A Curnuraliun“wnnunt a Sonl Nor Honor Enongh to Keep Its Word, Some Interesting Testimony Gtiven | Before the Senate Labor Committee. The Wire Cutting War Continues— Threatened Suit for Damages —The Workers' Convention, Iron THE WAR ON WIRES, New Yok, August 14.—The strike of the telegraphers presents no new features to-day. Somerville, of the Western Union company, said 126 wires of the 1d and Stock Telegraph company, which supply most of the circuits of brokers’ oftices down town,and which are carried around Church and Rector streets in seven cables suspended under the ele- vated railroad girders, were all cut last night and in such a way that the wires cannot be connected again at the point where severed, Temporary connections have been made of the lines and the com- pany hope to be able to repair the bal- ance to-day. A dispatch received by the company to-day state the New Orleans telegraphers were working and that two strikers had returned to the keys in Meridian, Miss. The Mutual Union wires were cut in Harlem and Manhattan- ville to the number of a dozen or more. A few wires were cut near Newark and others near Fleetwood. A rigger for the Western Union company was assaulted by two striking linemen ~ to-day when he was leaving the company's building. The offenders were arrested and ta to court where they were held for intimi- dation, So far as could be learned up to noon to-day none of the line cutters had been arrested. THE SENATE INVESTIGATION. The United States senate sub-commit- tee on labor and education reassembled to-day. John T. McClelland, member of the Brotherhood of Telegraphers, said the estimated cost of a telegraph line | 1,500 miles long would be The | telegraph operators were ung | men, and usually came from the better classes of sociely. The morals of the men had been greatly improved the pi ten years, and this was one of the results of organization. The highest paid opers tors did not receive emough to enable | them to lay aside anything for old In 1870 the Western Union required ry man coming into its employ to take an | oath he would not ally himself with any |Y trade or_lgbor organization. Day G| tors worked from 8 a. m. to 8 p. m., and | had little time to devote to amusement, | Thomas O'Reilly, a telegraph operator | of twelve years experience, has had charge of the Wheatstone instruments in the Western Union oftice. He had been an operator in that system for ten years in Scotland. He came here about a year ago. The Western Union gave them $20 a_month as a retaining. fee until the ‘Wheatstone instruments should arrive. Promises were repeatedly made that the ‘Wheatstone men should receive as much s first-class Morse operators. On the 28th of last February it was announced the Wheatstone system would begin ope- ration, and the operators were told their salaries would be $50 a month. The operators on the other side were better paid. They had three weeks' ation each year with salary, and during sick- ness received half pay. After being a certain number of years in the service and the record being good, an operator receives a_pension for life, sometimes at | full pay when he becomes superanuated, John B. Taltavolt, operator, employed by the Associated Press, confirmed the testimony of the previous witnesses in regard to the striki H. W. Orr, of Philadelphia, a member of the Brotherhood of Telegraphers, said the salaries paid operators in Philadel- ia ranged from $30 to $80 per month, objects of the Brotherhood {,h company on the co-operative system, by which opera- tors should own their own lines, and thus be enabled to protect themselves against their employers. The evidence of the hostility of the Western Unior company towards its employes was the svstematic policy of reducing the salazies of its operators during the past ten years, Witness also testified to the pracice of the Western Union company in black- listing men found organizing a union or association of operators. Eugene J. 0'Connor, of Boston, chair- man of theexecutive boardof the Brother- hood of Telegraphers, gave statistics of the growth of the Western Union com- pany since 1866, Since the beginning of the strike the membershipof the brother- hood nearly doubled and now numbered about 20,000, One-fifth of the operators of the country were women, and about 500 of these had joined the strikers, There were very few first-class operators among them, as their strength was not equal to the work required to attain such proficiency. THE IRON WORKERS, PuirapeLruia, August 14.—The after- noon session of Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers' convention was taken up entirely with reading the report of the committee on constitution and general laws, of which T. J. Mil gan, of Ironton, Ohio, is chairma) ev- eral important matters relating to changes in existing laws of the associa- tion were held und consideration, Each branch of business was acted upon by the convention separately, and about the first point that came up was whether the iron men should withdraw from the | steel workers and organize by them- | selves, - The proposition was negatived | by a unanimous vote. A motion to fix| the scale of wages next June for four | years, instead of for one, did not prevail "he proposition of withdrawal from the | steel workers havin iled to receive| support, the title of the associa- tion is to remain as hitherto. | The plan to make each sub- lodge support its own men when they are | on a strike also lacked support. The | paramount object of the association is union and concentration. An attempt to separate the executive functions of the | body and divide them into smaller por tions would fall short of the prime ob- jects for which the Amalgamated Associ- ation was organized and which all trade unions have ultimately in view. The proposition was therefore a dead letter. There is to bean effort made to have mills lie idle for sixty days during July and August each year, or to incorporate this project into the standing laws of the as sociation for their unitedinterests.

