ASCRIBED TO THE FAILURE OF THE KNIGHTS OF LaBOR TO FURNISH FUNDS—WASHINGTON THE “BANNER CITY.” “There has been bad management or the strike was sold out,” remarked an operator this morning toa Star reporter. “I don’t know who ts respon- sible, but I believe that some one is. When the men went out it was with the understanding that they should receive $100,000 per week from the Knights of Labor. There were One million mem- bers, and they were to contribute ten cents apiece per week; yet the third week of the strike not a dollar had been received from that source. It 18 likely that we would not have failed if we had that help, but the struggle would have been more pro- longed and the loss of the Western Unton greater. ‘This was not the fault of the membership of the knights. The trouble was that the knights were not asked for their contributions until ten days after we wentout. We have discovered that this was not a fight against the Western Unton, but against Jay Gould. ‘Through thegenerosity of the workingmen and citizens of Washington the assembly here did not suffer, and we are proud of the claim that this 1s the banner city In the strike, our losses being fewer than any 10 the country.” “NO VACANCIES” IN THE W. U. OFFICE. “Have any of the strikers made application to you to be taken back?” asked a Star man of John A. Clarke, the manager of the Western Union. “They have not come back yet,” was the reply; “but I havo received word that they would be here at 12 o’clock, and call upon me.” ‘What are you gong to say?” continued the re- F. porter. “Iam going to say,” Mr. Clarke replied, “that there are no vacancies.’ They can come and ask to be taken back, and I can only make one reply, and that is, the force 1s full. I am sorry for the meg, but this is the state of affairs. We filled up the vacancles when they occurred permanently, and there are none now. Of course, you must un- derstand that this refers to the best places. There are some minor-places of small salaries which are Vacant. Some three of these, I believe; but with this exception we have no vacancies,” and with this remark Mr. Clarke returned to his office. THE B. & 0, COMPANY WILL STAND BY THE MEN ‘WHO STOOD BY THEM, “I have received no applications from tho strikers to return as yet,” remarked Col. Clarke, the manager of the B. & O. Telegraph company, to @ STAR man this morning. “Ihave just secured the services of three good men, and I expect them here to-day. Of course I did not know what the ‘ers were gotng todo.” aixve you any vacancies in your office,” con- tinued the reporter. “I can’t tell about that,” was the reply, “until Monday, when I will complete some arrange- ments. ‘I don’t know what will be done. It 13 very unlikely,” he resumed, “that the company will abandon the men who stood by them. They can’t do that, and I don’t suppose that they will.” One Hundred Strikers at the W. U. Office. THEY ARE INFORMED THAT THERE ARE NO VA- CANCIES. Shortly after 12 o’clock Master Workman Shelb- ley, heading a procession of about 100 of the striking operators, entered the Western Union office and filed into the entry leading into the office of the manager, The crowd was 80 great that the narrow passage way was soon blocked Up and the crowd filled up the matn office. When Mr. Shetbley entered the offlce he found Mr. Clarke, the manager, present, besides Mr. Chas. A. Tinker, the general superintendent, and the ex- manager,’ Mr. Whitney, After shaking hands with Mr. Clarke Mr, Shetbley sald: “Mr. Clarke, we, the strikers, have endeavored to make a good fight against thé Western Union telegraph com- any, Dut we have been beaten, and we acknow- ledge it. . Now, I represent, as the’ master work- man of this assembly, a number of first-class ope- Tators, who Will do you good service if restored to their desks. Can you employ any of them?” ‘Mr, Clarke replied to this: “We have no vacan- cles for first-class men, as ali those positions have been filled by men from distant places, I may need some low-priced men, but as yet cannot say anything definite.” Mr. Shetbley then sald tohim: Mr. Clarke, can you do anything for the linemen?” Mr. Clarke replied: “I have no vacanctes for linemen; but perhaps there are some positions leit open for them in New York. Of which fact I cannot speak positively, as that elty 1s out of Mr. Zeublin’s jurisdiction.” Mr. Clarke went on to say that there might be some vacancies for onerators In Pittsburg. After the result of the interview was known the men left the office, and after discussing the sub- Ject In groups quletly left for their rooms. Mr. Sheibley, 1n response to an inquiry of a Stan man as to what they would now do, sald: “We intend to stand by each other, Those of us that get work will help to support the othera, We have some money left in the treasury, Some of us are married, and