PARCEL POST SMALL
IN WEST VIRGINIA
system in This State is not Being SO
Largely Pa~tronized, But 1t viii
Grow.
Especial to The WORLDLY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-While
none of the official reports received
by the p~ostofhce department from
West Virginia Offices regarding the
workings of the parcel post system
have been made public, information
has been received here from several
of the West Virginia Offices to the
effect that the system is not being
as largely ~patronized there As it is
elsewhere.
There seems to be no explanation
of this fact and 1t is presumed that
the business viii grow as the people
become more accustomed to it and
find new uses for 1t.
Throughout the country generally
the system seems to have proved very
popular, Reports have been receiv-
ed by Postmaster General Hitchcock
from 1894 of the 1850 p~ostofices hav-
ing city delivery service and these
reports show that during the first
seven days the system was in oper-
alton these offices handled 1905
S24 packages.
Including the Offices which do net
have free delivery and the others
which have not reported. The Post.
master General estimates that the to-
tai number Of parcels handled during
the first week Of the parcel post sys-
tenn was not less than 5000, 900.

THE RAILROAD MEN
EXPECTED RAISE
Are Disseminated Because IT Has Not
Yet Materialized Matter OF Fire
men Up.

Local railroad men are freely dis
cussing the FEASIBILITY Of a raise in
wages o and there is much dis
content manifested among them be-
cause they have not received what
they have been expecting. The word
was sent forth some time ago that an
advance could be expected within a
short time but it has not yet mate
rallied and now the employees are
dubious about it coming at all, though
a few still have hope that the ten per
cent. which was the amount promised
would be forthcoming within a short
time.
1t is not on the b. & 0. alone that
an advance in wages has been antici-
pated by the employees. The employ.
es of other roads throughout the
eastern section of the United States
have been looking forward to an in
crease for several months. All class
es Of employees from the trackmen up
feel the same about this matter.
The reason given by the employees
for the opinion that they are about
to be favored with at least 10 per
cent. increase, Is the great prospect.
ty. They point out the fact that
many other industries in the country
have granted wage increases, that the
railroads have made more money dur
ing the past year than ever before,
and believe them generous enough to
divide these excess earnings with
their employees.
AS a further argument the railroad
ers maintain that the danger, respon'
sibility and actual work in their oc-
equations, railroaders are the least
r~enumerated. Taking the case of a
conductor, for instance, a prominent
local railroader said that the average
nay OF a conductor amounted to "a
cents per hour, while that of carpen.
tiers, plumbers. etc, average around
the 60-cent mark, and with the re,
sponsibility of a conductor compared
with the others mentioned, they as.
sert the difference is anything but
just.
The d~iscouraging part of this ex'
peeted increase is that it has been on
the minds of the ~railroaders all win
ter, but with the exception of the in
crease granted the engineers through
the recent ruling, lone of the com.
panies have done anything towards
granting the increase. 4
SO great has become the ~dissatis'
faction among the local ~railroaders,
that if the local brand is a sample
of the sentiment of the railroad world
in general, there will be a general de-
mand for more money If the railroads
do not come across with the de-
sired increase.

PREPARING NOW
FOR CENTENARY
West Virginia VIII Participate In the
celebration-Great Missionary
Remembered.

The celebration of the centenary OF
David Livingstone will be country
wide from now until March 10. Com
munications have been received at the
offices of the West Virginia Sunday
School Association in Wheeling ask
ing that this state participate in the
celebration, which will undoubtedly
be done.
David Livingstone was born at
Blantyre, Scotland. March 19, 1913. In
the history of modern missions there
is no greater name than that of Da-
yid Livingstone. His life's work in
opening up Africa led directly to the
suppression of the slave trade and to
the entrance of western civilization
and the Christian church religion into
the remotest recesses of the dark con-
tinent.
A resolution passed at the annual
meeting of the Foreign Mission Con
ference of North America, January
IL, 1912 follows:
Resolved, That in order to insure
a widespread and effective celebration
of the one hundredth anniversary OF
the birth OF David Livingstone, be-
ginning January /, 1913, and culmi-
March 10, 1913, the conference
recommends.
THAT each board take steps to eel
citrate in a proper way and at a prop
er time the proposed centenary.
THAT the missionary education
movement be requested to facilitate
this celebration in such ways as may
be possible

WEST VIRGINIA
BUSINESS MEN
Are Interested In Reform Of the Bank.
ing and currency-Want Better
System.

LEWfSBURG, w. Va, Jan. 20
West Virginia business men and
those of the south generally are TAX
ing an active interest in the move
rent for a reform Of the banking
and currency system of the country,
according to Mason NJ. Mathews, of
this place, who is president of the
West Virginia Bankers Association.
and who has Just accepted the first
vice presidency of the West vir-
ginia section of the National Citi-
Gems League.
The work of organizing the bust
mes men OF this state in support of
the demand for a banking system
that shall be more responsive to the
needs of legitimate business is NOV
ing rapidly forward said Mr.. Mat
news Saturday. The merchants, the
manufacturers, the farmers and the
wage earners are waking up to the
fact that they, and not the bankers
and capitalists are the ones who
suffer most from a breakdown of our
financial machinery. They want to
make impossible the recurrence of
such a disagreeable money panic as
that of 1907, in which we were forced
TO resort to substitutes for currency
such as no other great nation has
been compelled to employ for a cen
fury past. They want to avoid the
loss of millions upon millions of dol
lars, which such a financial paroxysm
imposes upon the people of the coun-
try, through no fault of their own.
They want to see that the interests
of the small business man, the far
mer and the ~workingman, who are
the greatest sufferers from such con-
d~itions, are protected.

Real Purpose.

THAT is the real purpose of the
National Citizens League and that
is why ii is seeking to enlist the sup
port of the general body of citizens
rather than merely that of special
classes, like the bankers and CAPT
talists. This is no a question for
financiers only. There is not a bag
of coffee brought into the state or a
ton of coal shipped out of it that
does not in some measure pay toll
to our antiquated, cumbersome and
unfair banking system. We repre-
sent the borrowers rather than the
lenders of capital, and We want to
see laws adopted that will enable
the banks of our state to secure the
discount of sound commercial paper
that they hold at the same rates and
terms as the big banks in the big
cities. We want to see these local
institutions enabled to secure the
credit and currency required for the
business needs of their various COM
munities from some national CO.
operative institution as a right and
not have to seek II from some indi-
vidual bank in New York as a favor,
and perhaps have it denied them
when the refusal will result in the
Gripping of business progress of the
territory that they serve.
THE National Citizens League is
not advocating any special plan, but
it wants to see these results brought
about in the interest of the people of
the whole country. First of all 1t
wants to induce our individual citi-
Gems to study the subject for them
selves and to form their own concur
sions. If they will do this the rest
will be easy for the irresistible de-
mand will arise for the enactment of
remedial legislation, a demand that
Congress cannot ignore.
"As a great agricultural, mining
and manufacturing state, West Vir-
ginia cannot afford t. lag behind the
others in giving consideration to this
matter.
Local branches of the National
Citizens League already have been
organized in ten towns and cities of
the state and others are being organ
lied"
