Government weighs telegraph wage gains in strike vote
Officials of the Commercial Telegraphers Union claim workers miss wage advances as rates rise. The Postmaster General notes owners do not benefit from higher rates while wages for wire-system employees under government control total 34 million dollars a year.

Solicitor General King seeks expedited consideration.
