Sanctions Strike Order Tests Telegraphers Press Labor Rift
President Small of the Commercial Telegraphers' Union issued a general strike order demanding immediate work stoppage where union contracts are unsigned. Labor leaders made no progress toward arbitration. Small met with Gompers and Labor Commissioner Neil but indicated no talks on arbitration. Both telegraph companies maintained strong service with new recruits and few desertions. In New York and the East, response was limited as many strikers had already quit, while Western Union and Postal reports claimed unaffected operations and smoother business. Some eastern workers who left earlier returned after the order.
