UNION OF POSTAL CLERKS
MAJOR HALE DOES NOT BELIEVE
THEY WOULD GET ANY BENE-
FIT FROM NEW ORGANIZATION.

Postmaster W. D. Hale said, today
that he had heard. nothing about the
proposition advanced by Samuel Com
pers Of the American Federation of La
Dor, to organize the postal clerks Of
the country into union.
~ should be sorry to see such
course attempted, said Major Hale.
/" It would be apt to prove disturb
ing force in what has been a. very
smooth working organization, and 1
don't believe it could be of any. bene-
fit to the clerks. It is admitted every
where that their salaries are made
quate. They are poorly paid in COM
parison with the carriers. and have no
fixed statute governing their increases
in salary. The carrier knows just what
pay he will get after a certain term Of
service. It is fixed by law, but the
question of clerks salaries and grades
is fxeH at every session of congress.
The trouble has been the deficit in the
postal revenue. AS long as it is neces-
sary to take money from other sources
to keep up. the postal service, it will be
hard to secure any increases in COM
pensation for postal employees.
don It believe union organization
would help any. Tie clerks already
have their association, which meets
once a year, and thru which they can
present their case to congress.

Arrangements are completed for the
accommodations bureau that will be
operated during fair week by the pub
lie affairs committee of the CONNER
cial club.
The bureau will furnish free Of
charge room assignments to all visitors.
Available rooms in the central district,
handy and convenient for fair visitors,
will be listed and no visitor need wan
der about because hotels are filed.
The accommodations will be in charge
of w. c.. Human, who successfully
managed the three accommodations bu-
reaus encampment week. The present
headquarters are at Fifth street S,
with the Real Estate board, where MI.
Human. may be found. Rooms to be
listed may be filed there or sent in by
teleehone, Main 2673, or T: c. 3l05.
= The public affairs committee is now
in new quarters, tho still in the An
.drus building. The old quarters on the
fifth floor have been vacated and the
committee headquarters and Secretary
Nye are now installed on the second
floor in room 201. The new rooms are
easier Of access, are better situated

Hotel men have been approached with
proposition whereby they were to

quarters Of President Gompers and his

could fxe the national headquarters

doing it. His prices range from SIS to

Officers of the local organizations
are in arms against this first attempt
at graft and will see that it is
stopped, Attempts at any similar
federation meet made clean affair

REQUIREMENTS FOR BANQUET
Members Of Association Must Conform
-. to Rates to Be Admitted,

There. seems. to be some misunder-
standing in regard to admittance to the
American Bar association dinner, which
is be held at the Auditorium next
Friday evening. Nobody will be adj
nitted to this dinner except those who
are members or delegates OF" the Amer
lean Bar association.
Dinner tickets will be delivered at
the door by the dinner committee to-.
those members and delegates who have
given proper notice Of their intention
to attend Such notice must be given
to Treasurer F. E. Wadhams, care of
Ryan hotel, St? Paul, before Thursday
morning. Upon recei pit of such notice
the name of the person giving the no.
tlce will be checked with the list of
association members and if such person
is entitled to.:a ticket he will be as
signed a PLACE at the tables. Then he
can procure his ticket at the Audi
torium, before entering the hall.
No complimentary ticket or tickets to
anyone who is not member are issued
Members and delegates may procure
tickets admitting their wives or women
Of their families to the balcony during
the dinner. These balcony tickets may
Wadhams or the local dinner commit
tee; and if any balcony; tickets are sun-
issued the night of the dinner, they
may sbet procured at the door by per
sons who, are. entitled to receive them.
Another plan is being carried out by
Treasurer Wadhams, which is peculiar
to the American Bar association din
ners. The tables will be set with eight
covers each, and after proper notice Of
i Intention h,ta TIC! has been given to attend the
Dinner, members may make up their
tables by handing in lists to Treasurer
Wadhams before. Thursday night, and
in such case, when the dinner ticket
is received at the. door the ticket will
show the number Of the table assigned.
Blanks for notices Of intention to at
tend and for making up tables may be
procured of Treasure Wadhams Wdns-,
day at the capitol building or at the
Ryan hotel. In order, to insure reserva-
tions it is necessary that members
should get notice of their intention to
attend into the hands Of Treasurer
Wadhams before Thursday morning.

FILTER PLANT: SHOWN
PROMOTERS CLAIM GREAT RE-:
Suits, BUT CITY WATER Au-
THoR1TIEss WAIT FOR PROOFS.

1 Two filtration experts from Buffalo,
n. Y, entertained several city Officials
today with an Illustrated lecture ON "a

9eer Andrew Rinker, Supervisor j.. H;

than to say that if the new system can
do on a large. scale what it appears to
90 on a small SCALE a wonderful adj
vance has been made in the develop

The system is that Of the National
Roche Filtration company, and it is SO
! new that there has been no opportunity
| to install it on large scale, altho two
| plants with a daily capacity Of a. mill
ION gallons: are now in process of cons
The method seems seems t. be a sort of an
adaptations Of the sand filter theory, ex.
cept that the water is forced upward
thru the beds instead of downward,
and in addition there, is a bed of spe-
ciaHys prepared carbon,swhich4lo looks like
/ Haked charcoal. ~~>~.-~
It is urged in behalf of the new sys-
tenn. that 1T works more rapidly than
ordinary sand filters, and that it costs
only small amount Of money in com
parison with a. sand filter plant. The
expense OF operation is practically
nothing, the promoters say, as one man
can operate a plant of any size and his
dutiesGare hardly tmore than those Of
watchman. &
No chemicals Of ahy kind are used
and the method, it is asserted, will not
only remove sediment and impurities,

NEW SCHEME, DEVELOPED
TO FLEEGE: MERCHANTS

=. "A new scheme for obtaining money
under false pretenses, which was UNI
earthed yesterday, is: likely to result in
cooperation between the retail mer-
chants of Minneapolis and the pro-
tective =. committee Of the Minnesota
Bankers association, and in the arrest
Of the Hdne' workers who have been
engaged for some time in :: "short
changing" and otherwise beating the

A messenger asked the bookkeeper
of a retail firm downtown the amount
Of Mr.. Blank g account, on the pretense
Of paying it. A. short time later a
man offered the woman cashier a check
in payment of. the account, which was
several dollars too large. The cashier
paid the difference and later it was
found that the check was bogus. -

EVENING SHOW PLANS

Retail Merchants association which has

evening attractions in Minneapolis dur
Ing fair week held a meeting this after
noon to discuss the advisability Of
abandoning their plans.
The movement is strenuously opposed
by the. state fair directors as likely to
injure the, evening attendance at their
show and the proposition has aroused
st. Paul to such an extent that an eff
fort is to be made to arrange a street
