the wires by the chiefs and officials
aided by such operators as could be se
cured. The force of keymen in New
York, while greatly reduced, was am
ple, said the officials, to care for the
more Important business. They as
serted that the strike had not suc
ceeded in entirely , crippling the com
panies.
The Associated Press restored its ser
vice in part ar.fc President Stone de-j
clared that it would be improved in a j
day or two. :
Superintendent A. H. May of the
Western Union in this city said that
he had been advised that the Chicago
situation was Improving and that the
company was securing more strike
breakers every day. "What took place
in San Francisco during the first strike
was a sample of what has taken place
throughout the entire service," the
superintendent declared. "We are still
supplying service. It cannot get worse
than it is at present and we are far
from out of business. Every day more
operators will be secured and the busi
ness gradually returned to normal con
ditions.
"The officials of the Western Union
are not saying much. We are busy
keeping up with our business and do
: not expect any serious Inconvenience
to the social or commercial life of the
country. I can speak positively only
of the western coast, however. We
are in good shape. Not one of our
! offices Is silent, and we are managing
to take care of a reduced business in.
a very satisfactory manner."
STRIKERS SEEK OTHER WORK
A number of the striking telegra
phers, who were formerly employed
at the main office of the Western Union
i company in Oakland, have already
adopted the suggestion made by' Presi
dent Small and have left the city to
seek other employment until the end
of the strike. Preparations are being
made by the local union to care for
those who remain, and yesterday a
number of meal tickets were printed,
which will be issued to members need
ing assistance.
Since the strike was called Monday
afternoon there has not been a single
instance of disorder. The members of
the union have made no attempt to in
terfere with the nonunion operators.
. and they have for the most part kept
away from the offices where theyvwere
formerly employed.
A meeting of the local union will be
held this morning at which strike com
mittees are to be appointed. President
McCandlish will name members of en
tertainment, reception, finance and ex
ecutive committees.
The following was the strike order
issued by Deputy President A. W. Copps
yesterday:
Oakland. Cal.. An*u«t 18. 1907.

This order includes all branch offices and that

BOTH SIDES CHEERFUL
Preparations Are Going Forward for
a Determined Struggle
Special by leased Wire to The CalL
NEW YORK, Aug. 13.— With both
sides in cheerful mood and both de
claring the victory already ( won, the
telegraph companies today made con
siderable headway in operating their
principal wires, and the union con
tinued active preparations for a pro
longed fight.
While official instructions were sent
by Wesley Russell, the union's na
tional secretary, from Chicago to defer
any further hostilities until Friday,
Percy Thomas, deputy national presi
dent in the east, was sending out an
official order to all points telling the
men to quit work at once.
In the afternoon Joseph Ahearn, pres
ident of the local union, ordered the
operators in the office of the Associated
Press to leave their keys. This order
applied to the day force* then at work,
as most of the operators on the night
force had quit early Monday night.
Conflicting statements as to the con
dition of the wires and the numbers
on strike continued to come from the
companies and the leaders of the union,
but so far as could be discovered by ac
tual investigation, conditions were
about the same tonight as last night.
In various other parts of the country
the strike was extended. In Boston,
which was regarded the least likely of
any place to yield to the call of tho
whistle, a walkout occurred in both
Western Union and Postal offices, al
though reports given out by the com
panies' officials in this city showed that
only a part of the Boston operators had
obeyed the call.
Both companies declared that they
had all the operators that they needed
and observation showed that as many
men and women as represented by them
were actually at work in the operating
rooms, but It was frankly admitted that
the service was considerably crippled
through the closina? of offices at the
other ends of the wires and by the
large accumulation of messages here.
Little effort was made to open any of
the branch* offices In the metropolitan
district, and all messages, except those
handled by regular stock exchange
wires, were accepted subject to delay.
Both sides continued to give out
statements, most of them dealing more
with optimistic generalities than with
facts. One attempt at arbitration was
made, but practically nothing came of
It. Michael J. Regan, an Industrial
mediator from the state department of
labor, came down from Albany and of
fered his services,' but they were po
litely declined by the companies. The-!
union officials informed him that they
stood ready to submit their grievances !
to any "sincere" mediator, provided the
companies would show the same spirit.
At both the Postal and Western Union
Regan was informed that they had no
differences between themselves and
their employes to be considered by him
or any one else and that he was wast
ing his time so. far as they were con
cerned.
Little attention was given by the
union leaders to the reports from Chi
cago that mediation had been refused
there. In fact, the strike leaders here
appeared to be carrying on the warfare
according to their own ideas, with very
little regard for Instructions from the
national officials.
-Picket lines were maintained around
the Western Union and Postal buildings
all day and at times large crowds of
strikers and their friends assembled
near 1»\ but the men. according to the
companies, instead of gaining recruits,
!ost them, for it was stated that about
50 men and women who went out on
Monday had returned durifig the day.
Several times the police were obliged
to disperse the crouds in City Hail
park, but nowhere was there any vio
lence. The strikers, as a rule, dis
cussed their affairs with smiling faces
a.n.l o€-c!are<l tint it was only a question
of j. few days more when t!iey woultl
march bacJi to their old places in tri
umph.
