J. Rowlands Boston, 1 Mass., April. 18. (U. P.) Twenty thousand telephone employes of five New England states are- on strike today. r ,: . The Industrial and social life of five states has been seriously disnfpted ; more than (30,000 telephones are out of commission; the loss to business inter ests is dally amounting to hundreds of thousands ?f dollars am the people are facing- emergencies In 'v which, i under normal conditions - the . telephone plays the leading part. And, yet, despite the tremendous inconvenience to - which the" public has been subjected, the financial loss and the personal anxiety, there is every Indication, that the public sympa thizes with , the- striking ; telephone workers. , V1 , The strike Is an effort on the part of organized labor to gain higher wages. The governors of the five states af- rfected by the strike cabled President Wilson urging action to settle it. City and state officials have been and still are making desperate efforts to find some way of bringing about a res toration of telephone service. Leading Democrats of New England, in a cable to President Wilson, , charged that the postmaster general is wrecking the Democratic party and demanded that he be removed and the strike settled. , - A general' strike of all labor in New England is predicted it the strike is not settled in a very short time. The possibility , of a nation wide strike of telephone employes has ad vanced , from the stage of being con sidered to the point where plans for such a move are in the making. The strikers in New England are constantly being as sured of the support of unions in every state. .
