STRIKE CONTINUES
TELEPHONE OPERATORS NEW YORK, May 1. The telephone strike is still on despite agreements signed yesterday by four independent unions under which 25,000 New York telephone employees were expected to resume work to-day. Most telephonists, however, refused to pass the picket lines formed by the striking long-distance operators. Mr H. Mayer, attorney for the National Federation of Telephone Workers’ Unions, said he believed that when “the telephone company sees that their attempt to end ttie strike in New York city has failed, they will capitulate.”
