MEETING CALLED FOR SUNDAY.
New York Operators Probably VIII
Decide to Go Out -

New York, Aug. 10.-A strike. of the
5000 telegraph operators in New York
in sympathy with the Chicago strike il
to be considered at a meeting being
called for tomorrow President Ahern
of the local union, said early today:
TT is likely that New York will be
involved in the strike. The union has
done all in it's power to prevent 4
strike, but the company has not acted
fairly. 1 think the strike will become
general throughout the country
Officials of the Western Union and
Postal Telegraph companies who yes
terday expressed the belief that the
strike in Chicago would prove to be
local in its nature, said today that the
situation was such that preparations
We're being made to handle the business
in case the men walked out. Minor Of
ficials and clerks of both companies,
who have not worked at the keys for
years, will be called upon to man the
wires, while nonunion men who remain
at work Will be given opportunities or
making double time.
When strike was threatened sew
eral weeks ago the Western Union pur-'
chased scores of cots to take care of
the strike breakers in the main office
of the company If necessary. The Off
Gals believe that they will effectually
break the strike, should 1t be called,
within short time. They say that the
union does not control over so per. cent
of the telegraphers here and that the
union treasury is empty. President
Ahern denied today that the local union
was without funds and said that the
teiegrapherS could finance long strike

P1CIzEI1NG AT KANSAS CITY.
Manager of Western Union Says the
Situation Is Improving.

Kansas City, Mo, Aug. 10.-There
was but little change here this morn
ing in the Western Union strike s1tua-
ton. George w. Brownson, local man
ager, stated that they had about thirty
operators at work at the main office,
an increase of fifteen over yesterday,
and that with this force they were
moving business in fair shape. On the
other hand. Cal z. Ryle, who has
charge of the strike for the operators,
declared that none of the strikers had
gone back to work and that the West
ern Unions force consisted OF wire
chiefs the four or five operators VINO
failed to go out yesterday, and few
girls who had been pressed into ser
vice. The branch offices were still
closed.
The strikers met at 1880 to con-
slider the situation and probably formu-
late a set of demands to be presented
to Manager Brownson. They agreed
10 let the board of trade operators go
to work the board. and not the West
ern Union. to pay their salaries. Pick
cts were ordered placed at all Western
Union offices.
George j. Frankel, district superin-
tendent of St Louis. arrived here today
and will aid his company In olsen-
tangling their difficulties. - 44
Manager Brownson said this morn
ing: about thirty men were at work
last night and this morning Our
business is well cleaned up and we
expect to be in better shape by Mon
