Not After the Money.

Evidently President John Mitchell,
of the United Mine Workers, is not
after the money. The size of his sal
airy and the lack of effort on his part
to have it raised, demonstrates this
fact. Mitchelrs salary is only $4,000
a year. Grand Chief Engineer p. NJ.
Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers gets $1,000 a year;
Grand Master John Hallihan, of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Fireman,
gets $1,000; Grand Master L. H. Nor
risey. of the Brotherhood of Train
men. gest $1,000; Samuel Gompers. of
the Federation of Labor, gets So 900;
Simon Burns, of the Window Glass
Workers, gets $1,000. and number of
other labor leaders get more money
in salary than Mitchell. OF course,
these salaries are not enormous, but
it is surprising that Mitchell is not
getting as much or more than any of
them, for he represents one of the
most powerful labor organizations
in the world, and has done more for
the organization, it is safe to say, than
any other labor leader has done for his
respective organization. 1t is shown
clearly by the above salary list that
salaries of leaders are not in con-
formity with the proportions of the
organizations the leaders represent.
That may be explained in the fact
that the financial standing of an or
ganization is not relative to its size
always.
1t is safe to say that Mitchell would
be justified in laying claim to a sal
airy LARGER than any other In bOr Lend
er in America, and the only reason
why he does not lay claim to such
salary and get it. is because he is not
after the money. Mitchell has given
much of his own money to aid his
organization, and the character of
the work he has done shows that he
is more interested in working for his
organization than he is in drawing
a salary. If Mitchell should strike
for raise he certainly would get it.

Senator Cullom was in an elevator

There is little reason to doubt that
a really searching investigation of
the postoffice department will result
in proving numerous frauds on the
government by employees. 1t has long
been understood in Washington news
paper circles that Influence" must
be had not only for sales to the de-
partment, but also for contracts of
various sorts and rulings of various
descriptions. But such rumors are
not limited to the postoffice depart
ment, and if the whole ground is
turned over there is liable to be a
shock to the nation.

So far as restricting immigration is
concerned, the new law has proved a
failure. The arrivals of late demon
strate that it has been of no service
in keeping out immigrants, though it
has strengthened the authority of the
commissioner of immigration in shut
ting out those who are prohibited
from entering our ports. During the
last month the total number of immi-
grants was 42.267. as against 36.763

To get shaved in a barber shop near the
Union Station, yesterday morning, Leon
Lemaire, from Fort Madison, Ia, was
compelled to pay SLIGO, and narrowly es-

story in the Central District Station.
Lemaire told the police that when he
rendered dollar. from which he expected
20 cents change. he was ordered to add co
cents to make the score right. Lemaire
says he refused to pay what he considered
an exorbitant price for tonsorial atten-
tons. He remarked. he says, that he came
to be shaved and not to DO skinned"
His facettousness angered the barber
and the latter threatened to balance the
account BY giving Lemaire a thrashing.
Lemaire finally avoided a crisis, he says,
by paying what was demanded.
The police offered to arrest the proprie-

remain IN St. Louis to prosecute He left
