Telegraph Companies Moving Business
 Slowly.
 The strike of the United Commercial Telegraphers remains in the same con- dition that has marked 1t for the past three days
 Throughout the country. the Western IJnion and the Postal Companies are disposing of the great majority of their business by the use of managers and minor officers as operators, with such help as can be secured from nom union men. who are still in the service of the companies.
 The Associated Press strike also re- mains in statu quo. Few inroads nave been made by the strikers into the working forces of the three orsahiza- 4s : tIons. while the same is true as to the naucity of union men who have re- turned to work for the three big com panies.
 In Montgomery. the situation Is ab- soIutelv unchanged. Not a union man has returned to work and no strike breaker has arrived to i'll any or the vacancies caused by the walkout.
 The companies, however are oaity improving their services oy an equie- able distribution of the men they nave in harness and the business of the pub lie is being despatched more expedi- tiously. than during the early days or 
 the strike. .
 Montgomery brokerage firms yes terdav signed contracts with the tele- granh operators by which key men, employed by brokers are to be paid a minimum of sS0 per week.
 The pact between the brokers ana ,l ghe teleRraphers Is the result of in structions received in Montgomery yes ferday by local brokerage operators, prohibiting them from further work unless they were under contract me instructions came from Wesley Rus cell of Chicago. Secretary of the Com mercial Photographers Union.

 and Handle Business Themselves.

 Manager E. E. Williams of the western Union office stated today that the conditions were beginning to shape themselves better but that all busi- ness from the public was still being accepted subject to delay.
 Many of the strikefs were to be seen on the streets today and they still contend that their side looks bright and that the end will be in their favor They decline to make public statements for publication though they talk freely to reporters They appear to be wrought up some because those editorial expressions in newspapers touching on the strike are not altogether friendly to their cause
