LEASED WIRE STRIKE OFF,
Action Rescinded Largely Because
Of Contract Conditions.

The vote to call strke Of the men in the leased
wire offices, To go into effect to-day which was
passed some days ago by Local 16 of the Com
mercial Telegraphers' Union. rescinded yester-
day at a meeting of the local in Clinton Hall. A
committee was then appointed to go through the
Wall Street district with the object of getting
agreements in leased wire offices where none exists
This action was taken partly account of the
declaration OF President Small that he would veto
the strike because it would involve the violation Of
contracts and partly because number of the teeg-
raphers were not enthusiastic about It for the same
reason. The motion TO rescind was made by Ma
ttonal Vice-President Percy Thomas, who up to
the time Small returned 10 this city acted deputy
president, representing Small. President Small was
not at the meeting, but received word OF the action
taken possible
Ths local strike leaders were anxious to go on
record as not having any differences with the ma
tonal officers President Joseph f Ahearn said
No matter what has appeared to the contrary.
