COMPANY WON
IN STRIKE OF 1885

While the conditions OF he telegraph
business have changed greatly since the
last great strike OF operators, the
causes leading to the troubles which
now exist are, in the main, the same
as those which precpitated the walkout
which took place Just after noon on
July 10, 1883, on orders of John Camp
bell master workman of the Brothers
hood of Photographers, affiliated with
the knights OF Labor. The next day
the linemcn struck.
Campbells order to strike followed
weeks of treating with the companies
there We're several small companies
besides the Western Union then doing
business in New York and the East
in which recognition of the union, en-
1 ira compensation, for sunday work,
seven for night workers, and iifteen
per cent. increase in wages We're de-
manded. For these demands nine
thousand operators, according to the
committee by Campbell, struck, and the
great majority remained out until Au-
gust lIth when the leaders of the bro
therhood advised the operators that
ii was useless to continue the strike,
and that all who wished should apply
for their old positions at once. This
/, decision was preeipitated b. heavy de-
scrtions from the ranks the preceding
DAYS, when il became apparent thar
the Western Union had Won. and that
those who would get their old places
back must apply while there were any
positions left.
For many days during that strike
the telegraph business OF the country
was badly crippled. The Western IN
ion closed every branch office in the
city except those in the stock and pro-
duce exchanges, the Fifth Avenue Hotel
and ono in Harlem, and the money
order business was suspended. Other
cities had smiiGr trouble. while small
er places, where the operators and
managers We're nonunion and refused 10
quit were closed. because the men We're
sent into New York and otter import
ant centres 10 work wires. Commercial
interests for a while suffered severely,
notably that OF several of the coiil-
to large extent sympathiziug with
the men, used every effort to secure
arbitration Of the troubles. Through
out the Western Union Company re-
fused TO arbitrate.
For several days after July 18th tue
company had difficulty in handling
business, but il gradually recruited a
force of operators until the service was
rapidly assuming its normal state,
when the brotherhood leaders saw the
tutlity OF further effort, and scnt their
followers back TO work.
OF those who Went on strike. many
were refused unemployment, and those
who were taken back We're compelled
TO sign a promise not to engage in any
further strikes. Most OF the leaders
were among those who We're not taken
back, and they were forced to seek
employment with private enterprises.
Master Workman Campbell, in en-
plaining the defeat Of the operators
and linemen. said it was not through
lack OF money, but because the West
ern Union had the greater staying
power.-New York Herald.

BALL A SUCCESS.

The ball Of the Ladies Aux
liary OF America Fire Co. No. ,
was a big success Tuesday night.
The Parade was a dissapoint
ment. Main Street was lined
with people waiting for the King
to be escorted to the ball, in an
automobile but the big car went
wrong and his Royal highness
had to 60 in an ordinary vehicle
drawn by a pair of ponies.
The West End Band led the
procession and the fire truck of
the Company followed but the
maskers had become anxious
for the dance and they had
deserted the parade and de
bouched upon the hall where
the revels were held.
And 1t was a crowded hall.
Every inch of space upon the
vast floor was occupied hy some
merry dances en- masque. In
fact there was hardly room there
to tlrn around and when King
Fa'staf, was escorted into the
midst of the throng it was really
dlth suit to make way for his
highness and his attendant
knights.
Then when he had chosen
his queen and the royal couple
were crowned the music played
and the revels we're on.
Mr.. Gus Lamperez was the
chosen King and he selected as
Queen Miss isis" Renoudet
who made a most charming head |
Of the royal party.
That the ladies made a sue
cess OF the affair is proven by
he receipts. At the door the
eceipts were SloI,5o which in
ilcates that 2o3 gentlemen paid
omissions. Ladies were free.
At the retreshment tables il is
aid the receipts were some
where in the nighborhood of
so. The actual figures will be
,rinted later.

SKIN DISEASE BACiLLl KILLED
BY WiNTERGREEN.
LIQUID PENETRATES TO THE ROOTS OF
DISTRESSING AILMENTS AND GIVES
QUICK CURE.

Oil Of wintergreen-that simple LIQUID
so well known to every druggist in the
| lands just coming TO be properly ap-
preciated. Its value has long been known
| to the medical profession, but only in re-
cent years has it been found that a prop
er mixture, combined with other sootking
agents, acts instantly in all cases of skin
diseases, stopping ammediatly that awful
itch.
Since skin diseases have been classified
by the medical profession with germ dis
eases the skill of tie docter has been bent
to getting to the roots of the disease. 1t
has been found that oil of winte rgreen,
properly prepared with other necessary
ingredients, while itself not affecting in
the least the delicate texture of the
healthy skin, gets to the base of it, at
tacks the germs lodged there and destroys
them.
One of the doctors to whom great credit
is due in developing this discovery is DR..
Decatur ID. Dennis, who, by com hining
oil OF wintergreen in proportion with
several other remedial agents, devised a
refreshing wash that did away with
greasy ointments and oldfashioned stom-
ach remedies. The medical men were
prevailed upon to give the general public
the benefit of this lotion in the shape of
