Sioux City journal: The mail on the

being weighed this month. Once every
two years the mails on all the routes are
weighed, and from the average daily
weigh for a month the compensation of
the railroad companies is fixed. The
goverrm ent furnishes one weigher and
the railroad company one, whose duty it
is to weigh every pouch and sack taken
on an put off at each station, and to
keep check on each other and see that
the correct weight is given. On the
heavy runs extra men are furnished for
this work, but where the mail is light
as in this case, the postal clerk in charge
weighs for the government and the con
ductor on the part of the railroad com
pany.

large freight trains, loaded with freight
and the Vandalia a train of thirty
empties. No interference by
strikers was made in either case
New switchmen and yardmen are en-
ployed IN making up trains which will
be sent out later in the 10y.
Contrary to the expectation OF the
knights thirty of the strikers On the
Vandalia road applied to the foreman oil
the yards of that road for work and Of
fered to return to their old positions,
provided they should be granted theirde-
mands for an increase of IS cents per day.
While they were discussing the situa-
tion with the foreman thsy were APP
preached by q delegation of knights,
who persuaded them to withdraw their
applications. A number of former
employees of other roads also made
applications for the places vacated by
them when the strike was commenced,
but upon being informed by q COM
