Boston Trolley Strikers
 Present Case Today
Charge Division Superintendents With
 Coercion and Perjury.

Boston, July 23.-Having gained what they look upon as technical victory before the State Board of Consolidation and Arbitration, the strik- ing trolley men of the Boston Ele- vated Railway Company today pre- sented their alleged grievances to the Grand Jury at the invitation of Dis trct Attorney Pellettier. The district attorney also summoned before the Grand Jury the president of the ele- vated company, Gen. Vim. A. Bancroft, and two of the directors, Jas. M. Prem dergast and Jas. l.. Richards. The evidence was sought iR connection with the institution of charges of coer- cion and perjury made against some of the roads division superintendents.
 In it's report submitted last night the State Board of Cancellation and Arbitration held that the strikers were justified ill believing that the discharge of more than 200 of their fellows was due to the activity of the men in connection with the form inc ne a union. The division super- Srie--ldantsr in their testimony before the board denied that the discharges were because of union activity.
 MT. Pelletier said that the Grand Jury hearing was held under a stat ute which prohibits the coercing of any employe from joining a labor un- ion, The investigation is expected to continue for several days.

THE POSTOFfICi BILL
 REPORTED TO SENATE
APPROPRIATIONS ABOVE THAT OF HOUSE MEASURE, WHICH PRO.
 VIDES $26O, ,OOO, ,OOU.
Good Roads Feature Stricken Out Parcels Post Section Radi.
 cally Different.

Washington, July 23.-The postof- flee approp opriation, shorn of the good roads provision proposed by the House and embracing a revised parcels post system with charges based on zones of distance, was reported to the Senate today by the DostOffice committee.
 The total appropriations proposed by the bill are above those of the House measure, which carried ap- 2roximately $260,OOO,0OO. One of the principal increases in the pay of rail roads for transportation of mails, the Senate committee adding more than s2,5OO,O00.
 In striking out the Shackleford good roads feature of the House bill, which provided for federal improve ment of highways the Senate commit tee recommends an investigation by a special commission of three House members and three senators and pro- vides for no highway improvement un- til this committee has reported.
 The Barnhart amendment in the House bill for the regular publication of the names of the stockholders of newspapers and periodicals is changed to provide for publication once year when lists of the stockholders are re- quired to be filed with local postmas- ters.
 The parcels post section is radical ly different from that incorporated in the House bill, which provided a flat rate of postoffice government rates for all distance, the Senate provisions oI the Bourne bill slightly modified. Sen ator Bourne recommended that third and fOurth-class mail matter be com bined for the parcels post service but the bill makes the parcels post apply only to fourth-class matter.
 The Senate committee struck out Of the House bill the provision giving to postal employees the right to combine in labor unions and the right to peti- tion congress for redress of their grievances.
 It also provides for the abolishment of the present system of carrying sec ond-class mail by fast freight under what is known as the "blue tag sys- tenn. Under the Senate bill all sec- ond-class matter would be put back into regular mail cars after August 31.
 Steel cars for railway mail service which were required by the House bill are also demanded by the Senate measure.

 We, Hugh Fox and V. o. Alexander, each state that at the tune we assist ed T. J.

We simply counted the names which were shown us as purporting to have been signed to said protest and withdrawal without making any examination into their genuineness, Or whether they were in fact property owners in this county.

A REVELATION.

The unfair and illegal meeting of the Jefferson County Bridge Commits sion did not materialze yesterday. The snap judgment and declaration of ma jOrity in the face of the claim that there was majority listed against the Free Bridge was not recorded. The Free Bridge commissioners did not ride rough shod over the taxpayers of this county. The capitalistic steam roller did not flatten out the helpless farmers and property owners of lief ferson county" There was not an at tempt to do anything that had been heralded by the opponents of the Free Bridge for months would hap pen.
 The Bridge Commission did not sit behind closed doors. Their initial meeting Gin fact all of it's meetings will not bel was not held in the dark. There were no star chamber" pro ceedings The sun shined brilliantly and every window in the Chamber of Commerce assembly room was free of curtain. There was light on every body and everything. Nobody even had to suggest Let there be light
 Even the anti-Bridge people, who were received cordially as they en- tsred, were amazed. They realized for the first time-and it was the first time that the Comm ssion had been given an opportunity to exhibit its fairness or signify it's intention to be fair and square-that somebody hai been misleading them. They csuld not ebelieve their own eyes. The "grafters" we're not in realty grafters-but honest, progressive spirited and fair dealing business men, citizens who have the highest respect for the interests of their fellcw men and who have the welfare of their own interests at heart as we'll
 x What was it that really happened? The Comm ssion met? Yes, it met. There was an air of expectacy about everything. Some of those present looked for antagonistic expressions and action that would 'conficate their propertyv and leave them at the mercy of the superintendent of the poe,.- farm. They had been led to be- lieve this and notwithstanding they are men Of more than the average in- te liaenc believed it. For nolt ks ithey have had it hammered dtos their'dear slittiek kearIets and they have shdard it so offen that they could not help but Believe.

City Council Tuesday morning and de- cided to oil Fifteenth avenue, begin ming at Main street, extending west from Main street as far as Poplar street. But the City Beautiful ladies are undecided whether to go north on Poplar street or to turn south one block to Sixteenth avenue, which is already in good condition and con meets with the Sulphur Springs pike.
 Should the City Beautiful Club de- eide to do the latter there seems to be a strong inclination among some of the automobilists to start a move ment among the owners of the cars in the city to oil the Sulphur Springs pike. from the point where the oiling in the city ends.
 This would make a delightful drive way, not only for automobiles but for other driving, and would be a big step in the line of progress.

In the act to provide for the eX- penses of the government of the Dis trict of Columbia for the year ending June 30, 1912, there is the following provision:
 Section s. No money apprOpria-
 ted by this or any other act shall
 be expended for membership fees
 or dues of any officer or employe
 of the United States or of the Dis-
 trict of Columbia in any society
 or association or for expenses of
 attendance of any person, ats any,
 meeting or convention of members
 of any society or association, un-
 less such fees, dues, or expenses
 are authorized to be paid by spe-
 cific appropriations for such pur-
 poses or are provided for in ex-
 press terms in some general ap-
 prOpriation.
 The effect of this provision is to cripple the educational work that is being done by the United State gov ernment. In bringing about success full reforms, organizations of citizens have been most successful in their work of agitation. They have planted the seed for many great improvements
 The United States government has l always played a large part in this educational work The forestry bu- reau, for instance, has sent lecturers to appear before farmers granges in order that the farmer might have first hand knowledge of how to meet dan gers that arise from forest fires. The various bureaus of the Department ot Aericu1tura likewise have Sont 1no turers to societies agitating for better roads, better farming, better breeding, etc., so that those engaged in the movement might have the benefit of expert advice. Agricultural and in- dustrial schools and meetings of engi- neers and draftsmen have had the benefit of expert advice from the gov ernment
 Millions of American citizens want to know what the government is doing for them, and thousands of meetings of one kind or another have been ad- dressed in the past by employees of the government who have aided in solving problems confronting the citi- zens.
 Under the provision in the District act it is impossible for the government to send out lecturers, no matter how great the demand from the various communities. It is impossible to ex- pect that the employees will pay their own expenses and surrender their sal ary and vacation period in order to continue the splendid educational work that they have been doing- Washington CD.
