Aunvquenque, N. M., Doc. 15.—Tho strike of the dispaichers and opcrators on the Atlantic & Pacific nas not changed for the better, but it looks now more serious, in fact, for if scabs sre run in and the conductors and engineers and firemen and brakemen who arc orotherhood men ‘are usked to take orders from them they will positively refuse and join forces with the strikers. In that event tho strike will bo gencral, and a long oue for all, as the orders are well fixed finan- cially. The conference last night with General Superintendent Gabel, in which representa- tives of tho brotherhoods of locomotive en- gineers, locomotive firemen, conductors, rail- way brakemen and raflway trainmen partici- pated, resulted in Mr. Gabel telegraphing the whole mattor, including the schedulo submitted by the strikers to President Man- vel at Chicago, nsking until today noon to gve his answer. President Manvel tele- graphed for further time and the strikers ana their sympathizors gave until 7:30 to- night. They are now in conforence and their decisior will not be given out uatil tomor- row. In tae meantime all trafc on the At- lantic & Pacific1s at a standstill and the brotherhood operators at the Santa Fo depot have not been requasted to handle Atlantic & Pacific business. Makes an Explanation, Regarding the striko at the Deming end, on the Santa Fe road, in which Division Superintendent Mudge was consured for discharging brotherhood operators for refus- ing to do Southern Puacitic telegraphing during the presont strike, Mr. Mudge says, speaking of the Santa Fe road: “We have had an arrangement with the Southern Pa- dific for the past three years by which we do all their station work, telegraphing, etc., at Deming, they paying us for this service, When the Southern Pacific operators quit our operators also quit, so far as Southern Pacific work was concerned. I paid no attention to this until the Southern Pacific company sent operators there to do the work, and demanded that they beal- lowed to occupy the ofice. Our operators refused to work wn the same office with the Southern Pacific men. The Southern Pa- cific are Lalf owners of the depot, and of course were entitled to place men there to do their work when we failed todoit. I told our operators that tho Southern Pi—rio must be allowed to do their work #ad they walked out and left me to do the work for two days and uights. [ now havean Orderof Railway “Telographers operator there who investigated and decided thet the men were wrong. Serious Conscquenc s Threatened. St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 15.—A.

Resides the demanded withdrawal from the telegraphers' organization Ly officials of the roud, the Atlantic & Pacific telegraphers de- mand an increase in salary. “If we cannot settle our trouble with ths Southern Pacific and Atluntic & Pacific,” said a member of the executive committee of the order. “we will involve every railroad in the United States.” Acting Grand Chief Ramsey of the Order of Railway Telegraphers, who has chargo of the strikes on the Southorti Pacule and the Atlantic & Pacific, this afternoon telographod the strike committee of the Atlantic & Pacific to instruct the ‘men to return to work, providing the officials of the roud adhere 10 their first decision and coucsdo the right of the men to belonglo a labor organ- ization. T un iuterview with an’/Associated press representative Mr. Ramsey said that at today's meeting of the advisory council, the Brothertiood of Tralnmen and” the Brother- hood of Conductors, through theiv officers, bad concurred in the action he bad decided to take, aud it was the sepse of the assem bled railroad men that the ' strike was en- tirely justified. *I'biave ordered the man o waive thoques- tlon of wages,” he said, ‘poul I reach Albu- querque, where [ go tonight, but we cannot, and will uot, waive our ¥ight to join and bo members of the Order of Railway Teleg- raphers. As soon as I reach Albuguerque 1 will look over the ground and seo whether or not the question of an increase will be taken up.” Questioned a8 to the trouble on the South- ern Pacific, Mr. Ramsoy says the order will ROt yield oue iota of their rights, and that the weu would stay out until the battle was won if it took three years to ao it Situation in Qalifornia, SAN Fraxcisco, Cal,, Dee.

LIWO STORIES TOLD. What the Officers und Operators Say of the Telegraphers' Trouble, F'rom what the local telegraph operators say thesituation of the railroad telegraphers’ strike at Bl Paso and other points aloug the Pacific division of the Auantic & Pacific road is more serious than the wansgement of the Western Union aod other officiuls of telegraph companies will admit. Thes gentlemon claim that tho striko on the Atlantic & Pacific road has not affected other roads and that the Western Union has | done nothing or will ao nothing to eripple itself by wttemptiug to hundle the road's dis patches, or in furaishing operators to Lake the place of the strikers. The operstors tell a different story, while the local telegraph officiuls assert they ave in entire ignorance of what is Lranspiring. Buperinteudent Dickey 1s now in Deover L. Darby, Frank Ba-- on nccount of the trouble at El Prso, and Denver is the pluce from which \Westorn Union operators were ordered to go to Texus and take tho places of the strikers. But those who belongzed to the Order of Railway Telegraphers rofused point blunk to comply with tho order. This resulted in a few dis- charges and nonunion men were sent. In order to fill the vacancies in Donver ope tors from Omaha were dispatched to Colo- rado’s metropolis, and as a result there is a scarcity of operators in this city. The men c.aim—both the day and night forcos— that they are overworked and are dbliged to work overtime. Ong of them stated last night that It was impossible to get an honr off, when a few days ago the town was full of operators. All the “'subs” and oxtra men have been sentout, and unless there is an aajustment of the trouble before many days the strike of the ruilroad operators of one system may be- como general with both the train’ toleg- raphers ana the Western Ualon, us theve aro more union men thon the companics are aware of. PRINTERS GO OUTL. Philadelphia Composi Increase of Wazos, Puiaprrenta, Pa., Dee. 15.—The composi- tors workiug for four of tho moruing papers of thiis city, the Times, Record, Inguirer and North Awerican, made & demand at 7 o'clock this ovening that thoir wages be increased from 40 to 45 cents per 1,000 ems. Al of the compositors are members of the International Typographical union. The Times grauted the increase, as did also the North American, although the latter paper did so under protest. Tho Record, which 1s paying now on an average of 44 couts per 1,000 ems, agreed to pay 45 cents for all minion, in which tho body of tho paper is set. The scale pre- seuted to Mr. Singerly today really amounte toa reduction in the Kecord’s composing room pay roll, cutting down two display men's bills, ' from #5 to 0 a week to $4. Tho otjection of the Record was not to tho new scale, but to the proposed interference with the busi- ness of the oftice. Mr. Siugorly had an agreement with the men that the strike would not occur until tomorrow at 3 o’clock, if at all, and bad made no preparations for & lockout, At 6 o'clock when 1t was aunounced that tho men were waiting for orders M Singerly ordered the wen out and took pose: sion of the composing room. By 8 o'clock the Record nad engaged thirty-four wen, about half of the number usually at wori in tho oftico. At tho Inquirer ofifea, after several confor- cnces between Proprietor Jumes Elverson wnd & committee reprosenting the strikers, the men at 8:30 o'clock agreed to continuo work at the old rate pending'a settiement of the difliculty. fnterstate Mininz Convention.
