"a committee claiming to represent
the telegraph operators sought an in
terview with the executive officers at
Montral today for the purpose of dis
cussing some alleged grievances. They
and the telegraph operators whom they
claim to represent have declined to in
form the officers of the divisions on
which they are employed of these al
legged grievances. as they are required
to do by the regulations of the COM
pany This appears to be the sole and
only reason for the strike which has
been ordered. When the strike was or
dered at 9 o'clock one operator at the
Windsor street station in Montreal
walked out, and am informed that two
or three train dispatchers and a few

ny can be adjusted without strike.
