Portland Telegram: Two great corporations, tbe Western Union and Postal Tel- agraph companies, figuratively speaking, the puloe of tbe business world, are today engaged In a bitter struggle with their thousands of em nloves throughout tbe United States. Not since the famous walkout of tbe telegraphers in 1883, when al most to a man every operator left his key, have telegraph companies been confronted with a condition of affairs such as exists today,. In 1883 tbe operators lost. TbiB time the balance appears to be in their favor. Conditions today are not what they were 25 years ago. At the time of the tie-up in I883 the public did not depend upon tbe tel egraph to the extent that a complete demoralization ot business occurr ed, although much Inconvieace was was felt in many districts. In the present crisis the situation is different. The rapid growth of the country in the last two decades has made the telegraph wire neces sary adjunct to quick dispatch of communications between every bus iness firm and individual in the United States and Cauada. The telegraph has kept pace with the spirit of the times and today a net work of wires ey tends from every metropolis touching every village and hamlet from tbe Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Gulf to Alaska. The result of a complete tieup of these wires has. caused al most a total paralyzation of busi ness. Stock markets, brokers, grain exchanges, merchants and the pub lic in general feel the blow which suddenly takes them almost back to the days when stage coaches and oce train a day were the only means of conveying communica tioos. Tbe struggle that Is now engag ing officials end labor unions over the entire country began Match 1 as', when a ten per cent, advance in wages was announced by both the Western Union and Postal Tele graph Companies. Thi was made at a time when the Commercial Telegraphers' Union of America was making gnat- inroads among tbe operators securing hundreds of members with a view of presenting their griev&ncts to 'he telegraph companies v Immediately following the ad vance March 1 tbe operators alleged that tbe advance was not impartial ly given and a demand for further concessions wes made which result ed in a strike of Western Union op erators in Oakland and San Fran cisco being called by President Small, ' of, the union, Jane 2I. Through the intercession of Com. Neilr, of tbe United States depart- mi nt of labor, this strike was set tled several weeks later. The telegraphers bs-ert the companies- agreed to re-employ all strik ing men without discrimination but tbe companies allege they agreed to reemploy tbe strikers only on conditions satisfactory to them selvep. . ' ' A Western Union operator was discharged at 1,03 Angelas last week tbe caute being givm as insubordin ation. Tbe entire Western Union force walked out. Soon afterward the L 6 Angeles Postal forces joined in the movement.' An effort to com pel tbe Chicago forces of both com panies to work with nonunion men at Los Angeles resulted in the Chi cago offices striking. Within three days the strike has extended throughout the United States and Canada, even to , the Associated Press men, who were not to .take an active part at least not at pres ent. Telegraphers of Canada will re fuse to iermit messages to be sent to .different points in the United States by dominion wires. All mestaes sent to Canada points will be received, whether the eenders be union or nonunion men, but none will be stnt out to other points in the United States except such mer es ges as have their origin in Do minion territory. . This, in substance, was the re port made to the local branch of the Commercial Telegraphers' Un ion this morning at the meeting held In Drew Hall. 162 Second street, by William Burke, a strik ing Western Union operator. He asserted that the welcome news was received this morning over the long distance telephone. "Discrimination" is the key note of the forceful plant which the strik ing t.legrapners of Portland lodge againBt the Western Union and Postal Telegraph Companies. They emphasize in the strongest language that tbe local strike is not a sytn pathetic affair and that they have gone out because they nave ances of their own; . Notice to Creditors.

Telegram: Sampson Moody must cage his tame pet rattlesnake Gyp, or take it to a dentist and bave its fangs pulled. This is the ultimatum that will be given him this afternoon by Con stable Lou Wagner, in person, and in case tbe proud owner refuses to take either oourse then the consta ble has instructions to seize the snake, bring it to town and have it asphyxiated as a menace to public safety. - - For several days complaints have been pouring in thick and fast to the constable from neighbors of Moody'e, on Columbia Slough, con cerning the doings of the playful Gyp. Moody, it seems, caught the young snake two years ago, near Mt. Adams, when it was hardly big enouph to shake its rattlee. He brought it home, fed it on skimmed milk, and it grew so tame it would drink out of bis hand. Every night it coiled itself about the post at the foot of Moody's bed and . went to sleep, and on extra cold nights, Moody took it right in uadet. tbe covers. Sj the neighbors say. Naturally, with such treatment, the snake grew fearfully affection ate. Neighbors say it roams all around. Nobody knows when it won't drop down on the table off one of the rafters, grab a choice morsel of meat, and climbed back agnia, out, not. Knowing tne snKe as Moody does, it makes them ner vous. Lately, however, GyD is said to have become rather morose. Moody told tbe neighbors that the reptile is only cutting wisdom teeth, and iil be all right in a short time, but they have become so wrought up over the affair, that they went to the constable. The neighbors insist that the reptilt'a teath must be pulled. ' Found Her Purse. Editor Times: Mr. Handy found my purse and returned its contents all right.
