The Opposing Forces Skirmishing Vig- orously for Plugs of all Grades. The Companies Seriously Crippled but Confident, while the Strikers Gather Strength Every Hour, CuicAGo, July 20.—Superintendent Clowry reports the business of the Chica- o eoffico of thc Wostern Union Company's \affice as moving along without any per- <ceptible friction, and that while there is not the usual rapid service, nevertheless all vital commercial and personal mes- sages and press dispatches are being sent over the wires witvout marked delay. AT NEW YORK. New York, July 20.—At 10 o'clock this morning there were singularly few evidences of a strike about the Western Union building. There w1s the usual activity about the receiving windows, but nothing more. None of the strikers ap- peared either in the basement or the op- erating rooms. ' CLOWRY'S CHEER. Omicaco, July 20.—I knew we had the men beaten ten minutes after the strike had taken place,” said Col. Clowry this afternoon, “'and subsequent d. vel- opments has proved my opinion was cor- rect.” The superintendent went on to declare that the .company was already in position to handle more business than the public was handing in. THEY WILL WIN. Manager McCullough, of the Baltimore & Ohio company, takes a more gloomy view of the situation, and declares that his company is practically at a standstill in this city, St. Louis and Cincinnati. A number of applications have been made forsituations but the applicants, as a rule, have proved incompetent. He asserts it a8 his view that the operators will win in the pending controversy. A SPIRITED MEETING. The striking operators held a meeting this afternoon which was largely attended and there was considerable enthusiasm. Ninety-four new members were initiated, including a number brought to the city to take the place of those who quilted the offices Thursday, Members of the Brotherhood expressed bitterness at the reports given by a portion of the press as to the situation in other cities and claimed that they were colored for the benefit of the company. They further contended that their a from every large city showed that companies were in hard straits and eping up a show of activity, while in reality they were badly crippled. None of the C strikers have thus far made applica return to the companies’ employ. At 5 o'clock this afternoon Chicago officials of the Western Union company claimed to be well up on all business on hand, and that by to-morrow they ex- pected to accept messages without the prov ision “subject to delay.” MEMPHIS PARALYZED, Mempnis, July 20,—Manager Emmet Howard and one operator constitutes the telegraph force h ere. Messages are Te- ceived subject to delay. The newspa- jpers are very poorly served, their columns this morning being entirely free from telegraph news. The strikers, which in- cludes every operatorin the city but one, are hopeful of carrying their point. LOUISVILLE IN THE SAME BOAT. Loursvitie, July 20.—The telegraph business is virtually suspended. The Western Union has only two first-class operators at work, who, with five begin- ners, constitute the force. The Balti- more & Ohio office is run by officials alone, The strikers added seven now men 4o the list up to noon, one of whom worked last night, Thestrikers are very hopeful. There is much complaint in business circles about the interruption of trade, but it must be confessed the mer- chants generally side with tho strikers, PHILADELPHIA O, K, PHILADELFAIA, July 20 office of the Western Union cd everything is working smoothly and bus- iness promptly transacted. The Balti- more & Ohio has a small force working, only one operator remaining atthe Amer- ican Rapid office. & The strikers say there have been seceders from their ranks. Up to this time there is no evidence of weak uess on the part of the strikers or the officials of the company. THE SITUATION IN NEW YORK. New Youk, July 20—The telegraph offlces at the stock exchange were in ope- ration this morning. The brokers say no inconvenience has yet resulted _from the strike. On account of delay the W.U. to-day sent two operators to Boston and one each to Hartford and Newark, where the force was badly erippled. The operators of the Gold andStock Tel- egraph Company, at a meeting to-day, determined to resignif cailed intothser- vice of the Western Union Company. | At the produce exchange the effect of the strike is more seriously felt and in consequence of the reduction in foree quotations received from Chicago and the west are v mes The Postal telograph company has put on some of its wires and rendered considerable as- sistance. Business at the cotton ex- change has also fallen off on account of the strike. There is great delay in got- ting quotations. AT THE MEETING OF THE STRIKERS, this afternoon, over 1,500 were present, including 400 linemen. John Mitchell presided. Telegrams were read from different_assemblies warning the men to putno faith in newspaper reports; that the ranks of the Brotherhood remained solid. A delegation of the executive committee of the Knights of Labor pre- sented a resolution expressing:sympathy and promising to the strikers in car- rying out the movement. It is generally believed the telegraphers of the elevated railroad will join the strikers to-morrow. THE CHECK BOYS STRIKE. Cuicaco, July 20.—At the time of the shift from day to night force this evening, the Western Union check boys, under the influence of the striking telegraphers and with the boyish notion of helping the strikers, quit work to the number of fifty and marched in a body to the hall where the striking operators meet. Four girls and one boy were left to do the work. Messengers were brought up from the delivery office, and in a few minutes business was proceeding as usual. AFFAIRS AT CHICAG The Western Union offic report n larger Jorce on duty here than usual. A considerable numl of day railrond operators came in during the evening, and were put to work. Business is protty well clear, except to the offices at which there is not a sufficient receiving force. Considerable trouble has been experienced during the day on a number of circuits through interruption by rail- road operators who sympathize with the strikers, and who manifest their sympa- thy by taking the wire to call to the operator at the Chicago end, ‘‘Get out, you scab,” etc., and by opening the key and breaking the circuit. One or two of these sympathizers have been caught atit and discharged. THE LINEMEN, New York, July 20.