Bowker Says-Stations Not Affected.
r. II Bowker. First Vice. President Of the
Edison Electric Illuminating Company. made
this statement yesterday in reference to the
strike OF the wire workers employed by the
company:
1.-THE company states that It has been az
fected by this strike solely In the wiring de-
partment, and there has been no foundation
whatever for the reports given out by the
walking delegate that any man employed in
station work has left the service OF the COM
pany. The operations Of the company have
not been changed In the slightest in any OF its
stations. Not light on its system has gone
out nor Is there any prospect that single
light will go out The stories that any men
have struck. or that any extra inducements
have been offered them to keep to their work.
or that any superintendent or other employee
take up station work. are absolutely baseless.
r." In the wiring department the company is
three buildings where other. mechanics have
been ordered of by tho Board OF Walking Dele:
gates and where CONTRACTORS have felt coerced
tinuine its work ut Iii time. In each case the
company has made 9 formal Offer. to provide a
time. and has thus safeguarded its legal
rights. Az it has bcen stated that all the union
actly ffty-one mon in all have left its employ
in connection with the strike. which is but o
small proportion Of its working force in the
only department concerned.
1.-The chief practical result OF the strike has
been that the walking delegats has refused
in the employ Of the com pany. which Is the
largest employer in this field OF labor in this
city. The company has not refused to take
back any OF the strikers
The statement that the company is retir-
