SMALL FOR PEACE
President of TeIegraphers Con-
vinces Chicago Union it is
Best to Arbitrate.
STILL CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS
Declares Strike Has Cost Western
Union Millions and Service Is
Still Badly Affected.

Chicago, Sept. 23.-President S. ].
Small of the telegraphers' union had
hard task yesterday in convincing the
Chicago striking operators that they
needed" arbitration. When MIR. Small
proposed at mass meeting that arbi-
tration, in his opinion, was the proper
method of ending the strike he was
greeted with a chorus of protests La
ter he won the men over to believe as
ne did.
Il am not sure that You will get Il
chance to arbitrate." Mr. Small told the
uniOnists. This acted as a damper on
the cry of mo arbitration" which had
filled the hall a few minutes before.
Then Mr.. Small added:
Unanimous for Arbitration.
IF President Roosevelt guarantees a
kind of arbitration that has the gov
ernment stamp on it to make it genu.
inc, what do you think we ought to
do?"
'Arbitrate," was the unanimous re-
sponse of the operators.
Small predicted in his address that
the strike would be over within 10
days. He said he had been apprised
of a message between prominent en-
ployers in New York and Chicago last
Saturday which made him believe the
president would intervene soon.
Says w. L. Has Lost $4,000, 900.
President Small declared that the
Western Union company alone has lost
I$1O,0O0OO0 in dividends since the strike
started. On the other hand, he said,
the union will be in possession of
enough money within two weeks to
support every man and woman on
strike Indefinitely.
Secretary Wesley Russell said the
strikers would have to depend upon
| the human sympathy" among members
of the Gould and Mackay families, who
he declared, control the majority of the
stock in the Western Union and Posta
Telegraph companies.
Seek General New York Strike.
New York, Sept. pa secret meet
ing of the striking telegraphers was
held yesterday afternoon, when reports
were made by the various pickets. Ac
cording to the officials, a motion wa!
introduced to order out all the telegra
pliers at work in the brokers' and news
paper offices within the district of thu
New York local, which, after discus
sion, was laid on the table until Wed

Russell said this evening:

on Wednesday. The object of the aC
tion is to show how complete the tie-u
