This last letter, it seems, was a for
gerry, for Mrs. Fay wrote the Sun next
day and demanded an apology and re-
traction saying:
Il am shocked beyond expression at
finding in The Sun of this morning a
letter over my signature containing
sentiments so brutal and suggestions SO
gross as to be by me or any other reput-
able woman not only unwritable to a

The Sun apologies editorially and
thinks the purpose of the forger. who
would probably call himself or herself

to reduce to an absurdity the argu-
ment of Mrs. Peirce in genuine letter
from her printed by us on the 9th of last

Mrs. PIERCE adds in her letter that
she is preparing careful statement of

The Liquor Dealers Suit.

A subscriber writes: "a misapprehen-
sion has arisen as to the suit for recov-
cry of liquor license taxes now pending
in Wake Superior court The suit is not
to recover taxes paid to the city during
local option days, as has been stated. The
liquor, you will perhaps remember, sold
during local option was one mile from
the city limits and not in Raleigh town
ship All the saloon keepers want is to re-
cover the amounts they were illegally
forced to pay to the city for doing
business outside of the city limits This
money went into the city treasury, and
we contend that it should be refunded as
the city collected it without authority of
law. The Legislature of 1901, seeing the
justice of our cause, passed an act re-
curing the refunding Of all monies paid
outside of city limits for selling liquor

Six Are to be Established in
Wake County.
An Official Of the Pos!ofice Department Here
10 Survey Them. The Good Work Of
Congressman Pou.

At last it begins to look as if the people
of the Fourth district are to get some
much needed rural free delivery routes.
Since his election, Congressman Pcu has
been making efforts to have number of
them established, and yesterday Mr.. Will
ment, arrived here for the purpose of
surveying the proposed routes ana laying
off such as it is deemed practicable to
establish.
II have in the district, nineteen petit
tions for rural free delivery routes.' said
Congressman Pou. who is here to go with
Mr.. Barr over the proposed routes, land
l am doing my best to get every one Of
them. am sure most of them are needed
and will be established. We will survey
those in Wake first then go to Johnston,
Nash, Franklin, Vance, Chatham and
Randolph
There are six petitions for routes in
Wake of which two are from Raleigh
one south into Middle Creek township, by
w. H. Strains place, and the other north
east, toward Wakefield by Allen Marsh
burns The other four are: Two from
Garner.
When rural free delivery routes were
first established by the Postoffice Depart
ment they were made thirty miles in
length They have now been cut down 10
twenty miles, it being found that thirty
miles is too long for good service, es-
pecially in bad weather. Experience has
shown, it is claimed, that carrier who
can make his twenty miles daily in six
hours cannot make the thirty miles in
much less than twelve hours.
Mr. Pou thinks the routes will be in OPP
Grafton within three weeks after they are
surveyed; the only thing then being left
to do is the appointment and bonding of
the carriers. Half of these, it is under
stood, will be named by Mr. Pou and half
by Senator Pritchard, but nobody that is
personally Objectionable to either of them
will be appointed
Rural free delivery routes are great
convenience to the people and the extern
sssion of the system in North Carolina is
greatly to be desired, not only in the
Fourth district but all over North Caro-
lima.
1.-THE establishment of the routes new
proposed" Mr.. Pou said yesterday,
would result in the abolition of a num-
Der of star routes, but no postoffices will
for the present be discontinued. Many of
these cannot be conveniently dispensed
with until the country is hOneycOmbcd
with free delivery, routes, SO that nearly
every man may find postofflce at his
door"
Mr.. Barr yesterday went over the
Wakefield route and expects to go owe.
one route day till they are completed
Mr. Barr came here from Congressman
Swanson's district, where forty routes are
laid out. but none are in operation. as
no carriers have been appointed owing
to a fight over the places between Mr..
Swanson and Senator Pritchard.

(By the Associated Press)
birmingham, Ala, August 14.-At to-
| days session of the annual convention
of the international Typographical I'm
| ion, consideration of the report of the
Laws Committee, was continued. An
amendment offered by President Lynch,
relative to the manner of appealing de-
cisions of a subordinate union was
| adopted. The appeal is first to be sub
mitted to the president, except where
allied crafts are organized as district
trade unions. The aggrieved party can
appeal from the presidents decision to
the executive council and finally to the
international body. 1t was decided to
pay the president and secretary treas
urer $1,000 each annually, with travel
ling expenses added.
Delegate Cutting, Of Boston, proposed
a resolution prohibiting any member
of the union becoming member of the
national guard or other military organ
iZations. This gave rise to an animated
debate. Delegate Nichols, of Baltimore,
said that if the militia were not organ
lied among the friends of labor it will
be organized among the enemies.
One delegate shouted: Would it be
good policy for us to declare ourselves
against the government of our coun-
try?'
Finally the whole proposition was
tabled.
Cincinnati was unanimously chosen
for the convention of 102.

VICTORIES FOR BOTH SIDES,
Steel Men Start up Mills. The Strikers Close {
Great Plant
(By Associated Press.)


Pittsburg. Pa, August 14.-There were
victories on both sides of the great stee
strike today, but they furnish no direct
forecast of the ultimate result OF the
conflict "a
The strikers succeeded in finally fore
ing the National Tube Works at McKees-
port probably the largest individual plant
in the United States Steel Corporation, to
close down. On the other hand the Steel
Corporation opened the big Painter
Mill in this city and also resumed opera
lions with non union men at the Cres-
cent Plant of the American Tin Plate
Company at Cleveland.
Two mills were on at the Painter plant.
although one of them broke down during
the day and, according to the statement
of the officials half the mills in the Ores
cent Plant were moving. The forces at
both the plants named are to be increased
and the managers claim they will soon
have them working in full
They make the fifth and sixth plants
which the Steel Corporation has succeed
ed in starting with nom union men, the
others being Wellsville, Hyde Park,
Clarks and Lindsay and McCutcheon.
There was a great labor demonstration
at Wheeling today and President ShaHer
made a stirring appeal to his followers
to fight on. In an interview before ne
terGflrenNBSenhgville etashr tahrd taa
spoke he said tht If the Western lodges
did not heed the final appeal of Assistant
Secretary M. f. Tibhe and come out
they would be Expelled from the Amalga-
mated Association and their offers of
financial assistance spurned.
There we've few other DEVELOPMENTS Of
importance during the day. Locally the
strike seems TO- drag and, interest to flag.
Large. numbers Of the strikers have gone
away either for recreation or, to work
and there has been scarcely any excite
ment much less disorder. McKeesport
and Wheeling are stirred up periodically.
but there has been no violence at either
place.
Rumor again today settled the strike
and lent hand to restart the stilled
mills of commerce. 1t was rlated that
President Shaffer had acknowledged that
he could not win, that the Steel Corpor-
alton feared that its rivals would profit
by an extended strike, and that they were
going to settle. No shadow of conhrma-
tion of the story was possible.
The general situation is thus GRIZZLY
summarized
The spread of the strike at McKees-
port and Wheeling has brought the num-
Der of men who answered the final strike
order to something over 10000, and in
creased the total number of men render
d idle by the three orders to about 81, 900.
Many of the men drawn into the move
ment willingly or unwillingly continue to
accept other employment and the exact
number now idle is a guess. The strik-
