PUBLIC PAYS REBATES
s1,000,000 a Year Added to
New Workers Fruit Bills.
TFrom The Tribune Bureau !

Washington, Nov 24-CompIaint has
been made I'm Washington against an al
legged system OF rebatlng in carriage
charges on fruit in New York. and per
haps other distributing centres. but IL is
found that the Interstate Commerce
Commission has no jurisdiction to remedy
the evil. The fruit movement in New
York Is very heavy, often amounting TO
hundreds, and even thousands Of car
loads In week IL Is claimed that there
has been rake-of OF rebate In the
carriage OF California and other fruit
amounting 10 about IS carload. II is
said the alleged rebsting may amount to
100000 q year. which is an added burden
To the consumer. In some cases IL has
been a double loss, being assessed sec
oud time against the growers.
Practically all the California fruit
reaching New York Is sold at auction 10
iobbers and retailers. The buyer paws
for the delivery Of the fruit TO him OF a
carriage schedule fixed by the cartmen OF
truCkmen, based on zone system. This
delivery charge has been approximately
four, five and six cents a package for the
different zones. II is charged that, while
these have long been the rates, the truck
men for years have competed with each
other in giving rebates 10 the receivers
of the fruit, aud the receivers have COM
monty designated the truckmen giving
them the biggest rebates AK the ones who
should have the privilege OF delivering
the fruit.
nlut,, Hta
cartmen recently submitted 10 a biz
shipper q proposition for carriage which
eliminated rebates and based the charges
on the cost OF delivery. The new charges
amounted TO saving OF two cents
package. Jr IS carload, to the buyer
and consuming public. The cartmen In
general, possibly melted by receivers who
had been profiting from the rebate, re-
fused TO meet the new rates. The team
sters' union and the leaders union, fear
ing that their pay would be cut. called
strike and refused to handle any Califor-
MIA fruit under the new schedule. The
cartmen then submitted a schedule one
cent a package higher than the old rate,
and the men demanded an increase of 81
a week In their pay. This was granted
and the higher cartage charges were an
nounoed by the cartmen. Then the buy
ers took up the fight and the cartmen
modified their schedule. but left 1t still
higher than the one which had long been
in effect. The buyers still refused to ac-
cept II, the unions struck and the auction
interests consented to the removal OF the
fruit from the piers under the old sched
ule In order to save some $500, 900 worth of
fruit. The buyers. however, refused 10
buy any more fruit until a satisfactory
carriage charge should be agreed upon.

trade OF the United States this year, ac-
cordlng to predictions made by the Of
Acials OF the Department OF Commerce
and Labor.
The highest former record--&3, 626 ,o00,-

in 1906, and the $4,000. 100000 line was
crossed first In 1899.

BALKAN WAR UNJUST|H|ED
Allies Cause Not Righteous One,
Says Rabbi Joseph Silverman.
REBUKES THE CHURCHES
Says Powers Would Stop Hos
tilities Were Not the Turk
ish People Mahometans.

DR.. Joseph Silverman spoke at the
Temple Emanuel yesterday on the sub
ject Of THE Balkan-Turkish War and
the Peace Movement"
He opened his address with a consider
alton Of the causes OF the present strug-
gle in the East. saying that the war
could not find justification in the popu-
lar imaginative conception that perse-
cuted people were rising against their
oppressive masters and fighting for the
inalienable rights of man" In an effort
to explode the idea that the Balkan
States are fighting for a righteous and
patriotic cause. DR.. Silverman said:
The fact is that until recently the Bal
kan governments were more hostile tow
ard one another than the Turkish EN-
pire was against all OF them together.
Various races and nationalities OF Mace
1onia have been carrying on feud
among themselves for several hundred
years, each race considering itself the
rightful owner of Macedonia. And 1t has
been estimated that the greatest horrors
and the worst cruelties committed in
Macedonia must be attributed to the
Greeks, Bulgarians and their present al
lies rather than TO the Turks
Or. Silverman then went on 10 say
that the real reason for the Balkan at
tack on the Turk was that the Peninsula
States realized that, owing to the sue
cesses of Italy and internal troubles in
the Turkish Empire. the time was OPP
perfume for a temporary silencing Of
their own differences and a united EFFORT
to expel Turkey from Europe. In sum-
ming up, DR.. sllverman said:
The alleged reason for the war Is the
desire Of the Balkan States to be free
from an unjust master, the Turk. The
real reason is that each OF the Balkan
States expects TO obtain more territory
by the partition of Macedonia than II now
has.
The Christian churches Of the world
were rebuked for their silence regarding
the war, the minister saying that in for
mer contests between nations they had
been vigorous in protesting against blood
shed and cruelty, but that now. when
Christian was fighting Mahometan. the
churches said no word about the evils
and barbarism of war. He also criu-
cjsed the peace societies Of the world for
their inactivity in seeking a peaceable
adjustment OF the differences between
the contendlng parties.

