Order o Railway Telegraphers Have a Grievance. Rumors of a strike on the Southern are afloat, but locally, they cannot be verified.,. The morning papers, today contained, a statement to the effect that' ;a "strike wa si mminent th at woul d affect the, engineers telegraph opera tors, 'conductors a'hd train men. Capt. W. B. Ryder; superintendent of the Charlctt&ydi'vig'fpni was- asked concern ing the report; " Said - he ."I can' not say anything about itw --I . only ''know that some very large stories, get' pub lished in the papers." ; AT prominent conductor was asked if -there Vas 'any thing in it. He said: "".aiever- heard anything about it before tjis" morning, and I do not believe there is anything in it." The trouble, if any, it seems, began with the Order of Railway Tel egraphers. The telegraphers have had a grievance since the road was put in the hands of a receiver. The grievance is that they have been forced to work under the 10 per cent cut that was made along the line of employes several-years ago; that conductors, engi neers, firemen and trainmen have had the former wages restored while the telegraphers rate remains as under the cut, . This, they say, is not in accord ance, with certain agreements they made at the. time they accepted the cut rates. As to the grievances of the other orders the telegraphers say they know nothing. The opinion is that conductors, engineers and trainmen will insist, first,- that salaries to tele graphers be paid the same as before the 10 per cent cut. A circular, it seems, was issued ask ing the operators if they wanted to go into the strike or not, each operator receiving such circular to answer "strike" or "no strike." This circular got out, and then with it the impres sion that the strike was to be univer sal on the road.; The railroads have never ; approved of the O. - R.
