No Telegraphers strike Here.

The strike of the employees of the Bank
ors and Merchants Telegraph Company
in New York and Boston was on account
of the non-payment of back salaries to
operators in those cities. The trouble
arose from the new management of the
comla any wishing to settle back pay with
80 per cent. discount, which caused the
operators to leave their keys. The matter
has now been adjusted by agreement to
pay the salaries In full. The men en-
ployed in this city have received their
pay in full up to March 1, and therefore
had no reason TO Join the strike.
