Must Be No III Feeling.

Chicago, Nov. 7.-Altho the official
order calling off the strike may not be
issued for several days, members OF
the union are assured that they are
free to return to work today without
being stigmatized as deserters.
"The strike was over long ago, so
far as this company is concerned,
said T. p. Cook. Chicago manager OF
the Western Union. Our business has
been almost normal long time.
Strikers have been returning to work at
since Oct 25.
"We will not discriminate against
any Of the strikers, but no non-union
men will be discharged to make room
for those who are returning to work.
We can't place all the strikers at
once, but our force of operators will
be increased as business requires.
I'VE want them all back to work, il
possible. I want them to come back
here and feel at home. But there must
be no i'll feeling against any operator
who remained loyal to the company or
against any of those who were en-
ployed while the strike was on. There
must be absolute good feeling all
around"
The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany had 1875 branch offices in Chi
cago previous to the strike. Mr.. Cook
said it is probable that several of
those never again will be reopened as
the strike has given the company a
good lesson In economy.
capen Talks for Postal.
w. I. Capen, Postal superintendent,
said the former strikers will be taken
back on their merits and ability only.
1--WE are glad to take back a number
of operators" said Mr.. Capen. They
must return to work, however, as in
dividuals and they will be employed
on their ability as telegraph operators
If any man received high salary based
on length of service. he must return
on his merits only.
1--WE have room for a number of
good operators and we are glad to get
them, but we never havd been Grip
pied during the strike. There will be
no discrimination against union or
nonunion men. All will be treated on
the same basis-the basis of individual
merit.
1.-THE strike has given us an oppor-
tunity to see where there was waste
of effort in handling our business and
all of this will be eliminated by re-
ducing the number of operators wher-
ever that is found to be expedient. 1t
is probable number of branch Of
fees will remain. closed permanently"
The strike began on Aug. z in the
Western Union offices in Los Angeles,
Cal. At midnight of the following day
Chicago Joined by a walkout of the
Western Union night force. The day
operators and the Postal men follow
ed next day and in the following week
city after city thruout the United
States and Canada Joined the strike.
President Sylvester j. Small issued
general strike order on Aug. 16, and
the telegraph tieup thruout the coun-
try was almost complete. The fight
dragged on with no hope of settlement
for a month.

Roosevelt Points Out Where
Party Has Gained Compared
to Former Elections
KENTUCKY VICTORY SIGNIFICANT
Goes Republican for First Time Since
Mckinley's First EIeotion-similar
Situation Regarding New Jersey -
Victory in Massachusetts, and Other
States Cause for Confidence.

washington, Nov president
Roosevelt today issued the following
statement regarding the elections held
Tuesday: 1.-THE president regards the
results of the elections as extremely
gratifying. He has sent letter OF
hearty congratulations to Mr.. Heney
on the result in San Francisco. The
victory in New Jersey was precisely
what happened nine years ago, in the
middle OF President McKinley's admin
istration. Compared with the cleo
tions next preceding the last presidcn-
.tial election, we have done decidedly
better than we did in 1908. Then Ken
lucky, Rhode Island and Maryland
went against us; but this year we
have won a, sweeping victory In Ken
lucky for the first time since Nc
kinley's first election, and the victory
The showing in Pennsylvania and Ne
braska was equally as good. The
showing in New York state as whole
was excellent, far better than was the
case prior to the last presidential cleo
ton That the result in Manhattan
was due to purely local causes is shown
by comparing 1t with decisive triumphS
in Brooklyn, Buffalo. Albany and in the
state generally. AS a whole, the show
ing has been an improvement over
what 1t was four years and eight years
ago"
The republican victory in old Bour-
bon Kentucky is regarded as great
triumph and of much Significance. In
Maryland, altho the democrats carried
the state, there was q republican gain
OF $4,000, which may help the party in
next years battle. The overwhelming
victory won by Governor Guild In Mas
sachusetts indicates, from the Roose-
Welt and administration viewpoint, the
impossibility of bringing together the
clashing elements within the demo-
cratic party In states where the fac
tional division has been pronounced.
There is keen disappointmen In ad-
ministration circles over the defeat OF
Representative Burton by johnson in
the Cleveland mayoralty con-
test and there is feeling
that the republicans got what
they deserved in New York City and
county. In fact it may be said that re-
gret over Burton's defeat in Cleveland
is balanced by the satisfaction over
the job the tiger performed in swal-
lowing the Parsons Hearst fusion ag-
sgregation. Neither President Roose-
Welt nor any member of the cabinet is
making any statement for publication
regarding the result in New York
county. But there is no secrecy as to
how they feel and have felt ever since
the strange alliance between the re-
publican organization and the Hearst
League was effected.
Almost the first thing the president
did after emerging from the cane
brakes last month was to let it be
known that he had not been consulted
in any manner or degree on the fusion
movement. It has been pointed out
that Governor Hughes was consulted
and declined to interfere in local pol
itics."

Pittsburg, Nov. Predictions are
being made here that the delay Of the

dition, and strengthen every other
