STRIKERS ORDERLY
riiHr Vnion Was Ignored Men, An
gered ly Companies' Attitude, Aet
fd On Tliler Own Initiative Oper
ators In All 1'iUU of the Country
Walk Oat.
Now York City, Aug. 15. Tho
strike of telegraphers which started
lurt Friday In Los Angles against the
western Union Company, and has
br.en gradually extending since,
reached this city, and extended prac
tically all over the country
The cable operators la the two coin
pa tiles went out with the strikers,
utid late at night It seemed prob
able that there might be still more
trouble with tho cables. A reporter
learned from one of the strike load
e'i that thero had Just been received
from Canso, Nova Scotia, the center
of the cable operators, a promise that
not a single message handled on land
bv the Western Union and the Postal
would be forwarded by cable until
tin- strike was settled. The Cunso
men form 90 per cent, of the cable
operators' union.
In spite of their vote of Sunday
afiernoon to defer action until Fri
day In the hope meantime that the
strike In the West would be arbitrat
ed, the operators of both the West
ern Union and the Postal Telegraph
Companies went out almost In a
br.dy, the Western Union men march
ing out shortly after 1 o'clock and
tlit Postal employes two and a half
hours later. At night these were
Joined by The Associated Press oper
ators. Tho strike was unexpected not
only by the companies, but by the
officials of the union and either
through tho determination of the
more hot-headod of the younger
members of the union or because of
some petty incidents of the day, tem
pers already stretched nearly to the
breaking point gave way and the men
quit.
The signal was given In the gen
eral oillces of the companies by
whistle. Every one who Intended
to go out dropped his work on the
spot, siezed his or her hat and coat
and made for the dosr. There was no
disorder of any sort. Some of the
girls employed In the offices took it
aa a joke, but the older men regard
ed It far more seriously. These
went out with reluctance.
Officers of the WesUrn Union and
Postal Telegraph companies In New
York said thet despite the fact that
the strike of the telegraphers had
spread In twenty-four hours the busi
ness of keeping the wires open at
affected points had progressed so far
as to make the accepUnoe of the
usual amount of business possible.
Between New York, Chicago and
points West and South there was con
stant communication, these officials
said, and In all the mate offices aff
ected by the strike sufficient forces of
telegraphers had been recruited to
prevent anything like a Ueup.
