NO COMPLAINT FROM CARRIERS
Post Office Department Denies They
Have Been Done Injustice.

The report that complaints have been
received at the Post Office Department
from letter carriers and carriers asso-
Citations of Baltimore. Boston. Philadel-
phia and other large cities, on the ground
that a large amount of money saved by
Postmaster General Hitchcock for his
department last year was the result or
curtailing the vacation substitutes for
carriers, was denied at the department
today. Ii was explained that although
IL was possible that the postmasters OF
the cities named might have received
complaints from the men. such COM
plants had not been registered at the
department, nor had any complaints been
received from the postmasters OF any OF
the cities in question.
II was further stated that the men
would have no reason to make such COM
plants as Mr.. Hitchcock has always
been in favor of a thirty-day leave for
the carriers and has recommended the
same in all his reports. The present
method of working the carriers Is more or
less of an experiment and, il Is declared.
entails no hardship on the men. as under
the civil service laws they can be worked
only. eight hours a day. no matter how
many trips they are required to make.

FOR USE IN ORDNANCE TESTS.
Monitor Brought to Washington by
Navy Department.

The monitor Tallahassee. formerly
the Florida, arrived at the Washington
navy yard this morning from the Nor
folk navy yard. where she had been
under repairs for several months past
She is a modern coast defense vessel,
and is sister ship of the Ozark, now
used as a practice vessel by the naval
battalion of the District. Like that
vessel she is heavily armored and
carries two 1e-inch rifles and four
4-inch rapid-fire guns in her main bat
terry, and thirteen smaller guns of diff
ferent caliber in her secondary battery.
II was reported that the Tallahassee
was sent here for the use OF the Dis
trict Naval Battalion, but that report
is denied at the Navy Department. The
vessel is TO be used exclusively in vari-
Gus tests and experiments OF ordnance
and ordnance material while in this
vicinity, the character of which is an
official secret.
The length of her stay in this harbor
Is not stated, but il is probable she
will remain here for several weeks.

STOCKS

Boston. Mass. Feb. 2S.-The divi-
bends of 81 on Calumet & Arizona and
so cents of North Butte were about
what was expected and the market
showed no change. After II was an
nouncel that there would be no tobacco
decision today. the whole list had a
substantial rally and the closing prices
were the best of the day In the local
market Greene Gananea, Lake Copper
and Allouez were the most active Lake
opened at 70 and quickly sold down to
7Oh. At the low prices good support
was furnished and a rally to rs was
quick and decisive. The advice given
Saturday on Lake should not be con-
strued as a bearish opinion on the
stock. The showing at the mine is re-
markable and there is everything to
expect that 1t will continue. The flu
ture of the whole list has never looked
so bright.-Paine. Weber & Co.

A MONOPOLY OF UNIONS.

The Western Federation of Miners
and the engineers union have caused
no little loss to the people of Butte,
including the union members. 1t has
come to that pass that there is now
a great rivalry in unionism, and COM
netting organizations in this line have
sprung up. There are many jealousies
among those who want soft jobs, and
the number of those who wish to be
dictators occupying places the con-
duet of which do not blister the hands,
are many. 1t isn't always easy for
the real workingmen to discriminate
between these fellows who want TO
rule or ruin, and each gets a follow
ing. Butte has been most unfortunate
the past few years due to labor
troubles, or, more correctly, troubles
between laborers, the unions having
been fighting among themselves. The
Amalgamated Copper company, sign
ing articles of agreement between its
employees and itself, now insists that
it will not depart from the letter or
spirit of the contract. The unions can
not change their decision. Such
course on the part of the company is
the only one it could assume with
any degree of business. The unions
recognize it, and are devoting their
harsh words to themselves. The mines
have been closed and wages are not
being earned. When unions turn to
eating each other their treasures do
not last long. our American miners
are used to a pretty good bill of fare,
spend their money literally, and too
few of them have surplus put by for
any very extensive idle period. The
Butte labor union business seems to
be pretty badly overdone. 1t is just
such things as are now TRANSPORTING at
Butte that causes many labor-employ-
ing concerns to insist on an open
shop.-Ishpeming Iron ore.

GAY q sTUReis GOSSIP.

Calumet. Feb. 2S.-After weak
opening the copper market rallied and
several of the more active issues
showed gains for the day.
Lake sold down to 70Is in the early
trading but strong buying appeared
and the stock rallied to 75%.
on the declaration of a so cent quar-
terly dividend, North Butte sold
up to 37M. The worst is now
out on North Butte and the
stock should do better. Calumet d
Arizona declared 81 quarterly dividend
with no apprecable effect on the stock.
Oseeola No. 5 and shafts closed
down today cutting off production en-
tlrely from that end of the mine. Nee
essary repairs to the shafts and chan
ges i'm two heads of the mill are the
reasons given for the shut down.
The curbs were quiet with little do
ing and what little there was so well
distributed that 1t showed no favorite.
Boston, Feb. 2S.-Miller & Co. have
dispatch which says: The last Lake
mill run was made from the poorest
rock in the mine purposely to ascer-
tain If ii would show any copper and

New York. Feb. 2S.-The selling OF
the market Saturday was based on the
fact that the supreme court would re-
sumo its sessions today and the possi-
bility of decision in the tobacco case

alive banking interests are of the