—The striking linemen held a meeting this morning. It is stated that there were 400 linemen in this city all of whom are on a strike. The telegraph companies, it 18 said, are badly erippled, and last night the Western Union brought into the city twenty-two linemen from thecountrydistricts. These were met on their arrival and persuaded toattend the strikers meeting in the morning, when they were initiated into the organization. They stated that word had been received from Chicago that 176 linemen in that city had gone on a strike. s to-night The linemen attended the telegraph- ers mecting later on, At the latter gathering it wae stated the Western Union office had but six good operators, and these being work- ed duy and night. ~ All city offices are re- ported closed. The gencral opinion was the staike would only last a few days, and the companies would be ubliged to con- cede the demands. At the Western Union office the force at work was about half the usual force. i AN IMPOSSIBILITY. Superintend®nt Somerville states posi- tively the company would not yield but would fight to the bitter end, and Eras- tus Wyman, one of the Western Union directors and president of the great North Western company, which controls nearly all Canadian lines, said so far as the (ymmdinn lines were concerned, any compromise was simply an_impossibility. JAY GOULD SAID they did not propose to recognize any committee from the Brotherhood, and that if the employes of the company per- sisted in their present action they would not get a cent. They had already made fools of themselves. At Milwaukee the manuger, four chiefs and five new hands constituted the force in the Western Union office to-day. Pub- lic sympathy is strongly with the ops tors there, A REWARD, New York, July 20, has been issued by the officials: Five hundred dollars reward will be paid for the arrest, and conviction of any person unlawfully or mali Juring, molesting or destroying any of the property, lines, posts, wircs or cables of this company or in any way obstructing or interfering with the sending of the messages, by in- ury to or interference with the wires, im(lurluu, currents or instruments on the lines of thiscompany.

S Gl{Al‘;l WIRES, Some of the Peculiarvities of Their Growth and Use. PRIVATE TH Telegraphing is done at wholesale as well as retail. Individuals, firms, and corporations who require large amounts of telegraphing, manage to get it done cither by private arrangements with the telegreph companies or by building their own lines. It is a very common thing for large corporations to build their own lines between their offices and their fac- tories. Thoy use their lines exclusively for their own business. But by far the greatest number of what is known as pri- vate wires are really owned by the telegraph companies and are leased by special contrac e longest private wire in uso is from New York to Chicago. In the contracts are stringent provisions that the wire shall be used only for the private busi- ness of the contracting’ party, under penalty of terminating the ‘contr Certain periods of the S:W..‘- night are fixed during which alone the wire may be used. Operators ave furnished by the telegriph company. ! The annual cost of leasing a private wire is from $20to $40 a mile. The variation in price arises from the fact that in some cases the wires are quadru- plexed, so that the same wire is used by different private persons, each sending messages at will without the knowledge or interference of the other, The facilities of the large telegraph companies for keeping lines in good o have gradually concentrated the business in their hands, so that by far the largest mileage of private wires, so-called, is in the hands of the Western Union Tele- graph company. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad company lease a number of pri- vate wires. In all cases the operators of the private lines leased from the compa- nies are under the control of the latter, although paid by the lessee. Most of the private lines, outside of the press lines, arc hired by bankers and brokers, who require them only a few hoursa day. At other hours the line be- come a public wire, or is leased to other private” persons. Some of the larger newspapers in the west have the use of private wires for a few hours at night, and thus avail themselves of the news of the great New York dailies the moment it is published. It is impossible to give with accuracy the number of miles of private wires in use, but it is gnificant compared with the mileage of wires operated by compa- nies. An official in the Western Union company said; ““There are only about 17,000 miles of really private wire in the United States. The Western Union company operates 425,000 miles of wire, and other companies operate about 20, 000. There are not over 600 miles of private wire in_the southern states.” There are three or four large estab- lishments in New York where all the materials for putting up telegraph lines may be purchased, but the business of keeping a lino in order requires so mich experience that it naturally drifts into the hands of the telegraph companics, who, having the men and materials on hand, can always make repairs more casily and economically than private in- il ROk this reaac “many private lines have boen absorbed by the tele- graph companies.
