Unlikely That There Will Be ANY

President Wilson's cold today was
somewhat better, but under the orders
of his physician he remained in his
bedroom, spending much OF the time
lying down. The cold is in the head
and throat, but is yielding to treat
ment, and the expectation is that Mr.
Wilson will be much improved tomor-

contrary. existing engagements are
being Cancelled in anticipation of the
President having to forego official

there will be no reception of visitors

May Not Receive Suffragists.

White House officials will probably be
unable to comply with the request of the
National Woman Suffrage Convention
that the President receive the delegates
TO that convention today or tomorrow,
owing to the Presidents indisposition. A
committee from the convention, composed
OF Mrs. Medill Mccormick and Mrs.
Desha Breckenridge called at the White
House today to ask for an appointment.
Nothing was said by, the committee as
10 the resolution Of the convention re-
questing the President to make recon-
mendations to Congress favorable to
woman suffrage in his next address or
message TO that body. 1t is presumed
that this matter will be taken up with
the President at later date
Those who know the Presidents views
on woman suffrage aver that he Is not
in the least unprepared to meet the prop
osition to be placed before him and that
he will probably give direct answer.

Cent Postage Predicted

Washington, April The recent
action of the Postmaster General in
instituting an inquiry as to the actual
financial, physical and working con
ditions of the postal service is regard
ed in certain quarters as the initial
step toward the reduction Of postal
rates on first class mail, or the intro
duction of one cent letter postage. Au-
thorities on postal matters assert that
the, Postofice Department is piling up
an enormous surplus on letter mail
each year estimated at approximately
$4,000. 1t is further said that, al
though letter mail constitutes only IA
per cent of the revenue of the depart
ment it pays about IS per cent of the
revenue received from all classes. This
estimate, however, is made without
taking the parcel post into considera-
ton, this new departure not having
been in operation long enough to fur
nish any reliable statistics. . The in
vestigating commission is composed
of officials in the Postoffice Depart
,ment, and the findings of the commits
sion will be eagerly awaited.

The Way To Fight

Erie, Pa, Apr. Those who are
managing the iron molders' contest in
this city are to be commended for the
manner in which the fight is being con-
Quoted. Some time ago an Injunction
was issued with the usual restrictive
provisions. Thirteen Of the iron mold
erS were arrested for violation OF the
Injunction. Instead of paying the fines
of $25 each the iron molders accepted
the pail sentence and were accompan-
led by a large escort of union molders
on their way to jail. The men who
went to jail will be paid $1,000 week
and committee from the nnion will
see that their families OF those depen-
dent upon them, are taken care of.
his is a strategic position to take and
as this injunction prohibits the strtk-
ers from doing those things which the
constitution of the state, and the Uni
ted States gives them the lawful right
to do, It might not be a bad idea to let
the county become the official board
ing house. for the thousand iron mod
ers now on strike. Whenever the union
men begin to use tactics like those en-
ployed in this case, judges Of courts
will think twice before filling
with men who have not committed
crimes, but simply exercised their
rights as American citizens

THE old, Old STORY

Kingston, Canada, Aril The
Kingston branch of the Journeymen
Stone Cutters of North America was
organized in 1900, and since that time
the wage scale has been. advanced
from So per day of ten hours to 81 per
day of eight hours, without resort to
strike. The Stone Cutters Union was
two years ahead of the other local
unions in securing the eight hour day.
The achievements of this uni IN are
indisputable evidence of the efficacy
of the collective action of workmen.
While this is but one instance of the
unions Of labor making great gains
for their membership, yet it is the old,
old story. !.

Municipality Owned Road

San Francisco, April The mu-

profits. In February it showed clea1
gain of $1,154.35 over January. The
record for the time the road has been
in operation up to March 1st show
total receipts of $3s,3S5.S5 with operat
ing expenses of $21, 435.11, leaving a
balance of $17,950.74. Deducting from
this latter figure the interest charge
and redemption payments on the part
of the road now in" operation, there
remains a net profit of about $4,000
over all charges and expenses. This is
surely a good showing for the new en-
terprise.
