FEW RESPONDED
TO SMALL'S ORDER
TELEeRAPHERs' STRIKE slruA.
TloN SHOWS FEW CHANGES.
NO SIGNS OF SETTLEMENT
Indications are that Strike Movement
Reached lts High Water Mark
Before the General Strike
order was Issued.

New York, Aug 17,--lnterest in the
telegraphers' strike centered Friday
in the probable effect of the general
strike order issued by President
Small, of the national union, and
which. called upon all operators EN-
ployed by the commercial telegraph
companies and those working private
and leased wires not under union con-
tracts, to go out. Throughout the
east there were few If any responses
to the call This was explained on
the ground that all operators who
would strike had already quit work,
and here the strike order was given
Importance only as affording official
sanction of the action already taken
by the strikers wih, out the previous
approval OF the national officers.
Both the Western Union and Pos
tai companies claimed not to have
been affected by President SmNrs
call and to be working their wires
better than at any time since the
strike was declared. Business It was
said was again moving smoothly. The
Associated Press was not affected ad-
versely. On the contrary, several OF
the men who had left the service in
the east returned to work after the
strike order had been promulgated.
Chicago, Aug. 17.--No progress was
made Friday by labor leaders who in.
tervened to bring about a settlement
of the telegraphers' strike by arbitra.
tion. President Small, OF the tele-
gronbara' nrpanization mot GomupI
Gompers and Labor Commissioner
Neil during the day. but last night
he said It was only In a social way
and that It was too early in the fight
to talk of arbitration.
Despite the general strike order
sent out early in the day both tele-
graph companies by actual test were
able to handle business with greater
promptness than at any time since
the union men walked out. Small
towns which have been almost cut of
from telegraphic communication in
various parts OF the middle west and
far west we're reached in regular or
der. Both telegraph companies de-
clared that since the strike order had
been issed many recruits had been
added to the working force, with al.
most no desertions traceable to the
order.
Commissioner Neill left Friday for
Washington. Just before taking his
train he said that the strike could not
be settled in Chicago and that the
only place where an adjustment could
be reached was in New York.
