concerned. the strike rs failure. -
said Newcomb Carlton. president OF
the company. Just IG6 of the 40.-
900 employees OF the company were
absent from work today. or the
3.646 employees in the Metropolitan
Division. only twelve per cent went
out on strike The cables are not
affected nor was the stock exchange
affected in the least
In reply to this statement, Percy
Thomas, deputy international presi-
dent of the Telegraph unions said:
Says $4,000 Are out.
THE number OF Western Union en-
ployes present at our meeting today
is a direct contradiction of MIR. Carl
toms statement that only twelve en-
ployes of the company have obeyed
the strike order. There are approxi-
mately 1000 on strike in this city
alone. and most of these are wesl.
ern Union employees. There are from
1900 TO $500 out in the various cities
of the country. In Boston the opera
tors employed by the Postal went on,
TO a man. The Western Union also
was greatly hampered in that city. In
Buffalo the Postal men are practically
all out
Reports from all sections east OF
Chicago show a tremendous wave Of
enthusiasm for the strike. The pick.
citing system produced great results
in New York today. Many operators

Referring to a statement by Presi

not discriminating against union mer
and calling the strike "sympath,

! This is not a sympathetic strike
It is a direct demonstration agains
the Western Union because Of the un
fair methods of the present manage

Vice President Reynolds, OF tn,

this afternoon that from 20 to 80 pc
