Developments Are Expected in
The TeIegraphers' Strike as
A Result of important Labor
Meetings.
NOTHING TO ARBITRATE
THE EMPLOYERS DECLARE
Claim Operators Left Their
Places Without Cause and
Notice and That They Are
Filling Their Places.

"There Is nothing to arbitrate."
These are the words of a high Of
ficiaI of the Western Union office,
as given out by I. NJ. Miller, divis-
ion superintendent at Cincinnati.
This information is the chief de-
veIopment in the strike situation.
The striking commercial teIe-
graphers are willing to arbitrate,
but they have little hope that the
managers Of the companies will
consent to meet the board Of the
American Federation Of Labor.
In the meantime, President
Small Of the strikers, is trying to
raise So 2,ooO, 900 fund for continu-
ing the struggle.
Chicago, Aug. 17-Unless the Off
cials of the Western Union change
their views there will be no arbitra-
ton of the commercial teiegraphers'
strike. From information received
here the officers of the company are
standing pat in their refusal to con-
slider any offer of compromise or con-
cession. Their attitude is outlined in
the following official statement:
We have nothing to arbitrate. The
operators left our service without
cause and without notice and we are
filling their places.
other Labor Anxious to Aid.
One of the possibilities of the strike
at the present time is the sympathetic
action on the part of organized labor
in this city in all it's various branch
es. The teiegraphers are not only
watching the action of their own gen.
eral Offices and the labor leaders of
national reputation who have interest
ed themselves in the present diff
Guilty but they are now looking to the
union men in general for assistance.
Tomorrow, a day when labor unions
hold important meetings in this city,
is expected to be turning point in
the present crisis as affecting the
telegraphers. 1t is hoped that action
will be taken by the central labor
body which will bring pressure to
bear on the telegraph companies, even

stringent action of calling out men
of other trades on strike. The situa-
tion shows little change, though i'm
portant action at any moment would
not be surprising.
Willing to Arbitrate.
The statement made by Samuel
Compers that the strikers were will
ing to arbitrate, was well received by
business men. but it caused no rejoic-
ing among the idle men.
The general board of arbitration of
the American Federation. whose good
offices the telepraghers are willing to
accept, is composed of John Mitchell,
president of the United Mine Work
ers of America; Daniel J. Keefe. presi-
dent of the Longshoremen's orgaaniza-
tion and Samuel Gompers, head of the
Federation of Labor. These
men have labored necessarily since
the strike was declared to bring about
a peaceful adjustment of the trouble.
They have been assisted by United
States Labor Commissioner Neill, who
left for Washington, it is believed. for
the purpose of seeing the high officials |
of the telegraph companies. He will
probably proceed from Washington to |
New York at once.
