White Men Do Not Like TO

BY WATTERSoN sTEALEY.

Washington, March 0-(Special) Rail-
way mail clerks throughout the middle
west who have recently been forced to
work with negroes in the service, are pre-
pairing complaints which are to be taken
up with the postal authorities at Wash
ington.
The clerks, particularly those on long
runs, maintain that in several instances
white and colored men are compelled to
work in the same car and as result
have to sleep and eat together
The petitions requesting change in the
management of affairs have not as yet
been received at the headquarters here.
Several weeks ago a negro entered the
postal service In Nebraska and was put
10 work. Objections were raised by the
white clerks, and as a result the colored
man was sent TO Wyoming. lie was as
signed TO a branch line and his labor does
not necessarily take him in the company
of any of the white clerks.

two and three days are required to make
The trip When this is the case the
clerks have to practically live in their
cars. Colored men have recently been as
signed to several of the longer runs, and
as there are usually two or three men
in the larger through cars, the others are
white.
This has brought about the agitation
that the postmaster general will be re-
quested to settle. One of the requests to
be made by the western railway clerks
is that the colqred men be assigned to
runs which will not bring them in close
proximity with the white men. In getting
up their complaint the clerks will make
no particular gharge against the negroes
in the service, their desire being to have

India Rubber.

Ten years ago we got along very
well with 100000 worth of In
dia rubber. This year our bill will
probably exceed $4,000, 1000. Part
of this increase is represented by
quantity and part by price. The cost
OF the commodity compared with an
average of about II cents for the
year 1906. Measured in quantity the
increase in importation is about 60
per cent. Our receipts for the year
will be somewhere near 65,000,000
pounds. In addition to this we are
buying about one-half that quantity
of old scrap rubber and substance
called gutta joolatong, which is used
as a mixture in certain industries.
The expansion of the industry is due
mainly to the demand for rubber
tires and for insulating appliances
used in electrical equipment. New

A Remarkable Bath.

Sidney Dallas. of Melbourne told
group of reporters in fremont
Temple, Boston, this temperance
story:
"A Melbourne husband stayed out
till about 3 a. m. This man, when he
got home, thought that he would GO
boldly to the bathroom and take a
bath. That would remove from his
wife's mind any suspicion as to his
condition. 1t would show her, in a
word, that he was all right. so ne
filled the tub and plunged
in. Hot and enfevered as he was, he
enjoyed the bath. AS he splashed
and scrubbed and puffed he heard a
slight noise, and, looking up, saw
his wife in the doorway. His wife
was regarding him with an express
sion OF unspeakable contempt. He
was rather amazed at that. But he
said nothing. He lowered his head
and went on scrubbing.
Well. what are you doing?' she
asked.
Can't you see what I'm joing?'
he answered. He rubbed up some
more lather, I'm taking bath
She shifted and said as she turned
to go; why don't you take off your
underclothes, Them"
