-FOUR BUSY WEEKS
AHEAD OF WILSON
PreSident-EIeCt Determined to
Put Through Trust Bills
Before Leaving Jersey.
IBv TeIegranh 70 1.he ,rrihune ]


Princeton, y. j., Feb. 2-President-elec,
Wilson has only four weeks more TO
serve as Governor of New Jersey, but
they promise to be the most strenuous
of his short though interesting career in
politics. Ordinarily President-elect finds
the opportunities of office seekers and the
plans for his administration enough TO
keep him busy the greater part of tie
time intervening between election and in
auguration.
Not so Governor Wilson, however, for
in addition to the selection OF a Cabinet
reaching a decision as to what shall be
taken up at the special session, and the
hundred and one other things on which
decisions must be made, Governor Wilson
has undertaken to see TO ii that Demo-
cratic Legislature in his own state keeps
out of Jim" Smiths control long enough
to pass a number OF measures of wide
spread Importance.
Mr. Wilson says his mind il still open
as TO the makeup OF his Cabinet, nor
has he decided on any other appoint
ments. He also says he Is still undecided
as TO his plans for the special session
Yet he has plunged into a fight In New
Jersey for the enactment OK q number OF
reform measures.
When asked about It all. he smilinglyl
declares he expects. to leave here for
Washington on March with his pet
measures on the statute books Of New
Jersey, and with the names OF his CAbi-
net, his plans for the special session and
his inaugural address safely tucked away
In his inside pocket.
Governor Wilson wants to SEQ. the
Seven sisters" as he affectionateiy re-
fers to his anti-corporation bills. passed.
by both branches Of the Legislature be-
fore he starts for Washington, so no can
make them part OF the laws OF New Jer-,
sey by aff1xing his own signature to
them He also wants to sign a bill pro-
viding for a constitutional convention, and
expects to have laws enacted providing
for the elimination of grade crossings
! and reform in the drawing Of grand and
petty juries.
All this the Presdent-elect hopes to sea
accomplished In one short month, and
he intends 10 get right down to bust
ness tomorrow to see that IL is done.
While much opposition TO his anti-cor-
poration measures is looked for in the
House. il was learned to-day that they
will pass the Senate almost unanimously.
as the Republican Senators have made It
plain that they are as much opposed To
monopoly as is Governor Wilson, and will
support his bills II they are assured that
honest business men will not be harmed
thereby.
The Senate Committee on judiciary will
give a hearing on the seven sisters" at
1890 o'clock tomorrow morning at the
State House at Trenton.
While IL is reported that a number of
corporation lawyers will be at to-mor-
rows hearing to oppose these bills. it IS
generally believed the real opposition will
come from persons who fear loss OF
revenue and a subsequent placing of tile
burden on the taxpayers of the state.

Postal Savings Banks.

The establishing OF postal savings banks
at Presidential postoffices was completed
early I'm the fiscal year ended June 80
.Te-the year covered by the report. Since
tho1 the system has been extended to
t.oi roG:th class postofiices rs well as 20
tij branch Offices and stations in the
larger cities. There arc now l2,sl2 postal
savings banks at which patrons may open
accounts The number of depostors IS
approximately 2c10c0 and the deposits ag-
crccatc about $4,000 On. not including
gsIllo withdrawn and invested in postal
savings bonds
ON tho basis of the present monthly net
increase of deposits Il is estimated that
the gross income Of the postal savings
system for the fiscal year ended June 80,
49, will amount 20 10000 and the inter
est uava6lc to dcpositors TO $500 600. The
Increase of the system for the fiscal year
win meet the interest payments and the
total expenses OF the central Office. but
ell tc approximately s215.000 less than
.1ough TO cover the entire expense OF the
service.
However. the Postmaster Generals re-
mort saws. Ill is expected that when the
deposits have increased to sjC"n.o0O

FIGHT TO A FINISH"
Strike Against Steel Concern
Had TO Came. Says GOmperS.

Samuel C;ompers. president OF the
American Federation Of Labor. tore him
self away from conference of labor
leaders at the Hotel Victoria last night
long enough to confirm the reports from
Pittsburgh that the Federation had for
mally locked horns with the United states
Steel Corporation. The trouble had been
brewing ever since the Steel Corporation
was formed. he said It would be a fight
To a finish.
"Shortlv after the formation of the
United States steel Corporation Mr..
Gompcrs asserted. Its directors passed a
formal resolution forblding organization
OF labor in any of its shops So far as
know. il is the only biz corporation in the
country which has declared itself in such
definite form against organized labor
This remark was repeated To Judge T..
II. Gary. chairman of the Steel Corpora
ton. last night. Judge Gary said he pre-
fcrreI to make no statement Of any kind
with regard to the labor situation until
he had received more extensive informa-
ton from the mills.
The strike which is Just starting. Mr..
Gompers continued, was inevitable. the
Steel Corporation brought il on itself. II

uationalitics and languages. and set them

which were terrible II forbade them any

man suspected Of iavoring Gnionlsm That
policy worked for unionism. The day OF
absolute dominion OF one man over an
other has passed. The men rebelled. and
the Steel Corporation is going TO feel the
force Of their rebellion
The main issue OF the strike. Mr.. Com
pers said would be a day OF three SHIFTS.
instead OF two Under the present sys-
tom. he declared. the men worked twelve
hours 4 day for six days In the week and
tveutv-four hours on the seventh day.
when the night and day shifts were
changing places The Federation would
also demand fair wages throughout the
Industry. he said. The present wages
were exceptionally low. according to Mr..
Goupcrs. except in the highest skilled
grades.

consolidated so that books and other
printed matter may he forwarded by
parcel post. At present the postage
charges for these two classes of mail
bear no fixed ratio TO each other. For
certain weights and zones the parcel post
rates are lower than the third class rates
while in other cases they are higher. The
report continues.
This condition is likely TO result in much
confusion and should not exist. Pack

OF the parcel post law the department

prevail of the commission. headed by As
sociate Justice Hughes. of the United
states supreme Court, of the Postoffice
Departments recommendation that Che
postage rate on second class mail be In
creased from ] cent to cents a pound
In the opinion OF the Postmaster Cen
eral favorable action by Congress on the
report OF the commission would he a
step toward the proper adjustment Of
postal charges. i}c says;
There is a widespread popular interest
IN the plan To lower the postage charge
on letters from cents to | cent an
ounce. The proposed increase IN the sec
ond class rate would puNc the way for
this change, making ii possible to reduce
the first class rate without departin from
the present policy Of a self-supporting
postal service.
During the fiscal year 1872 more than

gate weight Of about $4,000 rounds

at the ordinary rates been paid on this
matter the revenues of the department
would have been increased by more than
