day made public a statement declar-
ing the recent supplanting of Surveyor

be due to an investigation made by
that commission. This investigation
was upon complaints against the sur
veyor general and some OF his assist
ants for violation of the civil service
law by collecting political assessments
against employees of the Office The
commission states that the payments
were so regularly demanded that they
were called the dog tax, and they were
apportiOned among the clerks SO that
each had to pay one or two or three
days salary per month. as the needs
demanded. Employees paid these as
sessments irrespective of their own pO-
litical beliefs, and under both Demo-
cratic and Republican administration.
The clerks were also asked to do po-
litical work, and some of the women
in the Office were directed to go from
door to door and ask persons who were
strangers If they were registered, etc.

greeable. In addition to the retirement

WABASH LABOR
TROUBLE SETTLED

Chicago, April THE settlement of
the Wabash officials with their EN-
ployes. by which the latter get an in
crease of twelve to fifteen per cent.
in wages, is important not only be
cause it adjusts controversy that has
been hanging fire for four months, but
because of the influence it will have in
bringing settlement of wage differ
ences on competing lines. When these
competing lines shall have met the
concessions made by the Wabash. one
of the most widespread and important
labor movements in the history of the
country will be practically at an end
One of the conditions of the Wabash
settlement is that the wage schedule
east of the Mississippi shall be raised
to that west of it, twelve to fifteen
per cent. increase. as soon as compet-
ing lines in the same territory would
grant similar increases. BY this is
meant. of course, the Illinois Central
aud Alton. That the latter roads will
accede to the schedule proposed no.
