BOSTON Gets Into Line With Dis

RAILWAY OPERATORS AID
Have Not Quit Work, but Participate
In Strike Movements In Underhand
Satisfied With Situation In NewY York

Boston, Aug. 14.-New England's
participation in the strike of telegraph
operators, which began at Los Angeles.
Cal, more than week ago and which
has since been spreading to various
sections of the continent. came at noon
yesterday when, by order of the ma
tiOnal executive officers of the union. Il
majority of the operators of this city
left their work.
While comparatively few operators
at other points in New England have
been reported as having joined in the
movement the serious handicap in this
city, which is virtually the central
telegraph exchange for northern New
England, effected the most embarrass-
ing tie up of wire communication eXpe-
rienced here since 1888, when a gen
eral strike to enforce practically the
same demands as are now made proved
unsuccessful
A feature of the New England sit
uation is the cooperation which the
railroad photographers are said to be Civ
ing the strikers. The Western Union
company depends largely upon the rail
road lines and operators for the
handling Of commercial matter to the
smaller places. While none of the rail
road men are on strike. reports from
several places say that the railroad
men at intermediate stations are inter
fering with the transmission Of through
dispatches 10y opening their keys and
confusing the strike-brcakng opera
tors so that little business can be done.
This situation proves especially ag-
gravating because there is no way to
discover the identity of the offending
operators.
About go New England operators,
including those of Boston, day and
night forces. have Joined the strike thus
far. In this city the telegraph COM
panieS. though greatly embarrassed.
are getting everything off after some
delay.
With the exception of few points in
New England. The Associated Press
wires are being worked as usual. and
in the case of the exceptions the pa
pers are kept supplied with full reports
by mail and telephone.
Opinion as regards the length. fur
ther spread or continuance of the strike.
CLEANED from all sources, is of widely
different character.

OBITUARY.

On Tuesday morning at O'Clock,
Mr. A. t. Gilmore passed sweetly to
rest, after a long, painful illness. For
eleven years he was our efficient SUI
perintendent of the Odd Fellows
Rest. When duty called him he was
ever ready, waiting TO answer its
summons The sad news of his death
was painful shock TO the communi-
ty generally and a thrill of sorrow
filed the hearts of all who knew him.
Death has yelled the scenes of life
and his sweet spirit has entered into
life eternal.
He passed from this life as peace
full as summers's cloud, surrounded
by his loved ones, and his last word
was to his beloved daughter who was
always at mis- bed side ready to sup
ply his every wish and want with
sweet expressions of love and sympa-
thy and sad good-bye's for the dear
ones he was leaving behind. His life
was crowned with industry. His use
fal life was benediction to his home
and friends. From the fountain OF
his pure soul flowed a never ceasing
stream of love toward his fellowmen.
He was true to all the ties of friend
ship; once loving you. he failed you
not; and now that this faithful and
loving father IS gone our home is
desolate and our heart strained and
bleeding. Life seemed to him one
long winding lane, bordered on both
sides by the choicest blossoms. He
was a beam of merry sunshine and
his joyous laugh that gladdened so
many hearts was silvery in its sweet
ness. Lovely, amiable, patient and
generous, the memory of him will be
a sweet incense that he was loved BY
all who knew him.
IN the beautiful Odd Fellows Rest
beneath drifts of lovely flowers, be-
dewed with bitter tears that fell un-
checked from the eyes of friends and
loved ones, the mortal body of the es-
teemed and beloved father was con-
signed to the bosom of mother earth.
to rest beneath the clover sod that
takes the sunshine and the rain.
May the fairest flowers of our South
land bloom above his grave and ma
ture's ch0risters chant their sweetest
songs where he slumbers. Peace to
his ashes; after life's fitful fever he
sleeps well.
The friends of the entire communi-
" sympathiZe with his beTeaved
daughter and sorrow stricken family.
