Subsequently, the Governor did marie public his altitude, declaring it to be his opinion that the proposed extra session was unnecessary and not in Keneral demand by the taxpayer.-.

to the Governor had been completed,with names to spare, came last nightfrom S. Ij. Lupton, president of theVirginia Good Roads Association, fromhis homo in \Vlnche«tcr. in_reply to 4telegram of Inquiry from The TimesAL'lspatch.Mr. 1.Upton's communication con¬

firms rumors which were current inRichmond yesterday tii.il the Senate,following tin; lead of tin ilouse. had..gone over the top" for the extra ses¬sion, making it an a*.-ured fact.

'IVIrkrain from ),uptonThe petition on Thursday, when Mr.

Lupton left the city for his home, badon it the names of twenty-rive .Sena¬tors, just two leas than trie requiredtwo-thirds. .Seventy-five signaturesfrom the llou.se had been attached toIt. eighi more ihtui is the constitutionalrequirement for that *ide of the Gen¬eral Assembly.

Mr. Lupton's telegram last nightreads as follows:"Your wire even date. Senators

Addison and Strode. signed yesterday.Was assured Garr«tt and Kison wouldsign todaj, making twenty-n.ne Sena¬tors and »eventy-live Oclcgates, andmore to follow."

Ibis means that the long tight of theVirginia Good Roads Association for aspecial session of the Legislature li« =ended in u victory and that the Gov¬ernor, within a reasonable time, willi«sue the proclamation bringing thehuions to Richmond.

Started bj Amwlntlon.The struggle waa bosun when the

association met in Richmond severalmonths ago and passed resolutions re-out'Silng Governor Uavis to convenethe General Assembly for the purposeof matching the Federal appropriation.'I he Governor promised to give thematter his careful attention, but forsome time gave no indication as >.ohow lie would act.

Later the association again me»,passed another set of resolutions, em¬phasizing the need of the session "j1"requesting the Governor to makeknown his position, giving in writinghis reason* for a decision either way.Subsequently, the Governor did marie

public his altitude, declaring it to behis opinion that the proposed extrasession was unnecessary and not inKeneral demand by the taxpayer.-. Itwas then that the association befjanan active campaign through the Stateto secure, as the Constitution provides,the signatures of two-thirds ot themembership of the General Assembly,petitioning the Governor for the ses¬sion.

Victory I-:*peeled.In well-informed circle* here it has

been taken as a fore«one conclusionfor some time thai the associationsefforts would end in victory, and tnaithe session would be secured.Some wonder is expressed as to Just

But. he continued, "for organizedlaoor to participate in such a strikeas :s proposed would simplv meanthat labor was trying Mooney.'withouttne benefit of evidence. Very few ofus are familiar with all the evidence,

stage of the commercial telegraphers"strike'will he reached tomorrow morn¬ing when railroad operators at 23.000points in America are to discontinuehandling comnicrclal messages underan order issued by the Order of Rail¬road TelegraphersSuch action, strike leaders declared

tonight, will tie up all commercialtelegraph business except hot ween t.holarger cities iif which the WesternUnion and Postal compiniea maintaintheir own offices. Officials of tli'oPostal sal*- that company would notbe affected by the order, as little Postalbusiness is handled through railroadstations.Western Union officials, while ex¬pressing belief that the order wouldbe rescinded, predicted that Its effectwould not have serious results.They estimated that the 23.000 pointshandling commercial business overrailroad wires do' not average morethan Ave messages each day.

Claim Strike Spreads. >

Meanwhile, officers of the Commer¬cial Telegraphers" Union of Americacontinued to receive reports indicatingthat the strlko Is spreading. S. "J.Kpnenkamp, International president ofthe union, said the number of strikershad reached 22,000; that the strike ofelectrical workers set for next Mon¬day would add 130.000 workers to thelist of those Idle and that by earlynext week telegraph service In manycities Ktid towns would be greatly Im¬paired through a walkout of telephoneoperators. "

.Practically all union telephone opera-tors are members of the ElectricalWorkers' Union. Committees set-towork In many cities today picketingamong telegraph operators, who arebeing urged to join the strikers.The brokers' division of the teleg¬

raphers' union has been asked to takeaction. Meetings were to be held to~night and tomorrow, at which it willbe decided whether to. strike in sym¬pathy. Strike leaders said a walk¬out of broker operators would blocktransmission of financial business 4»»such an extent that business on WallStreet would be greatly hampered*

Denied by Companies.Claims of strike leaders that the

walkout is rapidly spreading were re¬futed bv officials of commercial com¬panies. who said they were acceptingbusiness without restrictions, and thatconditions were practically normal.The Association of Western L nion

Employees, representing tio pc-r centof the Western "Union workers, an-nounced that the small number o..strikers in that company had returnedto work.

, , ,Postal officials likewise stated thatconditions were Improving, and that theChicago office, which was hard hit onthe first day of the strike. Is operating"about 70 per cent normal." '

A committee representing the strik-era submitted to the Postal conditionsupon which a settlement could bereached. They provided that the com¬pany agree to wage adjustments after

government has released control¦ the company. The conditions were1 .Vt^-arded to New York.

'

liurteson Is Aeoueed.'The union men charged that Post-

master-General Burleson had In asense "lied the hands of the commer-clal companies by prohibiting the sign¬ing of wage contracts."The number of Chicago strikers was

placed at S00 by strike leaders. TheWestern Union said only fifty-one per¬sons were absent from the operatingdepartment, and the Postal announced

i that of the 350 operators, 70 per centwere at work.'The messengers of both companies

still are on strike.

NEW YORK, June 13..The PostalTelegraph Company has entered intono agreement whatever with its strlk-ing operators, and has received nocommunication from them at any timeexcept through the public press, it wasstated hero today by Edward Reynolds,general manager of the Postal system.Mr. Reynolds added that the companylooked on the strike as virtually atan end.

Mr. Reynolds said the company hadvirtually a normal/force of operators,and that reports from other citiesshowed many men coming back towork. The report that officials of thiiCommercial Telegraphers' Union ofAmerica had submitted to the PostalCompany conditions upon which anagreement could be based was at¬tributed by Mr. Reynolds to the factthat "Postal operators In the union arebringing pressure to bear on the unionleaders to call off the strike." .' *

"No principle Is Involved In thisstrike," he continued, "and the menare becoming restless. We are In¬formed that they are coming back'even at strike stronghulds like Bir¬mingham, Ala., and we received a re¬port this afternoon that the local atDetroit had voted to call the strikeoff.

"While we have had no negotiationswith the men, and are not urging themto come back, we are willing to takethem back without prejudice and with¬out considering their continuity of ser¬vice Interrupted If they return withina reasonable time.
