The country is In the throes OF,
and at the mercy Of great strike.
The Commercial telegraphers OF the
United States and Canada have been
called out on a general strike,
and the number going out amounts 10
about $4,000 operators. Trouble
has been brewing for some time,
and the climax came this week
All the principal cities Of the country
are suffering from the strike, as
commercial business is at a stand
still. The Railroad Telegraphers
are in sympathy with the strikers
and are backing them financially.
Il is the concensus Of opinion that
the telegrapheTs have the sympathy
Of the people, and il is probable
that they will win the strike. All
messages are being received by both
the telegraph companies subject to
indefinite delay.
