IN NEW YORK.

New York, Aug. G-The Western
Union Telegraph officials will fight
the strike of their operators in the
western cities, and in the east where
men may go out.
A strike among 5000 operators
of Greater New York City is inn
minent, though the sentiment
among employees is said to be di-
vided. +. IN
The foregoing is not an official an
nouncement, but is an expression of
opinion concurred in both by men
associated with executive affairs of
tie Western Union and the repres-
entatives of the Commercial Tele.
graphers union. ~ ~ 5&a>"t ~
The position taken by the com.
pany Is that the men have no sub.
stantial grievance. A man who en-
joyes confidence Of high officials OF
the Western Union said tonight:

AT ST. PAUL.

st. Paul, Aug. 9.-There is no pres
ent prospect of strike among tele-
graphers at Western Union Office in
this city. .sit So s..
The executive committee of the Com
mercial Telegraphers' Union of Amer
lea local held a meeting this afternoon
and advised the men to remain at work
and not to refuse to work with nom
union men who may man wires in
cities where strikes are on.
+ This advice has been followed and
tonight the Western Union is working
with Chicago, Helena, Butte and other
places where operators have struck.
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1907-08-10

A strike in New York, however, will
prove different proposition from
the contest in the west. There men
are generally younger than those
employed here. :.
In the city are many operators who
have reached the age where their
greatest efficiency is a thing of the
past Nevertheless they are still
taken care of by the company. These
men probably would not go out They
realize that, should the strike fail, and
they be obliged to return to work on
their merits as operators, without re-
gard to their previous faithful service,
they would be at serious disadvan-
tage." " T. s%
On the other hand, it was said in
union circles tonight that the original
grievance against the company was in
this city, and that rs per cent of the
operators employed here are union
men and prepared to leave their keys
the moment the strike is ordered by
officials of the union. A union man
said tonight:
'The nine operators discharged
from loeal Office last spring have
not yet been reinstated as we have de-
manded. We propose to see that the
company does as it has agreed to do.
We are prepared to quit work here
upon instructions from the national
officers. The strikes in the West, we
understand, have been the result of
direct cause from unions local of those
cities. This will not be the case here,
where orders from chief executives
will take it away. We will not man
wire operations at western ends by
non-union men who include company
chiefs and Clerks .%.Es .s..
