COST OF LIVING HIGHER.
Figures Presented by Chicago Street
Car Employees.

Chicago, Oct. 10.-The cost of livin:,
has been discussed before the arbitra.
tion committee sitting the grievances
Of the employees of the Union Traction
company. Tables, presented in be
half of the men, showed that the price
of thirty y-seven necessary articles had
gone up and fifteen decreased. while
the street car men have worked at the
the same wages for sixteen years.
The average advance in the cost
of living was given at 40 per cent in
five years. Meats showed an at;-
vance ranging from IS to IS per cent.
House rents ran from 40 to Sc per
cent, while no estimate could be
placed on coal. The men urged that
this heavy increase in the cost of liv-
ing and the advances made in other
trades should be weighed when the
question of giving them a higher wage
scale is taken into consideration.

steamer Marianne has been chartered

conveying 1000 tons of anthracite
coal from Hamburg. which was

Brauer line is said to have purchased
10000 tons of Pennsylvania anthracite.
which has been lying at twenty differ

the coal shipped back to the United
States at once.
East Side confectionery manufacture
ers are supplying cocoanut shells 10
tenement dwellers for fuel. The
shells are sold in bags of fifty to sixty
pounds for ten or fifteen cents a bag.
The material furnishes more heat than
coal and while it does not burn as
long as coal its lasting qualities are
much better than wood.

EVANS IS CRITICISED.
Report of the G. A. r. Committee
Appointed to Investigate the
Pension Office.
Convinced That Justice to the Vet
Grams Under His Administration
Was Impossible.
Make Report Accordingly to President
Roosevelt Who Accepted His
Resignation.

Washington, Oct. 10.-Among the
Official documents presented to the
encampment Of the Grand Army of
the Republic was the report of the
committee appointed last year to in
vestigate the administration Of the
pension office by the then pension
commissioner, Hon. H. Clay Evans,
and to bring the result of the investi-
cation to the attention of the presi-
dent. The first name signed to the
report was that of General Ell Tor
rance, commander-in-chief, who stated
in his address that as soon as the re-
port was brought to President Roose-
velt's notice the resignation OF Com
missioner Evans was accepted.
The investigation was conducted in
Washington and the committee be-
gan their report by saying that Com
missioner Evans afforded them every
opportunity to make it thorough.
Speaking of the results of their in
quiry into special complaints they say
that many of these complaints were
without merit, but that on the other
hand many meritorious claims had
been thrown out.
"From a personal investigation, ;"
they say, I'VE are convinced that
scores Of claims are rejected every
day that should be allowed" The re-
sponsibility for these reflections is
| laid principally at the door of the med
ica1 division of the pension bureau.
On this point the report says:
"The dead line, or place of execu-
tion of the veterans claim, was found
in the medical division of the bureau,
| where unlimited discretion seems to
be vested, to
Ignore the Reports and Ratings
of examining surgeons and to mini
mize the soldiers disabilities"
The report closes as follows:
1--WE respectfully submit that it can
not reasonably be expected that the
pension laws will be fairly construed
and Justly administered in accordance
| with their spirit and intendment by
those who treat every applicant for a
pension with distrust, regard his al
torney as fraud and brand the exam
lining surgeons as incompetent and
dishonest.
I'VE contend that such an attitude
on the part of those intrusted with the
breaking of the alabaster box of the
nations love disqualifies them to ad.
minister so sacred trust.
"Hailing from widely separate
states of the Union and familiar with
the views of our comrades we deem
it our duty in making this report to
declare that among the survivors of
the War of the Rebellion there is an
irremovable belief and conviction that
the present commissioner of pensions
is not disposed to administer the du-
ties of his Office in that spirit of
equity and justice to applicants for
pensions which they have right to
expect and while we are actuated by
no feeling of unkindness toward the
honorable commissioner of pensions
we are convinced that justice to the
soldier is impossible of attainment
under the present administration OF
the pension bureau"
The report is dated March % last.
