The TeIee,suhers, Strike.

New York, Aug. "a W. the al
rival tomorrow OF President of the
international Commercial TelegrspSers'
Union, definite efforts looking toward
forcing the officials of the Postal and
Western Union companies into some
sort of arbitration conference will be
started.
Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American Federation of Labor; John
Mitchell, President of the United Mine
Workers of America and Charles p.
Neil, United States Labor Commits
sioner, are expected to be here Monday,
when conference will be held and the
suggestion, at least, will be made that
President Roosevelt will be asked to
intervene. In the face of constant reit-
erations from the officials of the two
companies that there il nothing to arbi-
trate, The union leaders believe that
diplomatic procedure will bring about q
conference.
1t is pointed out that the situation is
similar TO that during the coal strike
several years ago, when the railroad
officials declared they had nothing to
arbitrate, but later went into conference.
Evidence of the use of the mails by the
companies when they are unable TO send
me- sigts by wire is alleged to be in the
hands of the union. Two messages
which, it is alleged, were delivered by
mail carriers, were on display today at
the headquarters of the union.
