eolored, signing himself "Organizer OF
the American Citizens Equal Rights
Association of Texas" has promul-

pose Of perfecting a movement that
shall appeal from the politics, creeds,
prejudice5 and passions of men to the
statutory and organic law of the land,
a movement that shall appeal to tho
Justice OF the American people, and
the considerate Judgment OF mankind
for the distribution OF equal and i'm

for the purpose OF forming n letter
carriers association. The carriers
claim that tho necessities of the SER
vice here force them to work from ten
to tw olive hours a day, while the law
recognizes eight hours as days
work. The carriers recently made a
claim for increased pay on the basis Of
the eight-hour law In reply the de-
partment sent blank forms OF applica-
lions for increased pay, In which each
carrier was required to state under
oath, from memoranda kept by him
self lust how many hours he had
worked in each day during the time
for which he claimed extra pay.
II was also required that the post
master should verify this statement
from the records OF the office. As
the carriers had not kept any record
of the number OF hours they had
worked, these conditions could not lie
complied with. The objects of the
meeting were fully explained last
evening, and nm organization effected

was one of tho most terrible in the his

1000 persons hayc applied to the
sheriff for permission to sec it's perpe-
traitor hanged. or these 200 will be
