ployes is scheduled for tomorrow,
when the officials of the Denver and
Rio Grande will meet with the repre-
sentatives of the switchmen employed
by the company to consider a demand
for an increase Of wages of cents

cided to grant the demands of the
men it is believed that it will have
the effect of ending the controversy

has resulted in throwing out of em-
ployment not only the switchmen
and yardmen, but also the brother
hood trainmen employed on that road.

Report that Railroad Operators

ateS CONSERVATION in High
Places.

Washington. Aug. 13.-The general
strike of the commercial telegraphers
In the United States and Canada now
seems complete Boston, the last of
the big cities to feel the effect of the
controversy, was tied up this morn
ing by a walkout of the men en-
ployed in both the Postal and Western
Union offices.
Commissioner of Labor Neill Is now
in Chicago endeavoring to find some
basis upon which the warning ele-
ments can be brought together, but
owing to the confusion incident to the
calling of so many strikes in widely
separated sections of the county. and
the high-handed attitude of the tele-
graph companies, very little hope is
expressed that the efforts of Mr..
Nell will meet with any substantial
success in the Immediate future.
The federal government is suf-
| fering considerable inconvenience

muncation, the crop reporting bureau
and the weather service being espe-
cially embarrassed.
At the headquarters Of the inter-
state commerce cnamsgsop the fear
was expressed that the trouble might

Telegraphers strongly sympathize with

MES and the report that an order has
been issued from the headquarters OF
the railroad order for its men to re-
fuse to handle these messages makes
the situation for the railroads eX-
tremely delicate. A clash between
the railroads and their operators a
this time would undoubtedly It Is
pointed out, precipitate a strike which
would be unprecedented in the indus
trial annals of this country
At the New York headquarters o
the Postal and Western Union compa
nles It is declared that messages ar,
being handled with but little delay
and that many of the strikers are ap
plying for their old positions. on tn,
other hand the union leaders declar,
that the strikers are standing firm

Officers of the local union assured
the striking operators who crowded

Some of the strikers expressed the
fear that the funds of the union We're
inadequate for a prolonged struggle.
