SATURDAY'S MOVEMENTS, Civersyary, July 21.—There is noma terial change in the telegraph sitnation. The press is cared for in good shape and business gencrally ssems to be dispatehod promptly. The accessions to the force since noon have not been suflicient to | give adequate relicf, and the men arc | working more than the usual number of | hours, man: giving them all possible care by procuring good meals in the ope- rating room and rishing lodgings neas by, to save time. The striking operatc continue confident, and are making {:mxumcnu for a mass meeting at Cleve- and. Cuicaco, July 21.—Ulrich Hall was thronged all day and evening yesterday with enthusiastic striking operators, who continued to re ¢ hope and comfort from the Western Union office in various ways. All accounts received concurred in stating that the work and business of the office was in very bad shape. Very large and cnthusiastic meetings were held in the forenoon and evening, at which President Morris presided. t the evening meeting there were encouraging speeches made by Messrs. E. Lomoney, Dr. Collister, President Morris and others. McConnelly, not an operator, made a congratulatory speech, and urged them to persevere. ‘‘Stand up for your rights,” he said, “and they must come and see you.” Mr Rowe, of the committee appointed to visit the bricklayers' meeting, announced that they had called there and the first_ques- tion asked them was, ‘‘How much do you want?” The bricklayers had said they would help the telegraphers in every way possible. Mr. B. A. Queal announced that Mrs. D. Anderson, wife of the assis- tant general manager had sent a dispatch to the strikers sending her compliments, and hoping the operators would get uli they wanted. This was greeted with deafening 2pplause. The speaker then gave some ludicious mistakes made by the scab operators dur- ing the day, which were received with shouts of laughter. He predicted the speedy and triumphant end of the strike. They had sympathy from all classes of peopler. The company was hiring men to sit at the desks and act as stool pig eons, but they had trouble in finding men even to do that. He alluded to the cnor- mous dividends paid to the stockholders of the Western Union, and said they would be glad in less than one week to beg an audience of the men whom they to-day refused to see. Prosident Morris read a note from his brother who had talked with an assistant chief operator in the Western Union. The operator said they were simply paralyzed. Every hook was full. A stranger ‘might think they had plenty of operators, but those they had were no good. Mr. Fleming, of the striking linemen, spoke of the importance of their branch of the business, and their own strike. They asked for an increase of five per cent. all around of ten hours a day, and double pay for night work and Sunday. The meeting adjourned at a late hour with much enthusiasm. In regard te the report that the Gold and Stock men on the Board of Trade were to be ordered to quit work by the Brotherhood, President Manns said that was a matter with which they had noth- ing to do. All members of the Buaother- hood had already qnit work, and when an operator became a member, by his obligation he also became @ striker. There were very few in the cit; If the gold and stock men struck it would not have very much effect on business though il might oceasion a great deal of bother to brokers to lose the services of their tickers. He did not think the strike would be general all over the country although be was not sureas to that. Mr. Moris said about 40 new members had joined the Brother- hood during the day. Many telegrams were received from’ various quarter all assuring them of the fidelity of the men and general paralysis of business through- out the country, The following area couple of speci- mens of the many received : 8. Louis, Mo., July 20, MoRgis : St. Louis solid, newspaper reports to the contrary notwithstanding. ~ We expect to stand by Chicago till Tilden is elected. Signed, SHAW. THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO, Cnicaco, July 21.—Mr, McCullough, superintendent of the Baltimore & Ohio company’s office here, says: ‘‘We are ust about as we were. Three new men ve come in, which, with the twelve la- | dies who did not g,”i" with the strikers, gives me five in this office, and you can easily see that with such a force ‘there is not much inconvenience. I understand l.hvly have not a man left in Louisvillo and St. Louis. They have about the same number of men left in the office at New York, Philadelphia, Washington and Baltimore as I have here.” The day force of messenger boys in the employ of the Western Union company | left the office in a body shortly after 1 o'clock this afternoon, thus emulating the striking operate Public interest manifested in the str'ke of the telegraphers is pronounced in this city and extends to a class of people who are affected very remotely at the best by | w | meditated.

The managemont_of | the Western Union announces its ability | to fill the places caused by these defec- tions shortly. In addition the company officials of the Western Union have dis- | played no discouragment and assert their | working force s improving [daily, and that all business is being dispatched rapidly.

