ASSOCIATED PRESS OPERATORS
STRIKE; SERVICE CRIPPLED
Bv Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Aug Photograph op-
orators employed by the Associated Press
throughout the country struck this even
ing because General Manager Melville e.
Stone was unable to comply Immediately
with their demands for a radical increase
in wages.
Mr.. Stone sent message to the oper-
ators stating that compliance would mean
an Increase of over 100000 annually in
the expense of the Associated Press He
said 1t was a mutual organization con-
Quoted without profit, and that there was
no reserve fund to meet such an extraor-
binary expenditure. The only way that
an increase, such as was demanded,
could be granted was by the assent Of
the members. It was manifestly impos-
sible to do this within the twenty-four
hours allowed by the teegraphers union
A meeting of the board of directors
would have to be called, and as the
board is composed of fifteen men living
in all parts of the country, it was i'm
possible to get them together in time to
take the action demanded. Mr. Stone Of
fered to meet a committee of the en-
ployes and make such recommendations
as might be agreed upon.
This was not satisfactory to the oper-
ators and then Mr.. Stone agreed to call
q telegraphic meeting of the directors
and asked the operators to wait until
1880 Tuesday evening. The request was
refused, and the operators, by a small
majority, decided to strike Immediately.
At $50 this evening tie men left their
keys and the entire system is at a stand
still.
The operators made the following de-
mands:
Day work, six days, eight hours daily,
$50 per week and overtime and extra at
the rate of so cents per hour.
Night work, six nights, eight hours, $50
per week and overtime and extra at the
rate of 20 cents per hour.
The vacations to remain as at present
Apporttonate increase for chiefs and
sub-chief operators.

Officials believe that a widespread
walkout of telegraphers might result in
disasters at sea, especially as the hurri-
cane season on the Atlantic is approach
ing. Mariners depend upon information
furnished by the government as to the
state of weather.
This particular service depends upon adj
vices from the interior and any prolonged
interruption or suspension of Geographic
advices from the various stations of the
weather bureau might be serious in its
consequences to shipping and life at sea.
Already the weather bureau has felt
the force Of the strike, giving indication
of the situation that would confront the
bureau in the event of an order direct
ing a, strike of all members of the Com
mercial Telegraphers' union.
Most of the operators employed by gov
eminent departments at Washington are
union men, and while they have no griev-
ances, it is understood that If strike
order is issued it will be obeyed by gov
eminent operators.

MERCHANTS EXCHANGE IN
ST. LOUIS OUT OF BUSINESS
Rv Associated Press.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 12.-Business was
practically suspended in the St. Louis
Merchants exchange today because of the
telegraph operators strike When the
markets opened this morning there was
not an operator present. After much de-
lay a few non-union men were found to
receive the market quotations from Chi
cago and the stock market quotations
from New York. Ordinarily about thirty
operators are employed to man the wires
of the exchange. Little trading was done.
Superintendent Nudge of the Postal
company said he had more operators than
he could use under present conditions,
but would retain them all. Manager
BOIL of the Western Union said the West
ern Union was moving along in salts

GALVESTON STRIKERS MAY
INVOKE CONTRACT LABOR LAW


By Associated Press.
GALVESTON, Tex, Aug. 12.-The Gal
weston unioIf of the Commercial Teleg-
raphers will appeal to the president of
the United States, invoking the contract
labor law against men being engaged in
cable service at Galveston. There are
eighteen men working for the Mexican
Cable company at Galveston, and when
the strike occurred the Mexican company
leased two trunk lines to New York from
Galveston and two of the eighteen men
were put on these wires
The Galveston union believes this is
violation of the contract labor law, as it
lis a contract made by a foreign conces-
sion with two men in the United States
who are not naturalized citizens, but who
are doing work in the United States.

