WORK OF CONVENTION
ACTION ON RETIREMENT FUND
DEFERRED BY LETTER CAR
RIERS' ASSOCIATION.

ACTION ON RETIREMENT FUND
DEFERRED BY LETTER CAR
RIERS' ASSOCIATION.
Scranton, Sept There was a live
ly discussion at yesterdays session Of
the National Letter Carriers Associa-
tion, caused by the introduction OF a
4.h calling for the appointment Of a
committee to Immediately draft a bill
creating a retirement fund
Delegate Kelly, Of New York, ar
gued that this is not the time to handle
the question Of creating retirement
fund. The equalization Of salaries, he
held, is the most important matter in
hand now. The bill equalizing salar-
les will probably pass by February. he
said; then the question Of a retiring
fund can be brought up and the en-
ergies Of the association devoted to it.
Mr. Kelly remarked that so far as he
had heard, the retirement bill contem-
plated deduction OF per cent. from
the salaries of carriers. He figured
that 2 per cent would not be suffl-
cient.
The resolution was defeated, and il
was decided to appoint a committee to
report a bill to the convention in 1900.
A resolution that was approved pro-
vides for grading substitute letter car
riers It makes the proyisionary period,
before the substitute can be made a
regular, as six months. his salary then
becoming 5000 II he is made regular.
If, at the end Of year. he is not ap-
pointed a regular. he is advanced to the.
second grade. and at the end of two
years, il not a regular, to a still higher
grade.
The legislative committee was direct
ed to consider the advisability Of re-
Questing the Postal Department to per-
nit carriers to wear lighter summer
uniforms than are at present pre-
scribed. A resolution offered by the
Iowa delegation that carriers buy only
uniforms made by union labor was
adopted.
Mr.. Quinn read a resolution propos-
ing the appointment of a committee
which will cooperate with a commit
tee Of the Post Office Clerks and Rail-
way Postal Clerks Association to secure
legislation favorable to the latter. This
was adopted, as was a resolution en-
dorsing the bill proposing equalization
81 salary at $1,000 a year.
A resolution was read reviewing
Dewey's achievements at Manila bay,
and the Philippine question, and de-
claring that the National Association
Of Letter Carriers would support the
policy of the president and encourage
the putting down Of the rebellion. The
delegates almost unanimously depre-
Gated the resolution as an effort to in
troduce politics into the convention
and voted it down, the Albany delega-
tlon from which the resolution came,
joining in the overwhelming defeat Of
the measure. The matter was ordered
expunged from the records.
Delegate Carey read a bill regulating
the salaries Of letter carriers and of
substitute carriers after June, 1900,
which was referred to the committee
on legislation.
NJ. J. Connors, OF Chicago, treasurer
of the association, submitted his annual
report, showing receipts, l99S7OS;
disbursements, s16,44776.

PROGRESS,

True progress in art, civilization, ro-
ligion, morals and law abiding seuti-
ments, in fact in all nature and art is
accomplished by constant growth, oul-
turc and development, The means and
motive power Of progress must be CON,
sistent and concentrated, not ditfusive
nor applied contrariwise Reform in
public sentiment comes from long con-
tinued and consistent efforts, we'll dircc-
ted, united, harmonious and conciliatory,
Like reform in individual lives it does
not come by way of instantaneous trans
formation. No individual can be sud
denly transformed and all his molina
tions turned at once from debasing cur,
rents to those of purity. And when one
suddenly turns outwardly from old and
demoralizing ways and treats old assaci
ates with intolerance and contempt be
sure that such person is simply despising
what he himself has heop and what he
is quite likely to be again Reform,
Improvement and individual progress
comes from steady, gradual practice
and clacation from practical wearing
away of old tendencies and habits and
the substitution Of good ones for the bad.

Thanksgiving Proclamation

Gov. Z. {. Smith has issued the fol
lowing Thanksgiving proclamation -
The dawn Of 4 new day, the blending
OF the death Of night into the life and
freshness OF morning isa period OF beau
iiful sentiment and quiet reflection, and
furnishes the imagery for poets song;
the crumh.ing Of the old year, and the
breaking forth Of the new, the fading
memory OF the ambitions, the struggles
the failures, the triumphS, OF year
that has gone, dissolving into the vision
Of bright hopes and expectations of a
twelve months that are to come, is Il
period trimming with sober. serious
thought, and furnishes the impulses, the
resolutions, the plans that, successfully
carried out, or as failures, fashion the
character aud destiny Of individuals ;
but the majestic sweep of one century
into another, the swirl from hundred
wears to hundred years, is a period that
makes epochs in the affairs of the ma
ton of the earth and reveals the relation
of the past to the future. Looking over
the years from near the end Of this cen.
fury towards its beginning, one can
: mark the expansion and development OF
the wasting away and decay of the Ma
tons, and see the expression of that law
of the Almighty which is life.
At this period, when the year 1899 is
running out its days, when the old cen
fury is nearing its end, and the glowing
dawn of the new is already breaking
with radiant promise of great events in
the sky of the future; when our Govern
mcnt and it's Army and Navy hav,
spread abroad the splendid possibilities
OF our Nations greatness, the day OF
Thanksgiving OF 1899 takes on a new
and broader meaning than the day ha.
ever had before,
1t is our duty to be mindful of it all
and to take cognizance Of the relation Of
things as they exist today.
Therefore designate Thursday, the
30th day of November, 1899, as a day Of
thanksgiving and reflection, and recon-
mOnd that We, the people OF this State
assemble in our places Of worship to ex
press our appreciation of, and gratitude
for the blessings that have come TO us
to acknowledge tho obligation that the
wonderful new development of on,
country has placed upon us all. and tc
ask for strength to live up to the full
nature and now measure of true Amori
