MNHSIEMFOR POSTMEA
ST. PAUL LETTER CARRIERS DI.
VIDED IN OPINION ON EIGHT
a" HOUR RULE
DOES AWAY WITH OVERTIME
Schedule Adopted Yesterday Is More
ENacting In Some Respects
Was in Force Years

The letter carriers Of St. Paul and Of
all the cities uof the country went to
work yesterday upon the old eight-hour
schedule which Was in force for twelve
years PRIOR to July l, 1860 At that time
a law was adopted which allowed the
carriers to work overtime and required
them to- Tut in but forty-eight hours Il
week. This was the rule under which
they worked last year, and was very
satisfactory to all the carriers. This law
went out of effect June 80, and the old
eight-hCur law took it's place.
The carriers of st. Paul are divided in
their opinions as to the effect of the
law. Some think that the new system
will be more satisfactory than the old,
and others prefer the fortyeight- hour
schedule Under the new schedule the
carrier will have to be at the office at a
certain time, and if he fails will be liable
to suspension and perhaps removal from
the force. If he Is unable to deliver all
his mail in the eight hours he will bring
back to the Office that which he has
been unable to deliver Under this rule
there is no excuse for a carriers being
late.
When the forty-eight- schedule
was in force the carrier would deliver
all the mail he had, even though 1t re-
quired a few minutes overtime. All that
was required of him was to make up
for the overtime by cutting some other
day Of the week enough short so as to
make total of forty eight hours for Ne
week. In some cities this may have
made quite a difference to the carriers,
but in st. Paul it had little effect. Here
the routes are so divided that the car
rier is able to deliver his mail in the al
lotted eight hours.
Henry ]. Hadlich, superintendent OF
delivery in st. Paul. informed the
G o e that he thought the eight-hour
system would be just as satisfactory to
the carriers here as was the old system
of working forty-eight hours a week
When asked if by working overtime the
carriers We're not able to get Saturday
afternoon off, he said that such a prac-
tice had never been observed here. The
routes were So, divided that a carrier
was able to get but few minutes Of
overtime each week, and few minutes
will not go far toward a half holiday

BANIZ GETS TWO PLUNS
BOARD OF ABATEMENT AND CITY
HALL AND COURT HOUSE
COMMISSION
FORGIVEN BY ASSOCIATES
Men He Turned Down Relent and
Vote for His SeIectiOn-Others
Who Were Ap-
pointed.

Board of equalization and abatement
-Assemblymen Whitcomb, Denny; AL
dermen Dobner, BantZ.
City hall and court house commission
-AssembIyman Haas; Aldermen Hunt,
Bantz.
This is a partial personnel Of the two
boards, which, for the past two weeks,
have been considerable source of anX-
iety for a number who had banker
ing to serve the city and county at SO
per day. The selections were made last
night at a meeting of the joint bodies,
and, while the vote which made them
fixtures for a year was devoid of sensa-
tional features, two caucuses were neces-
sary before the winners were picked.
With the Democrats clearly in the
majority, a chance for the Republican
members to break in seemed impossible,
but hoping for some disaffection by rea-
son of rumOrs regarding Messrs Bantz
and Hunt, they held a caucus. Assem-
blyman Benson asked to be made the
nominee and his wish was acceded to,
but, in the election which followed, he
was numerically knitted by his own
brethren, only six members respecting
his desires in the matter Their vote
was divided between Denny, who was
on the Democratic slate, and Assembly
men Nelson and Wheeler.
The board of abatement, as named,
was agreed upon in caucus by the Demo-
Gratis, and in the secret ballot, which was
taken at the full! meeting, not a vote
went astray. Some comment was caused
by Aldermen Hunt and Bantz entering
the Democratic caucus, their refusal to
partic pate in past affairs placing them
on record with the two bodies as OPP
posed to such restrictions.
In the secret ballot which was taken
Assemblymen Wnitcomb and Denny
each received sixteen votes; Aldermen
Dobner and Bantz. each II; Alderman
Hunt, 3; Asscmblyman Wheeler, 9;
Assemblyman Nelson, l. and Assembly
man Benson, 6.
The selection Of the city end of the
city hall and court house commission
was made by President Schiffmann at the
close of the meeting, and came somewhat
as a surprise, owing to the fact that AL
derman Bantz had pulled down two
choice plums, being named on both
boards.
To the vacancy left by tine resignation
OF Justice OF the Peace Blackwell, Of
the Eleventh ward, Erick Olson was ap-
pointed. He was the only candidate and
his election was unanimous.

BUSY DAY FOR TIE CLERKS
HEVENUE OFFICE IN ST. PAUL
OPENED YESTERDAY
AT A. NJ.
LOCAL CLAIMS REACH $500, 900
For Many Days the Department
Will Be Very Busy as
Result of the
Change.

Many Of the troubles of the young
person unfGrliil- with tusIrt SIS are
over. For instance, when she writes out
a check hereafter she VIII no longer
be reproved for her forgetfulness in
falling to affix thereto that little re-
hinder Of the late unpleasan;ness with
Spain, the revenue stamp. But with the
passing of the revenue stamp and a gem
eral reduction in war taxes, the troubles
OF some other people have just begun.
The change went into effect just after
midnight, July l. and since all the old
beer and cigar stamps had to be re-
called and new ones issued the revenue
employees at the federal building were
exceedingly busy yesterday, and will be
busy for some time to come. Yester-
day morning the office opened at
o'clock in order to enable the local brew
ers to sell beer during the day. Two new
clerks have been engaged for a. month
by the internal revenue Office, ]. w.
Nash, of Minneapolis, and Otto Helm
bach, of st. Paul.
1t Is estimated that thu government
will lose a revenue of $45 100000 year by
the removal of the revenue stamp on
bank checks, drafts and telegraph mes
sages. Those holding over 81 worth Of
the revenue stamps will have an oppor-
tunity to have them redeemed by making
an affidavit and filing it with the internal
revenue officer of the district, stating
from whom the stamps were purchased,
accompanied also by an affidavit of the
first purchaser of the stamps. The
papers will be forwarded to Washington
and in the course Of a year or so re-
turns may be obtained, but naturally
the process is a laboriouS one and no
doubt at least s2,5OO,COO of stamps now in
the hands Of purchasers will never be re-
deemed and the United States will be
ahead just that much. 1t is estimated
that there are between 5000 and 4,000
claims in Minnesota alone, amounting in
all, perhaps, to $SGO,OO0 Owners Of print
ed checks and drafts must forward them
to the commissioner of internal rev.
enue at their own expense. In the case
of cigars, the tax on which has been
reduced from $3.50 per LOCO to SO, dealers
will be allowed rebate on all unbroken
boxes

had been called in, and the two legatecs
only were witnesses, they attaching their
names to the remarkable document. The
