Brooks Says Union Will Never Be
Recognized.

New York, Aug. 26.-Arbitration of
the telegra piers strike as it stands at
present is out of the question, accord
ling to President Small of the Com
mercial Telegraphers' union, today.
Small said the strikers are prepared
to remain out for two months and that
the union will support them for that
time. The executive board of the AM
erican Federation of Labor, he added,
will consider the relation of the fedora
Ltion to the strike in day or two.
Small said the week opened with the
brightest prospects for the strikers. and
that conditions are worse for9thes COM
panies than ON the day the strike was
called.
Superintendent Brooks Of the West
ern Union, today said:
sour company will have nothing to
do with Small or his union. While we
are willing to consider individual cases
of the men who went out where we
believe they did so under pressure of
the agitators, who have engineered the
situation, will not be re- employed un-
der any circumstances"
Strength in the market gained force
during the course of the day. Feeling
was more confident over the money
outlook and the confidence was in
creased by reports in circulation that
$40,000,000 of the New York city bond
issue would be underwritten by prom
inent banking houses. thus assuring its
success.

his companions. Mr. Wellman said to
them:
'.If I am lucky you will hear from

you will never hear from me at all.
