service, covering every nook and cor
ner of the nation. is out of commits
sion. all because a few operators IN
Los Angeles didn't like the way tho
very shabby way, the Western Union
Telegraph company had been treating
them. and all because the Western
Union officials and the officers Of tho
telegraphers' union didn't have judg-
ment enough, or patience enough OF
brains enough to get together.
No strike has worked to inconven-
fence and annoy so many people as
this strike of the telegraph operators.
How long II will continue no one
knows. II may be off tonight and 1t
may last a week. If il does, wall
street will go out of business and the
business of the whole nation Will have
been badly scrambled.
It's Sad. But Very True.
IL is interesting to step out and
consider for just a little while what
this strike means. and how wide and
far-reaching are its effects. II does
not affect one city. nor one district,
like street car strike or a coal min
ers' strike. 1t affects all the cities, and
not only their local business but their
business from city to city and state 10

OF NATION PARALYZED

The whole news gathering system Of
the nation is at a standstill. aside from
the local news service of the newspa-
pers and such sparse news as can be
rushed in over the long distance tele-
phone or by mail.
The big newspapers in New York
tonight are as helpless to get news
from San Francisco or Mobile or Mex
leo City as they were in the days Of
the pony express If this should con-
tinue for a month we would return 20
the days of the Boston news letter and
the Providence news sheet.

of newspaper readers in America, the
people whose hunger for news has
made the great newspaper system Of

days Of the Revolution when newsp5-
pers came out irregularly at intervals
