LOCAL MEN DEFIANT
Operators Opposed to Vote
on Ending Strike.
DENOUNCES SMALL
Vice President of TeIegraphers'
Characterizes Superior 0flcer's
Suggestion as Suicidal and Claims
Men Are TN the Fight TO Stay-Sen-
timent of Washington Operators.

Whether the call sent out from New
York last night by President Samuel J..
Small, Of the TeIegraphers Union for a
vote by the locals throughout the eoun-
try on the question of giving up the
strike and returning to work will be
acted upon by the Washington local
could not be learned last night.
No meeting of the Washington local
IS scheduled for to-day, and 1t was said
at the headquarters of the operators at
the Regent Hotel that none had been
called.
W W. Beatue. national vice president
OF the union. denounced President smalPs
action as injudlclous and disastrous. He
sent the following message to Small:
Are YOU correctly quoted in press re-
ports to-nlght7 II so. personally eharac-
terize It as suicidal"
Asked for a statement. Mr.. Beattie
said.
Nothing could be more nl-timed or
unjustified than a call for a vote on end
ing the strike. We have only begun to
fight now. A proposition for a vote on
ending the strike is both unwarranted
and futile
DenOunces SmalI's Action.
II believe that l voice the sentiment
of every striking union operator in the
country when I say that if Mr.. Small
is correctly reported as having called a
vote. he has outraged the organization
and attempted to dlscredit us in the
moment Of victory. Furthermore, I be-
Heye that all operators VIII condemn his
conduct as I do. and that If a vote is
taken it viii only stlffen the hght and
only 80 further 20 insure victory"
81 cannot feel that Mr. Small has done
other than attempting to discredit the
organization az the very moment we are
facing victory. I have received no Off
cial notification from Mr. Small Of any
such action. and until do 50. I cannot
say what action will be- taken by the
Washington local. If 1t Is true. II is en-
tirely up to the men to decide what shall
be done. as ] do not believe in one-man
rule
Earlier in the evening. It is known. Mr..
Beattie attempted to communicate with
Strategist Daniel H. Russell al New
York. In this attempt he failed
Sentiment among the strikers last night
appeared 20 be against taking any vote
to return, and in favor Of staying ont
until the companies yield. al least. on
some Of the disputed points.
