Roosevelt Not in Controversy Over Telegraphers Strike
New York August 26 reports say President Roosevelt has taken no steps to settle the telegraphers strike and will not confer with Small or Clowry today. Girls sell Fair Play copies on Wall Street at two cents, with a special rate to financiers. Telegraphers claim 50 percent strength, but company officials say operations continue normally and there is nothing to arbitrate. Officials anticipate a possible hearing before Roosevelt at Oyster Bay if labor leaders pursue it. Western Union defends its position, noting the strike has not disrupted business and that nonunion men were used for certain jobs. A separate note reports hope abandoned for recovering four miners entombed five days in Blanchard Pa No. 14 tunnel.
