PHONE WIRES CROWDED.
LongDistance Service in Great De-
mand Here

One result of the telegraphers' strike has
been to throw great mass of business
upon the telephone companies. and the long
distance lines in all directions are in almost
constant demand. In Washington the opera
tors walkout was not yet twelve hours old
when the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company. accepting service for the
toll circuits of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company. would take calls for
Chicago. Pittsburg and other points south
and west only subject to delays. Between
this city and Richmond, Philadelphia, New
York and other points along the Atlantic
seaboard all calls were handled with COM
parativeiy little loss of time.

POTOMAC Telephone Company this morning

out. OF course, there is telling to what
extent the present trouble will spread and
the further II spreads and the longer II
lasts the greater will be the calls upon our
service. 1t is likely that we could use twice
or three times as many toll lines than the
number which we have in service but they
would be of use not again for a decade
after the telegraphers' strike is over Our
facilities are taxed by the present rush. but
we hope to handle all business which Ia
brought to us with only a minimum of de-
law"

WATCHING RAILROAD WIRES.
May Be Used to Help Break the
Strike

CHICAGO, August 1.-two great sys-
TENS of railroads are threatened with a
strike because of the use of the railroad
wires in commercial transmission Of mes
sages. Secretary Russell of the telegra-
piers union was notified that the Chicago
and Northwestern railroad was sending
commercial messages from the Milwaukee
Office Of the road. E. ]. Cassidy an Off
clai Of the telegraphers' union notified
President Perham Of the Order of Rail-
way photographers that the operators in
the employ Of the system would take a
vote on joining the commercial men.
The Chicago. Burlington and Quincy
railroad, through it's superintendent Of
telegraphers. issued an order that COM
mercal business be accepted for transmits
sion over the wires controlled by the COM
pany. Thus the effects of the strike are
reaching into the district in which 10000
union operators hold contracts with the
railroad companies of the nation.
Prompt refusal on the part of the COM
panies to give up this business is expected
but they will have till tomorrow to make
formal replies. By that time the result
of the referendum vote will be known and
If the men so vote an order for a general
strike may be flashed from one end of the
United States to the other

for $50 as minimum wage we are in many
cases not demanding any increase. A num-
Der OF houses pay their operators So when
they first engage them and raise them as
they become more proficient in their par
ticular line of work. But we would like
to have $50 laid down as the regular mini
mum figure.
Some of the commission houses signed
an agreement some time ago for so a
minimum for term of years. l do not

contract for a $50 minimum with its EN-
ployes in Chicago today.
AS the stock exchange sends and re-
ceives its quotations from other exchanges
over leased wires, it will not be hampered
unless there is strike in this
particular chapel The brokers, as a whole.
however. will suffer. inasmuch as a large
number of their customers are now out of
town at summer resorts and in the critical
condition of the market they wish to be
kept In close touch with the market.
The cotton exchange is Inconvenience by
the difficulty of getting quotations from
the south. They can only be received by
roundabout routes. and there is, of course
a good deal of delay.
The position of the produce exchange
seems worse. According to an official of
the exchange yesterday afternoon there was
only one wire working through to Chicago.
and 1t only supplied the quotations of the
market there But there was means by
which the representatives of European
houses here could place their orders by
wire.
good many of the brokers resorted to
the longdistance telephone. but this was an
expensive and tedious operation which did
not make up for the loss of the telegraph
At the same time the opinion was ex-
pressed that If the service is not improved
quickly. and the cables are not interfered
with. the produce exchange will manage to
accommodate itself to conditions somehow

CUTS THE NEWS SERVICE.
Many Associated Press Operators Are
on Strike.

NEW YORK. August 13-With a few ex-
ceptions. and these for the most part chiefs.
the operators of the Associated Press went
on strike last night when their demands
for more money were refused by President
Melville e. Stone, general manager
The demands were: For day work six
days week of eight hours each at $40 a
week. overtime to be paid for at the rate
or 10 cents per hour; and night work the
same number of nights and hours at the
rate of 1876 week, with overtime at the
rate of IS cents an hour; vacations to re-
main as at present.
A reply was requested at 7:3O O'Clock
last night. 1t was refusal. and the men
walked out, Gripping the association in the
United States. Mexico and Canada.
The reply of Mr.. Stone that resulted In
strike was very courteous one. He said
the time was too short for him to consult
the fifteen directors of the Associated Press,
who were scattered all over the country
and he had no authority to grant the de-
mands.
glad to meet committee of the men and
confer with it. He told them the As
ISOLATED Press was a mutual organization
making no profits and any added expense
fell upon all the papers in 1t.
In conclusion he added that he felt the
time was too short. even though he had the
right to act. to make a decision on a Ques-
ton of such magnitude.
The Associated Press service, which had
been In good working order, went out of
business. all save wire chiefs leaving their
positions. Eight hundred men are said to
have quit their keys.
This strike of the Associated Press will
cut off the service of hundreds of news
papers in the United States and Canada
What many of them will do is question.
The officers of the union said last night
Mr. Stone had knowledge that their de-
mands were to be submitted and he might
have used the wires while he had them TO
confer with others.

east. said today that the companies were
so badly crippled that they were unable
to handle the business Thomas told the
strikers that the companies could not
fill their places and that within few
days they would be glad to meet their
demands. The striking telegraph oper-
ators privately admit that the funds in
the union treasury are not Sufi!c'ent TO
finance prOtraCted strike. but they are
depending on aid from the allied labor
unions.
The Associated Press started Its
through west wire to Chicago and inter-
mediate points at the regular nour this
morning. and was moving a partial re-
port
The Associated Press east circuit from
New York to Boston and New England
points also opened on time.
There were some affecting scenes In all
the excitement attending the gathering
of the striking operators at their local
union headquarters today. GraS-haired
veterans of the key who had been with
the companies for years were broken
hearted at the turn of events. through
which they had forfeited their rights to
pension. while others felt that their
advanced years made 1t difficult Cor them
to find other employment
The strike situation in the Associated
Press showed an improvement today over
that of last night. and the reports from
various points showed that the news
events of the world We're being collected
and distributed to the newspapers of the
country with fair degree of fullness
and promptness.
