graph. to compel railroad operators TO
receive ali commercial messages.
This" he said. the railroad tele-
graphers refused to do under any cir
.cumstanees, threatening TO leave their
keys rather than obey this order. If the
order is insisted on. we may. in few
days have a general tie-up Of the rail
roads throughout the country
strikers Refuse Inducements.
Small also said that he had received
word from Pittsburg that the Western
Union and Postal companies offered all
the women biographies who are on strike
full pay for all the time they lost through
the strike if they returned to work. and
that the offer was not accepted. This
was supplemented by a statement by g

Denies Gould Is Returning.
Daniel L. Russell. editor in chief of the
official organ of the strikers and chief
strltegist, said he had the best Of grounds
for believing that ;he strike will be salts
factorily settled by the middle of next

ment that prominent business men were
signing petitions 70 be sent TO President
Roosevelt complaining Of the delays in
transmitting and receiving messages and
asking him to act in the matter.
Eastern Superintendent Brooks, Of the
Western Union Company. said there were
no grounds for any statement that the
strike will be settled next week or the
week after or any definite time It would
have to be settled on the terms OF the
company. In reference to reports that
George J. Gould is on his way here from
Europe and will settle the strike when he
comes, Mr.. Brooks said:
NO one IL this building has any knOwI-
edge that Mr.. Gould is on his way here
He is a vice president and director OF the

controlling interest in the Western Union.
