the TElFCUApHERS' STRIKE.

tGk sGAA0uFt 0tuthL.
The strike of the Western
Union and Postal telegraph
operators, that began at Lo:
Angeles and Chicago, is not only
spreading, but is likely to entail
wide complications that will result
in financial loss no less than
entail countless public incon'
venienCe.
When it is considered how
extensive are the ramiications oil
the electric telegraph lines of the
Western Union and Postal
systems, how interviewer their in
tricate connections with the com
mercial and business world; how
necessary it is TO the publication
of the worlds news items in tens
OF thousands of Journals. with
their millions of readers. some
faint conception may be formed
of how far-reaching and disastrous
such a tie up" of the lines will
be to the general public. 1t is
hoped that some solution of the
differences that exist between the
Western Union and their en-
ployes, will be reached that will
be mutually satisfactory. The
strike was inaugurated on the
operators demands for an eight
hour day. an increase of IS per
cent in wages and a recognition
of the union. While the strike
had not reached New York, at
first, it has extended ito Helena,
Mont. Kansas City. Mo-, and
other cities. Should it become
general. it would hamper the
transmission of business in all the
avenues of trade. and particularly
the boards of trade and exchanges.
Since its inception the strike
has steadily spread until it seems
likely to embrace the whole
country, wherever Western Union
and Postal employees are located.
This new conflict between
union labor and gigantic cor
poration bids fair t. become the
greatest struggle of this century.
If it is not speedily and salts
factorily adjusted its disastrous
consequences will be felt in all
the rami6cations and arteries of
trade in America and in its com
mercial relations with Europe.
The grievances of the telegraph
against the Western
Union and Postal companies have
been accumulating for years.
Choicest among these have been
too long hours of work and in
pay. The rapidity with
which the strike has spread all
over The country indicates that
the struggle between union labor
and a gigantic monopoly may
become both bitter and prolonged.
The vast commercial business and
public interests involved in this
may demand and secure
an earlier settlement of the diff
fersnces involved than at present
seems probable.

Miss Bowie halted the trial several
times during her testimony by col
lapsing on the stand.
Claims Unwritten Law.
When court convened to-day Con-
gresham Sidney Il. Mudd began his
argument for the defense with the
direct statement;
I'VE place the defense in this case
on what we call the unwritten law"
Il has been known all along that this
would be the defense. but few doubted
that some legal twists would be used
10 put more formal front upon the
arguments.
Then came this assertion:
'The widowed protector Of a defense
less family was Justified in committing
this act"
The jurors listened nttentively. They
we're sitting erect and the expressions
Of several of their faces seemed to in
dlcate that this was ths sort Of argu-
ment they wished to hear.
What 1 contend Is the unwritten
law as found in the progressive de-
velopment of the common law" con-
tinued Mudd, "as recognized in tho
constitution Of Maryland where It Is
recited that the inhabitants are en-
! titled to the common law OF England
and the statutes of England to the
extent that they by experience, have
been foupd applicable to their local
and other circumstances.
No Insanity Plea.
"The common law IS not the law OF
the Medes and Persians. It is moi
like the law OF China, founded upoT
the principle OF Confucius by which
men aretaught to be governed to-day
by the departed spirits Of their deat
ancestors. II has developed by tho
inculcation Of this doctrine into tn,
common law Of America. We have
not resorted TO what we consider /;
little less than the subterfuge of medi
cal experts to prove insanity.
I'VE do not believe and we do no
claim that these defendants are in
sane.
1T Is said that we have resorted 4
fiction; that from Moses to Maryland
the laws have been written.
