were Induoad to return to work pending
n discussion -tomorrow of their griev
ances. The girl war out about an

Tha trouble begad last Week when
plana war laid for the organisation of
a union. A story to that effect waa pub
lished la The Journal and vehemently
denied by aabrtatg of tha company who
lnnxtod I hat no trouble existed. The
strike wa threatened Saturday bight
when a new manager af the switchboard
arrived from Ban rranclaeo and, accord
ing to the operator, waa mora than
necessarily strict tn bla requirements.
To The Journal that night General Man
ager Thatcher vigorously denied the aa
latenoe of trouble of any hind, Kvon to
day, during a conference betweea emctal
of tha company and' tha operator re
garding a eettlament of tho etrtka, Mr,
Thatch.. Insisted that he knew af ao

at tba switchboard lght boor a day
and not speak to anyone. She must
neither move nor, leave bap chair, It 1
aald. An Infraction of one of tha new

Infraction la mid t mean die mines I
from the aewlce. A number of the
older operators left tha aervloe Immedi
ately on tho Installation of tho new ays

claimed by tha aider opera tor that It
was the desire of the company ta all a-grate

are being made by tha oavial of tha

Late thla afternoon a conferearw was
