The Strike Troubles.
rELEGRAPHERS.


abandonment of the strike yesterday, but
this morning they sent committee to Su,
nerintendent Miller to ascertain on what
terms thew can return. He showed them
the form of contract they would berequired
TO subscribe to and they went away TO re-
mort. One striker has signed and gone TO
wsrk. Superintendent Miller will act on
individual applications and vacancies &C.
.cordingly.
The striking operators held meeting to-
day and agreed to send in written appf-
cation for reinstatement. This was done,
and then the operators made personal ap-
.Dlicstion aiterward. Nearly all the lady
operators who struck will lose their situa-
tions, as their places have been filled.
New York, Ang; 1S-The main office OF
the Western Union was besieged from
early morning by nearly 100 operators
seeking reinstatement, but few women and
girls were among the number. Only the
hest workmen are being taken back, and
quite q number of operators are disappoint-
ed by being rejected. Those operators who
had been taken after the strike began will
be retained by the company IN present pc,
sitions Since the strike was declared
ended Yesterday, only twelve women have
been received back in the employ OF the
company. The total number OF women
whohaye applied for reinstatement il
over forty-hve, so that number
ARE left without work. Superintendent
Rhinestone said iorty.tive meu were taken
back Yesterday afternoon and evening.
About thirty more tirst-class men were re-
instated this morning. He said all branch
Offices would be opened for business Mon
,day morning, and everything will be in
perfect working order by that time. He
could not promise that the company would
find positions for all the operators. and he
thought q large plumber would be COM
pelled to seek work elsewhere, as the COM
pany could not in justice to itself discharge
the operators who stood by 1t in its diff
Guilty. II will take about two weeks before
positions can be found for those OF the
strikers whom the com pany intends to re.
instate. He said none OF the linemen mad
vet applied for their old positions, and ii
they did, it was likely their applications
would be rejected, as men who have been
taken on during the strike nave become
proficient in their duty, and Will not now
be discharged to make way for the strikers
There are still a number OF operators and
nearly all OF the linemen who say the strike
is not vet ended, and they intend to make
things lively for the company yet, This,
however, is regarded as mere talk and
brayado. Mitchell, of the brotherhood,
saws the men will return to work just as
fast as the company will take
them back. He expressed the belle
J that at the end OF a we, week or or
who would not be reiDstated in the compa-
ny's employ. A few of the strikers who
were rejected this morning were loud In
depunciation of the action OF the brother-
hood in holding out so long, aud by that
NEAR allowing their places TO be hlled by
other men.
