GONPERS HELPS
FIND A WAY TO
FINANCE STRIKE
Telegraphers' Union Of
fiCialS ana Head of
A. F. l. in Con-
terence.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1O.-Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American
Federation Of Labor. was still con-
ferring with leaders Of the striking
telegraphers here today, and ii was
said that developments could be eX-
pected soon.
AT telegraphers' headquarters II was
said that Gompers was merely investi-
eating TO determine what financial aid
should be given the strikers by the
American Federation. and discussing
with the leaders how the money could
be employed best.
There was some interest in the pros
pect Of President Small OF the Com
mercial TelegTaphers issuing a state
ment on the situation as there was a
belief that Gompers had a definite plan
Of settlement to offer when he came to
New York. This is Offset by the an
nouncement that Gompers came here
primarily 70 attend a meeting Of the
Cigarmakers' Union, and that his con-
ferences with the telegraphers were
incidental.
President Smalrs statement was some
what OF a disappointment TO those who
had hoped for a quick settlement he
said. in part:
Il met President GQmpers last even
ing He did not come here TO submit a
proposition having for its purpose the
settlement OF the strike. Nothing of a
tangible nature is IN sight along those
lines we did. however, discuss fully
ways and means 70 finance the strike
for a definite period. and / believe we
have solved the problem"
Edward j. Nally, vice president and
general manager of the Postal Tele-
graph Company, today gave cut n state
nent, IN part, as follows:
4 wish 10 say once for all that there
VIII be 40 arbitration, and this company
will not reCede from the position which
! IL first took in the matter. namely. C
give employment only 10 such indlvid
uals as are desirable.
| The directors Of the Western Unior
Telegraph Company were scheduled tC
meet today. IL was said at the genera
Offices that the strike would not be dis
! cussed az the meeting.
