READING CLERKS
GET MORE MONEY
Nearly All Departments Are
Now Effected By
Increase

HARRISBURG. Pa. July 29-Follow-
ing announcement made several days
ago that certain of the clerks in sew
eral Of the departments Of the Phila-
delphia and Reading Railway had re-
ceived an advance in their wages aver
aging several dollars a month, it is
now learned that the reinstatement is
being extended to nearly every depart
ment of the company. This will make
the fourth raise made by the system
within the past two months.
In none Of the cases are the in
creases very large, and the heads of
the various departments say that the
company is mercy making an adjust
ment of the wage scale rather than
granting any big increase. However,
none Of the men are TO receive less
than they did before. although some in
the same departments will not be ef-
fected. So far as can be learned the
most favored departments have not re-
ceived an increase that amounts 10
more than S4 a month and most of the
men have got less.
Those of the men who are paid by
the hour have had their wage scale
raised so that their pay will be an even
number of cents for the hour. This is
being done TO avoid the fractional com
putations in making up the payroll
and will also help the cashiers de-
partment to get out the semi-monthly
sheets quicker and with less cost to
the company. This is one of the main
reasons for the adjustment

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 29.--The
Department Of Agriculture issued
the following statement outlining its
policy in dealing with the milk situa-
ton in the United States:
1T IS erroneously supposed that
the Department of Agriculture has
established absolute standards and

and will not establish any rule de-
claring that milk containing less than

cubic centimeter is good milk
This division exercises no policing
function. It has no power under the
law to seize milk or to prosecute milk
dealers. It's work is purely educa-
tional. This division issues many
educational bulletins based upon its
experiments in the economical pro-
duction of clean milk. 1t supplies

These demonstrators have helped
milk producers who supply over 200
cities. In each city. these demonstra-
tors co-operated with the local health
authorities, not to help them secure
evidence or bring prosecutions. but
to improve the local system of inspec-
tion whereby the inspectors can aid
the milk producers of the territory
to bring their milk up to the city's
own standard without being called
upon to make excessive expenditures

THE DEMOCRATS PIE.

Democratic plums have begun to drop here and there but not nearly so fast as many had expected after the long wait of sixteen years. President Wilson has made positive assertions through the various departments that no places will be filled until there is a vacancy, either by expiration of term or removal for cause. AS to making appointments for postoffice there seems to be a growing sentiment for primaries. The Democratic slogan is ''The People Shall Rule" and in line with that idea a recent meeting of the Democratic Central Committee of the county. a resolution was passed recommending that postmasters for Eureka Springs, Green Forest and Berryville be selec- ted by legalized primary elections.
 If such an election is held none but Democratic electors will be entitled to vote, all candidates pledging them selves to support the winners and The Tribune sees no reason why Congress man Floyd should not recommend the successful candidate in such an election. In fact, it is stated that Congressman Floyd looks with much favor upon the primary plan.
