During the fiscal year which ended
on June 30 last 341,711 foreigners en-

most of the newcomers are from south

CARRIERS DON'T LIKE IT.
Think They'll Get the Worst of 1t
Prom n Now Inv

The mail carriers are not looking for
ward to July with any great degree Of
pleasure, owing to the fact that on that
date they begin working under a new sys-
tenn Of hours.
Heretofore the carriers were allowed to
work but eight hours a day, and the post
masters claim that this hindered their
work to considerable extent, for a car
rier was frequently obliged to leave one
or two blocks Of his route uncovered in
order to be back in the office on time to
quit
To do away with this feature, at the
last national convention of postmasters,
held in Washington last fall, bill was
Prepared to be presented to congress, pro-
Viding that The carriers could work forty
eight hours a week, which would allow
them to work as many hours a day as
was necessary, provided the maximum
was torty-eight hours a week. The bill
was passed and goes into effect July l.
From the start the carriers objected to
the bill, and now they are not at all
pleased with their prospects Their claim
against the change is that they will have
five days and then be laid off and a sub"
put on their route, the Sub receiving
considerably less than the regular man.
The point they object to most is that in
their opinion, the bill provides that a car
rier shall work forty-eight hours during
SIX days, and the time they shall work on
Sunday IS left entirely with the local post
master.

When seen yesterday regarding the
article in question, Capt. E. N Jones,
commanding officer at Fort Smelling,
said:
The matter Is scarcely worth wasting
breath over but 1 will say that 1 have
been in the service for fourteen years,
and during that time have never known
a garrison where less drinking was done
than at Fort Smelling. The writer evil
IDENTIFY knew nothing of what he was talk
ing about.
Regarding the story of a dispute be-
tween the officers of this post will say
that 1t is absolutely false and malicious
that it is made entirely out of whole
cloth. The guard was placed at the en-
trance of the bridge for what appeared
to the officers good and sufficient rea-
son, and it was taken away for the same
reason. 1 do not consider 1t necessary
to have a guard at that point at present,
but if I did 1 should place one there
in ten minutes. There was no row and
no correspondence on the subject.
