POSTAL STRIKE m ENGLAND.
Demands Of $3.50 Employee Rejected
BY Postmaster General.

London, Dec. 12.-There IL to be no
general strike Of the 97.b00 government
employees In the post, telegraph and
telephone service during the Christmas
holiday season. but the grievances OF
the workers have not BEEN satisfied and
union leaders declared "the situation
Is becoming moro acute"
The secretary OF the national COM
mittee on postal workers unions an
nounced last evening that action on tho
strike proposals had been deferred"
He gave this information to the news
papers after q prolonged interview be-
tween q delegation OF the workers and
Herbert Samuel. the postmaster gen.
eral, who reiterated his refusal to con-
slider their demand for increased pay.
c. II. Stuart, the mems secretary, de-
clared the postmaster generals reply
absolutely unacceptable. but said the
whole question would have &c BE -e-
ferred to the national joint committee
Of the unions.
Concessions already made by the
Postmaster General to the demands OF
the postofrice stan, it is officially
stated. will cost the country more than
36,000,000. When Mr.. Samuel refused
today to consider further demands, he
told the union leaders that II a strike
was begun at Christmas time. the
country would demand measures to
render the recurrence OF such thing
impossible. This was taken to mean
the strikers would be refused further
employment.
Mr.. Stuart said:
"Mr Samuel agrees 70 give an imme-
diate raise in pay to men and women
whose wages In Londan are 1915 a
week or less. and $3.50 or less in the
provinces; this would mean that a
certain number Of men and women
would get increases ranging from 2
cents to 80 cents q week; only about
25 per cent OF the staff would be af
fected. mostly postmen.
"The main argument on which we
rely is that the board Of trade, to whom
tho postoffice appealed, showed there
had been an increase in the cost OF
living Of more than II per cent since
the last revision OF wages In the post
office. The Holt committee recommen-
dations, together with Mr.. Samuers
further concessions, do not give an In
crease in pay OF over ~ or per cent

ExPREssaiEN PLEAD ron MERCY.
Declare Parcsl Post and New Fedsrsl
Ratso lmperiI Business.

Chicago. Dec. 1.-THE railroad ex-
press companies are begging for mercy.
Between the parcel post, the interstate
commerce commission, and the 1nde-
pendent rate regulation Of the various
states Of the union they say they are
actually imperiled.
Officers and counsel for evory big
interstate express company attended
the convention Of the National Associ-
alton Of National Commissioners at the
Hotel La Sale yesterday to plead for
"fair play" Railroad commissioners
from twenty-five states and the inter-
state commerce commissioners were
delegates to the meeting.
The particular point Of contention -
the proposed new block system express
rates which 20 into effect on Feb. l.
w. A. Ryan, rate expert for the
interstate commerce commission, an
nounced that the new government ex-
press rate would be lower than the
parcel post rate on all packages over
six pounds shipped more than 1b0
mileS -
This knowledge and tests made by
the express companies, which disclosed
that the new interstate tariffs would
cause big reductions in thirty-one
states and increases in only fourteen
caused their plea to the state officials
to co operate with the interstate COM
merce commission in an effort to es-
tablish uniform schedules In all states.
According to the express company
figures the Interstate rate. II applied to
Illinois shipments within the state,
would cause a reduction in the present
tntrastate express rate Of 4.62 per cent.
1ndiana's reduction Is figured at 7os
and Wisconsin at 14.37.
Minnesota and Iowa, however. are
among the states In this vicinity that
will suffer II the interstate rate IL ac-
.cepted as basis for state tarins. The
express company figures forecast an
increase in Minnesota Of 1872. while in
Iowa the increase is placed at 1854 per
cent.
It is this discrepancy in the new
goyernmen schedule that caused some
of the state commissioners to voice
q protest against increases as loud az
the express companies previously had
protested against reductions when they
were siven q hearing by the Interstate
commerce commission some weeks ago
In Washington.
