ENGINEERS ADMITTED
LOCAL ASSOCIATION JOINS CEN
TRIAL LABOR UNION.
Action on Proposition for Increase in
Pay of Letter Carriers-other
Matters Considered.

After an extended and animated discus
sion, at the meeting Of the Central Labor
Union last evening, Steam Engineers AS
ISOLATION, No. 80, was admitted to aff1lia-
ton and the delegates obligated This or
ganization which applied for admission to
the central body several weeks ago, was
rejected, it is said, for the reason that
number of the members maintained an or
ganiZatfon known Eccentric Engineers,
knights of Labor. Since then, it is stated,
the organization has surrendered its char
ter to District Assembly, No. GO, and has
withdrawn from the Knights of Labor,
thus removing the objection to its admiS-
sion to the Central Labor Union.
The "walk-out" last Saturday of the
members of number of building trades
on several buildings in course of construc-
ton In the interest of the striking plumb
erS was Endorsed.
A communication, which was referred to
the legislative committee, was read from
the Central Federated Union of New York
city, requesting that Congress be pettioned
for the passage of a bill introduced by
Representative William Alden Smith to in
crease the pay of letter carriers. The bill
proposes that after next June, in cities OF
more than 5000 population, the pay Of let
ter carriers for the first year Of service
shall be $500 for the second year, $500; for
the third year, $1,000, and for the fourth
a population under 10000, for the first
year of service, $500 second year. $500; for
the third year and thereafter, $1,000.
The Maximum Salary.
The communication states:
The present maximum salary of letter
carriers is the same it was nearly forty
years ago, when the free delivery service
was established, although there has been
steady rise in wages in other lines of en-
ployment made necessary by the higher
standard of living which obtains among the
middle class of people today compared
with the standard of forty years ago, and
also because of a disposition on the part
of employers of labor to give their employ
eS more equitable compenSa ton from the
product of their labor.
The maximum pay Of a regular carrier
Is $1,000 per annum; few men earn this
amount, as all time lost through sickness
and other causes is deducted from this sal
airy. Many people imagine that carriers
So They receive no allowance from the
government when sick or disabled, even II
disabled in the performance of duty, and
when they become superannuated they
must depend on the charity of relatives, as
there is no pension other provision made
for them

Result of a Kind Deed.

Several years ago, when Rev. E. q.
Pusey, pastor Of Polkton circuit, lived
at his native home in Warren county,
there once came a tramp to his house
and spent the night. With the tramp
was his little son about ten years
old. At night Mr.. Pusey asked the
little boy if he didn't want to stay
there with them and try to make
something of himself, but the little fell
low gave a negative reply. But the
next morning he reconsidered and de-
cided to stay and make it his home.
He was taken to a branch and given a
thorough bathing and provided with
clean clothing. He was sent to the
neighborhood schools where he acquir-
ed a little education. That boy is now
Andrew S. Burke, Professor Of Dentis-
try in the University of Pennsylvania.
He came to Polkton a few days G on
a visit to Mr.. Pussy. There is a good
lesson in this sketch to the boy who
complains hat his opportunities are

The Danish West Indies.

Senator Cullom's views OF the Danish
treaty iasco are telegraphed from
Washington in the form of an interview
He says that we shall eventually buy
the islands, but that in no case shall we
give more tina $1,000, 900 for them. That
means simply that as long as Mr.. Cut
lom himself remains in the senate he
will be in favor of buying them and will
be opposed to paying more than the sum
named. But if the islands are really
important to US on account of the 18TH
milan canal, or for any other reason.
why should we haggle over such L
trifing sum? We are going to spend
somewhere from 800. 000, 900 to $200, 900,
600 in building the anal We say that
the Danish islands are necessary. or at
all events very important TO US as q
pou sto for protecting it against EU-
ropean aggression, but that not one
dime will We give for them beyond S.
coo, 900. Either the Importance of the
islands to US has been much
ed in the official outgiyings from Wash
ington, or he senator must have had a
very parsimonious turn when he was
interviewed. Anyhow, he says, we shall
not allow anybody else to acquire the
island We agree to that, and ga one
step farther We will enter into stipu-
lations that no other nation shall at
tempt TO acquire them. and We VIII not
charge more in the way of premium for
our guarantee than the annual outlay
