BOSTON, April 18.-Twenty thou
sand telephone employees of five New
England states are on strike today.
The industrial and social life of
five states has been seriously dis
rupted; more than 100000 telephones
are out Of commission; the loss to
business interests is daily mounting
to hundreds Of thousands of dollars
and the people are facing emergen-
cies in which under normal condi-
tions, the telephone plays the leading
part. And, yet, despite the tremen-
dous inconvenience to which the pub
lie has been subjected, the financial
loss and the personal anxiety, there
is every indication that the public
sympathizes with the striking tele-
phone workers.
The strike is an effort on the part
of organized labor to gain higher
wages.
The governors of the five states
affected by the strike cabled Presi-
dent Wilson urging action to settle
it.
City and state officials have been
and still are, making desperate efforts
to find some way Of bringing about
restoration of telephone service.
Leading democrats of New England
in a cable to President Wilson
charged that Postmaster Burleson is
wrecking the democratic party and
demanded that he be removed and
the strike settled
A general strike of all labor in
New England is predicted If the
strike is not settled in very short
time.
The possibilities of nation wide
strike of telephone employees have
advanced from the stage of being
considered to the point where plans
for such a move are in the making.
The strikers in New England are
constantly being assured of the sup
port of unions in every state.
Upon the results of this demon
stration, perhaps in event shorter
time than the public believes it pos
sible the strike may spread to every
CITY, town and hamlet in the country.

The Italians were said to be standing
