Postal Telegraph union strike picks up offers to quit
Five members of Branch 4, Commercial Telegraphers Union, received interviews offers from Superintendent Pillsbury of the Postal Telegraph Company proposing $200 monthly pay, free travel, and expenses to relocate to San Francisco. The group refused, reaffirming their stance to remain on strike until proper orders end. A Boston Chamber of Commerce contact reported sending a letter and telegram to a New York firm with telegram delayed at 10 am on stock exchange day, while the letter arrived on time. Western Union reportedly sent five strike-breakers to Nashville this week, signaling a possible swap to break the strike. The union warns future offers include reinstating the indefinite delay proviso to deter members.
