JirSINESS tl , BADLY CRIPPLED
Boara of TraS aaa others Are ITaM
Hit.
Local grain men. both cash trsders snd
option brokers, complain that the telegraph
ers' strike Is demoralising their business.
Their operators hav not gone out. but
trade suffers from the pressure of the
Strike, nevertheless.
The grain trade has never been Inde
pendent of the Tostal and Western Union
systems, even" though It uses Innumerable
private wires. The delay In transmuting
the messages of that part of the tradi
which has to depend entirely on Western
Union and Postal wires Is responsible for
the business lethargy. If one has no prl
. Vete wlrs, tha grain men say, he ta not
sure of getting his message out of the city
In leas than two hours.
. Each of the telegraph companies has
maintained an office In tha Board of Trade
building for the exclusive use of the grain
trade, but alnee tha strike began these
offices have been , closed. Messages have
to be taken to the central office and there
Can be no assurance of promptness In their
transmission.,
' Bo the concerns without wires of their
own are not doing much business. The big
cash compantea are working their own
wlrea Into Chicago, but are greatly ham
pered by their inability to get messages
Into the country promptly. They are hold
ing communications with country stations
as best they wn by means of long dis
tance telephone.
Option business Is light. All the commis
sion houses In Omaha have wires work
ing Into Chicago and get the quotations
from the Chicago pit promptly, for the
Chicago Board ot Trade has ji?ld:d to
tha union's demands, and the transmitter
In the pit is allowed t stay at his post
All the same, the option business is suf
fering severely. No man knows what the
delayed messages at the ' Western Union
and Postal effleea will bring forth, and
everyone Is cautious about playing the
markets.
The unsettled condition of the msrket 1i
shown by the following message, which
la typical of the messages sent out by
Chicago commission houses ' te their
Omaha representatives:
"We expect fb maintain our wire service
right along, but should soma unexpected
turn Interfere we must urre upon you In
advance the necessity of keeping open
trades well protected ahead f the mar
ket or else leave the closing of them to
our best Judgment, should funds In hand
be exhausted."
Next to the grain men, perhaps the
wholesale fruit deslers are having the
most trouble. Their merchandise Is perish
able, and a delay of an hour or two in
sending a messsgs mny prove disastrous
to them, as It may .mean a delay of a
day or two In getting a shipment.
Jobbing houses In all lines report con
alderable Inconvenience, but do not figure
they are suffering much actual loss on
account of the strike.
L. W. Quick, general secretary and treas
urer of the Order of Railway Telegraph,
ers, were hailed with loud applause when
read aloud at' strike headquartere. Mr.
Russell wired from Chicago:
"Stand firm and under no circumstances
return to work unttl onlf-lal! sanctioned,
rreeldent Small and the central executive
board will meet here Eaturriar nlaht. All
t)lnta here solid a a rock. Menv union
fontracta are belna sisrned by preen assn
olatlona and brokers, t'hlraao Is absolutely
Hoard un. No pirlke-breakers lisve arrived
We have the nettle won."
Mr. Quick wired from St. Louia:
"All Hallway Telecraphers of America:
ro not bundle Western I'nlon bualnee.
We are barkins; the (Antral Telegraphers'
union of America financially and are alv
1ns; them our support. This Is a critical
point In the history of both organisations.
Spread this lo every railroad station you
pnaalhlv can."
J.- N. Crawford, manager of the .West
ern Union's wholesale district branch, In
the Pavld Cole Creamery company's build
ing, has Joined the strikers and the three
operators who were under him have
walked out.

PACKERS AND COMMISSION MEN
South. Omaha Live Stock Interests
- reel Effect of Strike. '
Consultation with the varloua packsra
Monday morning showed that local business
was materially affected bytthe telegraphic
strike. Wherever the packers have de
pended on the Western Union for sending
out quotations or for receiving or giving
orders among the local towns within the
radius of Omaha Influence much delay and
uncertainty la experienced. The Western
Union haa not refused to take telegrams,
but It doea not insure prompt delivery of
the messages. The managers of Swife &
Company, Armour A Co. and Cudahy Pack
ing company, In which companies the local
business Is extensive, all make the eame
complaint of the delay. All companies are
depandlng upon the telephone systems. The
packer have private wires between their
principal plants and the operators on these
lines have presented no complaint. Aa a
rule the ' private operators receive better
wages than the public lines offer. With
their private systems of lines and their
own operators the packers have little to
fear unless depredations, such aa cutting
the wires, are resorted to by the strikers.
The South Omaha commission men will
be more handicapped than the packers; for
their business Is nearly all local in Its
nature.

