strike headquarters at the Columbia
Hotel, and when read 10 the strikers was
received with great enthusiasm, It was
sent direct 10 Beattie over a brokers'
private wire which has been leased by
the telegraphers during the strike.
When asked If the general order would
have much effect on the conditions here,
Mr.. Beattie said:
'Tt viii add only a few more men 10
our ranks. Most OF the union men In this
city have already gone out. The others
who viii be called out are those In brok-
eTs' Offices who have not yet received the
scale wages The fight is now on 10 a
finish. and we are doubly confident OF
victory since the general strike has oeen
declared. Although ] DO not know any
thing official on this subject. I am as
sured that II we begin To lose ground, the
railway telegraphers viii join US OF their
own volition, and VIII stay out until our
grievances are righted The report has
been received here that these telegraphers
are willing to join us as soon as we call
on them, but just now IL does not appear
as II II were necessary"
Expect President 20 Act.
II seems TO be the hope Of the strikers
that the President will erbitrate the
strike sooner or later. They are conf
dent that in such a case they will come
off victorious.
IT was stated at the strike headquarters
yesterday that the telegraph companies
are now paying especial attention to gov
eminent and newspaper business. and
that the messages Of the private citizen
are Of secondary Importance.
The officials Of the union claim that
within a day or two even the govern
ment business will be seriously hampered,
and that when that happens arbitration
VIII speedily follow.
In support OF his contention that the
local telegraph companies were unable TO
get their messages on the wire, President
Groves, Of the local union, said last night;
about s o'clock one Of the messenger
boys employed by the Western Union
Company came into strike headquarters
last night with more than 100 kilograms,
each Of which bore a 2-cent stamp. He
said that he was about to mail them at
the post-office, as the company was un-
able to send them. looked over the out
side addresses Of the telegrams and found
most OF them were addressed to towns
near by IN Virginia, which seems 10 show
that the companies are unable to get
those points so near home.
II this IS the case. There Is much less
probability that they are getting mes
sages West OF farther South. Thus far
to-day we have made but little progress,
but tomorrow I am sure We will have a
full roll call OF union men at strike head
quarters"
