the project of organizing labor union
for self protection. They do not propose
to organize for the purpose Of chshing
with the companies ou account Of every
trihtug disagreement and make every
laborer's quarrel the cause Of strike, but
time has forced them into the belief that
if they do not band together there will be
no restraint on the companies OF operators
to prevent them from cutting wages as
they please. The systematic reduction OF
wages for the past three years is the mvY-
ing cause Of the miners action.

much entitled to good mail f.cliities as any

Office has been moved to its new quarters
that the postal clerks at Dallas should have
an office to themselves. The clerks are
Q ,mpeiled to use the mailing department
Of the Dallas postof6ce. at other points
where there are as m sDy clerks run in them

need a local agent ut this point, and an

more frequency aud promptness.
The clerks OF the Texarkana and Ell Paso
