LABOR OFFICIALS ARRAIGNED.

LABOR OFFICIALS AhhAlGNED'
Direct charges that the brawo and
siuew OF the American Federation OF
Labor are and have been mulcied OF
hundreds of thousands OF dollars by a
ring of eleven men, who exercise an
| autocratic sway over two million union
working men, will be made 10 the
next issue of American Indus-
tries, a publication devoted 10 the in'
terests OF organized labor.
The exposure is bas on the pro-
posed action of the convention OF tn
Federation at Norfolk, beginning Nov.
II, when a resolution is to be introduced
to the effect that all OF the affiliated or
Ranizstions be urged to levy an assess
| ment of one cent per month per mem
bsr for one year-wbich will amount to
$3.50, OO0-to carry on labor fight at
, Los Angeles.
This fund is to be raised for the al
legged benefit of the International Typo
graphical Union and is to be expended
under the direction of Samuel Gompers,
president Of the American Federation,
with the consent and advice of the exc
cutive council of the organ zation.
The American Industries will among
other things say
"In one sense, what the members of the
| American Federation Of Labor do with
their funds is their own affair, but,
aimee the public has of late taken a deep
and abiding interest 10 the methods OF
those semi-public ofiicers, who, as hesds
of great organizations are entrusted with
| the disbursement of the money 0fOihers,
il msv not come amiss to look briefly
at this system of organized labor and
the fitness of it's officers to handle such a
SUN ofoVer bal nil ion dollars per
wear osteDsibly in the interest Of the
workiDg-man.
"The public generally and the mem

Clerical Expenses
Of the I. I. Board.

The Journal today presents state
ment of the clerical expenses of the
internal improvement board for the
past two years. The amounts do not
appear to be unreasonable, but there
are other features brought out by the
statement that it might be well to
examine
IL will be seen from the statement
that the board employees secretary and
treasurer at a salary of fifteen hun
dred dollars per annum. Just what
the duties of this officer are we are
not prepared to say. but it is pre-
sumed that he attends to all of the
correspondence of the board, records
the minutes, and performs such other
duties as the board requires of him.
In the general appropriation bill.
which provides for the salaries of the
various clerks in the departments at
Tallahassee, there is a provision for
a clerk in the comptroller's office at
salary of five hundred dollars per
annum, and it has been charged that
this amount goes to the secretary and
treasurer of the internal improve
ment board If this is so then this
officer receives a salary of two thou
sand dollars year, which however is
not an exhorbitant salary for an ex-
pert clerical man.
The secretary and treasurer of this
board has his desk in the comp
troller's office, and it is presumed that
-
troller's Office, in consideration of the
FIVE hundred dollars he receives IN
der the general appropriation bill
Now the question arises, can he prop
erly discharge the duties of both po-
sitions? If he attempts to, divide his
time in accordance with the amounts
received by him he must give three
fourths Of his time each day to the
work of the internal improvement
board, for it is from that source that
he receives three fourths of his
salary il he oes not do this then
the board loses through the arrange
ment, and the comptroller gains. Il
is true that the state in the end loses
nothing because the internal improve
ment board is composed of state Off
GERS, but the internal improvement
board and its work is entirely sepa-
rate and distinct from the comptroller,
and the work of the comptrolIer's Of
fee.
1t is true that this arrangement has
been in existence fer many years, but
that is no reason why it should longer
continue. There are great many
matters connected with the work of
this official board with which the
people have been ignorant for some
time. but now that they are beginning
to take an interest in these matters it is
time that these defects were brought
prominently TO their attention.
If it is impossible for the internal
improvement board to secure an ex-
pert man in this position for fifteen
hundred dollars a year, then that board
should immediately raise the salary
TO a figure that will command an ex-
pert who is properly able TO handle

Ball Was a Feature.
The ball, which followed the parade,
was an enjoyable feature of the night
1t was given in the armory hall and
attended by a large number of merry
maskers, who remained at the hall I'M
til the midnight hour.
There were number of other
masked balls given in the city last
night, which were largely attended
and greatly enjoyed by the young
people.

STREET CAR SERVICE
WAS VERY SATISFACTORY

Considering the number of persons
handled during yesterday and last
night, good service was rendered by
the Pensacola Electric Company. The
number of cars in service was almost
doubled, and while there was some de-
lay when the noon parade occurred,
owing to the fact that the cars had
to stop during portion OF the time,
very few complaints were heard.
Every car on the various lines was
packed from about 10 o'clock yester.
day morning until late last night, and
the company handled an immense
number of passengers during this
period.

Loyal Subjects of Priscus
Are PenSacola'S Guests.

Pensacola is crowded with visitors
today-loyal subjects of King Pris-
Gus who have come from the four cor
ners of his great realm TO worship
for a brief time at the shrine of revel-
ry and pay tribute to their merry mon
arch's reign amongst them.
These subjects of mighty PTiscus
are Pensacola's guests and cordially
does the capital city of his empire
welcome them to its hearts and
homes. The followers of King Pris-
Gus are more numerous this year
than ever before. They are here in
full force and fun, fast and furious, is
the watchword until the midnight hour
strikes the signal of their mOnarch's
departure for another twelve-months'
sojourn in the mystic regions of his
mystic realm.
We trust that these visitors may
enjoy themselves and that when they
leave it will be with the determine
ton to return next year with equal en-
thusiasm and IN greater numbers
even than are present today. They
will always be welcome and the free
dom of the Deep Water City will al
ways be theirs as well as the merry
monarch's, in whose honor they are
present on this occasion.
