Several Congressman spoke in favor
of enlarging the Federal control,
among them Representative Bowers
Of Mississippi, who read to the meet
ing from the brief recently prepared
by Mr.. Edgar Farrar of New Orleans.
Representative Underwood Of Alabama
favored absolute Federal control in
order that Southern commerce might
be less affected. Among those who
spoke against the bill we're: Hum
phries of Mississippi, Richardson Of
Alabama and Randell of Texas. From
that report, Randell said considerable
opposition to the bill will be present
ed by the Texas delegation. 1t was
finally decided upon motion OF Mr..
Williams, that the chairman, Senator
Mallory, should appoint committee
of seven members Of which he will be
ex-officio member, consisting of two
other Senators and four members Of
the House to receive bills, resolutions
and amendments on this subject, con-
slider them, and report back to the
conference on the evening Of Friday,
February s. IF they agree on a bill
copies are to be printed so every mem
Ger Of the conference can have a
chance to study it. If they disagree
and fail to frame bill they are to
report that fact.

A large part of next years appro-
pratlons for increasing the pay Of
postal clerks will be distributed
among the men in the lower grades.
Postmaster General Cortelyou finds
that under the present system Of pro-
motion it is difficult to induce bright
young men to remain in the service at
the small salaries paid in the bottom
classes. Consequently the bulk Of
next years promotions will 60 to the
clerks in the 5000 and 500 classes.
Heretofore most of the annual in
creases in pay we're distributed among
clerks drawing $500, 5000 and $1,000
a year. The result OF this system has
been that hustling young men at the
foot of the ladder were constantly
dropping out and taking better posi-
tions in private industries. Postmas-
ter General Cortelyou finds that when
a clerk has advanced to point where
he receives as high as ST. 900 or 81 200
a year he hestitates TO get out and
usually is content to continue as
fixture. He will now give his atten-
tion to improving the condition of the
men in the lower grades, and endeavor
to make the service so attractive that :
enterprising young men will be sat
isfed to remain permanently in the
postal service.

elected governor of New York state
and that later he would be president
of the United States Mr. Hearst was
greeted with continued cheering. while
hundreds Of American flags in the
hands of the audience fluttered in
greeting. The most striking part Of
the address was Mr.. Hearst's demand
for a more equal distribution of
wealth.
