it was
impossible to hold New York longer. The
charge made by some that John Campbell
sold the organization out is most unjust
and unwarranted one. The order may have
been little premature, but those in posi-
tion to know fully realized the fact that
hundreds were about toireturn to work, land
that the last of next week would terminate
the strike in all but half dozen places.
ALL WILL ASK TO BE REINsTATED.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 16.-Up to this
evening no applications have been made
for positions by the striking telegraph
operators to the telegraph company. One
of the strikers says: "We will apply in a
body on Monday asking the superintendent
to reinstate them all.''
