MORE TROUBLE
| FOR CALHOUN

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. "a
Besides his troubles In the Grimm
al courts, Patrick Calhoun, the San
Francisco street railway magnate,
is to be called to accOun in the
civil courts for his failure to live
up to the arbitration award of
Feb. %, 1907, by which he was
bound to pay an advance in wages
and shorten the work day of the
electricians in his employ.
In suit brought by William
Quayle, an armature winder at the
Geneva st. power house, the United
railroads is accused Of repudiating
the award. Quayle declares that he
was a member of the union when
the award was granted, and under
the clause awarding mechanics OF
his class 81 a day for an eight-hour
day, one and one-half pay for over
time and double pay for Sundays,
the company now owes him
$4O2.40. He has made frequent de-
mands upon the company for this
money, but they have refused to
pay it.
Quayle's attorneys do not be.
lieve that they will have much
difficulty in collecting the money.
The company will offer as a de-
tense that Quayle does not come
within the class named in the
award

THE STRIkE Err

William Barton sat in the peace

telegraph station at Mapleville
with his feet upon the rusted ra-
diator. enjoying quiet smoke.
The big telegraphers' strike was
on and wires were silent from one
coast to the other. Already dust
was gathering on the telegraph in
strument ON the little table in the
corner Barton was not sorry. The
incessant clacking of the little in
strument had rather got upon his
nerves. Although a small place,
Mapleville was on the main line
and he had not had much time for
rest since he came there from
Omaha
The wide, shady street of the
little town looked very peaceful in
the afternoon sunlight. Barton
raised the window as high as it
would go and gave his feet a luxu,
rious stretch. He blew out fra
grant cloud of smoke. Work was
all right, but rest was mighty good,
100, sometimes.
Two women in dainty summer
garments came out of nearby
house and walked off down the
street. The elder woman had white
hair and she wore a lavender and
white gown. Somehow she remind,
ed Barton of his own mother. AL
though he was now big, stalwart
man with broad shoulders and a
square jaw, Barton was still just
little boy when it came to his
mother. No one else had ever
quite taken her place to him, and
even yet he experienced a pang OF
childish inconsistencies when he
thought of her.

GERMANY'S PARCELS POST

Speaking of a parcels post, and looking forward to
the fight expected this subject in the next congress-
you will be interested to know about the parcels
post systems of other countries
The parcels post system of Germany leads the world
1t carries packages weighing much as ITO pounds.
People send chickens by mail or wine or fish,
Sometimes schoolboys mail their linen home to be
washed and returned.
! Germany has had some kind of parcels post ever
since the days of Macmillan 1t is perhaps natural
that she should therefore have forged ahead of the rest
of the world in the development of this public service
The German postolices the system. Around
each distributing center imaginary circles at 10
miles, 20 miles, 80 100 and $50. An 11-pound package
will be carried anywhere in the first for cents,
and anywhere through the whole empire for II cents.
Parcels weighing much II pounds when mailed
within city, delivered anywhere in that city for
IL cents, though rural delivery may cost much
cents.
Postal parcels may be mailed just ordinary
letters mailed, they may be registered, sent
special delivery, c. O. d. In the last the govern
nen collects the money charges small fee and returns
the collection to the original sender small extra pay
men nsures that the parcel will be sent by fast limited
train and delivered by special messenger
Gemany's business consider the system in
dispensabe They say they could not get along with
out it.
In 1904 the German posoffce handled 6894899 900
pieces of mail matter At the end of the year the post
office $14,624,095 ahead.
Probably it would be long time before rates
could be as low Genanys because the German rail
roads obliged to carry parcels weighing II pounds
and less without cost to the government
In England where the parcels post is not nearly
thoroughly developed the railroads take IS per cent of
the parcels post charges But England has far out
stripped America for she carries pound for cents,
two pounds for cents and II pounds for "a cents,
though she limits her postal parcels to II pounds. In
1885 she began extending the parcels post system to her
colonies.
Even little Japan has parcels post, with maximum
of about II pounds, carrying ID pounds for cents and
the maximum for 25 cents
And what have we?
A postal service which carries merchandise pro-
Nided it does not weigh than four pounds for
cent per ounce and half dozen express companies
who have made practically the rate and who admit
unbushingly that the only they made it to
compete with the government.
