RAISE FOR MAIL CLERKS
Those Running Out of Rock Island VIII
Share the Benefits.

Under the provisions of bill
passed by the last session of congress
pertaining to the reorganization of
the railway mail service. railway mail
clerks are getting an increase in sal
airy.
The salary attached to the position
of mail clerk of class = is 5000: that
of class ,, $1,000. and that of class 4.
81 200. Promotions are based on eX-
aminations and the general character
of the work done. There is still an
other class of mail clerks known as
class ;. to which attaches a salary
of $4,000. Following is the basis
under which promotions to this class
occur:
Two cars to a train. one clerk at
81 300 per annum TO each crew to he
in charge of the second car under the
direction of the clerk in charge. y
crew to consist of not fewer than
three clerks to each car.
Three cars or more to train, one
clerk of $1,000 per. annurh to each
car, including the first car. The
clerk i'm this class To he actually en-
ployed in the car TO which assigned
and To be in charge of the same I'M
der the general direction of the clerk
in charge.
There must be at least three clerks
10 the crew for each car, but it is not
necessary that the clerks be actually
employed in each car. Where the
number of clerks to crew does not
equal three to each car i'm the train
the crew will be organized on the ba-
sis of the number of ears which the
train would be entitled on the basis
of three clerks to car.
Only on the larger lines. such as
me Boston and Albany, Omaha and
Ogden. etc. does the second para
graph of this section apply, that is
only on such lines as there are three
mail cars or more to train. On
comparatively few lines are there
two mail cars to a train.
1t is understood that the railway
mail clerks running out of Rock Is
land will receive an advance with
the others in due course of time, the
arrangements having not yet been
completed for putting the new scale
into effect.

Democrats throughout the lower
end of this congressional district

city the honor to mention his name
together with those of Hon. Guy
&C. Scott, of Aledo, and Hon. Tom
Marshall, of Keithsburg, in connec-
ton with the democratic congress
sional nomination. Mr.. Hurst an

hope is expressed that he may yet
reconsider his position in the matter.

DIR ANTHONY NOT AFTER
COLONELCY OF SIXTH

The report that has been circulated
for the last couple of days in militia
circles in Sterling that DR.. Frank
Anthony, eX-surgeon of the Sixth IL
linois, would be a candidate for the
office of colonel of the regiment is
entirely without foundation. DIR. An
thony was interviewed by a reporter
on the subject and entered an em-
phatic denial that he has any such as
pirations. As is generally known
Major Anthony resigned from the
service some time ago and in his pres
ent status would not be eligible to
the place.
He also stated most emphatically
that he does not intend. to reenter
the service. which takes up too much
of his time from his practice.

NO MONEY NEEDED
Claimed No Loan Will be Re-
quired in Reorganization
OF Rock Island.
PLAN FAIR FOR ALL STOCKHOLDERS
Result of Conference of Executive
Committee is Kepta
Secret.

The following statement was given
out from the New York office of the
Rock Island road last evening con-
corning the reorganization now un-
der discussion at the meeting of the
executive committee: 1t may be Of
ficially stated that under the plan of
reorganization of the Rock Island
road neither banks, trust companies,
nor underwriting syndicates will be
required to furnish any money. There
will be no commission to under
writers. Every shareholder, small or
large, will receive the same benefits.
For its present plan the road does
not need any money. The new stock
which each shareholder has the priv
ilege of subscribing for, 12H per cent
of his holdings at par, will furnish
all the money needed for its present
plans. The shareholders alone are
interested and will receive all the
benefits and bonuses.
President Leeds Noncommunieative.
President w. Il. Leeds said after the
conference with the members of the
executive committee: There is re
ally nothing to be given TO the pub
adjustment plan. but things are not
in, shape for publication"
There are those in Wall street who
believe that a part at least of the
unfriendly comment on the MOores
and their Rock Island recapitaliza-
ton plan originated in quarters cor
dial to the Goulds. This talk does
not go so far as To charge the Goulds
with being directly responsible for
the attack on the Moores. but il is
well known that the two interests are
antagonistic.
Competition for Missouri Pacific.
The Rock Island. with its recent
additions of extensions. parallels
Gould's Missouri Pacific. and when it
completes the alliance with the
| Frisco road great system will be
under one management which will
tap the Missouri Pacific on every
side and at every important point.
The Moores held the Goulds respon-
sible for the failure of the Diamond
match deal. and the great match mo-
Inopoly which was built up by the
Moore Bros. and their associates long
since passed under the control of
Edwin Gould and his immediate
Friends.
