New York. June 2o-As u result OF
the visit OF Mr.. Neil. commissioner
OF labor and following suggestions
made by him an adjustment OF the
pany TAXI the position that IL Was
not directly involved in the c%ontroIer-
sy. Edward j.. Nally, vice president
and general manager, gave out the
following statement today as 10 his
company attitude.
Il wish to say for the Postal 1'ele-
graph Company that the statement To-
the effect that his company refused to
consider requests or complaints from
its employees, either individually or
as a committee. is entirely untrue. We
have always been very glad To meet
any OF our employees and TO consider
any matter which they might care to
present.
President Clowery's letter to Mr.
Neil is in part as follows:
AS TO the statements made by
persons in no way connected with this
company that the ten per cent IN
crease granted by the telegraph COM
pany on March LIST last has not been
applied TO all salaried telegraphers. /
desire 10 say that the telegraph CoIn-
pany announced this increase in good
faith and is carrying il out in GOOD
faith and that If any case can be found
IN which the increase was not granted
it will be corrected at once.
The standard salaries for regular
positions are established by the in
crease Of March 1st, will be maintain
ed, and the company will pay TO any
man appointed or promoted the salary
attached TO hat position after hat
increase, II will pay TO extra men
the salaries in effect for their work as
OF March LIST, inclusive OF the ten
per cent. increase.
This company has not discriminut-
ed against, O will IL discriminate
against any employee of the company
because OF afiliation or GENERALIZATION
with any organization, and II II can
be shown to me that any subordinate
has dismissed or Disseminated against
any telegrapher because Of afiliatiory
with any organization, such telegT aph-
er shall be restored to his position
without prejudice.
IF any t~elegrapher feels that he has
any grievance under any OF the fore
going conditions, and IL he cannot
secure satisfactory adjustment OF mis-
complaint with the officers of the
company, We submit that matter TO the
arbitration OF three parties. one to be
selected by the ~telegraphers, one by
the telegraph company and the third
10 be selected by the two so chosen
and in the event that the two cannot
agree upon the third arbitrator within
one week, We will be very glad To
have such third arbitrator chosen
by the chairman Of the interstate COM
merce commission and the comnIis-
siOner OF labor acting jointly.
LAS a further evidence OF our en,iro
willingness TO deal fairly and preserve
amicable relations directly with our
own employees. any telegTapher VINO at
any time has a grievance can take il
up with his superior. either in person,
or, il he wishes. through any commit
tee he may select from the other en-
ployes Of this company In the game

FLORENCE HAS A FUTURE.


While there is certain depression
overshadowing Florence and while
there is not much to be expected from
the Union mill for the present at
least, II IL true thas this city has one
OF the most brilliant outlocks that 1t
has ever known. There are several
reasons upon which to base this asser-
tion and they are all substantial.
The coal mines of the county we're
never 90 crowded as at this time and
the prospects there are exceedingly
bright for months to come. Coal is
In demand from one end of the coun-
try to the other and the prices are
continually going skyward. The
advance In price is an evidence Of the
demand aud the miners are to reap
their harvest.
The oil industry has bright future
and the two foremost oil companies
are pushing developments at healthy
rate. Two or three good discoveries
in practically new sections Of the
territory proves that oil is not only
confined within . radius Of two or
three miles from the heart of the city
but many miles farther.
The oil that was struck in the
Fredrickson we'll proves the existence
of the fluid in hitherto undeveloped
section and an entirely new territory.
The atrikes out in the vicinity of
Radiant proves the extension Of the
field at least two miles. These dis
closures are certainly highly condu-
Give to a richer and bigger Florence
in futur, years.
The cement industry is about to
become one Of the biggest feeders Of
trade for Florence. The Portland
Cement company, which has been op-
erating for years. 10 daily growing
better and larger. Starting from
samll experimental plant. 1t has
grown to be ono Of the largest in the
West aud has already attained the
distinction Of being one Of the most
important.
But the cement industry, notwith.
standing the success Of the present
plant for several years. has only fair
~ begun here. The United States
Portland Cement company is actively
engaged at work on its plant seven
milea from Florence and will soon
become Al important cement mann.
facturer.
The nsw fruit land ON Beaver park
10 bound to mako Florence grow aud
prosper. This Is only a natural con-
sequence Of the big possibilities of
the enterprise. Four thousand acres
arc to como under ditch early next
year and the small annual payments
which the company requires Of the
purchaser 10 bound to induce the
Eastern farmers to come Westward to
investigate at least.
That there IL no finer land Ia the
valley has been established by the
lucious fruit that 10 grown on Lin
coin park. Only this new land is
much better because it has u south
slope and exposure which makes 1t
moro valuable for fruit culture. On
Lincoln park there arc only 1900
acres ret ont 70 fruit, which show
how much larger the new district
will be when Il il all under cultiva-
tion.
