A Suggestion to Reduced the
Pay of the Aldermen.
This. With Adjustment Of Common
Council, Would Save $4,000.

Interest in the city hall 10 now centerec

the City Council, sno the app Ointment Of
committees for 1897, and tr.e first of the
thres appears as the bigge't in the eyes
of nearly every one i'm the public employ.
The comnittse on. sal iries Is a joint
specisl body and will n OF do any work
until after Inauguration.
Then it is proposed to 60 through the
whole salary list and iu vestigate the mat
ter of compensation, not only of the
heads of departments but of the subordi.
mates.
Members of the co mmittee are anxious
lest the matter be lisunderstoon. 1t is
not the inte ntion t., investigate with the
determined purpose of getting at sorae
one out of spite 70 the sake of scaling
down his salary On tho other hand the
purpose of the cor nmittee,i II 10 claimed, is
to furnish a reI,o rt relative to the pay
received and the a'ervice rendered.in each
case, SO that II 81 official gets $1,000 a
year. and earns 10 the public may sppre-
notion thar the man is getting more out

and still further, IL an official Is found
whose services ars now underpaid the
committee will recon uend an increase;
providing the financial condition of the
city will warrant 1t and then, of course,
the commit GO will not hesitate to recon-
.l
not commemorate with the salary re-
csived.
1t has been suggested by IN ex-alder-
man that the first reduction be In the
salaries of the aldermen themselves.
They now receive 900 each . year. A
companion suggested TO this, is to act
upon the recommendation made by Mayor
Smith In his inaugural message in 1891,
to abolish the Common Council alto
gether. That wo uld save s IL, 900 ut one
clip as each OF The 40 members of the
lower branch receives $500. Then by cut
ting the Aldermen down to s3c0 spi.ce
another $1,000 W ould be saved.
In connections with thi, same MATTER
the heads of some of the departments
went a more uniform system for tho dis
tribution of salaries. In other words he
wants the 50 me privilege with its stten-
dant responsibilities as the city treasurer
enjoys In determining the pay for his
clerks. In the annual appropriation for
the treasury department tnere Is a lump
sum of s10, 100 provided for the payment
of salaries and the head OF the depart
ment can control its distribution. Com
psnsation for clerks in all other depart
ments is fixed by ordinance. 1t is
claimed that a subordinate is apt to rem
der better service II he knows that the
superior officer in whose department he
is employed. has the right to increase or
decrease his pay according to the merits

Insist Upon the Recognition
of Their Union.
A Decisive Vote Taken After Long
Meetings Were Held.
President Little Says He 10 Not Awars
ofProposed Strike.

BosToN, Dec. 23.-The conductors and
motormen of the West End street rail-
way held a meeting in: all divisions last
night, which aid not terminate until this
morning and voted to demand the formal
recognition of the Conductors and Motor
mems Union bysPresident Little. In case
this recognition Is not Eaccorded within
"a hours that is, by IL o'clock tonight the
men say the road v'itf- be tied up.
At the headquarters of the union today
1t was learned that the employees OF the
road have another and more serious
grievances in the refusal Of tine officials OF
the road to agree to the usual scale of
wages, hours of work or TO subscribe to
any set of regularly prescribed terms
under which the men shall work during
the next year Several conferences have
been held between the officials OF the
road and q committee of employees In an
endeavor to reach an agreement, without
avail, and q few days ago, it 10 claimed
President Little assumed an attitude
which was considered equivalent to de-
claration on his part that he would here
after ignore the conference committee.
AS soon a. the result of the ballot was
made known today the executive COM
mittee decided to give President Little
until o'clock this afternoon to sign
the agreement. IL no intimation IL re-
ceived from him that the agreement has
been signed the commissioners at that
time will start out Of the various division
headquarters ana order tie-up to take
place at O'Clock tomorrow morning.
The West End directors have been In ses-
sion this morning.
President Little says he has received no
unicstion of any sort from any or
gapization of the West End railway en-
ployss and 10 not aware OF any contsm-
plated strike. The direct ors of the road
say the matter was not referred to at
their meeting this morning. They say
they cannot conceive why the West End
employees should strike as they are the
best paid of any street railroad employees
in the country. The directors say that
la bor leaders ara at the bottom of the
trouble, If there is any. The trouble
pro baby arises from the fact that Presi-
dent Little does not recognize the labor
organization among the men and the
West End directors scout the probabii-
ity of Q strike.

monetary relations there was regular
movement of gold to this country in the
late summer and autumn while we were
marketing our agricultural products
abroad. y return flow from this country
abroad began i'll the spring and continued
through the early summer to pay our
debts for imports and for other purposes
Low exchange rates in the former and
high rates in the latter periods caused
these movements and the balance of trade
was usually in our favor, rs it is at
present.
1.-The contraction in the active currency
Is caused by the large increase in the bal
ance of the United States Treasury aris-
ing from the bond issues and from the
boarding of gold and of notes rcteemablc
in gold which has been on among the peo-
pie for some time, in view of the possible
failure of the United States to continue
their redemption in gold. The critics
who talk so freely about importing fifty
millions of gold for effect from the other
side of the ocean do not seem to realize
the importance of such transaction and
that there must be value exchanged for
it, either in the shape of exports, of secu-
rites or in some other way.
at must not be forgotten that the con-
fidence in the situation which has placed
the country in its present satisfactory
condition regarding its gold reserve was
largely due to the efforts of the bankers
of New York in the early summer. The
fact of their agreeing to furnish bills of
exchange at rates under the gold ship
ping point and endeavoring to bring about
artifcially that which we now know is IL
logical result from natural causes, in.
spred so much confidence that normal
conditions prevailed and the situation
cured itself.
IF the parties attacking these transac-
tions would examine the daily reports and
see who withdrew or imported the gold,
and what the exchange market was and
why the exchange rates were high or low,
much misrepresentation on these subjects
would be avoided. Yours very truly,
