BUSINESS IS HARD HIT
Nearly Every Branch of Commercial
Activity Affected by Tie
nm of Wires,

Business of almost every kind in Salt
Lake is suffering greatly as a result of
the strike of the telegraphers in the EN-
ploy of the local and foreign offices of the
Western Union and Postal companies.
If the strike continues for week more
the situation will be extremely serious
commercially here. Already Salt Lake
produce and wholesale paper houses, to
say nothing of other merchants, are at
sea as to quotations in the eastern and
western markets on the goods they han
die and every firm so affected is liable
to sustain a heavy loss at any time.
Banks are in bad shape as to remit
ting and transferring funds by telegraph,
and last night the travelling men at the
downtown hotels put up one united wall
of protest over the non-arriVal OF import
ant messages. To the drummers the
strike has been serious since the f1rst
hour of the walkout. Yesterday not more
than a score of kilograms were delivered
to the leading hotels in Salt Lake, where
formerly from 100 to 200 were delivered
daily to each.
Wholesalers and jobbers in all lines are
feeling the strike most, for they are a
class who depend on telegraph informa-
ton as to the course 70 prices on goods
which they handle. The list includes al
most every wholesaler, Jobber and large
retailer.
The banks are already sending money by
mail The stock brokers are getting along
without trouble. as the majority OF them
have leased wires. 1t is case OF salt

FEW MEN AT WORK.
Kansas City offices Handling Bust
ness Sub iect to Delay.

Kansas City, Aug. 1.-THE striking
Western Union and Postal operators here
this afternoon rescinded the resolution
previously adopted. permitting tele-
graphers to work at the board of trade,
providing that organization. and not the
telegraph companies. pay the salaries, on
condition that the men handle nothlTs
but quotations. The strikers asserted that
the board of trade had violated this agree
ment
The strikers also decided to postpone
the formal presentation of their griev-
ances to the local managers until to-
morrow morning.
Both telegraph offices here reported the
local situation practically unchanged
from yesterday. Three operators were
added to the force at the main office Of
the Postal, and A. 3. Richards, district
superintendent said his company was
handling limited amount of business to
the most important centers. About eight
men were at work at the Postal. At the
Western Union there was no increase OF
force over yesterday, but George W
BrOWnson, the local manager. said they
were able to handle most of the business
on hand. However. little was taken ex-
cept subject to delay.
The strikers, who, at their conference
today, decided to call out the men work
ing private wires into the board of trade,
were more determined than ever
I'VE feel that in order to win We must
make the tie-up as complete as possible,
said George Imbfie, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of the local tele-
graphers

ANOTHER COMPLICATION.
Railroad Operator Refused TO Handle
Western Union Message.

Los Angeles, Aug. 12-Practically the
entire force of the Postal Telegraph COM
pany in this city Joined the Western
Union operators in their strike at 10
o'clock today, Eighteen men left the
keys. Manager Lewis stated that he
would have six men left including the
day and night chief operators. The night
force of six men will also go out this
evening. The walkout was caused by
the refusal of a union operator to re-
ceive a message addressed to Chicago
from a branch office. Upon being ad-
vised of his action Manager Lewis imme-
diately discharged the operator. The
walkout followed.
The Western Union officials today de-
clared they had more operators than
We're needed in the local office here and
three of the men were sent back to Oak
land, from whence they were brought sew
eral days ago. About ten men were work
ing the keys. No communication had
been 'esta blished with New York today,
doubtless due to the strike of the COM
pany's operators there. The wires were
working to Chicago without difficulty.
The first indication that the members
of the National Order of Railway Tele-
era phers were about to become actively
interested in the telegTaphers strike was
seen here today when a railroad opera
tor at one of the stations near Los An
geIes refused to handle Western Union
business. The matter was at once re-
ported to the Western Union office here
and is now under consideration. No de-
tails were obtainable nor could any fore
cast be made as to where the trouble
would lead to

