PUTTING IN COTS.
Western Union Is Preparing for a
Strike in New York.

New York, July 17.-Oficials of the
Western Union Telegraph company are
apparently preparing for a strike of
telegraphers by placing beds in the
offices of the main building at Is Broad
way. Fifty wooden cots and 100 mat
tresses have been carried into the build
ing and fifty more cots are to be re-
ceived there today.
Robert c. Clowry, president of the
Western Union, declined to talk.
Joseph F. Ahearn, president of the OPP
orators local union, when informed of
the fact, said he would appeal to the
health board.
THE placing of the cots in the West
ern Union building" he said, lis
violation of the hotel nd lodging house
laws. Through our counsel we will ell
ter a complaint to the health commits
sioner at once. The health authorities
would not permit it in Chicago and they
can not permit it in New York"
The move, the operators officials were
inclined to believe, indicated that the
telegraph company would refuse to ar
bitrate the demands of the men, and
that the visit of United States Labor
Commissioner Neill to the Pacific coast
to bring about peace would be in vain.
