TIED UP AT DENVER.

Denver. Colo. Aug. 9.-The Western
Union is completely tied up in this part
of the country. The men were asked to
do business with non union offices in
Guiding Chicago and Los Angeles. and
refused The grievance committee this
afternoon prepared a demand which
was later served upon the assistant
superintendent.
The men ask that first class men be
placed on the same basis as Chicago
operators. This means an advance Of
$3.50 n month. They ask for an eight
hour day FOR day operators instead Of
nine. and seven hours for night opera
tors instead of seven and a half.
The Postal operators may later be
included in the trouble. their condition
being similar To that the the Western
Union operators.
At 2:15 y. m. the entire complement
Of the operators of the Western Union
went on strike. A total of eighty-three
men walked out.

MARKET WAS WEAK
But MOI PANICKY
A Favorable Order to the Standard Oil
Gave it Little Tone Toward the
Close.

New York. Aug. "a remarkable
feature of today's market, in view of
the violent fluctuatiOn of the last few
days.-was the freedom from sensation
alism in spite of the recurrence of a
marked degree of weakness. The hope
that the liquidation spent its force and
that a substantial rally would result
from the requirements of uncovered
short interests was short lived. New
points of weakness developed almost
from the outset Instead of the fever
ish violent breaks which characterized
yesterday there was a gradual and
not disorderly recession. The bears re-
Trained from their fierce raiding tao
ties and seemed in no anxiety to cover
short contracts.
The most pronounced recovery of the
day came after the report Of the grant
ing Of a writ of error to the Standard
Oil company i'm the case involving it's
S29.000.000 fine. The direct connection
between these two facts is not clearly
evident.

more or less directly based. tonight ap-
pears no nearer than on Wednesday,
when the men left their keys. From
neither side today was there a move
toward advancing the negotiations that
ended yesterday with written de-
mand upon Captain Lamb for the rein
statement of a discharged operator and
the amelioration of certain conditions
which it was stated had been instru-
mental i'm bringing about the walk-out.
Superintendent l. n. Miller of San
Francisco. who arrived this morning. is
in charge of the situation for the
Western Union. His promise of an Of
ficial statement, embodying the POSI-
tion of the company tonight. was re-
scinded when he was advised that Eth
ebert Stewart, a representative of the
commissioner of labor, would arrive in
the city tomorrow morning. MIR. Miller
stated thaA he would Immediately go
over the local situation with Stewart,
and probably then issue a statement. At
the same time Miller stated that the
company now has a force of forty op-
orators handling all business to his en-
tire satisfaction. The men at work
were reinforced today by the arrival of
ten operators from San Francisco.
The striking operators today held an
open meeting at which il was deter
mined to invite the attention Of Labor
Commissioner Neill 10 the details OF
the situation which they dscribed as
intolerable. At that time there was no
knowledge OF the coming of Mr. Neilrs
representative. Nbut committee from
the men will undoubtedly call upon
him at the earliest opportunity.
Late in the afternoon IL became
known that the operators of the local
office Of the Postal company were dis
affected and that walkout there
might occur IL the present differences
are not adjusted in day or two. The
trouble originated in the discharge Of
two operators. one Of whom was drop
ped when he appeared for duty yester-
day. He alleges that after a day Of
hard service ne re-appeared for work.

ground of incompetency. 1t is stated
that the men will probably present a
demand for the reinstatement Of both

, opinion concurred in both by men as
ISOLATED with the executive affairs of
the Western Union and representatives
of the Commercial telegraphers union
| made tonight.
The position taken by the company
is that the men have no substantial
grievance but are in some instances
willing and i'm other instances unwill-
ing victims of the prevailing social un-
rest man who enjoys the confi-
dence Of high officials of the Western
Union said tonight: THE men have
no grievance. They have the strike
fever and the younger element which
| appears to be in control in the west
and TO which a period OF idleness
would work no particular hardship is
anxious for a show down which will
test the strength of the organization
throughout the country. The company
will fight for surrender would be sui
cidal If the strike becomes general as
it was in 1883 business for time will
be hampered as it was then but even
tually the men will be beaten.
"A strike in New York will prove a
different proposition from a contest in
the west. There the men generally are
younger than those employed here. In
the city are many operators who have
. reached an age where the greatest eff
ficiency is thing of the past. Never
theless they still are taken care of by
the company. They realize that should
the strike fail and they would be
obliged TO return to work on their
merits as operators they would be at
a serious disadvantage"
on the other hand it is pointed out
in union circles tonight that the orig
inal grievance against the company
was in this city and that seventy-five
per cent Of the operators employed
here. Were union men prepared to
leave their keys the moment strike
was ordered by executive officials OF
the union.
4 union mar said tonight: Nine
operators We're discharged from the To-
cal office last spring and have not yet
been reinstated as we demanded. We
propose to see that the company does
as & agreed to do. We are prepared
to quit work upon instruction from the
national officers The strikes In the
west have, we understand. been the re-
suit of directions from local unions In
these cities. This will not be the case
here where orders from the chief ex-
ecdtiye will be awaited We will not
man wires operated at the western
ends by non-union men whicG include

