Rig Pay DAYS Come Again.

Pittsburg, July 15.-The payroll in
the mills, furnaces. coke plants and
coal mines of the various companies
clearing through the Pittsburg banks
was the largest Saturday of any pay
day since last October.
The increase, while gradual and
steady. is phenomenal. yet every bust
ness man Is satisfied that it is drawing
nearer to the figures tailed last year
during the most prosperous months.
For instance, the payroll at the Ma
tional Tube Works. McKeesport,
where $500 men are now working,
amounted to almost s25O.0O0 for the
past two weeks. The payroll at the
Homestead Steel Works of the Car
negie Steel company is within 10 per
cent. of what II was last summer.
That OF the Edgar Thompson and Du-
quesne Steel company, however. has
almost as large force at work as 1t
ever had. and the employees celebrated
yesterday with picnic. after pay day,
which was the largest this year.
Coal and Coke Industries Lively.
The pay of the II. c.. Frick Coke
company. and that of the independent
coking concerns. has increased SO
per cent. within the past three months
from what It was during the winter.
and h is predicted that by September
I WI be Increased fully 30 per cent.

OBSCENE CARDS
CONFISCATED BY
THE GOVERNMENT

Complaint has been made by post
Office officials that dealers handling
post cards are selling many cards
bearing obscene designs and the po-
lice officials will make an investiga-
ton and arrest those guilty of the
charge. If found. Clerks at the post
Office stop passage of all cards of an
unavailable character and send them
to the dead letter Office, where they
are destroyed; but as in almost every
instance, no name Is signed on the
cards by the sender, 1t is impossible
to prosecute the offender for a viola
ton OF the postal laws. The only
case where such conviction was Sc
cured, was recently when well
known young man paid fine Of $50
to stop a prosecution against him.

feet the organization in the county.