Already Ws,
Messages from Wesiey ItusselC general
secretary and treasurer of the Commer
cial Telegraphers' union of America, and
conferences during the day with the lead
ers of the union, but declared at r.'glit
that the situation had not materially
changed alnee bis arrival.
Both of the companlea claimed today
to be In better shape than at any time
since the commencement of the strike.
The Western Union claimed that it had
handled all of Its business with but slight
delay, and late In the afternoon Super
intendent Cook declared that all bualness
had been cleared up and that he had sent
a number of men 'home because there was
not work enough for them to do.
Superintendent Capen of the Postal said
ttoat business in his office was moving In
a satisfactory manner and declared they
had hired ten new men during the day,
some of them being men who walked out
last week.
Both companies were troubled during
the day by the pulling of "plugs" by op
eratora at various points along . the line.
Officials of both companies declared that
arrests would be made for tills offense
whenever possible.
Early View of Situation.
The Western Union announced early 1
tlay that It had more than 2C0 men at work
r.r.d was able to care tor business In fair
shape. The Postal claimed to have about
100 men and also asserted that the
delay In handling messages was not great.
Roth companies, however, had posted In
conspicuous places the notices that mes
sages would be only accepted subject te
delay In transmission.
A number of men were Imported last
night by the Western Union and all of
them went to work today. The officers
of the union claimed that the companies
hed about one-third of the number of
work that they claimed and declared that
many of them were telegraph students who
are not yet espable of doing good work.

"I will receive no deputations of the

SOUNDNESS
vs
OVER CAP1TAUZA1I0N
Deadly Parallel No. 8.
The Nebraska Telephone Company haa
earned and paid dividends at the rate of
6 per annum without a break for the past
ten years, and by careful management has
accumulated a surplus of $500,000 to pro
vide for 6torm damages and other emergen
cies. 1 '
The Company can ehow actual plant
value for every dollar of capitalization.
It has 'no bonds, no watered Btock, no
Inflation of any kind; although the equip
ment is modern in every respect, the capi
talization is extremely low, being less than
$100.00 per instrument, including real
tstate, toll lines and property of all kinds.
Because the Nebraska Telephone Com
pany is allied with other companies in the
Bell System, it can offer to Its patrou3
facilities for talk by telephone, not only in
Nebraska, but also over lines radiating
through the greater part of the country and
into the Dominion of Canada.
Toll and long distance lines in Bell
system being equipped -With the eame'style
of instruments, connected through switch;
boards of . similar pattern and operated
under like methods and conditions,' afford
far better service than could be obtained If
different kinds of instruments, varying
typea of switchboards, and dissimilar meth
ods ef operation were i raployed.
AVith its modern plant, its comprehen
v eive connections throughout the country
and with its conservative capitalization,
th Nebraska Telephone Company has won
the confidence of telephone users, as ' is
shown by its remarkable growth from year
to year and from month to month. .
"Two main difficulties with which the
independent telephone companies have had
to contend," says the Wall Street Journal,
"have been overcapitalization and insuffi
cient returns from service rendered."
"As a general proposition, the inde
pendent companies seem to have been over
capitalized to such an extent that they were
precluded from making a fair showing be
fore they commenced business. In a great
many instances, the rule of flotation seems
to have been to issue all the stock the public
would take, irrespective of supporting
values."
"Aa a consequence of the mistakes
which were made by the promoters of the
earlier independent 'companies, investors
now look with suspicion on new issues of
telephone securities, and demand something
more substantial than the honied words of
a promoter on which to base their calcula
tions of values. It can bo safely, said that
at no previous time has the flotation of tele
phone securities been more difficult than at
present. It is almost impossible to sell se
curities designed to raise money for con
structing an ppposition system to one now
in posession of the field."
"In a large number of independent tele- -phone'
companies, the stock issues repre
sents no value received by the company. It
' was found necessary in order to sell bonds
yto issue large blocks of stock as. bonuses.
These bonuses in some instances amounted
' to 80 of the amount Jof bonds subycrip
tions. .In fact, one large company has a
capitalization which is about two-thirds
hope and expectancy and one-third tangible
value."
; The Wall Street Journal is a high auth
ority. It goes on to show that a reasonable
capitalization valuo of telephone plants
should vary from $100.00 to $175.00 per in
strument accor&ng to the quality of equip
ment. ! The new Omaha Company, according to
its prospectus, will start with a capitaliza
tion of $500.00 per instrument. This will
mean either a loss to the investor or a hard
ship to the subscriber, who will have to pay
more for his service or get less service for
his money.
V.
commencing" to. choose our men. Today
we have turned away a number of appli
cants because we did not consider them
competent men."
President Samuel Oompers of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor arrived In the
city today to aid the strikers In an ad
visory capacity.
President Qompois said today:
"As to the merits of the telegraphers'
strike, I know notlilsg. The action has
had the sanctjon of their executive com
mittee and riatlonal offlcers and that re
moves from the scope of the Inquiry any
Investigation as to lis merits.
"We assume that sn affiliated organi
sation, which has legalised a strike
has Just grievances and, adhering to union
principles, we are determined to give the
I operators our best support.
'.'Before any plan of action can be adopted
the local heads of unions and the national
offlcers must confer. We will do that sime
time today."
Striker Want Mo Interference.
The officials of the Chicago .local union
today declared that they have no more de
sire to arbitrate the Issue of the strike
than haa the Western Union. They made
: this 1 declaration today ' as soon as they
'. learned of the efforts of the officials of the
national civic federation to secure Inter
vention again by Commissioner of Labor
' Keill and of a reported promise by Preal
! dent Small to send the men back to work
if the government will promise to secure
arbitration.
General . Secretary Wesley. Russell, re
ceived answers today from many of the
the 135 local unions throughout this coun
try and Canada to whom he sent requests
for a rote on the'propoaltlon to call a gen

