CLASH ON NEGRO LADS
TELEdRAPHERs THREATEN TO
 STRIKE ON THEIR ACCOUNT.
Banishment Insisted on-Chief Whiteomb Finally Gives vaca- ton Order and Comnotion
 Subsidies.

Chicago Reoord-Herald.
 Five little colored boys. who looked
 perfectly harmless, almost precipitated
 strike in the operating rooms of the
 Western Union Telegraph Company ct
 Clark Street and Jackson Boulevard. With the permission of the company of
 ficials the lads, who are employed as mes sengers, entered the operating room of
 the city line department on the tenth floor, bent upon practicing telegraphy. This Is a privilege granted to white boys and check boys of ether departments who design to become practical operators. The colored boys took seats at unocupied keys and began picking out the alphabet of dots and dashes. oblivious for a time of the storm brewing around them. If thunderbolt had struck the department 1t would have caused little more commo- ton than the sudden appearance of these ebony little apprentices at the keys. White Men Quit Work. White men cut short their work and rising in their seats scowled and shook their fists at the preoccupied youths. Half hundred young women operators lifted their eyebrows in polite amaze ment, and several started for the cloak
 room to go home. For twenty minutes the storm gathered force. Then crowd of indignant operators left their instru- ments as by common impulse and con- fronted Chief Operator l.. K. Whitcomb. What does the company mean by all lowing negroes to operate keys along
 side of white folks?" they demanded. They are just kids" Mir. Whitcomb Is said to have replied. ."rhey are simply practicing. as it Is customary for mes senger boys to do. They won't be here long. Go hack to work"
 But the operators did not go back to work. They had mapped out their line of campaign. and had burned their bridges. Put those negroes out of here in five minutes. or every operator in the depart-
 ment will leave his key and walk out" l they said.
 Boys Told to Go.
 Realizing the seriousness of the situ- ation, Mir. Whitcomb went to the colored boys and. informing them quietly that the white operators objected to their presence told them to leave. The boys, who had been absorbed in their work, did not appreciate until then the excite ment they had caused. They became frightened as soon as they knew the facts
 and hurried to the elevator and got to
 the street as quickly as possible. "There was no danger of a strike" said Mir. Whitcomb yesterday, referring to the incident of the day before as of slight importance. T saw that the white oper- ators did not relish having the colored lads practicing at adjoining desks, and told the boys it-would be best for them to leave. They left, and that was all
 there was to it."
 A dozen or more colored boys are em- ployed in the messenger service of the company.

Pettus Artillery Returned.

The Frank Pettus Field Artillery, Capt: I. N. Eddy, commanding, returned to Selma this morning from the encamp- ment near Mobile, where the company has been nearly a week.
 There is little to tell about the expe- riences of the battery while in camp. It's members report that it was-the most successful camp yet held and one of the most pleasant It was in every respect the most orderly and most military en- campment the artillery has yet had and the members of Battery c are highly pleased with their outing.
 The members of the battery had no op- portunity to display their skill because opportunities were lacking, but from what they did one can get a pretty good idea of the wonders they would have accomplished If they had been given a show.
 The only disappointment the boys met with was the inability of Lieutenant Phillips and Sergeant Kincey to attend the encampment.
