Recent Civil Service Changes for the Coed
of the Service, He Says.

Washington. June 1.-Secretary Gage.
in commenting yesterday on the presi-
dents recent civil service order. said:
THE president has not made a change
in the civil service rules that was not
urged by the head of the department
coe .erned, and urged with satisfactory
reasons why the change would be bene-
fetal to the transaction of public busi-
ness / believe that is true of all the
departments 1t is certainly true with
the treasury. The only large class of
places in the treasury service which
has been exempted are the deputy COL
Iectors of internal revenue, and politics
has had nothing to do with that ex-
emption i don't believe it was either
lawful or just to have the places of
deputy collectors of internal revenue in
cluded in the classified service.
Deputy collectors of internal rev.
enue differ practically from all other
employees in any way connected with
the department. The law authorizing
the appointment of deputy collectors
of internal revenue gives the power of
deputies are responsible to the collectors
only. and not to the general govern
ment. The responsibility to the gov
ernment is through the collector re
sponsibility for which the deputy must
give bonds to the collector. The coll
lectors are responsible for the actions of
these deputies. both to the public and to
the government

STRIKING AGAIN AT BUFFALO.
Dispute Over a Truck-Load Is the Ostensi-
BILE Cause.

Buffalo. y. Y, June with the ex-
ception of a few men at the Central
freight house all the freight handlers
on the docks went on strike again at 6
o'clock last night ,2,C00 men being in
volved. The strikers held a meeting at
which il was announced that if their
grievances are not settled today the
grain shoVelers Will quit work in SYM
pathy with them. The scoopers's organ
ization was represented at the meeting
the bosses order them to put loads on
the trucks that are too heavy.
The men claimed that an agreement
existed by virtue of which they were
to carry a certain load and they would
carry no more. When the freight hand
lers. at the other docks heard of the
strike at the LehiSh freight house they
became uneasy and wanted to quit at
once. They were. however, kept a
work until p. m. when they quit in a
body. The strikers appointed a COM
mittee to wait upon tnS superintendent
of the Lehigh Valley docks and unless
they are given assurances that the
agreements as to the amount of freight
to be carried by each truck will be
adhered to. the strike will be con-
tinued.
The men claim that many non-union
men are still employed along the docks
and this seems to be the principal cause
of the present trouble.

added that if additional reinforcements
became necessary they would be prompt
ly furnished. A number OF governors
of states had advised him that they
could furnish regiments in short order
if the occasion required. But at the
same time the president expressed his
strong belief and confidence that there
would be no necessity for mastering

with the authority granted by the army

Alfred c. Webber of Lisbon Center,

of hay. about 8 inches long and inches
deep and wide, and one of the reasons
why Mr.. Webber keeps this hay in his

and put between thin pieces of boards
so that no chaff can escape, but chiefly
because the hay was cut as far back as
