TWICE EACH MONTH.
Employees viii Receive Pay Semi
Monthly Instead Of Monthly,
as Heretofore.

Huntington, W. Va.-The Norfolk &
Western, commencing July 4, will pay
off semi-monthly instead of once a
month The pay days will be on the
LIST and the 18TH.
The change, which will be effective
over the entire system, is made in
accordance with the law passed by
the last Virginia legislature, requir-
ing railroads to pay seni-monthly-
The law will not go into effect until
September, but as the fiscal year Of
the Norfolk & Western commences on
the 1st of July the change will be
made at that time. As goodly por-
ton of the mileage of this railroad is
in Virginia, the management of the
road which transacts all business from
Roanoke, has decided to put the semi
monthly pay into effect all oyer the
system so as to reduce to minimum
the amount of work required to pay
off the thousands of men in the en-
ploy of the road. The annual.pay roll
of the Norfolk g. Western is In the
aeighborhood of S13,000,000 now, and
the distribution of a part of this sum
along the system every two weeks
will be a big boom to the business

ployes because they will not be forced
to wait thirty days for their money,

7. R. LAUNCHES PARTY

ALL FAITHS.
Progressive Party Leaders Are
Watching Baltimore Doings and
Look for Possible Detection.

/ Chicago, June 24.-In grim con
clave, the Roosevelt forces, here last
evening, laid the props for the third
party that is to battle in the presi
Dental campaign with the Colonel at
| it's head.
| The progressive party, to be formed
Of Republicans and Democrats alike,
was started on its way with every
| Indication Of formidable lineup.
Out of the conferences that lasted
all day in Roosevelt's quarters at the
Congress came the conviction that the
progressive party is in the field to
stay through the campaign. No freak
ish whim controls the sternly serious
men who have aligned themselves
with the ex-president. Roosevelt
sounded the sentiment of his leaders
before he determined to break away
from the Republican party. They as
sured him in a way that carried con-
viction that they would stick to the
light to the finish.
Not Republican Soreheads.
Roosevelt impressed the point on
his leaders that the party is not one
to be composed of Republican sore
heads. He is in the field to wage a
progressive fight.
| The ex-president assured his back
ers that the new party has a distinct
fight of its own. He alluded to the
situation in the Democratic party and
impressed upon his leaders that the
progressive party may expect a strong
alignment from the Democratic ranks
If the Baltimore convention fails to
respond to the progressive call of tho
country.
If the Democratic convention nom.
mates reactionary, Roosevelt antic.-
pates that the progressive Democrats
will flock to him While he is not
banking on what may come out of
Baltimore, he is alert to the keen adj
| vantage he would derive If the Demo
Gratis fail to put up a progressive to
run against Taft.
johnson to Manage Affairs.
Roosevelt is promised the support
of many infiuentias progressive Demo-
crats-so it was said-if the Balti-
more convention picks retrogressive
for its candidate He is looking with
anxious anticipation, therefore, to
| what the Democrats do.
The Roosevelt campaign is to. be
managed by Governor Johnson OF
California That was definitely de-
cided last night. Besides the COVER
nor, whose strength in the far west
was the impelling motive for putting
him at the helm, will be seven other
progressives. Among them will be
Francis J. .Heney, the San Francisco
reformer, and Judge Ben Lindsay,
Democrat, of Denver. Governor
Stubs Of Kansas, who has plunged
into the new party with a whoop, will
be another to help guide the new
party ship.
While the remainder of the govern
ing council has not been picked, it is
tipped that Governor Glasscock of
West Virginia; Senator Cummins of
Iowa, and Governor Bass Of New
Hampshire will be in the list.
'The new party" said Colonel
Roosevelt. in talking of it, lis intend
ed to take distinct place in the at
fairs of the country. do not want
1T party for progressive Republicans
alone. It must take In all men who
feel that the progressive principles
are to be carried out"
