for the purpose of providing insurance,
or of fraternal character, but are m
tended to place the employees in position
to insist upon an increase in wages paid
them proportionate to the increases all
ready granted employees in other
branches of the service.
Report has it that the railroads are
not opposing the movement at this
time. and have not manifested hostility
toward it. There is one express COM
pany. tho, that has made objection and
has threatened to replace its employees

Worried Over Her Disappearance.
Carbon, Feb. 19.-The relatives here
of Mrs. McCabe. who has been in the
west for some time, are considerably
worried about her whereabouts. In the
early part of December they had word
from her that she contemplated starting
home from Seattle about the goth of
that month and that little girl would
accompany her. She expected to come
by the Southern Pacific route. Word
has been received that she left there
about a week before Christmas, and
since then nothing has been heard from
