CAPITAL CHAT,
The Postal Savings Bank
Bill Is Passed.
Senator Crane Is Instrumen-
tai in Getting Results.
Harmony Now Prevades IN the
Republican Ranks.

Washington. D. c., March 10.-(Spe-
the top of the hill!
So the politicians at Washington are
saying of President Taft. Perhaps
their EXPLANATIONS, of the sort just
mentioned, are a trif1e in advance OF
the actualities, In any event the ex-
Carnations are optimistic in the right
direction. The "dOings" of recent
days have dispelled the gloomy Re-
publican forebodings of the "on-the-
toboggan" character which Republic
cans at Washington are accustomed TO
indulge in in mid-winter and which
they forget about the time the spring
begins to break in this delightful eli
mate.
That old friend. the Postal Savings
bank bill, is past the Senate hurdles,
hoor2h, In spite Of all the high
humping pla ces built across its course,
old Postal Savings bank bill cleared
'em all gloriously and went spinning
over the ensl of the Senate course in
great trim. The Republican portion
of the country is already ringing with
acclaim at the way regulars and in
surgents all surged into one party
camp anu give pitl 'HtdI 90 mp

1t was all done in a night. Just when
the psychological moment came, there

ARRANGING CLOAK WAGES
Striking Workmen Will Return
to Factories This Week.

There was q general feeling Of satisfac-
tion among the cloaknakers yesterday al
the settlement of their strike Abraham
Rosenberg president of the International
Women's Garment Workers. said it might
be week before the strikers return 70
work. The reason they cannot return at
once" he said, is that under the agree
nient reached the piece workers will ar
range prices with the employers individ-
ualy, This will take q few days"
Committees of the employees who work by
the piece system called a. the factories
where they worked yesterday forenoon to
arrange for a basis OF prices. The wages
of the week workers are settled under the
terms of the peace protocol and shop meet
ings were held in a number Of halls on the
East Side last evening TO figure on the
prices
In reference to reports that there was
graft in the settlement of the strike Alex
ander Bloch. chairman of the settlement
committee Of the strikers said:
There is not shadow of foundation for
such rumors. But for the selishness of
some of the small manufacturers the strike
could have been settled a week ago. We
are accused of selling out to the manu-
facturers and in the same breath others
say we received money from the small man
ufacturers TO prolong the strike, AS a
matter of fact the strike leaders are bossed
by the strikers There were fifty in the
strike committee If there was anything
that was not straight the whole fifty would
have to be nuzzled'
