NONSENSE, SAYS MACKAY.
Postal President Calls Telegraph

company, charging telegraph pool
Mr.. Mackay was emphatic when asked 70 speak
for his company, and said that no company had
fought the Western Union so persistently his.
and declared that at times this cOmpettion be

Of tbs statement
We are litgating with the Western Union all
over the country in regard TO railroad rights e
way. The Western Union Is trying 70 exclude
all stations. and has Just succeeded in
excluding us from the Birmingham union station.
which is perhaps the finest union station n this
country at present we intend to take that matter
into the courts TO set aside the monopolistc

Look az the Cuba cable which we are now lay
ing, and which will be in operation by September

from the Western Union
Look at the Pacific cable, which took bIciness

doing Other companies have competed merely
to be bought out, and none Of them paid a

STRIKE TO SPREAD EAST.
Small Leaues Frisco To-Day to Call
Other Udlk-Outs

Oakland. Cal. Juy As result Of the refusal
Of Assistant General Superintendent Miller Of the
Western Union Telegraph Company to-day to
meet committee of the striking operators, Presi
dent Small Of the Commercial Telegraphers Union
will start for the East tomorrow. where he will
call a strike. presumably at Chicago and other
Eastern cities
Mr. Miller refused let the committee enter
his Office but sent them q note stating that he
would meet them as individuals If they sought re-
instatemcnt. but would meet union man as such
President Small Of the telegrapherS union. much
disappointed at the failure of a peace conference,
issued the following statement:
Il feel absolved from further responsibility. mas
much 7 have made every effort, before and after
the strike occurred to bring about a conference
In the future will have pay less attention TO
the feelings of the opposition and public opinion
and carry on fight with determination
and with the one object in view OF Gripping the
enemy until they are willing meet us in peace
conference Future moves will be forclole ana de-
csive."
Chicago, July 9-The indications tonight are
that the controversy between the commercial
telegraph companies and their telegraph oper-
ators will be fought out in Chicago. With the
announcement tonight from the Pacific Coast
that Assistant General superintendent Miller
had refused to meet committee from the
union and that President Small would leave for
Chicago tomorrow came a message from Mr..
Small TO the president of the local union 20 call
I q meeting Tor sunday 10 vote on the SlTlhe
proposition The message also stated that Pres
ident Small would be present an the meeting
and would address the members Of the union.
President Small also Informed the local officials
that he had requested Grand Chief Perham Of
the Order of Railway Photographers to be pres
ent at the meeting.
While no official announcement was made to-
night it was the general understanding here
that the three members of the executive
committee Of the Commercial Photographers
Union who started for San Francisco with
Labor Commissioner Neill last night would be
ordered 10 return to Chicago.
Regarding the refusal of the Western Union Tele-
graph officials at San Francisco 10 receive COM
mittee OF striking operators. President r. G
Clowry Of the Western Union company said last
night:
The committee that Assistant General Superin-
tendent Miller Of San Francisco refused 10 meet
strikers and not in the employ Of this com
pany."
AS United States Labor Commissioner Neill
was on his way to San Francisco, there was
some wonder expressed here Yesterday that
President Small did not wait until Mr. NELL ar
rived before appointing a committee Of the
union The New York local. al its last special
meeting, passed a resolution of confidence in
President Small and the national officers. how
ever and pending official statement from
President Small have nothing 10 say.