can’t get away from the city; but those that can will go where there is not 80 much prejudice against them.” THE B. & 0. EMPLOYES WAIT ON MANAGER CLARKE. The former employes of the B, & 0. Telegraph coinpany, after accompanying their friends to the Western Unton, went to the B, & O. office and called on the manager, Col. Henry Clarke. They were recelved cordially, and thelr spokesman, Harry Dowling, said:—*We have come to see what arrangements can be made in regard to our return. We have been ordered back by the grand master workman.” Col. Clarke replied that cach case will have to be.constdered individually, and written applica- ton would have to bemade. It was understood to be the policy of the company that the men must leave the Brotherhood. He did not know that an oath would be required, ‘The meh withdrew to the lower office, and at once wroie applications for positions, There are about cleven former employes. RESOLUTIONS OF THE BROTHERHOOD. Be it resolved, That the Washmgton Assembly of the Brotherhood of Telegraphers return the most heartfelt thanks to the workingmen of this city, both as assembites and as individuals, for the noble and generous ald that they have rendered tous inour great struggle for our rights. This ald enabled the Washington assembly to take a stand that we could have maintained for months to come and to hoid up the banner of the rights of labor high above the reach of oppressive monopo- lies had We not been ordered back by our superior officers. We obey these orders in going back as in coming out—solid to a man.

Now that the August regatta ts one of the suc- cessful things of the past the boating interest is centered in the Potomac regatta, which is set for the 26th of September. The joint committee of the Potomac and Analostan clubs are working strenuously to get the preliminary arrangements well in hand, and they preaict a complete success, They have eleven events on the program, and if there are any number of entries it 1s not improbable that two days will be devoted to the regatta. The races as thus far decided upon will be senfor singles, Junior singles, spectal sin- les (District scullers), consolation sinzles,doubles, four-oared gigs, elzht-oared shells, junior fours, light weight fours, senior fours, and consolation fours. Gold medals will be offered in all of the races, and handsome cups have been provided for the winners of the senlor fours, elght-oared, and light weight four-oared races. In addition, hand- some colors will accompany the prizes for the crew races. INVITATION TO THE COLUMBIAS. The joint committee have extended a special invitation to the Columbia Boat club to partici- pate in the regatta, and 1t will recelve the atten- tion of the club at the special meeting called for Monday evening. Fro1a conversation with some of the pron.inent members of the Columbias it is learned that it 1s the almost unanimous destre of the members of the club to take part in the races, and that the invitation will without doubt be accepted. ‘They intend to enter all the races that they consistently can. It 1s sald that it is doubtul if they will be represented in the elght-oared race, but it is more than probable that after making a few changes in the crew that rowed the Metropolitans they will soon have an elght afloat that they wili be anxious 0 enter.

ONLY THE BEST OPERATORS REING TAKEN BACK IN NEW YORK. New York, August 18—The main office of the Western Union telegraph company was Desi from an eariy hour this morning by nearly one hundred operators seeking reinstatement. But few women and girls were among the number, Superintendent Humstoue was busily engaged in @iscriminating between the applications — from first-class workmen, and those who were con- sidered second and third rate. Only the best workmen are being taken back, and quite a nume ber of the operators were disappointed by being Tejected. Those operators who were taken on after the strike commenced will be retained by the company tn their present positions, Since the strike was declared en: terday afternoon, only 12 women had been received back into the employ of the company. The total number of Women who have applied for reinstatement is over 45, so that 33 of that number are ieft without work. ' Superintendent Humstone gald that 45 men were taken back yesterday afternoon and evening. Abcut 30 more first men were re Instated this morning He said vhat all of Une branch offices would be open for busin by Monday morning, and that everything would be in perfect working order by that time. Ho could not promise that the company would find Positions for all the operators, but he thought that a lange number of them would be compelled to seek positions elsewhere, as the company could Not, in Justice to Itself, discharge those operators: Who stood by it in tis diMicuities.

