Decides on Plan of Campaign
and General Strike Order,

Chicago. Aug 16-At conference
held here last night between President
Small of the Commercial Telegraphers'
Union of America. Secretary Russell,
and President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor anu
several other labor leaders. it was de-
cided definitely that there will be no
strike of the railroad telegraphers.
These operators will be called upon
shortly TO contribute a strike fund of
$50, goo. Two of their general Off
GERS attended the conference.
1t has been declared that the order
of Railroad Telegraphers had rendered
the commercial men now on strike
their million dollar reserve fund,
The members Of the order of Rail-
way Telegrapheis cannot be assessed
without a referendum vote. a majority
of the members voting for the assess
ment. To take referendum vote of
30, 900 members would be a big task
and would consume several weeks
time

that according to the report of L. W.

no such huge fund available TO aid an
allied union As matter of fact. the
report of Secretary Treasurer Quick
shows that the protective fund on
March 81. 1907. showed a balance on
hand of only $62.404.37.
The report of Mr.. Quick did show
that his order had "A total of $l5g,-

general fund of the order. but this
would not appear to be available for
use In aiding allied unions.
When the conference adjourned last
night President Small issued an order

bers of the Commercial Photographers
union now at work. It was believed
that the issuance of this order would
paralyze a number of the brokerage
and commission houses. but no addi-
tional strikes were reported. Both the
Western Union and the Postal COM
panies claimed to have increased their
forces during the day. Both compan
les reported the situation gradually
