the church s expenses, and at the pres
ent rate win exceed that amount by
several hundred thousand for 1905. This
is the answer the American bishops
gave to the proposal to make Mgr.
Broderick Of Havana a sort of commits
, sioner in this country to increase the
Peters pence contributions. Broderick,
therefore was no surprise. Bishop Me-
Donnell of Brooklyn and other prelates
who were at Rome recently are believed
to have voiced the American sentiment
against the proposed mission.
Politicians and others who have ex-
pressed their views on the subject diff
fer radically as to the reception that
Charles w. Anderson, the negro 0p-
pointed to the internal revenue collec-
torship for the Second New York dis
trict, will receive when he takes up
his new duties. Prejudice against the
negro is very strong in New York. No
theater, frst-class hotel or restaurant
will accept negro patronage. Two cases
resulting from such discrimination are
pending in the courts now. The negro
is no nearer recognition in New York
as social equal than he is in a
southern city. As to Anderson, his en-
emies are digging up unpleasant incl
dents in his record, and it is declared
( in certain quarters that fight that
threatens to assume the proportions of
that made against President Roose.
ivelt's famous Crum appointment is to
be waged by local Republicans against
/ the appointment. There is no doubt
that many people did not like the ap-
pointment, but there is question as
to whether the opposition will develop
openly. Officials Of the internal reve
nue. Office say that he will be warmly
welcomed by his staff, the members of
which remember him as n competent
officer during his four years service
with them as guager.
Some one has figured il out that the
Interborough company will make money
out of the recent strike. The cost of
the strike on the road will be borne
by the strikers themselves. Each
striker that comes back to work does
so as new man and Is put to work
at the lowest rate on the sliding scale
of wages, no matter what pay he may
have been getting when the strike was
declared. Motormen, for instance, who
after years service, were paid $3.50
day, are taken back at So a day, the
wage az which they started. There
are about 900 motormen employed by
the company, and of these about GOO
have been at work long enough to get
the $3.50 rate. They now go back to
work at SO, and the company will
therefore save 5000 day, without
counting the saving on motormen who
received 1925. 1t will be six months
before these men are advanced to the
1925 rate, and, in that time, for the
motormen, the company will save at
least $4,000.
