"sAN FRANCISCO, April 8, 1905.

"SAN FRANCISCO, April 8. 1905.
"Hon. George C. Perkins, Senate
Chamber, Washington: Our commercial
community suffering from delays In
mail deliveries caused by lack of proper
facilities. with pneumatic tube service
connecting main Postofice with sta
tion X and ferry station mail deliveries,
both local and national, would be great
iy bastened and much of present delay
obvfated. Request your best Efforts to
have House postal appropriation bill
amended to include pneumatic tube SER
vice for San Francisco, as recommended
by Postmaster General - Telegram
sent yesterday by Merchants Exchange
large crowo OF prominent business
men listened attentlvely at the Mer-
chants Exchange yesterday afternoon
to an address on the condition and the
needs of the San Francisco Postoffice by
Arthur G. Fisk, Postmaster. He was
introduced by E. r. Lilienthal who said
that there should be cooperation for
the welfare of the service and that
Mr. Fisk was ready to show the way for
Improvement that he alone could not
bring about.
postmaster Fisk said that whatever
lnadequacy there was in the services
-
authorities at Washington TO come to
realization of San trancisco's phen-
omenal growth and make an annual in
crease in appropriation sufficient to
meet the necessities of the local Post
office. Mr.. Fisk said he kept at his desk
from early till late and had spent two
months in Washington and other large
Eastern cities seeking further Govern
ment aid and gathering ideas to be ap-
piled here.
He said that the help of the San
Francisco business community was alb
solutely necessary in the matter of Sc
curing larger appropriations and sane
ton for the extensive improvements
needed to bring the service up to the
demands of the city. He especially
urged the installation of the pneumatic
tube system, saying that under the
present conditions when it took mail
cars twenty minutes each way to make
the trip between the main Postoffice
and the ferry postoffice, much time was
lost in the distribution of mail
The carrier service, too, he said was
Inadequate and sometimes when a~car-
rler had worked the eight hours pre-
scribed by law he still had letters that
were delivered next day with a stencil
mark showing there had not been time
to deliver the day before. The growth
of the outlying sections of the city was
particularly harassing to the carriers.
as much time was consumed in visiting
isolated houses.

management Of C. W. Dillon, Tax Com
missioner, and his assistants, who
looked diligently after these different
items, one Of which | might mention
bere-the tax on collateral inheri.

Office began to look after this matter
it was S1O,449.OO and this year, $780,

There are many other items that go
to make up the revenues that might
mention that are looked after by the
Tax Commissioners office, but space
will not permit at this time; only to
add that the creation of the Tax Com
missioner's department has shown
great wisdom on the part Of our law
makers, not only as a financial invest
ment for the State, which brings
large returns for the capital invested,
but gives us also a head to our tax

CHARLESTON, Dec. 10.-The an

Of Labor is nothing more than politi'

Of certain politicians for their own
benefit, and that as labor organiza'

terests, This charge is refuted by the
officers of the federation. who claim
that it is untrue and the federation

INSCRIPTIONS attacks at the annual
meeting.
The structural iron workers OF
Wheeling, who heretofore have been
one of the strongest supporters OF the
State Federation,have withdrawn from
the ranks, and claim they will have
nothing to do with the organization,
lat a meeting about two weeks ago in
Wheeling, the iron workers discussed
the situation and by an overwhelming
vote passed a resolution to withdraw
The meeting was very spirited and oc'
casloned some warm speaking.
On last Saturday night the iron
workers OF that city held another meet

mer resolution was defeated by
large vote. After the meeting the off
Gals said they had been instructed t
withdraw their membership and to re

We are all said to have troubles Of
our own, This is true Of parties as

down with surpluses. Only the other

THE WEST wRerNlAN's SCOOP.

he YVES VIHAlNIAENS aSOOF.
The Charleston Mails leading edl'
torial last Friday evening was devot-
ed to the West Virginian's reference
to State Treasurer Ogdins report.
The Mail says: "The Fairmont West
VIrglnian has succeeded in scoopins
all the other State papers. 1t pro-
fesses to have received through the
mail copy Of the biennial report OF
the State Treasurer, Hon. Newton Og-
din. We congratulate the West Vir-
gilman, and not having been similarly
favored we quote from its editorial
column an excerpt from the report
and some comment thereon:
"The Mail has a postofice address
and also employs a reporter, who Wis
It's the State departments every day,
but we must acknowledge our obliga-
ton to the West Virginian for the
news that the report has been issued"
Then follows the editorial from the
West Virginian and this comment:
"Of course, It is a matter for con-
graduation that the State has been
able to meet all obligations and that
there is something in the way Of a
balance. 1t is also gratifying to know
that is has been possible to raise more
money for State purposes and thereby
to effect saving TO the tax payers.
