SAN Francisco. Aug. 1.-THE calling Of
another strike Of telegraphers in the San
Francisco and Oakland Offices OF the Vest
ern Union has been postponed through the
interv ention Of Commissioner Neill, who
has wired to President Sam Small that he
will do all in his power to bring about a
settlement Of the local grievances, which
Small says are responsible for the strikes
In other cities.
President Small sent word to Neill that a
general strike would be authorized by him
unless the griev ances here and in Oakland
are settled by the Western Union.
Nell. IN his message, ask ed for a guarantee
that any adjustment satisfactory to Small
would be accepted by the various locals
and also asked what was the demand OF
the men. Smalls reply was as follows:
The cause Of the present trouble is the
reputation Of the San Francisco agree
ment which settled the strike. Local Mana

woman Nichols on the Los Angeles circuit
caused transfers and dismissals Of men

finally led TO the strike. SAM SMALL

tional strike.

dent Small has left San Francisco and
would reach Chicago by the middle Of the
week had a quieting effect and the talk At
the meetings acted a. a check to the run
away spirit which has marked trouble from
the first
IL was reported at one oH the meetings
that 100 OF the striking telegraphers had
left town TO accept Jobs on Western rail-
roads II was said that railroad Jobs could
be found for two-thirds OF the men on
strike IN Chicago. ~ there was a scarcity OF
men In the railroad service. The majority
OF the men to leave are unmarried.
Al the meeting OF the telegraphers EN-
ployed by the brokers' packing houses and
other users OF leased wires. together with
the representatives Of operators and wire
chiefs employed by the telephone COM
panies. II was decided unanimously that
the striking telegraphers of the Western
hearty support. material, moral and flnan-
cial. The operators further pledged them
selves to refuse positively to handle any
business other than the private business Of
their employers.
An ultmatum has been sent TO the manage
ment OF the Associated Press demanding
an increase OF approximately Is week
and certain other concessions, including
a CLOSED shop" agreement.
Similar demands were sent to the other
leased wire service managers and to brokers
who have private wires. Individual agree
ments containing these concessions will
be demanded from the brokers.
As result of the days meetings many
operators not members OF the union signi-
fled their intention Of joining at once.
These accessons to the ranks give the
union about rs per cent. of the men en-
ployed on private wires in the city.
IL is said that a new schedule Of wages
will be filed with the brokers and other
leased wire operators with the ultimatum
that II he signed or the men will quit. u is
understood that the brokers will have until
wednesday to consider the case.
Al the big mas meeting yesterday the
only speaker outside the ranks OF the
telegraphers was John }. Fitzpatrick.
president of the Chicago Federation OF
Labor. Secretary Wesley Russell asserted
that there was no dissension in the national
executive board. He declared the officers
OF the board realized the conditions which
confronted the union and were with Pres-
dent Small heart and soul. He spoke OF
the treatment at the hands OF the COM
panes and declared:
They deceived us in New York and
Chicago, and when an agreement was
entered into in San Francisco they violated
that too. IL something satisfactory is not
entered into by tomorrow or the next day
a general strike OF the telegraphers Of the
United States will be called. We are going
10 win and we are going 10 win soon