President Dunham, of the Chic | board of trade states he is in receipt of a | request from members of the Milwaukee | hamber of commerce to call a meetr of the Chicago board to consider the sit- | | ation growing out of the telegraphic | strike. In reference to this request, and | also an expressed desire of members of | the Chicago board, Mr. Dunham says a special meeting of the board will probably be called Monday or Tuesday, in case no change occurs in the situation, The Mutual Union and Baltimore and Ohio telegraph companies are making no attempt to do business, and the office of the latter company was closed during the greater portion of the day. The striking telegraph operators held a meeting, at which between seven and eight hundred were present. The meet- ing was addressed by members of other local unions and proposals were extended of financial aid if needed, Two hundred new members were admitted, which in- cludes clerks in the delivery departments of the Western Union. A number of messages were read from Detroit, Buffa- lo, New York and other cities, outlining | the situation at these points.

New York, July 2L—The situation [in the Western Union oflice is apparently unchanged. Over 200 were at work, and none seomed to be idl eral superintendent said there were onl a fow cases in which_any delay in bt ness was reported. It was stated posi tively there was not a_ single dummy in the room, Seventy-five young women were there this morning waiting to be zesmll. Only competent ones were en- ged. tameeting of telegraphers to-day, ams were received from various parts of the conntry from labor organiza- tions expressing _sympathy with the strikers, and offering financial assistance, Addresses were made by several persons. The strikers will go on an_excursion to Long Branch to-morrow on the Ply- mouth Rock and to hold another meeting on_their return to the city. The feeling that the Western Uuion company cannot long hold out against the strikers lis very confident. To-day forty-three new members were initiated into the Brotherhood, At the Western Union oftice it is said there is still a full force at work, and that messages are sent to all points without delay. It was thought that the American® district messenger | boys would strike to-day, and about fifty | from some of the up-town offices endeay- ored to induce others te quit work. The movement was not general, and when | the company offered to pay the boys ten {cents an_ hour for extra work in addition | [to their regular salary of four and five | dollars a week, and two and a half cents a message, they were satisfied to remain at work. ALL OF ONE MIND, WasHiNGTon, July 21.—The stri telegraph oporators have their headquar- ters at the National hotel, where the landlord has assigned them rooms free of | charge. At a meeting of the Brother- hood to-night a number new members were taken, The membership of the local organization now numbers eighty- nine. Cash gontributions amounting to several hundred dollars are offered the strikers each day, but always refused for the present, The following action was taken to-day by non-members of the Brotherhood, now at work in the West- ern Union office here: “We, a majority of the operators who have remained at work here, have signed a paper pledging ourselves to withdraw our services from the Western Union as stated duringthe coming weck, unless the executive committee of said compan, shows a disposition to negotiate ith operators with a view to amicable ad- justment of the pending difficulties, Al- though non-union men, we are all heart- ily in sympathy with the moveient in- augurated by the Brotherhood, The Brotherhood here requested assemblies in other cities to take such steps as will lead | non-union men now at work to take simi- | lar action,” The gen” | y [ o quotations on tlw’(lny at each office, and their business |ing, and two more were detailed t the is being handled efficiently. AT OTHER POINTS, Provipesce, R, 1., July 21.—Six of the operators employed by the Western Union ef this city struck to-day, leaving the force at work insufficignt to conduct business. Throe of the operators, which composes neatly the entire force of the American Rapid of this city, also struck this noon. CLeveLaxn, July 21.-—-The Western Union force is somewhat increased to-day. Three operators, who camo here to-day | to work for the Western Union, joined the strikers. The meeting of the strikers this afternoon was addressed by James Lawrence, democratic candidate” for at- | torney general of Ohio. h ruis, July 21, The situation at the telegraph oftice here to-day shows im- provement.

