It would bo bad for the public, bad for the strikers, nnd bad for the tele graph companies. In such an event tnera would be much bitterness on both sides. Bad feling would : be avoided if the strike were settled now by an agreement between the companies and the operators. There fore, I am willing to do anything in my powci to bring about peace."
