been determined not to call out these
operators. They are the top-notchers
of the business, most of them already re-
ceiving more than the $50 a week de-
manded, and it is decidedly more to
their interest to remain at work and
contribute to the strike fund than to
risk losing everything.
Arrangements have been made by
Mr.. Russell to call on Attotney-Gen-
eral Jackson today and present to him
a formal demand that he start pro-
ceedings for the revocation of the char
ter of the Western Union Telegraph
Company.
Mr.. Russell say he is prepared to
prove that the Western Union Tele-
graph Company is not complying with
the law in that its officers are sending
dispatches by train Inc telephone in
stead of by telegraph wires, as called
for by their charter He said last night
that he lac not decided whether to
present witnesses orSput his evidence
in writing.
Attorney-General Jackson said that
he would gladly take up the matter
with the telegraphers and would act
according to his judgment.
On Saturday Mr.. Russell presented a
hypothetical question to F. ]. Gavigan,
the attorney retained by the strikers.
asking IL, in the event of the Western
Union accepting messages n not
sending them by telegraph Immediate
ly, the company was not violating the
Law under which it was chartered.
Mr.. Gavigan, in a long opinion, said
that the practise charged by Mr.. Rus
sell of refusing to receive messages
for transmission unless subject to de-
lay and then forwarding such mes
sages by mail, telephone, and express
is unlawful and makes the telegraph
companies liable to a penalty of 500
to the sender for every refusal of a
message under section 1903 of the trans
p~ortation corporation Law of this State,
which provides that dispatches shall
be received and transmitted with i'm
partially and good faith.
"If under the reservation contained
in such refusal by the companies" the
opinion continues, "they presume to
withhold transmission of the messages
at their pleasure or convenience they
are thereby annulling or destroying the
benefits which the sender is entitled to
derive from payment to the company
for the rapid transmission of his mes
sage"
