WIRE MEN WANT PEACE
secretly Elect Representatives. to Ar
range Settlement.

e.
e Chicago, Aug. 2s.- Confident that the
telegraph companies will recede from
the position they assumed at the pc
ginning Of the strike, the operators
are secretly electing representatives 70
arrange terms OF peace.
Details Of the peace plan are oelns
worked out in New York, where Pres
ident Small is now ostensibly on q
tour OF inspection" 1t was admitted
here yesterday that President Small
had a definite mission in view when he
/ left for the east, and the talk OF peace
became sl.ore pronounced.
The plan Of the strikers Is to elect 9
committee Of fifteen who We're former
employees Of each OF the telegraph
companies. These members will be
elected from districts. representing the
entire country, so that. any settlement
which might be reached would END he
whole dispute.
Some of the unions thruout the coun-
try yesterday chose electors, who I'm
turn will chose one representative from
each company in each telegraph dis
trict. This committee Of fifteen from
each company will be in readiness to
proceed to New York at any time the
telegraph companies may show will
tngn.ss to meet them to discuss terms
Of settlement.
Whether the strike leaders have re-
ceived any intimation that the COM
nies will meet representative com :
lttee Of theiT former employees they
refuse tosay. So far as can be learned
no such assurance has been given by
the telegraph officials, who maintain
that. there us nothing to arbitrate, and
that the only settlement Of the trou-
BILE which can be reached is when the
strikers voluntarily apply for their for
mer positions.
At a meeting Of the strikers at
Brands hall yesterday afternoon veiled
hints were thrown out, by the officers
that a settlement could be reached in
short time Ii the telegraph compan-
les will agree to meet a committee OF
their own employees. No formal recog-
milton of the union will be asked for
and the officers Of the organization
will not serve on any committee.
I'VE are now entering on the third
week OF the strike" said Secretary
Wesley Russell at the meeting. The
1
not permit this thing to go for more
than six weeks without raising a
strong protest. believe it can be set
tied in short time if the companies
will agree &c meet committee of their
own men. feel as confident of vic
tory now as / did the day the strike
was called.
e'The business men all over the coun-
try are with us. and there is not a
break in our ranks anywhere. We are
in hard fight. but instead Of being
beaten we have not really begun to
fight yet. The order Of Railroad Tel
ef-aphers has levied an assessment of
81 on each of its 10000 members, and
the first money from this assessment
will be available soon. All we have
to do is to stick together and we will
get q fair settlement
w. c. Long, editor OF the Teleg-
raphers' Journal, said the real fight
would begin this week.
