Chicago, Aug. 9. Telegraph oper ators employed by the Western Union in Chicago went on strike to night at 12 o'clock.

When the men wero notified of this step, all the operators employed in the overland division of the local oillco refused to work any longer with non-union men. When this action was taken, night chief operator Price ordered all who refused to work to leave tho ofuce. Ho then went Into other divisions and requested men to go into tno overland division. In every case ho was met with refusal, until over 70 men were sent home. The grievanco committee of the union called on Price and notified him that unless every man was reinstated by midnight, every union man In the of fice would bo called out. This was refused and promptly at midnight, by pre-arrangement, a whistle was blown and every operator employed in the main ofllce, with the exception of six wire and loop chiefs, including Manager Price and his two assist ants, left their keys and with a round of cheers, filed out of the office. The men employed by the company at various morning newspapers had been notified and they also quit work. Local officials of the union tonight stated that the force employed by the company, most of whom belong to the union, would refuse to go to work in tho morning. This will include all tho branch offices throughout the city. Tho national officials of the union spent all day trying to prevent tho "Hank and File" from taking matters into their own hands and calling a strike. The men have for weeks maintained a sullen attitude toward the company. Tilt Chicago force was dissatisfied with the settle men, reached at the time the San Francisco strike was called off. Tho men believed, according to their own statement, that President Small' sum mitted to a defeat of it at San Fran cisco, and this in connection with the Los Angeles trouble, prompted the walkout tonight. After the men quit work, Secretary Kupple refused to talk about tho controversy, except to say that the men had taken matters into their own hands and undoubted ly felt they were were capable of handling their own affairs. Secretary Ulricli, of the local union, said to night, that the men are utterly tired of the conditions under which they were working and would not stand it any longer. When the additional insult of asking them, he said, to work with non-union men at Los Angeles was put to them, they re fused to stand it and walked ont.
