Strike Leaders Assert Their Belief In
 Ultimate victory-SmaII Leaves New
 York For Chicago on Fastest Train
 He Can Get.
 New York, Oct. 15. - Ranks were formed anew by the striking telegraph operators, following the suspension of their president, s. J. Small, and preparations were made for stubborn fight against the Western Union and the Postal Telegraph companies, and which, aided by other labor organiza- tions, may continue until January.
 Prompt repudiation of the action of MT. Small in suggesting that the opera tors go back to work came from every local union throughout the country but one, and he was fiercely assailed at a mass meeting in Clinton hall, at which his resignation was demanded.
 His action undoubtedly had some ef- feet early in the day, and it was as- serted that defections from the ranks of the strikers followed it. Both con- panies declared their former employees were again seeking the fold. The Western Union announced that forty or fifty men had been taken back throughout the country, four of whom belonged to the main office here, while the Postal Telegraph said more appli- cations for work had been received yesterday than at any time during the strike. The operators of both corpora tions at Charleston, S. C., returned to their posts.
 Strikers More Stubborn.
 Leaders of the strikers were equally positive in asserting their belief in ultimate victory. They said there were only 300 operators in the offices of the two companies in this city in place of the 1,SO0 which compose the normal complement. Scouts captured two Ire pentant strike breakers" and brought them in triumph to union headquar- ters
 Officers of the Western Union and the Postal maintained that they had two-thirds of the usual force at work and were we'll able to take care of their business.
 S. J. Small, who only few weeks ago enjoyed the full confidence and respect of the operators, is now in full retreat toward Chicago on the fastest train he could get. He had difficulty in getting out of the mass meeting in Clinton hall, where he was suspended for the alleged nOnperformance of his duties. He was saved from meeting the Armstrong committee" which, as one of the members expressed it, might have been absentminded with fists, by the prompt use of the back stairs and a fire escape. MT. Small went to his room in the Astor House, where he slept late. He was aroused by shouting in Broadway, for 300 pickets of the union, men and women, were marching to the office of the Western Union Telegraph company, proclaim ing their repudiation of him and their determination to fight to the last. Without seeing any of his former lieu tenants, he quietly left the hotel at ? o'clock and started for the west.
