NEW WAGE SCALE
 FOR TELEGRhPHERS
WESTERN UNION ANNOUNCES RATES TO BE PAID OPERATORS ON OVERTIME AND ALSO SAYS SOMETHING OF NEW SCALE.

New York. October 19.-What was regarded by the striking telegrapher as an indication that the Western Union was about to settle the strike in an unusual way came to the surface to- night when Superintendent E. M. Null ford of that company announced that the double pay it had been giving it's strike breakers since the beginning of the fight would be discontinued and that there would be established at the same time a scale of wages much bet ter than the one that prevailed before the strike started.
 The Western Union hereafter practi

cally will pay it's operators in the city double for all overtime work ed.
 At the close of letter Mulford sent to his district superintendents he said the management of the company had under consideration means of ex- pressing it's appreciation of the loyalty shown by the strike breakers. That was taken to mean that the company would grant further concessions to it's operators in a few days.
 Mulford's letter said all operators in the city till further notice, would be paid double salary for all overtime. The Sunday work day, Mulford said, here after would be seven hours, and all time worked over seven hours on that day would be paid for at overtime rates.
 With respect to wire. traffic or chief operators, he said, when it would be nec- essary for them to work overtime, they woul dalso receive double pay for the hours beyond their regular period of duty. Should it be necessary for them to work as ordinary operators they V ould receive double pay as first class operator for all overtime work. The new scale of wages went into ef- feet at midnight tonight.

comfortably for many years. It was
enough. too. to save the minister from
vestries which would not pay. The
Rev. Mr.. Hartman gave up st. Johns
pulpit In West Hoboken in 1866,
which was shortly after the legacy
fell to his wife.
Henry at this time is described by
men and women who knew him as
boy of pleasant nature, who liked to
do most OF the things other boys did,
but with a view OF life that was much
broader and deeper than most of his
associates OF his age. He realized that
his way In the world depended upon
himself. and. whether by chance or
through somebody's aid, he chose
Wall street as a beginning. He ap-
peared in "the street" not long after
his family moved from West Hoboken
to Jersey City. He was a clerk in a
small brokerage office and he was n
good one. He used to go running
around downtown In those days lust

Illinois Central 1t was Fish who gave
Hartman most OF his commissions In
those days; commissions which

he would probably never have met
otherwise. Anyway. when these mo-

Russia Comments Bold Stroke

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 16.-The
departure of the American fleet
evokes intense interest here. 1t has
occasioned a great volume of news
paper comment concerning the
strength and preparedness of the
Americans. as showing strong con-
trast to that of Rojestvensky on his
ill-starred cruise.
The papers comment on the far
reaching effect on the naval policy
of other nations.
The Novoe Vremya does homage
to what 1t terms a bold Roosevelt
ian stroke To restore the balance OF
power in the Pacific which has been
disturbed by the present war.
1.-THE squadron" says the Novoe
vremya, will actually serve as the
best guarantee of peace by checking
the relation of the Oriental ma
tions."
Lewiston evening teller. [volume] (Lewiston, Idaho) 1903-1911, 1907-12-16

The practice will include di-
vision into two fleets, each contain
ing eight battleships, eight cruisers
aud q small torpedo flotilla, destroy
ers, repair ships, supply ships, etc.
These will be pitted against each
other, and will work out the COM
pick problems which have been de-
vised by the general board, as well
as others which may be suggested
by the flag officers of the fleet.
Again, a division will be made into
four fleets, each headed by four
battleships, and still other problems
will be solved. Great benefit is ex-
pected from the work on so elabo-
rate a scale.
1t is noteworthy feature of the
program that all this will be done
without resorting to a navy yard
there being none in the vicinity, and
any repairs which may be necessary
will have to be made by the repair
shops which will accompany the
ships and in the machine shops or
board the ships themselves. The ca
pacity of the ships will also be
tested by the problem of feeding tht
thousands of officers and men who
! compose the crews of this great
fleet, numbering upward of $4,000
men. OF course, some fresh sup
plies will be obtained in Soutt
American markets, but while in thu
Pacific there will be few such OPP
portunities until San Francisco Il
reached.
