OF RECENT WAGE CON-
FERENCE.
President of Union Pacific Says II Goes
to Show that Road Feels that Men
Are Worthy Of the Increase-RaiI-
road Notes and Personals.

President Burt is thus quoted by yes
terday's Omaha Bee:
THE settlement the Union Pacific
has made with it's trainmen and con-
ductors speaks for itself. We are well
satisfied with the outcome of the con-
ference. The terms Of the settlement,
~ ger cent increase in the wages OF the
passenger trainmen and conductors,
and Is per cent in those of the freight
trainmen and conductors, is an indica-
ton of my sentiments and those of the
road. 1t goes to show that we feel that
the men are worthy of an increase. If
they had not been they would not been
granted the concessions. The most
pleasant of relations existed during the
entire period that the matter was under
consideration and at no time was there
any serious disagreement between the
company and the committee members"
The members of the committee are
as pleased with the results as Mr.. Burt
is and they are all making preparations
to return home, feeling well satisfied
with the outcome of their labors. Mr..
Mecomber, general chairman Of the
joint committee voiced the sentiments
of the entire committee when he said:

DEMOCRATS As KNOCKERS.
Senator Morsan's Plan Would XIII
Panama Canal.

Washington, D. c., March 1O.-When
Senator Hanna vas asked concerning
his opinion Of the reported democratic
plan to amend the Columbian treaty,
he replied:
Il do not know the plans Of the dem
~ocrats. but l understand that some of
them are going to follow the leadership
of Senator Morgan and try to amend
the treaty. If any such an amendment
were made it would have the absolute
effect OF killing the bill, for the reason
that the constitution of Colombia pre-
vents the alienation Of territory. and
if the senate amended the treaty a con
stitutional amendment would be neces.
before it could be ratified"
Mr.. Hanna also said that he did not
believe that the democrats would at.
tempt to defeat the treaty. as they
would not care to accept the responsi-
bility of defeating it and SO preventing
the building Of the road.

RURALCARR|ERS'P
EFFORT o4e1&AApa.A At NEXT
SESSION OF CONGRESS TO GET
INCREASE.
Highest Now Allowed is Six Hundred
Dollars, and Out Of this They Must
Pay for Their Wagon and Harness
and Keep from One to Four
Horses.

Washington, D. c., March 10.-Ef-
forts will be made at the next ses-
sion of congress to increase salaries
of rural free delivery carriers and al
ready a movement is on foot to crys-
tallize action in regard to that matter.
| While the carriers themselves are bar
red by reason of the rules of the Post
Office department from actively solicit
ing aid to increase their salaries, news-
papers devoted to the rural free deliv-
cry service are being established all
over the country and these papers pro-
pose to undertake the work of secur-
ing an increase in the salaries forthese
carriers. The highest pay rural car
riers now receive is $500 per annum
Out of this amount he must pay for his
wagon and harness and keep from n
to four horses. The average trip is
about twenty-one miles a day. 1t is
stated that the life of a horse in this
service over country roads in all sorts
of weather is not more than three years
and that the price of keeping a horse
in many parts of the country is $40 per
month, or $240 a year. From statistics
which have been received regarding
the keep" of a horse the lowest cost
reported is So a month. This leaves
the best paid carrier from $3.50 down
to $500 a year. Those receiving $500
or $500 have proportionately less, and
consequently many carriers, finding
that they could not earn more than 80
cents a day clear. have resigned, and it
therefore becomes plain that to keep
up the efficiency of the service 1t
salaries Of this growing army Of men
who are doing much to bring the u
try in touch with the city.
While it is true the rural carrier may
not have as heavy work to perform as
the city carrier, it is also true that the
pay is disproportionate 10 the service
rendered. The city carrier receives
from $500 to $1,000, without the cost of
keeping a team, and when the distance
that the rural carrier has to travel in
contrast to the city carrier is consider
ed there seems to be simple justice
back Of the demands of the rural car
riers for an increase in salary in order
that the service may be kept at its pre-
sent high standard Of efficiency.
There are now $500 carriers ap-
pointed in the United States and. &C.
cording to Superintendent Machen's re.
port made in June, 1902, this number
viii be swelled to 10000 within three
years. While the beginnings Of rural
free delivery were purely experimental
the service has grown entirely outside

A special meeting of the city council
was held last night, a large number of
the leading citizens of the city being
present, when the question of The pur-
chase of a site for the Carnegie library
was discussed and the matter referred
to the committee on finance of the
council, Messrs. Gates, Phillips and
Tefrt, to be reported at the meeting to
be held a week hence.
The attendance of citizens was not
only large, but the unanimity of senti-
ment was quite marked, not only that
the council should appropriate the
money, but that the site at the corner
of Fourth and Grand avenue, known
as the Wanless corner, should be Sc
lected upon which to erect the build
ing.
The opposition to the selection of the
site came mostly from Mr.. Stickney,
who objected to the price. $500, and
also to the appropriation of the money
by the council. He said a site could
be bought for much less money. and by
private subscription, but he neglected
to say whether he would be one of the
~Boomerang's six, or sixty, or 600. One
gentleman told Mr.. Stickney that If he
was looking. for a cheap site, he might
get a lot on the west side for perhaps
500. and several gentlemen, who heard
of the matter afterward, offered to do
nate the sites. If location cut no figure.
Among those present were such citi-
