Railroad Heads Fear Trouble.
New York, Aug. 15-When railroad
men here learned that five railroad
telegraphers had been discharged by
the Erie railroad for refusing to send
commercial messages the news was
received with alarm. 1t was feared
that this action might precipitate q
struggle between the railroads and the
Order of Railway Telegraphers, which
all concerned have been trying to
avert.
So well were the possibilities of
trouble realized by the officers of the
New York Central and of the Balti-
more & Ohio roads Wednesday that
when railroad telegraphers in their
employ refused to assist the telegraph
companies the issue was not forced.
The messages which promised to be
cause of dispute and possibly gen.
eral strike were promptly recalled and
their transmission was otherwise pro-
vided for. None of the photographers
was discharged, nor was the matter
taken up with them in any form.
Say Strike Is Broken.
The officials of the Western Union
and Postal Telegraph companies de-
clared that the strike of the operators
is practically broken and that enough
men are at work to handle all the bus
mess offered. The leaders of the local
union, while admitting that the union
has not sufficient funds to meet for
long the heavy demands that are being
made upon it, urged the strikers to re-
main firm and promised that financial
aid would be forthcoming.
From the newspaper point of view
the situation is decidedly improved
Both companies say that press dis
patches are being promptly sent, the
many leased wires to New York oper-
ated by newspapers throughout the
country are manned, and the press
associations report that their traffic is
now practically normal.