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 12.-Operators

Union men went out first in response to
a whistle sounded by President Branin

The messenger boys of the city went
out at IL o'clock tonight.
The telegraph operators at Tacoma,
Spokane, Seattle, Lewiston and at other

Broker Operators Get Advance


Broker Operators Get Advance
Operators employed in broker offices
did not strike today, as had been pre-
dicted. Many brokers have informed the
officers of the union that they will pay
some of the leading houses declared they
would pay no more than in the past. The
officers of the union assert they will be
able to bring out all the broker oper-
ators, but the brokers say that many of
their men will refuse to strike.
Two broker operators struck at noon
today because they were requested to
handle Western Union market quotations
General Secretary Russell Of the teleg-
raphers' union sent out the following
bulletin at noon:
ITO all locals on strike:
stand firm and under no circumstances
return to work until officially sanctioned.
President Small and the executive board
will meet here Wednesday night. All
points are as solid as a rock Many
union contracts are being signed by brok-
ers and press associations. Chicago is
absolutely closed up. No strike breakers
have arrived, all reports to the contrary
notwithstanding. We have the battle
won.'
Two of the largest brokerage firms of
the city signed the operators schedule
today and also granted them the closed
shop. Later these two firms called
meeting of brokers to consider measures
for the prevention of the strike.
General Superintendent Capan of the
Postal company said late today:
1--WE are handling business without
much delay. We are willing to treat with
the strikers as individuals, but will not
receive any representatives Of the strik-
ers as body"
The Daily News today makes the an
nomcement that the issuing of meal tick
cts by the operators has commenced.
Supt. T. P. Cook of the Western Union
declared that he would modify the notice
to patrons posted on the doors of the Of
flee of the company which reads:
Messages accepted indefinite delay"
The new notices, he said, will read:
Messages accepted subject to slow

LOS ANGELES POSTAL
TELEGRAPHERS ON STRIKE

Eighteen telegraphers employed at the
main office of the Postal Telegraph COM
pany walked out at 9:45 yesterday morn
ing. This action followed the discharge of
P. A. Stevens, who refused to work in
an office where strike breakers were man
ming the wires.
The telegraphers employed by the Asso-
ciated Press went on a strike last night
when other press operators all over the
country left their wires.
Six branch offices of the Postal company
were closed when the main office en-
ployes went out, and these operators also
reported at strike headquarters.
Calling out the leased wire men will
virtually close up thousands of stock
brokers' offices all over the country
At the Postal office the cashier refused
to work q wire vacated by a striking
telegrapher and was instantly discharged.
All of the postal telegraphers left the
office quietly and went to strike head
quarters. There was no confusion and
Superintendent Lewis and two other Of
ficials Immediately sat down to work
wires.
Stevens, the man discharged, was an old
and trusted employee of the Postal COM
pany.
Since the men in the Postal office walked
out yesterday morning the wires have
been handled by five operators and Super
intendent c. L. Lewis.

Has Half a Force

I'VE have taken on two men and have
arranged for another former telegrapher
to help us out during the difficulty" de-
clared Mr.. Lewis yesterday afternoon.
These men, who have left the business
for other vocationS, came to us Volun-
tarily and offered their services to the
company.
by working the present force double
time we have almost so per cent of the
former staff. There were twenty-five,
and our double shift gives us working
force equal to twelve. To facilitate mat
tiers we have closed the outside stations,
and our aim is to handle to the best ad-
vantage whatever business comes into the
main office.
1.-THE first day of a strike is usually the
worst, and we expect that after the situa-
pick up. There has been a large falling
off in business
THE trouble started when one of our
men, Perry H. Stevens, refused to send a
message sent in from an outside office,
directed to Chicago. Neither he nor any.
one else, not even the president of the
company, has the right to refuse to take
telegram The illegality of his action
was explained to him, and he was asked
if he could reconsider his conduct if the
matter were overlooked. He declared,
however, that he would stand by what
he had done.
Stevens bears a good reputation. He
has been an esteemed employee, and for a
time was our manager at Santa Barbara
and assistant at San Diego. There was
no official warning of the mems action.
Now that they have taken their stand it
is highly probable that there will be a
general strike as any other course would
be equivalent to the showing of the white
feather by the union. The organization
seems anxious to test it's strength. We
are prepared for a contest.
This afternoon our work is as close up
