YIELDING TO THE DEMANDS.

Walter p. dIlips, manager of the United
Press Association. at No. 167 broadway,
was the first to accede to the
demands of the strikers THIS he did in adj
vance as soon rs the demands of the Executive Com
mrttee were officially brought TO his attention, and
in consequence OF this action the press business so
far as this city and other points directly controlled
by the association concerned, is not affected by
the strike. MIR. Phillips said to a TRIBUNE re-
porter:
1--WE have a complete system OF wires covering
the territory where the 125 papers on our list are
served We have direct wires leased for our exclu-
sivs use from Boston to New-York. Buffalo to New
York. and from Louisville to New-York via Gin
cinnati, Chicago, st. LOUIS. COumbus Wheel,
Jug PIttsburg WASHINGTON, Baltimore and
Philadelphia. One wire to Louisville rs leased
from the Baltimore and OHIO, and the other
two from the Rapid, and all oper-
ated by our own employees. thrty-seven IT
all Our men have heretofore been PAID standard
salaries, or a little ab've, and were all
selected with a view to obtaining the
highest caas of operators. / thought 1t
unwi.e to raise any question as to salary and
acceded to the demands of the Brotherhood grace
fully and without delay, realizing that telegraph
operafors were fairly EMIT ed to better pay
than they have been receiving. The result u.s. nv
men are all at work The only trouble we
shall have will be with points where we
do not have our own operators but we shall send
out our usual quantity of press matter Tonight