AN APPLICATION FOR 4 LEAVE OP ABSENCE TO BE MADE A TEST CASB—THE RIGHTS OF LETTER CAR- RISRS UNDER THE LAW, ‘Tue Star stated some time ago that the letter carriers of the city were agitating the question of thetr oMctal status. As admissions to the ranks of letter carriers are governed by the civil service law, just as admissions to the general depart- mental service are, It was argued that letter c Tiers should also have the privileges accorded to other employes of the government, including thirty days annual leave, which has always been denied letter carriers. In order to bring the mat- ter before the proper authorities an application for a leave of absence for thirty days with pay has been made by Mr. A. Carew, letter carrier. In his letter to Postmaster Conger, Mr. Carew says: “AS the custom of late Years has been not to allow any leave of absence to letter-carriers in this office, 1t may not be out of place to give some reasons for making this application now. In the first place, we are employes of the Post Office de- partment ‘(not of the City Post office, though under the City Postmaster's immediate super- viston,) appointed by the Postmaster General, and of course. coming under any laws applicable to employes of that department, and in the act make ing appropriations for the legislative, executive and judicial expenses of the government, sec. 4, approved March 3, 1883, we flnd, among other things enacted in regard to all clerks and other employes of the executive departments, that all leaves of absence exceeding thirty days shall be without pay, thus conceding by law that which It had always been the custom to allow to all others, Dut from the benefits of which we have been up to the present time most unjustly excluded. In the second place, 1 has been the impression among letter-carriers that the law providing for! the ap- polntment of auxiliary letter-carriers was mis- construed when they were to separate routes and juired A lo the same luties as jars, every name indicate’ that they auxiliary seeming to Were to assist or take the place of those not able Of themselves to perform full duty. | We claim that if they had been held in reserve to assist other carriers or take the place of those absent on leave or sick, the true intent of the law would have been fulfilled. in the third place, if the preceding reasons are not suMctent we claim that a government having for its corner-stone the great principles of equality. of rights enunciated on the very threshold of its existence as a nation in the Declaration of Inde- pendence, which declares that all men are created equal, cannot afford to stullify itself by granting all other classes of its employes a leave of ab- sence with pay and denying it to the hard-work- ing letter-carriers. Other reasons might be given if necessary, but these are sufficient, and in con- clusion I ask’ that if it be not within your power to grant the request herein made, that you will, Without delay, transmit it to the ‘Post Office de- partment for'the action of the Postmaster Gen- eral.” Postmaster Conger has replied to this letter, saying: “I would state that while I can find no authority In the postal laws and regulations or the custom or usage of this office for grantin Ieaves of absence to letter-carriers with pay, and am therefore obliged to refuse your request, yet I desire you to know that Iam heartily in favor of extending to letter-carriers the same privileges In the matter of leaves of absence that are enjoved by other clerks and employes of tbis office; and with ‘a view to have granted to me authority to give such leave, I have re- ferred your communication to the Hop, Frank Hatton, First Assistant.

If they chose to give in he would resign and have nothing further to do with the brother- hood, He asserted that the west had shown no signs of weakening, but the east had not been dis- playing the firmness expected. With the co- opzration of other large western cittes, he belleved the contest could be prolonged to a stage where the company would have to recognize their bill of rights. Telegrams from Cincinnati, Cieveland and St. Louts were read alleging that the strikers in those cities would not recognize Campbell's circu- lar.
