Seventy Union Men to
Return to Work on
Monday
After a struggle of nearly five weeks
the strike of the commercial teleg
raphers against the "Western Union and
Postal telegraph companies was set
tled yesterday on terms satisfactory
to both eides. According to the agree
ment reached by the officials of the
companies and the officers of the union,
TO of the men "evil! return to work Mon
day, and afttr all have returned any
grievances that may be rresenfd by
the telegraphers will be taken up for
adjustment «by the oScials of the two
companies. 1_ •".. \u25a0-
By a vote of 103 to 4 the members
of local Xo. 34 of the commercial teleg
raphers* union decided to accept the
pror»os^ compromise at their meeting
In Oakland yesterday morning.
The terms of the proposed agreement
were presented to the members, and,
r.fter a long discussion, were placed be
fore th - e union for a vote. But four
m.xmber? cf the organization voted to
trye-rt the terms offered by the com
panies and the result of the vote was
announced at or.cc to the officials of
the two companies. Immediately after
ward r.n agreement embodying the
»t«rms offered and accepted was 6lgrned
by Assistant Superintendent I. N. Mil
ler Jr. of the Western Union company
nnd National President Samuel P-
' .Small of .the. telegraphers.. .
According to the understanding, the
men will not return to work in a body,
but will go back a few at a time,, in
order to avoid confusion. The men i
'who are to return first will be named j
by the offlcers of the union, -who will !
also notify each succeeding group of 1
operators when to report for duty at j
the ofSces of the company. This will
continue until all the operators who
went out on strike have returned to
their keys. The women, girls and mar
ried men will be given preference by
v thelr union companions.
As soon as all the members of the
union have returned, the -matter of- an;
Increase in wages will be? taken up.
' The members of the union declare that
this amounts to a virtual recognition
of the organization by the officials of
the telegraph companies and they are
consequently satisSed with the settle
ment of the strike on the terms pro
posed.
Much of the work of settling the
strike was done by United States Labor
Commissioner Nelll, who came here
from Washington for the purpose of
effecting, if possible, a peaceful settle
ment of the trouble. After the return
of the labor commissioner to "Washing
ton Thursday his work was continued
by Ethelbert Stewart, a special agent
of the bureau of commerce and labor,
\u25a0who accommpanied the commissioner
to California. Stewart was the first to
ar.rour.ee to Assistant Superintendent
Miller today that tha strike was over.
KILLER'S STATEMENT
On being informed that the compro
mise had been accepted Assistant Su
perintendent Miller said:
The final terms of v the settlement
which have bee^i accepted by the men
were arranged by Labor Commissioner
Neill and Special Agent Stewart and by
the agreement reached the company Is
to re-employ 70 acceptable operators
within five day* and 66 more within 30
days. These men are to be re-employed
on personal end Individual application
only and the "Western Union company
reserve* the right to refuse to re
eniploy any operator who might have
been guilty of misconduct during the
strike.
"All the operator* re-employed are
to receive the same salaries as were
paid before the strike, but the company
Is not bound to give the men the same
positions or hours as were In force
before the strike was called. In other
words, operators who were formerly
on the day shift may be given a night
trick or what Is known as a 'split
trick,* meaning that an operator may
work several hours and then 'lay off,*
to return to work later and flnißh the
day's work.
"All questions as to salary will.be
taken up by the otf.clals of the company
and disposed of after all the men have
returned to work under the terms pre
scribed In President dowry's letter to
Labor Commissioner XeilL It Is also
understood that questions of salary
and'other grievances of the operators
which may come up for adjustment In
the future will be disposed of In the
same manner.** 053H58
Thomas Hanley of the executive
board of the local * union. . who was a
member of the committee that notified
the officials of the Postal telegraph
company that the terms of settlement
offered had been accepted by the mem
bers of the union, declared that the
same agreement which had been signed
by Miller of the Western Union and
Small for the telegraphers affected the
Postal company. He said:
~The terms of settlement. which have
been arranged by Labor Commissioner
Nelll and President Small, and which
were today agreed to by the officials of
the Western Union company, are also
binding upon the Postal : company, and
the employes of the latter company
wbe went on strike will return to work
under the B*m9 conditions. We are en
tirely satisfied with the settlement and
the officials' of the'eompany ' whom.we |
i visited today informed *v that they had
no fault to find with the agreement
reached between the company and the
union."
SXALL IS SATISFIED
' President Small gave out the follow
ing statement:
The terms of settlement are entirely satlsfac
: tory to the telegraphers. We bare been holding
: out for a week to tret the reinstatement of all
\u25a0te went on strike without prejudice. This we
secured. Tie matter of increased wasres.wlll be
: adinrted between committees tod the two com
j panics In tbe near future.
We were not fixating for the signing of a nnion
j contract. AH we desired was the acknowledg
ment of oar right to organize and the prlTilese
of adjusting jrrierances tbronsh committees of
employes. This we hare secured.
The settJeinent of the San Francisco strike has
far reaching significance. It will pat a quietus
on strikp talk throughout the country. Because
of President dowry's agreeing with Mr. NeUl In
New York and again In San Francisco thtt the
Western Union would meet committees \u25a0 of em
ployes and fnrther that fee would submit to ar
bltrstjon wh»a employes and officials could not
agree will make a strike of telegraphers Tery
improbable In the futcre. lorfact, I do not be
lieTe there will be another- strflte.
We i UaTe demonstrated onr strength by con
ducting a local strike for *a month without" a
single instance of violence or tstimtdatlon and
with bat few desertions #om- our ranks. During
all the time we hare been; on strike we Lave
paid strike benefit* and > were prepared to con
tinue them indefinitely. * This,' we bellere. has
conrtaced the company officials that lfls better
to maintain amicable relations -vrith their em
ployes.
The Tote of : the members present^at yester
day's meeting was 103 in favor of accepting and
four for rejecting the compromise proposition.'
It 1s a happy coincidence that the strike esd«-d
July 19. jast 24 years after "the date on which
the .biggest telegraphers' strike In history was
called.
I will remain In San" Francisco about a week
and assist the local officers Ia closing np finan
cial and other matters.
President Small- sent the following
telegram \u25a0to General Secretary Treas
urer "Wesley Russell- in Chicago yes
terday:
Communicate promptly with all local officers
and say the settlement of the . San Francisco
trouble Is entirely satisfactory to us" and urge
them to caution members against \u25a0 fnrther strike
talk. Cnder the terms of the New Tork Clowry-
Nefll agreement and the ? San Francisco agree
ment we can adjust any grievances that exist. I
will issue a statement to the members along
these lines when I return to Chicago. I have
confidence In the good Judgment of our members
\u25a0nd. appreciate tfcetr confidence In their general
officers.
Following Is the full text of the
agreement signed yesterday:
