lions, are spending their money In the
saloons. and by so doing, make 1t alb.
solutely impossible to secure the nee.
essary comforts of life. There is an
uprising all over the, United statos
against the liquor trafTc, and the day
is not far distant when this will be
the one absorbing toHc or discussion.

discussed. The meeting. will begin

OPERATORS ARE
PLEASED WITH LAW
APPLIES TO EVERY TELEGRAPH.
Err IN THE STATE, INCLUDING
ALL pISPATcHERS.

WHEELING, March 12.-It was the
general impression among local teIe-
graph operators until rev days ago
that the measure passing the legisla-
ture at the session Just adjourned ap:
piled only to dispatchers. Copies Of
the bill have been distributed among
the operators and upon becoming ac-
quainted with the real facts, that the
eight hour law will apply to every rail-
road teiegrapher in the state, the men
appear perfectly satisfied.
The only fear among the operators
now is that the railroad companies will
announce cut In salaries commensur.
ate with the cutting down of the hours
from twelve to eight. While dispatch.
ers have heretofore been compelled to
work only eight hours, as a general
thing the Offices were in charge of two
men only, a day and night operator
dividing the time. Where 1t is neccs.
sary to have only.on operator on duty
at time, the new law VIII require
three men with turns of eight hours
each, Instead of two with twelve hours
each.
1t Is generally known among rail-
road men that it is hardship. espe.
cially for a night operator. to stay ut
the k twelve hours. They have in
consideration the fact that they are
the lowest paid men In railroad SER
vice, hence cut in wages viii likely
bring en- the same trouble that &C.
cured In Maryland when the new
eight hour law went into efrect--a
threatened strike throughout the
State. The new law takes effect the
latter part of May.