In the sam« spirit of confidence offi
cials of the com pan I ess say: "We have
all the rn-n we want; vro are very^
nearly up to. normal conditions, so far
M New York Is concerned, and it will
be only a few days when the strike
will be a thing of the past."
Women are playing a very active
part in the strike and were doing a
large part of the picket work today.
Groups of them were busy around
the companies' buildings all day and
many of them even remained until late
tonight to watch any of their fellow
craftsmen who were working on the
night shift. All day they bustled about
In City Hall park and pleaded earnestly
with both men and women operators
who showed signs of weakening.
Sometimes a man or woman operator
would be discovered hurrying toward
the building with the appearance of
going to work and he or she was sure
to be caught, and If possible led away.
At regular intervals one of the pickets
from each group reported at the union
headquarters In Pine street, where a
careful record was kept of all those
who had been seen returning to work
or who had been persuaded from going
back. Good naturedly the police chaffed
the women pickets, calling them "the
entertainment committee," and the
>whole thing appeared to be considered
as a joke on both sides.
So far as the companies are oon
cerned the possibility of the railroad
telegraphers being drawn into the
strike is one of the most serious points,
although representatives of the com
panies would not admit today that
there was much to be apprehended In
that direction.
Nevertheless this Is something the
union men are counting upon a great
deal, and statements were made official
ly today that it was altogether prob
able that the great body of these men
would join the commercial telegraphers
within the next week, provided a satis
factory settlement was not made in the
meantime.
Joseph F. Ahearn, president of the
New Tork union, had a great deal to
say today about the probabilities of the
strike speading in that direction- and
said that he had received a telegram
from S. J. Small, national president,
confirming his assertions.
"President Small has wired me to
day," said he, "that he has received un
qualified assurance from Mr. . Perham,
grand master of the order of railway
telegraphers, that their union will give
us its heartiest moral and. financial sup
port, and that its men will absolutely
refuse to handle any commercial mes
sages for the Western Union or Postal.
APPEAL TO ROOSEVELT
Chicago Board of Trade Asks Presi
dent to Intervene
Special by Leased Wire to The CalL
CHICAGO, Aug. 18. — An^ appeal to
President Roosevelt by the board of
trade, statements sent out by Wesley
Russell, general secretary of the na
tional union, to locals all over the
United States and Canada to be pre
pared to concur in a general strike,
and reports that the order of railway
telegraphers might be Involved In the
struggle — these were the chief develop
ments today In the telegraphers* strike
in Chicago.
The appeal to President Roosevelt by
the directors of the Chicago board of
trade was as follows:
"Theodore Roosevelt, President of
United States, Oyster Bay:
"The business of this great country,
which is suffering loss to the extent of
millions of dollars a day on account of
the deadlock between the telegraph
companies and their employes, de
mands an immediate settlement of
the differences at issue so that a na
tonal catastrophe may be averted.
"In this emergency we -look to the
chief executive of this country to take
a personal hand. ' .
"HIRAM N* SAGAR,
"President of the Board of Trade."
Something of a decisive nature is ex
pected from President Roosevelt tomor
row. Commissioner of Labor Neill
seemingly did little today In the way
of peace negotiations. His movements
suggested that he was merely investi
gating matters and perhaps was await
ing word from his chief in Oyster Bay.
An extension of the strike to every
part of the United States* and Canada
seems now a certainty. Efforts of the
peace mediators -were spurned today,
and the national executive board of the
telegraphers' union declared for war to
the bitter end. Already the order which
in effect means a general strike has
been flashed over the country by the
secretary, Wesley Russell. Out of
courtesy to President Small, who Is
hurrying toward Chicago, no formal
strike order will be issued until Thurs
day, but Its issuance is a mere for
mality.
The Associated Press now has enough
operators to resume its reports from
here.
STRIKE TO BE GENERAL'
Order Will .Be Issued on Small's Ar
rival in Chicago
Special by Leased Wire to The CalL
CHICAGO, Aug. 14. — No sooner had
the national executive board of the
telegraphers' union met this morning
than an order was framed and sent out
by Wesley Russell, which read as fol
lows:
"Strikes now on are authorised and
legal. Officers will spare no . effort to
take out every Western Union, Postal
and Associated Press operator. Teleg
raphers in other cities will refuse to
work with offices on strike." «^_
The executive board believed that the
foregoing message would have the
same effect as a general strike order.
Hardly had the first message been sent
over the wires than It was followed by
another, which read:
"President Small is en route to Chi
cago and will arrive tomorrow. \u25a0 It is
the judgment of the executive board
and of the general secretary, and they
will so recommend to the president
Immediately on his arrival, that a gen
eral strike be authorized at once. Pre
pare your forces."
When Russell appeared in the mass
meeting at Brand's hall In the after
noon and reported the action of the
executive board he was given an ova
tion by the strikers. "This is a bat
tle for the independence of the com
mercial telegraphers of the country,"
he said. "The general executive, board
has decided to make it general'
throughout the country. Out of cour
tesy to President Small we leave the
issuance of the formal order until to
morrow, when he will be here, but the
communication is so worded that It
will have the same effect anyway. We
are in this fight to win", and we may
as well fight fast -while we are fight-
