rapidly approaching ono of tho So groat a burdon has boon Invested
sharpest contests between labor and
capital In recent history. This does
not necessarily mean inai rauruuu
mon gonorally aro expecting big
strikes in tho labor world. Such
strikes, however, aro always among
tho possibilities when labor and
capital clash. It is ilrmly bolleved
by tho railroad men that this strug
gle will bo begun by tho railroad
labor organizations and will rapidly
spread to other lines of work and
may ovontually result in a comploto
readjustment of industrial condi
tions. Tho situation with respect to rail
road labor Is unique in tho history
of this or any other country. Novor
boforo haB labor enjoyed bucIi high
wages. During tho rocont periods
of great prosperity wages in tho
railroad flold havo mounted vory
high. As a result, labor men havo
becomo accustomed to living on an
ontiroly different piano than former
ly, Notwithstanding tho fact, how
ovor, that oxcoodlngly high wagoB,
comparatively speaking, havo ena
bled tho laboring classes In tho rail
road flold to bottor tholr conditions,
thoy now find thomBolves unablo to
livo on their prosont rateB of pay.
Ono or two thlngB must result
namely, olthor tho railroad laborer
must return to his old stylo of liv
ing, or ho must havo increased
wagos. Railroad manngomontH
ovorywhoro recognize this economi
cal fact, and Hkowlso the fact that
tho cost of living has materially In
creased nil oyer tho country.
Plea for Hnfnrlcd Employes.
President Itlploy, of tho Santa Fo,
udhoros to his position that on tho
basis of tho Incroasotl cost of living,
tho salaried mon and clorlcal forces
aro ontitlod to tho first considera
tion. Tho wages of skilled work
in on havo boon stoadlly advnnccd
from tlmo to tlmo, bocauso tho do
manda of tho organized employes
through tholr rospectlvo unloiiB had
lo bo conceded. Not so, howovor.
with tho mon lucking tho protection
of tho brotherhoods. Tholr snlarlos
havo romalnod on the samo basis for
many years, notwithstanding tho
hlghor cost of living.
hv thn dpnnnltincr of 300.000.000
ono cont pieces annually in boxes
along tho rural routes mat tno ue
partmont has decldod that somo ac
tion must bo taken.
Persons living on rural routes
vory frequently when they do not
havo Btamps, deposit letters In tho
collection box and drop pennies for
tho postage. Horetoforo tho car
riers finding tho letters in tho mail
box unstamped and tho pennies In
tho box would stamp tho letters.
For a tlmo this systomj worked
satisfactorily In tho country, but
now tho practlco has becomo so com
mon as to work hardship on tho
carriers. Last year more than 300,
000,000 ono cent pieces were left
in tho rural boxes. Bocauso of the
Increasing number of coins so loft
carriors, according to a lottor mailed
to Postmaster Squiro Farrar havo
wasted tlmo and tho delivery of
malls havo boon delayed.
Froquontly during tho cold weath
er In tho outsldo districts tho coins
freeze to tho bottom of tho mall box
and great difficulty has boon exper
ienced by tho carriers, who havo
beon compolled to romovo from 100

UNLAWFUL TO ISSUE
CHECK LESS. THAN $1
Martin Sweeney, foreman on the

ts suffering with a caso of pneumonia.
Tho announcement from Wash
ington that after January 1 it will
bo unlawful to issuo a check for
less than $1 need not alarm any
ono, for thero has been an unob
served law to this offect for over 40
years, and tho recent ono is only
tho work of some ldlo congressman
who learned that thoro was such a
statute. Tho local banks will not
enforce it, as It has no purpose
whatever.
Tho original law was passed soon
after the civil war for a purpose '
that has been outgrown long ago. I
Kvory ono knows tho financial con
ditions at that time how paper i
money was spoken of In terms of
bushels. Because of this, it became I
the custom to draw checks for
everything. These were transferred
and endorsed and became almost an
individual currency that caused
much trouble. To eliminate this the
law was passed. As Its usefulness
passed, it was not enforced and has
almost been forgotten until brought
up by a member of congress who
could think of no othor way to make
himself known.
