Paul lie Boeuf OF DonaldsonyiIle,
La, a mechanical engineer, has invent
ed a device for tying packages Of mail
In the postoffice without the use OF
Irvine. says a New Orleans special dis
patch TO the Philadelphia Record.
Some time ago the government In
vited American inventors TO try their
wits in devislng something that would
do away with the use OF Irvine in ty-
ing packages Of letters In transit
through the postal service. II was ex-
planned that the Irvine called for much
valuable time In the tying up Of the
bundle and that even in the cutting Of
the Irvine. when the packages were
opened, called for more time that re
tarded delivery just that much
Mr. lie Boeuf contrived a simple ap-
paratus. consisting Of two small cross
es OF very light spring steel fastened
at the ends with tape, 30 that one end
may be thrown open by one movement
Of the thumb. releasing a hook and
eyelet while the tape connections are
adjusted to ct any size Of package by
q single jerk on a buckle.
II is estimated that the invention
Will save the government more than 70
per cent of its expenses for Irvine.
while the fasteners, which can be man
ufactured In quantities for about 3
cents apiece. could be used over and
over again, still further Increasing the
saving In outlay. to say nothing Of the
economy IN time.
This invention Il being tested under
an application for patent by q commit
tee composed Of the fourth assistant

master at Baltimore and the chief Of

This hill, since the road was first

rid of it,
Fifty thousand yards of dirt have
been removed the grades have been
reduced from four and half per cent
to two per cent, and twenty degree re-

work extended for mile and half

rapidly as possible. train loads of ball

The hill had some pretty stiff grades

curves compelled shorter trains and
extra crews and engines and We're

this has been eliminated at cost,

are deep and at first 1t looked as tho

they will not get the raise of three and

The committee, which had been in
conference with officials of the road,
has Just returned from Chicago and
made the announcement and num-
Der Of non union men here and else
where along the line are greatly dis
appointed.
The reason given is the fact that
the non-union men do not assist in
any way in securing the raises In sal
airy, pay no dues and other expenses
which are necessary to keep COM
mittee in Chicago looking out for the
unions interests for several months
of the year. The non union men are
accused of never offering to assist IN
defraying these expenses, but, on the
other hand of being quite willing to
pocket the extra amount received at
the end of the month, coming, the UNI
ion men say, as the result Of their eff
fort. The committee decided to al
low the non-union wage to remain
where it is, 81 cents per hour, while
