Hill Investigation.

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Mr Bartlett was
cross ex amined before the Hill Investigating
Committee to day. He said he had made
about a dozen visits to New York during the
progress of the work on the poslofice build
ing, but relied upon the foreman for a state
ment OF the cost Of extra work done and
material furnished. The foreman was dead,
and detailed accounts of those expenditures
had been lost or destroyed after the bill was
made out. He had filed time sheets and other
pspers, bat had not seen them since the bill
was made out.
Coleman expressed surprise that business
men should destroy their accounts, and wit
ness said he should keep them hereafter, be-
cause he did not want repetition OF such q
thing az this. Witness did not know nythipg
of the steam heating branch of the business;
that WAS IN chsrge OF Haywood. He believed
Charles S. Newton superntend that work
in the S.. Louis postofice building.
Question-Why was he paid by the gov
ernmeDl?
Auswer-I do not know that he WAS.
Ques.-Whst does this voucher mean, then? ?
Ans.-I meant that he fOremanized our
work.
Ques.-Did he act as superintendent?
Ans Il suppose 60, or he would not have
been paid.
Mr.. Totten asked the witness how it was
that his firm had been more successful in
obtaining CONTRACTS for heating apparatus
than for other work. He answered that
they were the lowest bidder, and had better
facilities than any other firm.
To Mr.. Coleman-We may have secured
repair work from the government Without
advertisement, but We never did any such
work by verbal authority OF the Supervising
Architect.
Mr.. Coleman produced vouchers for work
OF this kind, but witness said he knew moth
ing of them, as they were vouchers for work
uot in his department. Mr.. Coleman pre-
duced vouchers for S4S00 for steam boilers,
paid Bartlett, Hayward & Co., asserting
that this contract had unlawtully been
awarded without competition, and asked il
the witness did not regard that as evidence
of undue favoritism. Bartlett refused to
touch the papers, repeating his answer that
hey did not concern work done by his de-
partment Adjourned.

New kules Adopieu by The Western

NEW YoRK, July 1l.-In reference to the
recently publ sned reports Of contem o sted
changes in the hours Of labor, salaries, elc
of employees of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, careful investigation de-
velops the fIllowing facts: The company has
had in contemplation for some time the
adoption OF new rules Tor the Management
OF its business. The committee having the
20 after in charge has been holding meeting.
every week for the past three months, and
have foally msds their report, which has
been adopted By the company. Ole of the
most important rules 10 the n:w code is that
determining the hours OF duty and the al sn-
ner OF paying Tor extra ssrvice, the seltl,-
no Mt of which questions b is heretofore been
left largely with the superintendeuia of The
company, whose practice has varied sccord-
ing 10 the requirements of business, af-
fecled by climatic aud other congidera-
tions. The following is the rule sd1pted:
"At all Independent Western Uaion Offices
which may be required to keep
open all day Sunday, niue hours actu Al ser.
vice in the day, Elk days in the week, and
sven hours aclual service at night, seven
nights in a week, will con.liture a day's
work. All serv.c. in excess Of the above
named hours, including Sunday, will BE- re-
garded extra, and b. paid for at the regular
salary on the bas 8 of seven hours TO 4 day"
The above order was issued to-day, and is
interpreted by some Of the operators as hav-
ing been forced from the company by the
ia that the Brotherhood OF Telegraphers
had demanded certain concessions, and
threatened a general strike unless their de-
mands were a. once complied with. The
officers of the company state that no de-
msnds have been made upon them of the
kind indicated, and il was necessary to issue

new rules take effect at the beginning of the
company's fiscal year, July lat, but the
