TELEGRAPHERS MAY
WALK OUT MONDAY
O.-W. II. & N. OPERATORS WANT
MORE PAY, SHORTER HOURS
AND SENIORITY RIGHTS.

Indications are that $50 telegraph
operators in Washington. oregon and
Idaho will walk out on a strike prob
ably next Monday unless the O.-W. X.
& n. Co. accedes to some OF the de-
mands of the men. and at present
there seems to be no attitude on the
part OF the company officials to grant
these demands. The three operators
In the local office are among those
joining In the demand.
The operators are demanding better
wages, shorter hours and recognition
of seniority rights. According to ad-
vices received here the vote for a
strike upon the refusal of these re-
quests Is 9S per cent unanimous. Ev-
cry one of the operators between Pen
dleton and Portland have voted for
IL while there are only five operators
east of this city who have voted
against 1t. The decision is the result
OF consideration extending over sew
eral months and II will be remember
ed that branch of the union met in
Pendleton recently for that purpose.
The strike, II called, will affect ca
operators in the division between
umatilla and La Grande. In the
Pendleton office there are three op-
orators, Glen Shull, William Davis
and Millard Stearns. Dispatchers are
not classed with the operators but
station agents who run their station
alone are so classed.
The operators claim they are paid
less than those in the employ of the
Northern Pacific or Southern Pacific
and they demand the same rates. The
average salary now is SIS, they claim,
and they assert that any man working
as a switchman in the yards can
earn sl25, though he does not have
to have the education and training
required of the operator
f. J. Manion OF St Louis. fifth

the chief points at issue. though hours

Young. "In those stations where the