None Of the high Western Union Of
ficials would be quoted tonight In re-
ply to all inquiries the reply was mo

tai men are out at Chicago the COM
pany does not consider that it is in
volved except incidentally in the pres
ent trouble.
At midnight Vice President Charles
p. Adams Of the Postal, who was at
the Broadway office. said: This time
II is going TO be a fight to finish.
Not only have l75 men. walked ont i'm
Chicago. but in New Orleans men with
out moments warning notified the
manager that they too. had joined the
strike. As ! understand two men re-
fused to work the Chicago wires with
non-union filters in. and when they
were discharged the whole crowd went
out with them. Their action was un-
justifiabie and unWarranted
AT tonight our general eastern

wires are now working between here
and that point. 1t was just two hours
later that / got word of New Orleans
walking out. We are still taking mes
sages for that section but they are
subject TO delay.
This is a purely sympathetic strike.
There is absolutely no grievance what
ever against the company. All their
demands have been granted and they
are perfectly satisfied so far as treat
ment by the Postal Telegraph company

cessions this time. The thing will

Night Manager Robinson - of the

company had eight or ten wires to

smoothly with no indication of trouble

A special meeting of the local has
been called for Sunday to consider the
failure of the two companies to live

five men and four women. who We're
suspended on account of their union af-
filiations some months ago. Under the
agreement made by President Clowry
and Neill these members We're to have
been reinstated. our members i'm the
main offices and several branch offices
throughout the city have grown rest
less under this shabby treatment. We
have done everything in our power to
prevent a telegraphers' strike in this
city. The Western Union officials have
used every method at their command
to bring about this strike, and If one
occuYs they will be held directly re
@?onsible.'
Officials Of the Western Union Were
in conference as were the officials of
the Postal company. Nothing was
made public. The last general strike
of the Western Union was called July
"a years ago and lasted exactly one
month. Business was for a time de-
moralized. Eventually the company
claims to have won. and the men re-
turned to work under the same condi-
tions as before the strike. The strike
was for shorter hours and after the
trouble was past the new conditions
sought by the men were put m effect
by the company.
1t is figured that 5000 operators are
employed in Greater New York by the
two companies. the telephone compa-
nies and brokers. What proportion Of
these would be involved in a strike di
rectly or through sympathy is prob
lematical. An effort to maintain con-
nections with the west will be contin-
ued tomorrow by both companies.

THE EARLIER SITUATION.

Chicago, Aug. 9--The operators Of
the Postal Telegraph Co. seven hun
dred In number, struck tonight. a few
minutes after six. This. with the
twelve hundred men out from the Of
fices of the Western Union Telegraph
Co, makes all told, seventeen hundred
on strike in this city.
AT a meeting of the operators held
this afternoon a resolution was unani-
mously passed declaring that every
operator in the city having a union
card should be called out. The debate
on the motion occupied the entire
meeting and adjournment was taken
as soon as the movement was decided
upon.
A short time after the meeting the
demands -ere presented to the offic-
ials Of the Postal asking for an in
crease Of twenty-five per cent an
eight hour day. and recognition of the
union. II these are not passed upon
strike is to follow.
1t is the general understanding of the
operators that the demands will not
be granted at once and it was evident
~ intended To bring about a strike in
order to aid the Western Union men
Under the order all operators working
for brokers, and press wires will be
called out in the morning. Business
generally will be badly handicapped.
Ii is said tonight by some OF the op-
orators that the Intention Of the union
was To cripple the telegraph facilities
OF this city in every direction. and to
do IL so completely that public senti-
ment will be brought to bear heavily
upon the two companies. and i'm this
manner force a settlement between
them.
The general situation throughout
the west became more serious as the
day heightened. In addition To the
strikes reported during the forenoon it
is said that the men at FL Paso. Texas
went out and il was declared that those
ut Spokane. Washington were on the
verge of a strike.
The strike of the Postal was attended
by no sign of disorder. When the
whistle was blown the operators rose
from their seats with cheer and
walked out. There was not the slight
est evidence of any i'll feeling on eth
er side. The strike throughout has
not been marked by trouble of any
kind.
