Washington, May 3.-Conferees of
both houses of Congress on the Gen
eral Service Pension bill reached an
agreement on the basis of the Senate
bill, with some increases for advanced
age and length of service. This action
is said to assure the enactment of the
General Service bill into law.
The increases grant SIS a month to

served three years. Those 10 years
old who served one and a half years
get $21.5O; two years, $23; two and a

Those of IS years who served one and

PLANS COMPLETE
FOR ROAD WORK
Commissioner BigeIOw Soon To
Announce Program
BIDS TO BE ASKED FOR SOON
Loss Of Automobile License Fees Re.
stricts Departments Activity.
Allegheny County Already
Has Good Roads.

Harrisburg, Pa.-Commissione Ed.
ward NJ. Bigelow will announce the
bulk of the spring and summer road
building program of the State High
way Department within the next 10
days, as he has been on visits of in
spection to some western counties
where applications for building under
the state aid plan are pending. The
commissioner has already announced
that bids will be opened this month
on six sections of road, including two
in western tier counties, and one "a
600 foot section of the national road
in Washington county.
The remainder of the list is being
made up very carefully, as the funds
of the department are limited, owing
to the stand of the auditor general
that it is not entitled to the use OF
the income from automobile licenses,
which is directed to be paid to the
credit of the road building funds by
the automobile license law.
Only such sections as are actually
in need of roads or which it is deem
ed important for future operations to
construct will be built. Careful in
spections of various counties are be-
ing made to spread around his means
as much as possible.
The chances are that but one dis
trict in Allegheny county will get a
road built under the state aid plan. A
couple are under consideration, but
the big county has such fine system
and other sections are so much more
in need of the highways, that one is
likely to be the limit. Several other
western counties will be cared for. In
the neighborhood of Philadelphia prob
ably the same arrangement will be
made
Work on the southern road in West
moreland and Somerset counties is tc
be pushed and four sections of the ma
tional road, three now under contract,
will be constructed this summer.
Other roads will depend on the way
the funds hold out, although the COM
missioner would like to commodate
every district which needs first-class
road.

Auto Licenses Number 10000.

Harrisburg.-The state highway de-
partment has issued automobile Ii
cense tag No. 10000 and broken all
records for putting out the number
plates which are evidence of registra-
ton. The issue is only 4,272 behind
the total registration of cars last year
and as 34,351 was the total of 1909,
the best previous year, it is evident
that the people of Pennsylvania are
spending large sums for automobile.
and that the use of the vehicle is
growing tremendously. 1t is believed
that the $4,000 mark will be passed
this year.
The automobile registrations have
brought in approximately 100000,
allowing so for a car, which is a fair
average, and this money, together
with the $1,400,0O0 realized from reg
istration in previous years, will likely
be appropriated by the legislature to
the highway department for road
building purposes. Such was the very
evident intent of the legislature in
1907 and 1909, but owing to the
wording of the specific appropriations
act of 1909, Auditor General Sisson
has ruled that acts particularly men
tioning the sums adm the period COW
cred must be passed before the road
constructing department can obtain
the use of the money. The result has
been to tie up considerable road worb
on the state aid plan which it was
hoped to construct this summer.

ASK IN NAME

Greatest Tag Day in City's His

OVER $4,000 WAS GIVEN
And the Best of II Was That Every
body Gave Willingly-Money
is to Establish Chill
drens Ward.

Pittsburgh, Pa.-There were streaks
of yellow Saturday almost to everyone
in Pittsburgh But the saffron hue
was badge of charity, for it was Tag
Day. The person unspotted with the
yellow disk was looked upon as sus-
picious. More gloriously than the
sun shone the yellow paper emblems.
Men, whose public spirit had dwindled
to about % around the waist, sudden
ly became inflated The little yellow
tags did the work-injected more real
charity, more public spirit, more kind
ness and more real fellowship than
month of exhortation.
flashing automobiles stopped sud
denly at curbs. To the rumbling and
coughing of motors, men and women
known only by name and sight to
thousands in Pittsburgh, dug deeply
into pockets and purse, produced rolls
of bills, peeled off few yellowbacks
and got in return few yellow tags.
The tags were worth about 'steen
of a cent, but those who gave showed
they were tickeled at driving such a
good bargain.
Early in the day, just about the
time folks were going to work, the
taggers were stationed at prominent
places all over the city. Pretty girls
button holed the man with the dinner
bucket and the man with the cutaway
coat and silk hat. Both grinned.
They liked it. There was no use de-
nying the taggers. Before you knew
il a yellow tag fluttered from your
lapel. Yellow tags became as neces-
sary as suspenders to men and hair
pins to women.
Toward evening, tagless persons
were extremely scarce. In all, about
1000 girls and women formed the tag
gers brigade. They were stationed
in all parts of the city, and remained
on duty until o'clock at night, After
that, and until II o'clock, the East End
was besieged by the tag troopers. A
leading financier in the Frick building
gave a girl a check for $1,000.
At the East End Savings and Trust
Company, the main depository for the
Tag Day receipts, it was stated the
total realized would reach more than
$4,000. The exact amount will not
be known tor few days.
All this and more will go toward
the establishment of a children
ward at Pittsburgh Hospital, East
End. The hospital, operated by the
Sisters of Mercy, is non-sectarian.
The money will form part of sum
to erect an annex to the hospital for
the treatment of child patients.

F|REMEN'S WANTS
DEMANDS MADE AS RAILROADS
NAME ARBITRATOR TO ADJUST
DISPUTE WITH ENGINEERS.
ASK INCREASE OF $25, 1000,
Eastern Roads Called On for Huge
Yearly Payment While Engineers
Dispute Remains Unsettled-Mana-
gers Conference Will Meet.

New York, May 3-Now the loco
motive firemen on Eastern railways
want higher wages.
No sooner was way opened up for
settling the engine drivers dispute
than the railway managers received
the demands of the firemen.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Engine Men, through
their President, w. S. Carter, of Peo-
ria, ILL.,, presented to the Railway Man
ayers Conference Committee, of the
fifty Eastern railroads, set of de-
mands, almost similar to the demands
made on the railroads by the engine
drivers.
No estimate has as yet been made
as to the percentage of increase asked
by the tiremen, but the railway man
ayers say the annual increase asked
amounts to between $25,OOO,OOO and
$S0,000,O00 yearly.
J. c. Stuart, Chairman of the Rail.
way Managers Conference Committee
acknowledged receipt of the demands
and informed Mr. Carter the demands
would be taken up at the next meet
ing.
In the demands, many changes are
asked and many concessions are de-
manded. One requests that on all coal
burning locomotives in freight service
a fireman and an assistant fireman
shall be employed. At present, there
is only one fireman. This demand, if
granted, would mean an annual in
crease of more than $60,000,000 as
there are $4,000 firemen, and it would
mean an additional $4,000 men, at
about $3.50 a day.
Another demand states:
Firemen shall be relieved from all
cleaning of engines, tanks, fires and
fues, securing of brass, painting of
stacks, smoke arches and front ends.
The demands also include univer.
sal ten-hour-aday scale, and all over.
time shall be paid.
