INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. lo.-Members Of the
local union of Commercial Te~legraphers
were in session from 8 o'clock last night
until 2 o'clock this morning discussing the
a~dvisahtlity Of going on strike. but no con-
clus ~ was reached except to get into
con NaEur ication with President Small and
lay To local situation before him. So far
as known the telegraphers have no grew
ances and a strike would be purely sym
pathetic.
One OF the members Of the local executive
board said that he would not agree to a
strike being called unless strike orders from
the national officers were received or unless
some new condition arose. 1t was said that
il any OF the men are ordered 70 Chicago
to fill the vacant places In the offices there
they will refuse 20 60.
Early in the meeting the more radical
members OF the local we're most in evidence
and it seemed as il a strike in this city might
be precipitated without any orders or
sanction from the national officers. The
more conservative members began to
speak and it was decided that communion
ton should be had with the national officers
to-day.
