FIGHT 1T OUT IN CHICAGO
That City battle-ground of TeIegra-
piers Strike.


Chicago, Aug 1O-The contest be-
tween the Postal and Western Union
Telegraph companies and their oper-
ators is to be fought out in Chicago.
1t has been practically determined by
the operators and the companies that
this will be the battle-ground and the
result here will largely settle the re-
suit OF the strike in other parts of
the country
The situation has not materially
changed. The operators of the brok-
ers and commission houses were at
work during the day and it was under
stood that whether or not they are to
remain at work will be settled at a
meeting to be held shortly.
The Western Union claims to have
100 men at work and they certainly
had that many men in their operating
room. They asserted that they will
be able to master the situation within
few days. The Postal has less men
at work than the Western Union and
were not in as good shape as the 9th
handling business, however, with even
an approach to ordinary speed. The
ticker service of the Western Union
was in a crippled condition and it's
service was of little value to brokers'
The strikers claimed that both of
the companies were tied up complete
ly and that with the spread of the
strike the difficulties will increase IN
til the victory of the operators is GER
tain They claimed that it was i'm
possible for the company to secure
men skillful enough to handle the
work properly and that although
some men may be imported to fill the
places of the strikers they will not
he able to do the work in satisfac-
tory manner.

CONTINUES TO SPREAD
Telegraphers' Strike Sweeping
Rapidly Over Country.
MANY CITIES NOW AFFECTED
Believed Trouble Will Become Gen
eraI as No Steps Are Being Taken
to Arrange a Settlement.

Chicago, Aug 10-The strike OF
telegraph operators continues to
spread rapidly to all parts of the
country. It began in this city when
1,500 men employed by the Western
Union and Postal companies refused
to work with the nonunion men man
ming the keys at Los Angeles, CAL
Following this action the operators at
Helena, Denver, Kansas City, Mime
apolis, Salt Lake, New Orleans, Dali
las, Fort Worth and many other cities
left their positions, practically tieing
up business at all points affected.
It is likely the strike will become
general within the next few days, but
officials of the companies declare they
will not grant the demands of the
men, especially the closed shop They
assert that the men have no money
to finance long battle and that they
are doomed to defeat sooner or later

ing a stay of execution in the judg-

only a short time and was in a fair

through the unfinching efforts Of 100
or more volunteer fremen, when a
terrific explosion rendered many fire

stones, bricks and timbers flying in
