New York, n. Y, Aug. 16.-(2
lo'clock) AS a general strike order
issued by President Small from Chi
cago, officials of the Telegraphers'
union at local headquarters are en-
thusiastic today. Officers of the two
big telegraph companies and the As
ISOLATED press. however, seem to be
undisturbed and claim the strike is
affecting them but little. Messages
are being accepted subject to indeh-
mite delay.
Chicago, Aug. 16.-"Every COM
mercial telegrapher in North Ameri-
ca not working under contract is here
by ordered to strike Immediately"
This order was sent out early this
morning according to International
Secretary Russell. of the Commercial
photographers Union. The decision
was reached at a conference between
President S. j. Small and Secretary
Wesley Russells of the Commercial
photographers Union, and President
ID. H. Perham and Secretary l.. w.
Quick, of the Order of Railroad Tele-
graphers.
President Gompers of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, presided.
The conference was held at the Briggs
House. W. c. Long, editor of the
|Telegraphers' Journal, and ID. G.
Ramsey, ex-president of the Order of
Railroad Telegraphers, were also
present. After It had been agreed to
call general strike. tho following
four men were selected to manage
the strike:
Messrs. Small. Russell, Quick, Per-
ham.
These men will constitute what is
generally designated as board of
strategy"
Plans were made to use every tao
tical advantage possible in the strike.
Not move will be made without
careful consideration, and after be-
ing voted unanimously upon by the
four strike leaders.
The general strike order includes
the operators and wire chiefs. There
are about 300 of them in the larger
cities, and according to reports re-
ceived by Secretary Russell they are
only awaiting the word to quit
About 5000 operators are expected
to answer the call. There are now
more than 100 cities affected by the
strike and the number of operators
and other employees out is estimated
.at 10000.
One of the plans of the strike lead -
.ers is to induce every employe of the
telegraph company, whether operator
or not, to go out in sympathy. En-
gineers, firemen elevator eonduc-
tors and starters, janitors. window
washers, messengers and all other
workmen generally employed about
the buildings in which the companies
have their offices, and who are paid
by the companies are expected to
quit.
Labor Commissioner Neill will
leave for Washington this afternoon
He is taking no part in tonight's
conference and said that he would
make no effort to do so until a re-
quest for such action had been made.
During the day both telegraph COM
panies made a material increase to
their board of trade force and the ac-
.cession was greeted with lusty cheers
by the traders.