STRIKE WAS PREMATURE.
Associated Press Operators in the
South Resuminq Work.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-Operators in the Of
flee in this city, and to part OF the
south and western circuits of the Assoc
ciated Press leased wire system stopped
work tonight at 1880, The strike was
made against the wishes and advice of
Grand Secretary Russell of the Tele-
graphers' union, who tried to keep the
men at work for another twenty-fOur
hours or until satisfactory arrangements
could be made for conference between
Melville z. Stone, general manager OF
the Associated Press, and a committee or
operators,
Following the delivery of Stones reply
to the operators Russell sent a message
to all operators of the Associated Press
suggesting that Stone should be asked
to set a definite date on which he could
meet the operators, the date to be an
nounced by 1880 Tuesday night. To
message asking him TO name date for
a meeting of the directors Stone replied
that meeting of the directors would be
held Sept. 10 and he would be glad to
lay the matter before them at that time
In the meantime he would be glad to
meet any committee of the operators and
consider their grievances.
This arrangement was unsatisfactory to
many operators, particularly those on the
south circuit, and they sent a message
to Chicago urging that Stone be pressed
TO get into communication with the direc-
tors by wire, and give the operators a
reply by Tuesday night at 1880. To this
Stone replied, addressing his message to
the operators south of Louisville, that
he would see what he could do to get the
matter before the directors by wire to-
morrow. This was again unsatisfactory
to the operators.
Promptly at 7:30 a message was re-
ceived in the Chicago office from Louis
Vile saying Good night. we're out" The
operator IN charge of the operating room
in this city as soon as he received the
message called out:
Good night, X. S" the latter letters
being the Geographic call for the Chicago
office of the Associated Press. Instantly
every man working at a wire in the office
rose from his wire and stopped work.
At 10 o'clock tonight the following was
received from the Associated Press cor
respondent at Louisville. which is the
distributing point for the southern cir
cults: Service resumed south at $3.50 p.
m. to Nashville. Chattanooga, Montgom-
cry, Memphis and Macon

BITTER STRUGGLE AHEAD.
Both Sides at Chicago Pronounce
Against Arbitration.

Chicago, Aug 12-Both the Western
Union and Postal telegraph companies
claimed today to be in better condition
than at any time since the commencement
of the strike of the operators.
The Western Uuion announced early in
the day THAI il had more than 40 men
at work and was able to care for business
in fair shape "hs Postal CLAIMED to
have about 100 men and also asserted that
the delay IN handling messages was not
great. Both, however, had posted in con-
spicuous places that messages would be
only accepted subject to delay in trans
mission.
A number of men were imported last
night by the Western Union and all Of
them went to work today.
The officers of the union claimed that
the companies had about one-third of the
number of men at work that they claimed
to have, and declared that many of them
were telegraph students who are not ca
pable of doing good work.
The decision of the operators, New
York. Washington and Boston, not to
strike, did not discomfort the officers of
the union. Secretary Wesley Russell said
today:
at makes no difference what the men
cast vote to do. When the time comes
they will be ordered out and that will
be all there is to it. They will come out
when we want them"
Will Not Arbitrate.

Union in this city today issued a state
ment that there will be no arbitration.

had the sanction of their executive COM

I'VE assume that an affiliated organ

a just grievance and, according to union
principles we are determined to give the
operators our best support.

Omaha, Aug. IA personal investiga-
ton of the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph companies this morning shows

Position of the Brokers.
Operators employed in broker offices did
not strike today as had been predicted.
Many brokers had informed the officers
of the union that they would pay the
scale demanded by the operators, but some
of the leading houses declared they would
pay no more than in the past. The Off
GERS of the union assert they will be able
to bring out all the broker operators, but
the brokers say that many of their men
will refuse to strike.
Two brokers' operators struck at noon
because they were requested to handle
Western Union market quotations.

General Secretary Russell of the Teleg-
rapherS union sent out the 1OllOWlnS Dui-
