Postal Clerks Ask Right to Organize

EMPLOYEES of the postal service,
particularly the men employed il
the railway mail branch, are making a
determined fight for legislation under
which they may organize and affiliate
with the American Federation of La
Dor. Samuel Gompers, president of
the federation. is supporting the move
ment.
Many men formerly in the postal
service, but who were let out because
they were active in encouraging am
ployees of the service to organize, have
told the committee Of the wrongs
which they assert are done the en-
ployees. In a general way, the griev-
ance of the employees is that men are
frequently dismissed for purely polit.
ical reasons, men let out Of the serv-
ice have no recourse.
1t is pointed out that the p~ostofice
department now forbids the Individual
employee from laying any complaint
he may have before his senator or
member Of congress. The civil service
commission has come in for much
criticism because 1t has not taken
more interest in cases of dismissed EN-
ployees. Witnesses have pointed out
to the committee that the commission
will not act in the case of a dismissed
employee unless 1t has prima facie evi.

Would Label the Unspoken "Speeches"

The Record. under the present sys.
tenn, Is not a true report of the pro-
ceedings of the house. 1t may we'll
be that an article of value, prepared
by a member Of congress, should be
printed in the Record, but 1t should be
SO designated.
But to my mind the greatest end
that would be attained under this sys.
tenn would be the shortening of
speeches in congress and the restora.
ton Of debate to a plane it once occu-
pied.
THE first result of labelling things
in the record by their right names
would be the abandoning of the pres.
emit abuse by individual representa-.
tives. When a mans constituents be-
gin to ask him, Did you really deliver
this speech. or did you just have it
printed? he will quit the practice.
Congress could not possibly afford
the time that would be necessary for
the delivery of all the speeches that
appear in the Record. Therefore,
speeches will have to be shortened,
and they ought to be. No man needs
an hour In congress to explain an
idea. Half an hour, and usually less.
ought to be enough for any man."

Officers Named for Imaginary Army

was a more real, more tangible and
more formidable force than the ghost.
ly army of United States volunteers.
It's a Joker in the Dick militia bill, en-
acted into law by congress on May 27,
1908.
The Dick bill originally provided for
an actual army Of United States voluat
teers similar to the volunteers who en-.
listed for the Spanish-American war
after state organizations were found
to be troublesome.
The bill also provided for a separate
section for an eligible list from which
officers were to be commissioned when
the army of United States volunteers,
subject only to the will of the com.
mander-in-chief of the armies Of the
United States, might be called into be-
ing in a condition Of wal.
The section providing for the vol
unteer army was stricken from the bill
in the course Of a legislative wrangle
yer the privilege Of the states to or.
ganize volunteers. The authority ere.
ating the army was thus destroyed, but
the contingent section bringing into ex'
istence the list Of eligibles for the
army's commissioned Off Ulcers was not
disturbed. The bill thus passed con.
gress, disembodying the army but pro
viding officers for 1t. That is why
the war department is now qualifying
men as eligibles.

FARMING WORK SUSPENDED.
Hot Weather Causes Abandonment o.
Fields.

Jackson.-For the first time within
the memory of the Oldest inhabitant in
Mississippi, it has been necessary to sus'
pend farming operations because OF the
intensely, hot weather.
Reports received here from over the
state during the past few days are to
the effect that there has been a complete
abandonment of farming work because
of the unusual heat, and virtually moth
ing has been accomplished since last
Tuesday.
Varying reports are made of the max
imum temperature, the figures differing
according to the accuracy of thermom-
eters in use, but at no time have the
official reports from government weather
stations showed a maximum of less than
"a degrees during the past week, and
some places report a maximum OF 100
degrees.
Numerous heat prostrations, which
heretofore have been very rare in Mis-
eissippi, are being received, and in two
or three instances fatalities have re-
suited.

dence that the dismissal was because
Of politics. 1t is next to impossible,
say the dismissed employees who have
testified, to prove that men were re-
moved from the service through polit.
ical influence.
Some of the new members of the
house who have become much interest
ed in the grievances of the postal EN-.
ployees believe a remedy of some sort
will be found in tie committee on civil
service.
The whole subject is likely to hold
the attention Of congress throughout
this special session and perhaps
throughout the regular session. The
committee on expenditures in the post
Office department has been authorized
by the house to make an investigation
of the postoffice department, and it,
too, will 90 into this question as to
whether the employees of the differ
emf branches of the service are being
properly treated.

TELLS OF NATCHEZ TRACE.
Mrs. Dunbar Rowland Contributes 4
Valuable Paper.

