LEHIGH VALLEY RAILROAD STRIKE.

HAzLEToN, PA, December 4.-The
strike situation has assumed a new
phase tonight, which was not anticl-
pated by the Lehigh Valley officials,
and as result the latter are greatly
embarrassed.
This was a movement on the part OF
the telegraph operators which closed up
the most important offices between De-
lane and Hazleton. The situation is
now in the strikers favor. Most Of the
men who quit tonight are non-union
men and the strikers are confident that
they will be able to induce new men
not TO go to work.
