ing yesterday afternoon at Bridgeport

all the officers being present. There
was little business transacted. as there
was nothing special before the union

John III. johnson, financial secretary,

The milk mems trouble at Martins
Ferry was talked over but nothing new
was brought out. Ex-President Charles
James was present and made very
interesting address to the delegates
He said that since he had left this
union the largest trust ever formed in
the world had been consummated, and
that capital was forming a strong or
ganisation and terrifying itself, but
that he was sorry to say that he could
not say the same for the different
labor organizations. but that he trust
ed that they would become more ac-
tive, and if the time came when they
needed to show their strength that
they would be prepared. Mr.. James
spoke at some length and received
close attention.
President Powell, of the tin workers
lodge, was to be present and address
the union, but was not able to be pres
emit. There being no other business,
the body adjourned.

NOTE FROM PosToFF1CE

Delay In delivery OF mail Is caused by
carriers being obliged to walt, sometimes
an unreasonable time, for door bells to be
answered. A wait of one minute each at
thirty doors causes delay OF one half
hour in the delivery OF mail TO people on
the latter end of the route.
By providing door letter boxes or
having aDertures in the doors through
which mail could be delivered this delay
would be avoided. A part Of the time
now lost wouid be saved II bells were
promptly answered.
1t has become necessary to issue In
structions to the carriers thst this waste
OF time must be avoided, and when bells
are not answered within Q. reasonable
time the Instructions are to return the
mail TO the postofiioe for delivery ON the
next trip.

had ever listened to in his long experi-
ence on the stage. Mr. Barry was at
once captivated by :t, so much so that
before he left Portland he entered Into
an agreement with the author for the
production OF Ambition at the star

desirs to substitute Ambition" for
''The Rising Generation" which he was
then playing, but stated that his oompa-
