THE TELEGRAPHERS' LOCK-
OUT desire to correct an article
in the Chicago Journal headed Rail
road Operators Strike; Telegraphers
on Missouri, Kansas & Texas Are
Called Out" The teIegraphers on
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas are not
on a strike. They are locked out,
and the responsibility rests directly
on Receiver Schaff and Chief Operat-
ing Officer Webb. These two gentle
men have taken it upon themselves
to destroy our organization on the
Kay lines and they now take the pO-
sitiOn that they will not permit mem
bers Of the Order of Railroad Tele-
graphers to remain in their employ.
During the past week, in spite of
the fact that President Perham Of
the o. r. T. had asked United States
government to mediate the case, and
| understand Mediator G. w. w. Han
ger was endeavOring to settle this
and bring about an amicable settle
ment, Mr. Webb locked out 230 Of
our men and evidently intended to
discharge each and every member of
The o. R. T. as soon as he could fill
their places, and much as he regret
ted to so so on account Of the in
:ernational complications, President
Perham had no recourse but to call
the rest Of the men out on strike, and
Chis was done Thursday.
We will take care of these men as
every railroad in the United States
and Canada and both of the large
employing commercial telegraph
companies are short Of men, and are
not adverse to hiring men from our
organization, finding it to their, bene-
6t to do so.
If it is entirely consistent, I wish
you would give this matter space in

know the exact cause of the trouble
