CALIFORNIA QUIET.

Los Angeles. Cal, Aug. 1.-THE strike
situation in southern California and
In The southwest IN general is without
material change this morning. The
Western Union now has As operators
on the day and night forces an against
70 at the time OF the strike. Supt.
Lamb says that these men are handling
as much business now as the entire
force before the strike.
Tho only point in local territory
which remains permanently tied up is
Prescott, Arizona, where the destruc-
ton of the companys property was
threatened. No violence has occurred
there, however. and It is believed none
will occur. The interference with Vest
ern Union wires by railroad operators
is growing daily, according TO the OFF,
cials. Only small amount OF inter-
ference was reported today.
Saturday one unknown railroad oper+
ator on the Denver x Rio Grandc, north
OF Albuquerque grounded six of the
company's most important wires at one
time and put them out of commission
for many hours. Three of these wires
were transcontinental. The identity
of the railroad operator causing tho
trouble could not be learned.
The Postal situation remained un-
changed. That company has about
a dozen operators working in the place
of the usual 30. There Is little delay
on business, however. In fact. both
companies reported clear to practio-
ally all points at o'clock this morn
ing The Postal has opened only two
of it's nine branch offices in the city
but the Western Union has its entire
number-12-working with single ex-
ception.
The striking operators are patiently
awaiting developments confident of the
outcome. IT is rumored that they are
engaged in securing evidence of the al
legged shipment by express of messages
filed with one Of the telegraph COM
panies here.

STRIKE SITUATION.
II Remains Without Change In salt
Lake Today.

The telegraph strike situation re-
NAMED absolutely without a moving in
cident today. Both offices are running
as usual with their crippled forces. The
strikers held meeting this morning,
but the only thing up for discussion was
the Friday night benefit In the Metho-
dist church. For this function the sale
of tickets replaced in interest the for
mer discussions on Pinkerton detec-
tives. and the possibilities OF breaking
the strike through the employment of
now men. al
The men have high hopes of raising
enough money from this benefit TO keep
the strike going for an indefinite period
and they fully realize that the future
outlook liz for nothing but a long and
protracted warfare in which neither
side will make a truce until absolutely
compelled to.
President Palm stu expresses n hope
ful View of the situation. claiming that
the men are sure TO stay out on the
grounds that the salary offered is too
small 10 induce more than very small
percentage to return, even II the strike
is broken.
