New York, Aug. 14.-There was a
little change in the telegraph strike
situation today, as. far as concerns
New York and other eastern cities.
Both Western Union and Postal Tele-
graph companies profess to be thor
oughly satisfied with the progress
made toward normal conditions. On
the other hand the leaders of the
strike declare their cause has been
strengthened by the response to the
calls to go out in many of the cities
where strikes had not already been
inaugurated.
No trouble developed among the
telegraphers employed in the scores
of broker offices in the financial dis
trict, where, according to the tele-
graphers many big houses granted
the demands of their men as regards
wages and working hours. The news
service throughout the east was prac-
tically unimpaired except in the cas-
es of two or three smaller centers
and the news of the world was moved
to all points.
The hope of the strikers that the
Order of the Railway Telegraphers
would make common cause with the
Commercial Telegraphers had not
been realized tonight.
Vice President Nally Of the Postal
tonight summarized the situation
thus:
''The strike is over so far as we
are concerned"
Gene, Il Superintendent Brooks OF
the western Union said:
I'VE are moving business, rush
and otherwise to all parts Of the coun
try with normal dispatch"
