NO MORE LOBBY WORK
For Increase Of Salaries or Special Privileges by
Government Employees.

For Increase Of Salaries or Special Privileges by
Government Employees.
Under date of the 31st ult., Presi.
dent Roosevelt issued the following
order:
''All officers and employees of the
United States OF every description, serv.
ing in or under any of the executivatde-
partments, and whether so serving in'or
out of Washington, are hereby forbid
den, either directly or indirectly, indi-
vidually or through associations, to So
licit an increase of pay or to influence or
attempt to influence in their own inter
ests any legislation whatever, either be-
fore Congress, its committees, or in any
way, save through the heads of depart.
ments, in or under which they serve, on
penalty of dismissal from the govern
ment service"
This order will probably effectively
dispose OF the well-organized plan oi
the National Association OF Letter
Carriers to promote their interests by
increase of salary, shorter hours, vaca-
tions. and concessions of all sorts
whereby their labors may approach near
the condition Of sinecures as possible.
This will probably be the last year
they will be able to send lobbying
committee to Washington for the
purpose Of trying to induce the Sena-
tors and Congressman to vote to give
them an increased salary. The Presi-
dents executive order to the effect
that no one in the employ of the
United States shall be allowed to do
this, directly or indirectly, without
jeopardizing his position puts a stop
to this method for the next three
years at least.
This order means that unless the
mail carriers get what they wish at
this session Of Congress they will be
greatly hampered in after years by not
being able to have representation in
the lobbies of Congress at other ses.
sions. Their only means Of bettering
their condition will be through the
head OF their department.
When one of the men who are EN-.
ployed by the government in this ca.
pacity in Spokane was asked what ei-
feet this order would have on the in.
crease of their salaries, he admitted
that it would ef1ectually stop any ef.
fort in the line OF lobbying or infu-
ence upon the Senators and Represen
tatives. This year, however, the work
of the lobbyists from the National AS
socistion OF Letter Carriers, he said
has been accomplished, as its repre-
sentatives have already gone before the
committees and laid out their plans.
In the future, he said, nothing of this
kind could be carried on.

A MAN went into a law Office and
had paper he was required to sign.
The lawyer told him where to sign it,
and he rubbed his hands bit and
took the pen very awkwardly, but
said, "By gosh, l am cold and can't
hardly. But tell you when / am
not cold l can make as good q mark
as anybody" And he signed his
name with a little cross. Which
shows that it does not take much to
make some people proud.

Ruling of importance.

So far as can be learned on the outside,
ii seems practicaliy certain that the rep
Tcsentativcs Of The Imperial Tobacco Com
ltany i'll this city have appointed agents
OR several markets, and are making ar
engagements TO appoint others.
This is the first step in the plan OF The
Imperial TO enter the American markets as
an active competitor of the American To-
bacco Company. The nINt step will be
III the matter of locating, rehandiing cs
iablishmcns at various points. 1t is AN
ucrstood that at least one such plant will
be established here and il is reported in
this connection. that the factory lately
occupied by Mr.. Wexford c. Reed, who is
uow one of the representatives OF the I'm
pcrial. will be used for the purpose. AT
Wilson, \. c., one and probably more OF
these plants Will be located; other cities
VIII come in FOR n share.
a long-standinS contcntion between the
tobacco man and the lnicnal Revenue De-
lstlnent has been settled by a decision
rendered yesterday by Mr.. Asa Rogers,
collector for this district.
The trouble arose over tho expectation
of swceteneo tobacco stems. These stems
are exported in considerable number to
several countries in Europe and particu-
larry to Germany. Up to this time the
exporters have been forced 10 give bond
md TO have the stems inspected in the
same manner as manufactured. The to-
hacco folk objected TO this. and have at
last succeeded in getting Mr.. Rogers to
reverse the order and to write 81 letter set
ting forth his decision. in Il letter 10 Mr..
j.. *. Victor. of this city, Mr.. Rogers
fays:
In reply 10 your letters of Goth and
FIST instant, rclative TO the bonding of
stems exported in thc:c natural condition,
you are advised that You are not re-
uuircd to export stems in their natural
condition under bond. and stems taken
from tobacco after it has been swcetened
arc regarded as in their natural condition
Tor the purpose of cNportation.'

Ibis city yesterday We're the following:

hacco Board OF Trade of LSnchburg: Mr..

Afternoon Session.

The afternoon session was devoted OK
clusively to speech making. Mr.. Wysor
made Il much more pacific speech in OPP
posing the compromise plan than was

treme position taken by Mr.. Meredith.
Mr.. Br;ixton made the ustal arguments
heard against the understanding feature
of any plan, and did not advocate the

BY himself.

stir things up in a lively manner. lie
called the roll Of those VINO voted against
tho temporary understanding clause
when it was up against the permanent
understanding clause. and claimed that
Messrs. Meredith. Robertson, Dunnaway.
BraXton and others. who were now oppos-
ing the compromise plan. were really re-
sponsible for the defeat of the ther
plan, and by their votes had driven mem-
hers to the compromise. and were :ellly
responsible for It This brouShct each
one of those Sentlement to their 9est. and
they strongly objected to being put in
any such attitude. claiming that they
were not in favor of a permanent uider-
standing clause, but voted as they did to
kill Off the understanding principle of
both plans.
Mr.. Glass was proceeding to elaborate
on this idea of the .'dissenters" being
RESPONSIBLE for the COMPROMISE. when the
conference took a recess until today.
when he will conclude his speech.
Messrs. Daniel and Thorn are expected
to defend the compromise plan this
morning.