Jackson.-Among the many recent
contributions to the historical literature
pertaining to the earlier days of Mis-.
sissippi, there is none which seems to
possess a more interesting and romantic
touching of color than that which re-
wives the romantic story of the hatcher
trace. Dedicated to the Mississippi So.
ciety of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, Mrs. Dunbar Rowland has
recently brought forward in interesting
and easily accessible form her valuable
paper pertaining to the old Matches
trace, "the oldest historic highway OF
the lower South" which was published
in volume ri of the qualifications Of
the Mississippi Historical Society" In
view of the fact hat the Daughters Of
the American Revolution are blazing
the way toward securing through the
cooperation of the several states of this
lower South, a re-marking Of this ole
highway, over which from Kentucky,
Tennessee, the Carolinas, and even old
Virginia, the forefathers of Mississippi,
those who came to the land of the
Chickasaws and Choctaws, the Natchez
and the old Spanish and French set
tiers, ere the period at which statehood
came to Mississippi, this bringing for
ward of the history and data pertaining
to the old "trace" seems appropriate
and timely.
The records of the land office, in
which the entire survey of this old road
is shown, indicate that it passed
through thirteen Mississippi counties, to-
wit: Adams, jefferson, Claiborne, Kinds,
Madison, Leakc, Choctaw, Webster,
Chickasaw, Pontotoc, Lee, Prentiss and
Tishomingo.

a clear, concise statement of the pur.
poses of this great Southern railroad in
developing the South and offering in.
ducements to the people throughout the
state for better roads, the greatest need
of the people. The lectures and DEM
onstrations were conducted oy d. H.
Winslow and w. H. Fairbanks from
stereopticon views, with practical in
structions for building good roads, also
exhibiting working mo[els of improved
road building machinery.
Mr.. Winslow is an expert in the work
and clearly demonstrates every feature
of the work. They took an auto drive
over some of the roads in this section
and expressed an opinion that the roads
in this county could be made available
and durable for years.

CONvICTS STRIKE.
Commit No Act Of Violence, but Refuse
to Go to Work.


Jackson.-Monday was a strenuous
day at Rankin penitentiary farm, dur
ing which a number of the white men
serving terms of punishment there,
quietly but emphatically refused to go
out to their regular field work. There
WAS no overt act of violence or insub-
ordination committed by the men, but
they simply refused point blank to go
to the field, claiming that they are
being overworked and under-fed.
The insurrectos are all what are
known as "gun men," or those kept UNI
der strict surveillance, led by such noted
prisoners as Will Sorsby, Dan Maybee,
Jack Durinb, W. L. Lyttle and others.
They offered no violence, but represent
ed to Sergeant Mccoy that until condi-
tions are bettered they did not intend
to turn out in the hot sun on what they
termed short rations for long hours.
superintendent j. C. Cathings, who
was in the city when the trouble broke
out, went Immediately to the farm and,
together with Sergeant Mccoy, rallied
the disaffected convicts into form and
returned them to work. 1t is hoped that
there will not be a repetition of the
trouble.

STATE HAS ADEQUATE FUNDS.
treasury in Better Condition Than in
Previous Years.

view of the fact that
the treasury books of Mississippi at
the beginning of June showed a bal.
ance on hand of over 81 ,055, 900, as CON-
pared with ~$579,295.42 at the same Pc
Rod OF 1910, and $554,726.24 in June,
1908, the state officials are c%onprat-
ulating themselves on the fact that
while there are some heavy drafts due
on the general balance, which nay 90
to the three-quarters of a million be-
fore the end OF August, there is no
likelihood of being compelled to scoop
the bottom of the "bar'r too closely.
There will be the draft OH the general
treasury for the amount of the common
school fund distribution, which is $474,.
500, the distribution of which was made
by the auditor last week and warrants
for which are already finding their way
back to the treasury, and this, together
with appropriations for summer nor
mails, and for the university, colleges
and institutions, will cut quite a slice
out of the available funds. 1t is esti.
mated that there will be revenues DUR
ing June amounting to approximately
$500,O0o, which will help to keep the
work of want and stringency from the
treasury doors during the long dull
months before regular tax paying time
arrives.
The next general heavy drafts On the
treasury will be that for the meeting of
Confederate pensions, along during De-
cember, which will amount to another
100000, and it may require some nurs-
ing of resources, including the proceeds
of the great bond sale of 1901, which
brought 100000 additional to the reg
ular revenue funds, to meet these war
rants. That is a bridge which is some
little distance away and there is ample
time in which to prepare for the cross
ing.