The striking op- erators continue confident and are mak- ing arrangement for a mass meeting at Cleveland. The lines are working with reduced force in_order to give the men sufficient rest. The usual market reports from Chicago were not received to-day. INCIDENTS OF THE STRUGGLE. IN CINCINNATI. CincrsNarr, July 22.—The strikers held meetings at their hall on Court street during the day. It seems that their organization is not a separate one, but that the Telegraph Brotherhood of the United States constitute district 45 of the Knights of Labor. District 45, i is claimed, has 17,000 members. When its own 3 austed then the other districts, with say two million mem- berf are required to pay a fi ment for the support of the striking dis- ho press committee of tho strikers called at The Commercial Gazette office last night, and seemed to be as confident as ever of success, They said that they expectod. tho company o hold out two weeks at most. In four, perhaps five, days it would be worse off than now, as the few good men obtainable would be physically exhausted, some of them at prosent working sixteen and eighteen hours out of twenty-four. “But,” it was asked, “in time can not the company recruit its force up to an efticient standard?” “They can get full service,” answered a member of the committee, ‘“‘when we 2o back, and not before. The operators do not exist, and it takes from two to three years to make one.” “Why did not the Brotherhood allow the B. & O, men to remain at work, and to divert business from the Western Un- jon and provide temporary work for a portion of the strikers, which, it hasbeen would have been awise move!” ““Because we claim to be Western Un- ion men, and they claim to be Baltimore & Ohio men, and both expect to go to work for the companies again, and be as loyal as in the past. Why, during the | Garfield excitement, day men worked at | night and night men by day, and snatched the sandwiches and coffee furnished by | the company as best we could—the samo company that gives these hams’ full din- | ners, puts them up at hotels and pays | them 84 per day. Said another committee man: *‘F and forty-five dollar men have been offered 80 and $85, to be made perina nent, if they would leave us, but not one has flinched anywhere in the country. Some of them know, however, that the company did not keep one promise of the kind made in 1870, but soon reduced the ‘plugs’ who rushed in to help them out to what they were worth, and that was in some cases nothing.” The member of the press committee who was speaking said he had a living ex- perience of this policy. He went to their aid as an expert in 1870, was given $125 per month, and had since been com- pelled to work for $70. There is little question that both sides are confident, and that it will take some time to bring abouta compromise, if such isto be reached. It is equally certain that the strikers would have had a more universal public uylnlmthy if they had given the t:tlmfi):ny a longer time to con- sider their claims, which ought to bear examination by the country.

One pf the eperators said, in response to queations of the reporter, ‘“There may be one-half the wsual number of men and women usually cmployed now in the room, but a large proportion of those ave dummies, and the office is completely de- woralized. Many of the men now at the desk never sent a message in_their live and eould not reeeive one if they were paid fifty dollars forso doing. There are not tweuty good operators in the room, and these are officers of the company or managers of sub-stations throughout the city. They ave competent to send mes- sages if there are good men at the other end of the line to receive the message.” Another operator said: *‘There are probably 2560 desks occupied, but of those present in the room fully 160 are inferior to good recond class operators, The company may claim that they have half a force at work, but they are not do- ing one-half of the regular business, by any means, and they are further ham- pered by the bad managemont of lines in other cities. The commercial news de- partment is utterly demoralized. One of the young women who were on duty at one of the receiving windows, said, I presume the rush here this | | up town offices.” Another gentleman after handing in a message said to a re- porter: “That makes five messages which X havg Ikl infor the gume per- sons in Nashvide since 4 o'clock yester- day afternoon, and we have not receive a reply to any ona of them.

One man who had been in the business since 1868, and had been receiving §76 a month from the Western Union company, said: ‘“‘This strike is not a demand for exhorbitant wages, as the company would have the public believe, but a re- quest for a part of the money which has been taken away from us by constant reductions during the last ten years.

The better the operator, the more severe the strain; for it is a point of pride to be able to receive as fast as the man at the other end of the wire can send. Frequently I am called upon to listen to one hundred messages an_hour, writing them off as they are ticked of from the instrument in front of me. The wear and tear upon the nerves is terrible, and no man who has not been in the business can understand it.” SABBATH DOINGS, OUTLOOK IN NEW YORK.

Officials of the telephone company say some unknownpersons have been cutting their wires in the test boxes and cupolas at five different places in the city. An aggregate of about fifty wires were sev- ored. Large numbers of tags were changed, so that repairers and linemen will be greatly hampered in mending the trouble, All wires cut were private lines, so that the fact was not at once brought to the company’s knowledgo.

A CO-OPERATIVE COMPANY, BostoN, July 22.—At a meeting of the strikers to-day the proposed estabfish- ment of a co-operative telegraph company was discussed very favorably, the capital stock to be $20,000,000 in untransferra- ble shares of 85 each; three-quarters of the entire capital stock must be held by operators and members of labor organiza- tions.
