DYNAMITE FOR OPEN SHOP.
Attempt TO Wreck Iron Foundry Near
Albany Laid TO Strikers.

AuAuy Lhiu " StTlheTs.
ALBANY, Aug. 9.-An attempt was made
shortly before 1 o'clock this morning to
wreck the iron foundry OF the West Side
Structural Company in the town of Colonie.
In making his rounds the night watch
man discovered window open on the
north side Of the building. When he at.
tempted to close it there was terrific ex-
plosion, followed by crash Of brick and
mortar.
The noise could be heard for miles and
created considerable excitement in Water
vliet and nearby places. The entire roof
was torn of and the north wall almost
totally destroyed by the force of the ex-
plosion.
An investigation showed that a stick
Of dynamite had been placed on the window
sill after the window had been forced 1t
is thought by the Watervliet police, who
are working on the case, that the explosive
was used by strikers who have had some
difficulties with the foundry owners for
months past The foundry is now running
as an open shop. The employees are mostly
OF Polish and Armenian extraction.
An annex TO the main building contained
a number Of dynamos and motors, and 1t is
believed that the perpetrators expected
that these would be destroyed with the
building.

WANDERING IN PAJAMAS.
Man Who Left the vendome Well Clad Dies

A man who said he was Joseph c. Gregg
80 years old, an agent, and who gave his
address as the Hotel Vendome, was found
wandering at Broadway and Forty-frst
street, Monday morning at Q o'clock. He
was barefooted and wore pajamas under
a heavy overcoat. He also had badly
bruised right eye. Policeman Reilly, who
found him, took him to the Tenderloin
station and he was sent from there in an
ambulance to Bellevue Hospital.
The mans trouble was at first diagnosed
as acute alcoholism, but some hours later
DR.. L. j. Smith, in charge Of the prison
ward, said he thought Gregg was suffering
from starvation. Late Monday afternoon
the patient revived somewhat and said he
hadn't eaten food for three days.
Gregg became very weak yesterday
morning and toward noon was seized with
convulsions and died. DR.. Smith has re-
que sted the Coroner to perform an autopsy
this morning to determine positively the
cause of death.
At the Hotel Vendome it was learned last
night that Gregg registered at the hotel
on last Friday night as coming from Pitts
burg. He only remained overnight. The
clerks say he was well dressed and ap-
peared to be in healthy condition when
he left the hotel.

RURAL CARRIERS SALARIES

There is wcl-nigh universal feeling
that the pay Of rural free delivery car
riers is insufficient ana that c"ugre-
should grant about what they ask TN
the way Of additional salary They re-
ceive now 5000 q year. out of which
they must provide and maintain an
outfit and keep from two to four
horses. The men have TO be out every
day in al kinds Of weather Consider
ting the work, the expenses involved
and present cost OF living the pay is
inadequate.
The carriers ask that the pay shall
be 5000 for the first year $500 the sec
ond and $3.50 the third and thereafter.
There is some question whether the
pay should he thus gradd or be made
the same figure for all. but there is
no question that it should be consd-
erably increased.
1t is true that an increase even of
$3.50 Will add largely to the expenses of
the service. As there are now about
10000 carriers It will add about So
000, 900 to the annual cost of the rural
branch Of the postal service. It Is
certain that withing few years the
number of carriers win be doubled. If
the salary should be increased $3.50 q
year, 1t would not be very long till
salary allowance in this branch of the
service would be increased $40, 900. 900
annually.
1t Is well to put the facts plainly.
This Is exactly what rural free delivery
means. 1t Is no longer a question
whether we shall have rural free de-
livery. That has been decided No in
telligent person dreams that it can
be repealed, or stopped where 1t is.
or prevented from expanding.
Such being the fact. the service must
be maintained in an equal degree OF
efficiency to that of the other branches
OF the department, and the carriers.
upon whom the burden of the work
falls, should be paid proportionately to
the standard of compensation of the
other postal employees.

only expressed by individuals or papers
where the wish is father to the thought
The high dgnatarles of the church
have announced that the church has
no wish to be dominant in politics or in
politics at all The republicans of
Idaho either in whole or In part have
no wish to see the Mormon church in
politics. The only people who have a
hope in this direction are those who
are inspired by Senator Fred r. Du-

sponsor for the idea that there was Il
political issue in the Mormon question
