To Operators:
received this morning communl'
cation from large number OF the op'
orators In the service OF the Asso-
ciated Press asking for changed scale
of wages and hours and requesting
reply by half past seven O'CLOCK thiS
evening.
The changes involved are SO radical
In their nature as to add over S2oo,-
600 n wear. and probably more, to the
expenses of this organization. Inc
Associated Press is mutual In Its char-
acter, makes no profits ana has no
surplus fund out of which such sum
could be paid. Any such increase must
of necessity be levied back upon tne
newspapers as part of their weekly
assessments. AS general manager, l
have no power to make such an IN
crease either in salaries or assess,
ments without authority from tne
hoard of directors. and 1t Is obviously
impossible to call this board togetheI
within the time named. The Doara

Chicago.-Actlon taken by the tslcg-
rarhers OF Chicago threatens fur
thcr decentralization OF the telegraph
service of the country. Unless dc.
mands made by press and brokers' op-
orators are speedily granted. walkouts
will result In those branches OF the
service.
The Associated Press operators will
present a new wage scale and de
mand for better working conditions to
the company Officials In New York.
The; sOcintion will be asked TO pay the
same wages and give the same conii.
tions as are enjoyed by the operators
In the employ OF the Hearst news
service. These conditions include tho
closed shop.
Operators in brokers' offices and at
the stock yards will also present new
wage scales. Every employer who re-
fuses to grant the concessions asked
Will have strike on his hands. The
leased wire operators will also refuse
to handle any messages for outsiders.
Only those pertaining to the business
OF their employers will be sent or re-
ceivcd. This will cut OF the banks
and other commercial enterprises from
the service which they have been
using since the strike began.

RAILROAD STRIKE UNCHANGED.
Both sides Claim the Other 10 Weaken
Ing But Neither Side Gives Up.


Denver.-It is impossible to forecast
what will be done by the Denver &
Rio Grande at this time. There is a
possibility that the question mag be re-
ferred to general meeting of rail
way managers and the trainmen of the
West. Another possibility is that the
Rio Grande will grant the demand. and
third solution will be that the entire
question will be left to arbitration. Un-
Til the conference is held and both
sides announce their position there is
little likelihood of any sympathetic
walkout OF the Rio Grande men.
Grand Master Morrissey stated that
the conditions on the Colorado &
Southern showed little change. They
are running their trains with about one
forth OF the usual number of loads and
| twice Us many men as usual, and even
then you cant always tell whether the
| trains will reach their destination or
| not. a special passenger train was sent
out OF here to Fort Collins in charge OF
| Conductor jerks and nonunion switch
men. The passengers objected to the
| switchmen and they were put on the
train at Utah Junction. II made the
trip to Fort Collins and back without
any tTalnmen or switchmen. While
there was no violation OF the rules OF
the labor organizations. II was rather
risky for the passengers to travel on
train without proper equipment and
crews. There are quite a number OF
descrtions reported among the strike
breakers"
The officials OF the Colorado &
Southern report very different con
dition of affairs.
Moving the Trains.

that we need. Besides the eight trains

one from TexlIne to Trinidad. We sup

Vice President Parker was asked
