the afternoon the striking mem
bers of the brotherhood held
meeting at their hall
but transacted little business, and the
time was consumed in getting reports
from the outside districts The strikers
claim to be confident that the company
will have to accede to their demands, and
contend that, while the company is max
ing show of having force on hand, it
is made up largely of unskilled men who
cannot care for the business properly. The
railroad offices are closed, and persons
making inquiries are directed to the prin-
disturbances of any nature growing out of
the strike were reported during the day.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
NEW YORK, July 19.--GENERAL OFFICE OF
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, To Editors: The
Associated Press is likely to be we'll pro-
vided for during the strike. The Western
Union officials express an intention of
serving the papers we'll and satisfactorily,
and claim to have sufficient facilities for
doing the press business. The operators,
who have always received the best of treat
ment when employed by the press,
are also disposed to aid sin
the transmission of press news.
For few days there may be some neces-
sary delay and it may for while be wise
to curtail the volume OF the news in some
degree, but there will be no perceptible
change in our business. The news coming
from Washington, Baltimore and Phila-
delphia and sections tributary to those
cities will be as full as ever and there will
be no diminution in the amount of cable
but rather the reverse.
Signed, VIM. HENRY SMITH,
General Manager.
