Strike Looms as Western Union Operators Walk Out
The Western Union telegraph workers in Atlanta and nationwide face a looming strike as about 160 employees, split into shifts, abstain from work.

Chief statements note ongoing dispatches from Nashville to New Orleans and that no authorized strike has been declared.
