CLUBS TRIBUTE
TO WASHINGTON
Committee Arranging Program
of Annual Banquet to Be
Held This Month.
PlNCHOT UNABLE TO COME
Hap Hoped to Secure Him as Orator
of Observation-Disclosures Show to
Start New Home Fund.

In the alternate observance OF the
anniy ersaries of Washington and Lin.
coin, the Rock Island Club this year
will hold its annual banquet In tribute
to the memory OF the father of his
country. The arrangements for the
affair, which will take place at the
clubhouse on Sixteenth street. are IN
the hands Of the executive committee
Of the board of directors. The latter
body had a meeting last evening to
consider plans.
There were hopes until now that
Clifford N. Pinchot, formerly chief Of
the United States bureau of forestry,
might be secured as orator Of the oc-
casion. President w. A. Rosenfield
had correspondence with him, but Mr.
Pinchot, while expressing a desire to
speak to the people here on a subject
to which he has devoted his life IN
studying, has found that it will be i'm
possible to come at this time, owing
to the pressure and number of pre-
viously made appointments.
Good Program Assured.
The final decision Of Mr.. Pinchot has
IN measure upset the original plans
for the banquet, which was to have
been an elaborate affair. However.
the executive committee has it's lines
out for other conspicuous public men.
and the membership has the assurance
Of an interesting program of address
es. The committee expects to be pre-
pared in few days to announce the
names of the speakers.
Minstrel Show Proposed.
The club directors at their meeting
last evening also took up the matter of
minstrel show under the auspices of
the organization in the spring as a
means of starting a fund for a new
home for the club. In former years
the minstrel entertainments of the
club were great successes. financially
and otherwise. the talent having been
selected almost in its entirety from
the membership of the organization.
President Rosenfield personally has
taken up the plans for the minstrel
performance, and he will designate a
committee to have charge of the de-
tails. He proposes that it shall be the
most elaborate public entertainment
ever given by the club.

WEIGHING OF MAIL
Postoffice Department Planning
Task to Determine
Compensation.
COVERS PERIOD 105 DAYS
All Pouches and Sacks on All Trains
and at Every Postal Station
Are to Be Included.

The quadriennial weighing of the
mails by the pOstOftice department
over the railroads west of the Missis-
sippi and Missouri rivers, for the pur-
pose of apportioning the compensation
which will be paid for the transpOrta-
ton of mail matter for four years from
July l. is scheduled to begin next week
Thursday From 12:01 a. m. on that
day and for a period of 105 days fol
lowing every pouch and sack of mail
on every train will be weighed by gov
eminent clerks. On the average weight
thus ascertained the rate Of pay re-
ceived by each road for the four-year
period will be based.
The western roads have been busy
for several days shipping scales and
preparing blanks to be used in record
ing the mail weights. For this pur-
pose the country is divided into four
sections, in one of which the weights
are taken each year.
Graduated Scale of Pay.
The pay is graduated, the ratio de
creasing as the weight increases. On
roads carrying over $4,000 pounds
day the pay is 1924 a ton mile a
year Between 5000 and $4,000 pounds
the rate is 5000 a ton, and below s.
600 pounds it is still higher. Addi-
tiOnal compensation is paid to the
roads for large cars with a mail space
of over 40 feet.
For a long time the railroads have
been endeavoring to have the method
of weighing the mails changed, so that
the compensation will be fixed annual
ly instead of every four years. In the
west, they say, the amount of mail
carried will increase by large amount
during the four-year period. In many
cases the heavy mail of magazine for
instance. has been transferred from
one road to another by a change in
the location of the publishing office, so
that one road has been paid for bust
ness it did not handle while the other
road carried the additional weight free

THE STORY OF THE PEANUT
SHELLS.


AS everyone knows, c. w. Post of
Battle Creek, Mich, is not only a
maker of breakfast foods, but he is a
strong individualist who believes that
the trades unions are a menace to the
liberty of the country.
Believing this, and being natural
born" scrapper for the right as he
sees It, Post, for several years past,
has been engaged in ceaseless war
fare against 1.-The labor trust" as he
likes to call It.
Not being able to secure free and un-
trammeled expression Of his opinions
on this subject through the regular
reading pages Of the newspapers, he
has bought advertising space for this
purpose, just as he is accustomed to
for the telling of his Postum STORY"
and he has thus spent hundreds of
thousands of dollars in denouncing
trades-unionism.
AS a result of Posts activities the
people now know a whole lot about
these organizations; how they are hon
eycombed with graft, how they OBJ
struct the development of legitimate
business, curtail labor's output, hold
up manufacturers, graft upon their own
membership, and rob the public. Nat
urally, Post is hated by the trades
unionists, and intensely.
Iah
can not call out his men, and he de-
fies their efforts at boycotting his
products The latest means OF get
ting" Post is the widespread publica-
ton Of the story that car which was
recently wrecked in transmission was
found to be loaded with empty peanut
shells, which we're being shipped from
the south to Posts establishment at
Battle Creek.
This canard probably originated with
President John Fitzgerald of the Chi
cago Federation of Labor, who, it is
said, stated it publicly, as truth.
Post comes back and gives Fitzger-
aid the lie direct. He denounces Fitz-
gerald's statement as a deliberate false
hood. an undetermined and cowardly at
tempt to injure his business, having
not the slightest basis in fact. AS such
an effort it must be regarded. 1t is
significant that this statement about
"the peanut shells" is being given
wide newspaper publicity. In the
patent inside" Of an eastern country
paper I find it, and the inference nat
urally is that labor-unionists are insid-
iously spreading this lie.
An institution Tor MANI which will
resort to moral intimidation and to
physical force, that will destroy ma
chinery and burn buildings, that will
main and kill if necessary to effect its
ends. naturally would not hesitate to
spread falsehood for the same pur-
poses.
We admire Post. While we have no
enmity toward labor unions. so long as
they are conducted in an honest, Tive
and-let-live" kind of a way, we have
had enough of the tarred end Of the
stick to sympathize thoroughly with
what he is trying to do He deserves
support A man like Post can not be
killed, even with lies. They are a
boomerang. every time. Again we
know. for hasn't this weapon. every
weapon that could be thought of. been
used land not simply by labor unions1
to put us out of business too?
l am going TO drink two cups of
Postum every morning from this time
on, and put myself on diet of Grape
Nuts. Bully for Post!-Editorial in

icine.
