The New Rule Has Produced a Feeling Of

CANNOT LOITER ABOUT THE OFFICE.

There is battle silently going on be-
tween the Postmaster at Wash
ington and the mail-carriers. The order
suppressing the practice of selling carrier
songs" and souvenirs at Christmas time IS
an outcropping of the bitterness that has
been engendered.
The war is not confined to the San Fran
cisco Postoffice. 1t extends throughout the
entire service and permeates every depart
ment. 1t is a sort of guerrilla warfare, and
thus far the men have the best of it.
For some time the mail-carriers in the
service of the United States Government
have been quietly organizing union for
the protection of their individual and joint
interests. They are now SO powerfully or
ganized that they have thousands of men
and thousands of dollars at their COM
mand.
The mail-carriers are supposed to work
eight hours day, but in the arrangement
for their delivery of mails they have been
in the habit of appearing at their posts
half an hour or so earlier than required to
assert their letters or papers. In this way
a man working half hour each day would
put in considerable overtime in year.
The men have quietly and unknown to the
of all overtime and are now suing the Gov
eminent of the United States for payment
for this extra work.
To fight these suits is the principal OBJ
ject of the Mail-carriers' Union, and a
large fund has been accumulated for that
purpose. Already suits involving $1,000,
600 and over are pending in the United
States courts.
"The department is savage over the mat
ter" said Postmaster McCoppin last night.
According to the new orders the carriers
will not be allowed in the building except
to come in and get their mail and imme-
diately go out again. The same rule will
be observed when they return from deliv-
ering their letters and go off duty. They
will not be tolerated about the building an
instant. They must wait outside until
their mail is ready for them.
''This order is emphatic and I will see
that 1t is carried out in detail. 1t is in
tended to put a check on this overtime
practice and Offset any ways that may be
devised to secure extra money for extra
work.
"In the past our carriers have been in
the habit of coming down to work half an
hour earlier in the morning and arranging
their own letters. In this way hundred
men put in fifty hours of extra work each
day. Now that is all done away with and
in place of these hundred men working
half an hour each we have put on seven
each.
Eyes, the department is savage" con-
Guided the Postmaster, 'and will take
every precaution to prevent a repetition of
these schemes of the men to secure extra
time y

ALAMEDA.

DR.. w. H. Robinson intends to prosecute
every one of the suits which he has pend
ing in Justice Swasey's court against the
Southern Pacific Company. He has more
than 200 cases pending, and sues in each to
recover $500 and costs because of the re-
fusal of the railroad company to grant him
stop-over privileges. The first case was
tried yesterday. 1t was based on a refusal
in June, 1893. Attorney g. w. Baker OF
Oakland appeared for the railroad, while
Thomas V. Gator and Attorney Jennings
looked out for the interests of DIR. Robin
son. Mr.. Baker contended that DIR. Rob-
inson went out of the way to demand stop
over tickets for the purpose of accumulat-
ing causes of action and "such person,
he said, sis not contemplated by the sec
ton of the Civil Code which provides for
the bringing of suits to recover 5000 dam
ages for the refusal of a railroad to sell
stopover tickets" The case will be argued
to-day.
Making Life Miserable.
Mrs. Mary Dudley, who has been resi-
dent of the Alameda Hotel, has been com
mitted to the asylum for the insane at Ag-
news. She imagines that she is under the
influence of mind reader, and that by
continually talking her acquaintance are
making her life miserable.
Gauge Driveway.
There is a large force of men at work
tearing up the driveways to the ferry slips
on the narrow gauge trestle. The removal
of the driveway has stopped all traffic to
San Francisco by teams on the narrow
gauge route.

6. 5. Bloss of Atwater and H. F. Geer of
Turlock were among the callers at the
committee-rooms yesterday. They repre-
sent the Mitchell estate, comprising over
100000 acres in the San Joaquin Valley,
and are much interested in the proposed
line.
I'VE haven't any money TO give" said
Mr.. Geer ''as the Southern Pacific has ex-
hausted us in that respect; but the road
can get anything it wants in the valley in
the way of rights of way or depot
facilities"
The question of incorporation was taken
up by the committee yesterday, and it was
decided to at once proceed with the work
in the papers. This, Secretary Preston
said, would take some time. It was
thought by some of the members that it
might be the best plan to defer incorpora-
ton until larger amount had been raised,
but this plan met with objections, and de-
cisive action was determined upon. There
are many things to be done in the near
future, which, if attended to by the present
committee, would not be legal, and it is
for the purpose of avoiding complications
of this character that Incorporation papers
viii be filed as soon as possible.
With $4,000, 600 practically in hand the
committeeman are naturally quite iubilant
and expressions of confidence in their abil-
ity to raise as much more, at least, in this
city were frequently heard yesterday.
1.-THE committee feels that great interest
has been shown by the people in this mat
ter" said Secretary Preston, land that we
are warranted in prosecuting the good
work Subscriptions to stock will go right
along and will be received just as before -
"The enthusiasm has been greater to-
day than at any time since the project was
started" said Lewis Gerstle. 81 brought
in 100000 to-day and had no difficulty in
securing it. Just look at the record of the
committee. We have been at work. now
inst fifteen days and as a result have over
$2,000000 to the credit of the road. We in
tend to see that every man who has an in
terest in the city comes in. This takes
hard work and lots of time, but we will
get the 4000,0 00
"What will be done when we raise the
money in regard to other matters which
are being discussed to some extent, / can
not say. We do not intend to go to the
country until we have the 100000. In
order to secure this it has been thought
best to seek out the large property-holders
first. We have not yet discussed the mat

plenty of time to take this up. / am in for

The two.miLlion mark in the San Joaquin
Valley road fund was handsomely passed
yesterday and a substantial sum secured
as starter on the third million. The
members of the committee now unhesi-
tatingly state that it is not their intention
to stop the work until at least 81, 600. 600
has been secured in this city, and they are
laying all their plans now with that object
in view
1t Is the belief of majority of the COM
mlttee that Claus Spreckels should not be
called upon to fulfill his generous offer to
double his subscription to the fund Just at
this time. They argue that as the road is
to be built in the interest of the people the
more persons interested financially in its
construction the better it Will be- 1t is
believed by these gentlemen that every
citizen who has means to invest-no mat
ter how small the amount-should be
given an opportunity to do so before the
question of doubling subscriptions should
be considered.
eve all know how nobly Mr.. Spreckels
has acted in this matter, and the generous
impulses with which his mind is filled re-
garding it" said one of them yesterday );
"but no necessity exists for such action
upon his part, and at this juncture it
would seem much in the nature OF an i'm
position to ask it of him. If we find we
are short in cash when the time comes our
chairman will do everything that he has
promised, and more too"
The subscriptions yesterday foot up
S127,50 which, added to the sum of
81 1925, 800 previously acknowledged shows
a fund on the books of 81, O57 ,OOO

were not fresh and drugs were inferior to those
obtained from the stores they directed their pa

inform the public their only motive was to compel
their patients to patronize those druggists who are
willing to charge twice what a prescription is
worth and give them half OF it. We were the first
to publicly expose this robbery of the people by
physicians who compel their patients to have their
prescriptions filled at drugstore that returns them
one-half Of your money. When n physician insists
on your taking your prescription to any certain
drugstore you may be sure that you are 10 pay

tice have 10 resort 20 such methods Ask

commissions paid through the side entrances to
drugstores. Reputable physicians do not tolerate