.PLUMS FOR DEMOCRATS
Wilson, as President, Can Pro-
vide 1900 with Jobs.
AVERAGE SALARY OF $4,000
Besides These Good Offices,
Many Others Will Be Found
on Uncle Sans Payroll.

Washington. Nov. 24.-"warted. II 900
good Democrats 10 fill II. 900 positions on
the payroll OF Uncle Sam. Apply to
Woodrow Wilson, No. 1000 Pennsylvania
avenue, after March next"
President-elect Wilson probably will not
insert this want ad." in the newspapers.
although he might, for there are prac-
tically 1900 federal offices which are
filled by appointment OF the President.
With the shifting Of the administration In
the White House from Republican 70
Democratic hands il is expected will come
a change in practically every one OF these
places.
II the Jobs carry an average salary OF
50, 1000 a year and that estimate IS re-
garded as conservative, this will involve
the distribution Of $4,000, 600 OF federal
pie. President Wilson can reward quite
a multitude Of hungry party workers IN
this distribution, but he can also cause
lot Of heartburns for those who are not
successful IN the scramble Tor the pie.
After President Wilson has made his
selections for these loo places ne might
look over the ron Of about 10000 other
employees Of Uncle Sam and determine
how many OF those he desires 20 replace.
Most OF this vast army OF workers. how
ever. are under the civil service regula-
tons. and 10 replace them with men OF
different political faith would probably
mean the cutting OF some pretty sharp
corners and juggling with the law.
Since Election Day there has been much
studying Of the federal payrolls to deter
mine just how great will be the shit
among officers and employees. The Re
publicaus have been trying to estimate
their losses and the Democrats have been
figuring how far their hunger for federal
pie would be satisfied. Their studies have
brought 10 light a document published
less than two years ago, showing the
number and status Of federal employees.
That document throws some Interesting
sicel!ghts on what will happen after
March 1 next, when the Democrats take
control Of the federal administration
According TO the figures contained in d
message from the President 10 the Sen
ate. there are S,S45 appointments maze
by the President by and with the con-
sent Of the Senate. In addition 10 these
there are 9O3 appointments made by the
President in which the concurrence or
thu Senate is not necessary. THIS means
appointments by the President to the
number Of 1889. In the period that has
ELAPSED since the time of this compila-
ton some changes have been made
Many Of these appointments carry with
them high salaries and much prestige.

MILLER AWARDED
MATCH OVER YOKEL


st. Paul, March 22.-Walter Young
Miller of st. Paul, claimant of the
worlds championship, was awarded
the decision over Mike Yokel of Salt
Lake City after two and one-half
hours wrestling, neither man getting
a fall.
Yokel appeared the strongest but
his strength was offset by MiIlers
speed. In the first part of the bout
Miller danced and side stepped away
from YokePs plunges to get a hold
and eluded his grasp.
Miller seemed able to squirm out of
every hold and neither man was able
to get a dangerous hold on the other.
Miller had the best holds of the bout
when he got a scissors on the body
twice and q couple of half toe holds.
but was unable to hang on to Yokel.
who threw him off by sheer muscular
power. The consensus of opinion
around the matside was that Miller
had a clear lead on points up to time
he fell to the floor and Yokel's work
in the half hour before the last fifteen
minutes of the bout did not make up
for the superiority Of Miller in the
first two hours. Yokel said after the
bout he thought he should have had
at least a draw.

MANY ENJOYED.COnEDY
Presentation of Norwegian Plot at
Fargo College Was a Com
piets Success.

The presentation of the Norwegian
comedy at Fargo college last evening
was voted a grand success by a large
audience.
People speaking the Norwegian
tongue commented very favorably on
the fiuency OF the language spoken
in the play.
The comical situations could only be
appreciated by Observation-Disclosures lis
teners by the bursts of laughter and
applause from those understanding
them.
The leading parts were well acted by
Miss Krantz and Mr.. Aronson, while
Miss Dorf. Miss Blake, Mr.. VowIes
and MI. Simonitch executed some
clever acting in prominent roles.
The evening was made more enjoy
able by the music from the Fargo
college orchestra, and Norwegian solos
by Miss Beckman and Miss Blaten,
who were forced to respond to several
encores.
