Strike on Companies.

Chicago, Dec 27.-Seven hundred
unemployed Chicago telegraphers, up-
able to secure employment from the
big telegraph companies or the rail-
roads, are drafting an appeal to or
ganized labor for assistance in renew
ing the strike against the Western
Union and Postal Telegraph COM
panies. Their plan is to ask the ma
tional convention of the Commercial
Telegraphers' union, to meet in Mil
waukee June s, 1908, to issue the
strike call.
They claim that union operators
who returned to work were compelled
to drop out of the union and forfeit
their insurance policies in the labor
organization. They also insist that
the companies have Disseminated
against their former employees, par.
ticularly the women operators. They
say that only twenty out of 800 women
who joined the strikers have been
given back their places.
The leaders in the movement say
that many of those who returned to
the companies were reduced in the
schedule of employment and receive
less money than formerly. They also
declare that wire chiefs were black
