Postal Operators Quit.

Chicago, H., Aug. 9.-The operators
OF the Postal Telegraph Company, 500
in number, struck tonight a few min.
utes after o'clock. These, with the
LOO men out from the offices of the
Western Union, makes 1000 men now
on strike in this city At a meeting
of the operators held this afternoon
a resolution was unanimously passed
declaring that every operator in the
city having a union card should be
called out The debate on the motion
occupied the entire meeting. and an
adjournment was taken as soon as the
move was decided upon. A little later
demands were presented to the Postal
Company for an increase of 25 per
cent in wages, an eight-hOur day and
recognition of the union. II these
were not granted the strike was to
follow II was the general under
standing among the operators that
the demands could not be granted at
once and the move was evidently in
tended to cause a strike at once in
order TO aid the Western Union men.
Under the working of the order all
the operators working for brokers and
commission houses will be called out
in the morning and business will gen
orally be badly handicapped.
The general situation throughout
the West became more serious as the
day heightened. In addition to the
strikes reported during the afternoon
Il was said that the men in FL Paso
were out and IL was declared that
those in Spokane were on the verge
of striking. The strike at the Offices
of the Postal Company was attended
by no sign Of disorder. in fact the
strike thus far has not been marked
by trouble Of any kind The business
OF the Western Union in this city was
paralyzed by the strike.

President clowry Talks.

New York. Aug. 9.-Col. Clowry.
president and general manager of the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
gave out the following statement re-
garding the strike at Los Angeles:
ION July % an operator at Los An
geles was charged with maliciously
delaying the business. An investiga-
ton, which occupied several days,
showed that he was guilty of delibe-
rately obstructing the traffic on i'm
portant circuits. He was discharged.
"A petition signed by other employ
es of the office requiring his reinstate-
ment was presented to the local SUI
perintendent, and when the petition
ers were advised that the company
would not tolerate the malicious de-
LAYING of important messages and
that the discharged operator would
not be re-employed, the majority of
the operating force quit work without
notice. Opera6Jrs were senI 49,
their places from neary points and at
IL o'clock last night the operators in
the Chicago office employed on the
Western circuits, acting in conformity
with resolutions understood to have
been adopted by the local union, re-
fused to work with non-uniOn men at
Los Angeles, and when this was in
sisted on they quit work in body.
"The Chicago operators have pre-
scented no grievance. and the present
move is for a contest to take the con-
troll out of the company's hands. Such
a condition, as has been repeatedly
shown. IS inimical to the confidential
character Of the companys relation to
the United States government and to
the public"
