SYMPATHY WITH STRIKERS Newspapers Struggling Vntler Diffi culties, and Business of All Kinds Feels Effect Take Fight Into the Courts. HELENA, Mont., Aug. 13. (Special.) e Never in the history of Montana has there been such a complete tie-up of news facilities, with both telegraph companies, the press associations and the telephone company in-a practically Jielpless condition, due to strikes of telegraph and telephone operators. In the '60s the telegraph wires were down on occasions for a day or two, but then editors depended not wholly upon the Morse for their foreign news, and the stages brought dally letters of current events, which were only skeletonized and greatly curtailed in the "pony" report which was carried over the first wires. So, in reality, conditions are wogse today than in the times of gold excitement, for the reason that incom ing newspapers bring only a repetition of matter carried days before over the wires of the press associations and Items from special correspondents. Getting News Under Difficulties.. And state news is in equally , bad shape. The telephone company has been involved in strikes of operators and linemen in the chief cities for weeks and nothing is available from that source. In consequence, editors of Montana newspapers find themselves straining resources never before re sorted to in the matter of current news Items. An illustration of this is found in that a tornado visited Gallatin County, less than 100 miles from Helena, and yet It was a day and a half before the story reached the city, whereas ordi narily It would have been covered the Fame day. Public sympathy, it may be stated, is, as a rule, with the strik ers, for there is no stronger "union" state In the Union than Montana, per haps. Sympathies With the Strikers. Wages In every profession are higher than - In states to the east, wost or south. Expenses, too, on this account, are higher, but It is a system that ap parently pleases wageearner, employer nd merchant alike. Because of the in creasing expenses, the workmen find public sympathy in their demand for Higher wages. " An illustration of this point is found in that many merchants in various iltles refuse to answer telephone calls vhere strikebreakers are employed. This is particularly true in Llvlng-scon, tvhero practically every merchant in :he city has ordered his telephone taken iut until the trouble is settled. Yet all are anxious for a settlement, ind hopa is-strong that this may be ipeedlly brought about, as business Is suffering, in consequence, not only imong the newspapers, but in practically all classes. The courts have been appealed to in an effort to lettle the telephone strike, but with no very appreciable result. STOOD IN LINE FOR WEEKS Applicants at Sacramento Land Office at Last Rewarded.