New York Operators Walk Out.
XEW YORK, Aug. ii-The. Mrl. cf
the telegraph operator wh'th hns affected
many cities, was, extned to, New Tork
tedayj when men employed by both the
Western lTnlon and Postal companies quit
work. The Postal, strikers . said that SO
per cent of : their Vnrn were out. The
Western lnlon officials declared that 60
rer cent of their d.iy force left their keys.
Extra police were- called, .out to preserve
order In the vicinity of the telegraph
buildings, .but there ;yas little or no oc
casion for their services.
It was sa'.ei by a general officer of the
company that Out of,,40a men on. duty on
the day force 501 rr fused to obey the call
snd go out. These men, It was said, are
now at their keys and the company's Cffl
cers mad .the declaration that by 6
o'clock this afternoon they would have a
full force of operators at work.
Within a short time the striking opera
tors dispersed to their homes snd by 1:30
o'clock there was no sign of anything un
usual In the vicinity ef the' Western' Union
building. ' ' "'- '-'

local telegraphers' union, said that the
local men had walked , out without any
order from the union officers and had taken
the matter -In their, pwn hands. He said
the officers of the union, though, would
stand by the strikers In their action.
secretary vMcInrny said that he real
ised that the feeling of the .nen was strong
against the company, but the local union
offlcsra had done all they could to prevent
the men going out. He said:
'"The officers regret the action of the men
in going out at this' time. We did all we
could to restrain tham, but they were
simply goaded Into going out.' The last
straw that broke the camel s beck came to
day when three men, who had been dis
charged last weak for declining to work
wires on which strike-breakers were em
ployed, went to the main office of th
Western Union te get thslr time. They
were told by on of th chief operators to
get out of the office and the man accom
panied tha ejectment with abusive language.
Th fault Is with the company, for we have
done all we could to prevent this trouble.
The local union will stand by th men." .
Secretary Mclnerny said that the local
union was well provided with funds and
that the Order of "Railway Telegraphere
had today assured th local union that they
would aid them in a financial way.
The Western Union operatora employed
In the hotels alao walked out.
General Manager Barclay of the Western
Union said hie company had 400 operatora
at work In the main office at I o'clock this
afternoon. He said that ail business was
being handled aa usual, and that the com
pany had- not found It necessary to accept

nephew of the new emperor of Corca. at the

"The Japanese of course are responsible
for this," the prince commented. "I do not
blame them so much, however, as I blame
the traitorous Coreans, who have sold
themselves to the Japanese. The only ef

add energy and enthusiasm to the work of

"This ordor for my execution will cer

Corean or Japanese Jurisdiction. It would
be mere suicide for me to return to Corea.
If I could gain anything for my oountry
by putting my head in the Japanese noose
I should be very glad to do so, but I can
not see that I should serve any good pur

purpose to return to Corea. I shall ketp up
my work for Corea here and look for