The afternoon scssion was pro- | tracted to a late hour, and when adjourn- | ment was reached, the convention had not finished the report and will resume | consideration of it to-morrow morning. Among the important subjects to be |« brought up is the question of discontinu- | ing strike benefits, nother plan to be | be acted upon is that of appointing a sommittee of members to make quarterly reports on the situation and condition of | the iron trade. President Jarrett, speak- | ing of the plan to require ench sub-lodge | to support its own strikers, said the rules of the association in this respect would | be national, governing the entire organiz- ation, In connection with the report that some men out at Bethlehem had the terminus of mise ordinance makin the road in this city Polk street, and it was also dotermined to enter upon im- mediate erection of a depot buildings to cost &500,000, covering the block bound Hind and Fourth avenues and Polk aylor streets.g - — THE WALL STREET FLURRY.

NEw York, August 14.—The Western Union Telegraph company sent a letter to Mayor Kdson, setting forth the losses sustained by them by the cutting of their wires and notifying him they will bring suit against the city for recovery of dam- ages. Tho mayor consulted with the superintindent of police as to measures to prevent further cutting of wires: The superintendent informs the mayor special instructions were given the captains of the several precincts of the city and no effort will be spared to detect and arr all parties tampering with the wires.

The day was occupied in hearing arguments on’ this question. The matter was taken under advisement by the arbitrator, who will announce his decision at Boston, Monday next, when another meeting ot the exceutive com- mittee will be held to consider the ques- tion of complete rearrangement of per- centages.

W. Fitzgeiald, of Wash- ington, D. C., which was marked pension papers, pertaining to claim, *C. 0, D 10.55." Supposing his claim was allowed, Wilshire paid the express charges, but found only a paper strip asking for further information cone ing his case. In the meantimo it is learned his claim was disallowed July 18th.

Washakie.—It ‘was determined last night to move our camp this morning a few miles, to where there would be more abundant grazing for the horses and mules, Accordingly, at 6:30 every one was in the saddle and started up the valley on the right bank of Wind river. Owing to the rain yes- torday the trail was in splendid condition for comfort and marching. Thesun was obscured by clouds, with the temperature below 50" Fahrenheit all day. At the end of an hour’s travel over hils and rolling land the Wind river was reached at a point where it passes through gor- geous masses of rocks, known as Red Buttes. The first crossing was made by fording m a diagonal direction up the stroam where the water was 8o rapid in its flow that one's neighbor seemed to be moving up the river with the speed of a running horse. Soon, by a short ford, the river wasrecrossedandattheend ofanother mile the western boundary of the Sho- shone reservation was reached. From this point our travel was a very,interests ing but not so diflicult journey, over a series of lofty dividoes to eseape the pre- cipitous banks and small streams Howing from the mountains into the ri In descending one of these it was necessary to dismount and lead the horses. On the highest divide we halted to take in the view, covering scores of miles up and down the river with the snow covered penks of the Shoshone mountains in front of us and those of the Wind River mountains at our backs, Here we took our last look at the great land mark, Crow Heart butte, thirty miles away, which had been in v since leaving Fort Washakie. **Wallowing Butffalo,” one of our Arapahoo guides, tells us that it got its name aff at battle be- tween the Shoshones and Crows and was celebrated by burning the hearts of dead Crows on the summit of the butte. After a ride of twelve miles we reached the banks of some beautiful lakes which are called after Capt. Torrys, formerly an officer of the army, but now owning large cattle herds on the range near by. The lakes are said to abound in large trout, and we expect to spend to-morrow fishing, Game 1s not very abundant in this neighborhood, but our hunters brought in two antelope yesterday, and a few mountain grouse were killed on this march to-day. Shoshone Dick, a white member of the tribe, who was captured probably. from an emigrant train when so young as to have lost all’ recollection of the event, is one of our Indian party. He has gone oft' to look for signs of game and we hope for a good report from him, Our camys 18 named *‘Camp Stager,” in honor of Guneral Anson Stager, of Chicago, o ——— STORM AT AND ISLAND, A Deluge of Rain and Fires by Lightning.
