WESTERN UNION MEN WORK

The strike of the United Commercial Photographers has reached Montgom- cry.
 The strike just now is not what could be termed widespread. and only the Postal Telegraph Company is af- fected. At o'clock yesterday af- ternoon, the single operator at the Pos- taPs office on Commerce Street had oc- casion to send messages to Birming- ham and Augusta, Ga, both of which places are affected by the strike. John Phelts. the operator, immediately called Night Chief Operator C. A. Hendley, who was in charge of the office in the absence of Manager W. A. Sheppard. and informed him he would not work the wire. as the Augusta and Birming- ham offices were unfair" MT. Phelts left the key and quietly retired from the office.
 Affairs at the Postal were in a chaotic condition. Although there is normally but work for one operator at the office and his place was being filled by the night chief. the strike over the entire country had so affected the Montgomery office that but little business was transacted. A through wire to New York coul dalone by de- pended on.
 Night Chief Hendley said that al- though he could make no positive an- nouncement during the absence from the city of Manager Sheppard. still he believed that ample provision had been made for supplying any vacancies in Montgomery.
 Although all of the twelve operators employed on the night shift of the Western Union were at work last night, Manager Ciiff Fonville did not hesitate to say that he might be left without men at any moment. It is be- lieved that a strike at Atlanta or any Southern relay point on the Western Union service, through which the Mont gomery business Is sent, would mean g strike in the Montgomery office.
 Manager Fonville believes that in the event of a strike, he will be able te hold enough men to take care of the Montgomery end.
 The action of the Postal operator il without authority from national head, quarters of the union, but Is in accord. ance with the policy Of the various To- calls of the union for It's members tt refuse to send to or receive from an, ofice from which the union men have walked out
 Montgomery Local U. c. +, has been called to meet today and some action will be taken in the strike situation.

 Rate Law.

Minneapolis, Minn.. August 10.-Min- neapolis is to be the, center of a con flict between the state and federal courts over the question of railroad regulation.
 The program is to lay complaint be- fore the county attorneys in different counties for the state for violation of the commodity rate law against the highest railroad officials in the differ ent counties.
