The Proposed Increase of Fourth Glass
Postmasters' Salaries.
WASHINGTON, April l2.-At the post
office department a report has just been
completed upon the bill recently intro
duced in congress to provide IN meas
ure for the equalization of postmasters'
salaries, particularly of the smaller
Offices It's particular provision was fix
ing $25 as the lowest limit of any salary
for any postmaster. The bill is being
watched with the deepest interest by the
great army of fourth-olass postmasters.
From the general tenor of the report
made by the postoffiee department it does
not appear that the officials favor the
measure. The report states il would
cost $7,200,000 per annum TO carry out
the provision of the bill and that that
sum must be added in case the bill be-
came law, with the postoffice appro-
priation bill for the next fiscal year. 1t
shows that az present 1900 postmasters
receive an annual compensation of less
than 5000, and 1000 get less even than
$100.
One United States postmaster in North
Carolina broke the record for the past
year by getting the salary of eighty
eight cents.

EIGHT HOURS.
A Grand Demonstration to Be
Held in Chicago May J..
Estimated That 10000 People
Will Be in Line.

The Circular to the Trades Unions of the
City Marred by n Decidedly Anarchis-
tie Sentiment I'm the German Portion
of 1.-THE English Portion Partieu-
larry Mild in Tone.
CHICAGO, April IA grand interna-
tional eight-hour demonstration will
take place Sunday, May /. 1t is esti-
mated that members of trades unions,
socialistic societies and their sympa-
thizers to the number of 10000 will
march through Chicago's streets on that
day. The great crowd win gather at the
lake front, after it has paraded the city,
and dozen speakers will crate in En-
glish and German.
The committee having in charge the
arrangements has issued circular in
German and English to the trades unions
of the city. The English portion of the
circular is particularly mild in tone, but
the one in German is decidedly anarch-
istic. Translated, portion of 1t reads:
In no city of the world is the work
ingman treated as he is in Chi
cago Capital and the police have
secretly conspired to give labor its death
wound All efforts on the side of labor to
better it's condition will be violently op-
posed All means are in the hands of our
enemies, but if we, the working classes,
resting our strength in the national con-
stitution, vote to incorporate an eight
hour law in the constitution of Illinois, in
order to secure an eight-hour day, as was
done in 1886, when they shot us down like
wild beasts; shrink back from no blood
she'd They provoke the working classes
TO the extremity, and it is only attribu-
table to the apathy of the workingmen of
Chicago that in the last five months blood
of men, women and children has not been
shed
The demonstration this year will, there
fore be of two-fold character-in advance
ment of the eight-hour day, and an open
protest against the oppression of the
workingmen of Chicago by the police.
Therefore, workmen, rise en- masse
Freedom from the political and econon c
yoke can only be obtained through yollr
