Atlanta, May S.-President w. " Pow
ell, of the Order of Railway Telegraphcrs
issued an order effective at IL a. M
today disseminating the strike of the
Southern Railway telegraphers, declared
April 18th, 1900.
In his statement President Powell an
nounces the decision Of the officers of
the order regarding the strike. He states
that the telegraphers can now apply to
the Southern for employment without
being considered by the Order as "scabs,"
but advises them not to do so. He says
1T is to be regretted that some of
the purposes for which the strike was
inaugurated are not entirely successful.
Had all the membership of the organi-
zation and those who agreed to support
it in this struggle remained loyal to their
cause it would have been possible to
give to you the notice of complete vic
tory"
President Powell asserts that while the
strike controversy is ended the boycott
feature on the Southern will be continued
by the order and concludes his statement
as follows:
The fight against the Southern Rail-
way will never be stopped by the organi-
zaton until such time as it comedies the
things demanded by its telegraphers, tho
refusal of which led to the inauguration
of a strike on the Southern's lines at IL
a. m, April 18th, 1900"
1t is stated from the strikers headquar-
ters that many of the telegTaphers for
merIy employed by the Southern are seek
ing positions on Western roads and some
are entering other employment.

nal of Labor" through the columns OF
which the fight has been vigorously wag-
