The order was issued at general headquarters of the union here on teIegraphic instructions from $. J. Konenkamp,, international president, who was in Fittsburg his way to Chicago.
 The strike order applies to employees of the Western Union Telegraph com pany, the American Telephone and Telegraph company and the Postal Telegraph and Cable company, with its associated institutions.
 It was estimated at headquarters here that the strike would affect be- tween 6o,000 and 100000 individuals. of whom nearly 25.0o0 were said to be members of the union. Outside of the union ranks, it was said, many wire workers had pledged themselves To support a strike.
 The decision to call nationwide strike was reached by President hon- enkamp after spending several days in Washington, where he had directed strike of union employees in 10 south eastern states. That strike followed strike of telephone workers in Att lanta, where telephone employees were said to have been discharged because of union affiliations although the Southern Bell Telephone company de- nied union membership had been the basis of any discharges,
 A strike vote was taken recently concurrently with one by the Interha- tional Electrical Workers union. THE STRIKE ORDER
 The strike order was as follows:

 {Signed) as. J. KONENI<AMP,
