LETTERS TO THE EPITOR.

The Telegraphers’ Strike.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE QUESTION, Examiner's Montreal Corres- pondent.)

(From the

Montreal, July 26.

The first week of ‘‘the greatest strike ever known” has passed, leaving parties in an almcst unchanged position, except that the American Rapid ‘Telegraph Company, whose lines are confined to a comparatively small district in the Eastern States, this morning compromised with the operators who have resumed work,

This’ weakening of the. renks cf the monopolists, as they are called, is by many looked upon as the beginning of the end, though the greatest corporation, the West- ern Union, seems as dete:mined 25 ever to hold out, The companies have been

AT THEIR WITS’ END

to transact even the greatly diminished business offered, and have utilized the ser- vices of every official and drawn all kinds of material from the country offices. to the big business centres. They claim that business offered is transacted with despaich, though “‘subject to delay” is invariably stamped on all message blanks.

THE COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATIONS

are beginning ioudly to complain, particu- larly grain and produce men, whose busi- ness is largely speculative, and depends on getting quotations from the leading mar- kets, particularly Chicago, with prompti- tude, and has been almost at a standstill for the past week. The Montreal and Toronto Boards of Trade have both held meetings and discussed the question, with- out coming to any practical soluiion, The former have submitted a case to a promi- nent Q C., with the object of seeing if any remedy can be found at law for the injury suffered by the members, who are con- stantly complaining of their messages not being delivered at all, or, in one or two in- stances, being so mutilated in transmission as to be unrecognizable. Many merchants are looking to

THE GOVERNMENT

to take some action to end the difficulty and the idea of their taking control of the telegraph service of the country, in the same manner a3 the postal seryice, is being much talked off, and may result in the matter being brought up at the next session of Parliament. The legislation permitting the absorption of the Montreal and Domin- ion Companies by that pocket corporation, the Great Northwestern is now looked upon as a grave mistake, but it is not plain that under the old regime the situation would have been any less embarrassing. As it is, the strike

CANNOT LAST FOR LONG,

the losses of the companies must be very great, though, of course, their bills for salaries will show a considerable decrease. The imen speak determinedly, and assert that they will not give in, and have a sys- tem of communication with each other, probably through the railway operators, who have not been called out, though some lines, whose officers have shown a disposi- tion to assist the telegraph companies, have been threatened. The hopes of the em- ployers are that once a few of the men weaken and go back, there will be a rush to secure situations and _ the leaders of the strike are devoting their energies tu keeping up the courage of their more timid brethren, with a view of pre- venting their back-sliding. Some fears were expressed that the strikers would cut or otherwise interfere with the wires, but only in one or two not very well authenti- cated instances has this occurred, and on the whole the conduct of the operators has been deserving of little or no con- demnation. In Quebec the strikers have been summoned under a civic by-law for leaving their employment without legal notice, and a decision, which it is antici- pated will not be in their favor, wil! be rendered on Saturday. c
