Brooklyn Man Complains.

Detectives Berman and Cox and sew
era 0ostofhce inspectors had been maxi
ing a quiet investigation for nearly q
month. A few days ago a formal com
plant was lodged by James Kelby, OF
800 Dean street. Brooklyn. n. Y. Kelby
paid in 500. but the money was given
back to him.
Yesterday il was decided that enough
information had been obtained against
McNulty and VanVlest to warrant max
ing an arrest, and when the detectives
and postoffics inspectors entered the
office late yesterday afternoon, the two
men willingly accompanied them before
United States Commissioner Taylor,
who held them 10 the sum of S2,0JU
each. They did not furnish bond.
The inspectors carried away several
thousand circular letters, and other pa
pers which VIII be used as evidence.
They also took the books of the con-
Germ, which, il is stated, contain the
names Of persons, who have paid in

Interest Centers In Steel.

adueh interest centers in the dividend
on Steel. which win be made known
late this afternoon. 1t is assumed here
that the directors will pursue a con-
servative course. 1t seems probable
that the dividend on the common stock
wiz be placed on a 8 per cent footing
which, under all the circumstances,
should meet the expectations of those
who are hoping and working for an
advance in the price of the stock. It
would be suicidal for the company at
this moment TO attract the special at
teutiOn of Congress by declaring a big
dividend, and il is almost certain that
ST the dividend IS placed on a per cent
basis il win be the signal for a big
volume of selling by those who have
been looking for a small fortune in
Steel.
Official Action Will Settle It.
Official action this afternoon viii set

waiting the situation in Steel today is

has been so much discussion through

fected in September, 1908. with head
quarters In Chicago. j. p. Morrisey,
formerly at the head of one of the
railroad mems working organizations.
was elected to take the presidency of
the new organization at salary of
SIS. 900 per year. Ii is the purpose
of the new organization 10 take In
every class of railway men In all de-
partments from Hartman himself TO
the mechanics and helpers In all
branches. The prime purpose OF the
organization Is To bring-the employer,

the employee and the investor into
closer relation and cultivate spirit
of mutual interest to prevent friction
and encourage efforts for mutual adj
vantages. 1t Is believed that the or
ganization will be the means of es-
tablishing a feeling of friendship and
mutual help between the employer
and employe and thus eradicate and
overcome friction and prevent many
Misunderstanding.
At the meeting in Sparks about Is
10 100 men were present and the To-
cal lodge started OFF with a member
