STRIKE TIES
UP new YORK
MAIL TRANSFER
Motor Truck Chauffeurs Quit
Without Warning, Democrat
izing Service, But Strike
Breakers Relieve The
Situation

New York, Oct. 2S-Most of the mo-
tor trucks of the Postal Transfer
Company, tied up for nearly four
hours, last night, and early today by
a strike of chauffeurs, were in
operation, this morning, with strike
breakers on the seats and the conges-
ton of the mail matter, acute for a
time was being rapidly cleared up.
Postmaster Morgan, who remained
up all night, said at o'clock that ali
mails were making schedule time.
Secret service men accompanied the
strikebreakers. Officers of the trans
fer service said that the places of the
strikers were nearly all filled and that
those who walked out would not be
taken back.
The strikers demand a 10 hour day;
with one hour for lunch, 1915 a day,
payable weekly; time and a half for
overtime; one day off week and
recognition of the union. The present
scale of wages is $1.00 q month for
seven days a week.
Nearly a million pounds of mail
were piled up in postoffices and rail-
road stations of New York, early to-
day, q result of the strike of the
chauffeurs Of the postal transfer
service, a corporation which has the
contract for the transfer of the United
States mail in New York, and which
handles on the average upwards of
5000, 900 pounds Of mail every day.
The strike was begun at 8 o'clock,
last night, and early this morning of
the 1875 motor trucks operated by the
transfer service had been deserted.
The motive was said to be to force
recognition of the Chauffeur's e.
Stablemen's Union and to bring about
a new arrangement of runs. The men
complained that they were under
constant danger of arrest for speed
ing their trucks at the rate required
of them in order to catch trains and
boats.
The postal authorities and officers
of the postal transfer service bent
every effort all night toward breaking
the strike and they were working
about half of the trucks under police
guard, this morning.
The most serious trouble early in
the day, was the stoning of a. strike
breaker and policemen on a truck
bound for the Pennsylvania; station.
The policemen drew their revoIvers
and broke up the mob, placing under
arrest two men who said they were
chauffeurs but who did not admit
they were connected with the strike
Postmaster Morgan and John Mas
ten, the general superintendent of the
transfer service. declared that the
place of every striking chauffeur
would be filled by noon today and
that within "a hours practically nor
NAL conditions would be re-estab1ish-
ed. It was limited that if necessary
United States troops would be called
on to prevent disorder or further de-
mora1ization of the mail service
For some time, the mail chauffeurs
had been threatening to go on strike
unless their union was recognized but
their desertion of their trucks came
without warning. Their grievances
had been brought to a head by Police
Commissioner Wa1do's orders for the
arrest of mail chauffeurs who exceed
ed the speed limit an order which
arose from the fact that this year
eight persons have been killed in the
streets by mail trucks alone.

ORDER
IS ASSAILED BY
G. R. VETERANS

washington, Oct 28-Led by 'Pri-
vate'' John M DalzelI, the Grand
Army of the Republic is assailing a
recent order Of the commissioner of
pensions that Civil War veterans
seeking pensions must furnish proofs
of their family name, their employ
ment for the 10 years preceding 1860
and produce a Bible record of their
family. The DIRECTORS claim this viz
tually would annuI the benefits intend
ed for veterans under the Sherwood
law, which contemplated increased
pensions under simpler provisions.
Many deserving veterans would suf-
fer, it was contended, by reason of the
commissioners ruling, for many would
find it impossible to comply with the
requirements. This, it was pointed
out, was specially true of the negro
veterans, many of whom were born
in slavery.

WIFE DESERTER
SAYS she IS TOO
MUCH OF A FAN

Wi1kesbarre, Pa, Oct. 2s-James
Cooper, of LarksvilIe, deserted his wife
because she was an ardent baseball
fan He so testified before Judge
O'Boy1e, yesterday, when Mrs. Coop
er had him arrest ted for non Support.
2 Cooper told the judge that his wife
attended ball game nearly every day
during the past season and that he
was compelled to prepare his own sup
per. He said she talked baseball
morning, noon and night, though he
took no interest in the sport.
Judge OBoyle suggested that with
the baseball season over, Mrs. Cooper
probably would remain at home and
upon her promise to cook the meals,
the judge sent the couple home with
the understanding that they would
make a new start.

Consul Perez and Commasario Mar tinez, of the state troops at NacO, intend leaving today for Hermosil.o. where they go to interview Governor Pesquira.
 Their trip to the constitutionalisls capital is descr bed simply as a bus mess visit, but it is generally under. stood that the two officials are going to talk over matters of finance wLE the governor. The extra tax stamps, which are now required on practi- caIiy every document issued. have brought in some revenue and cUlle" tions from the mines have helped. but it is said that the state troops treasury. though not pressed, is In need Of funds. It was at first thought tEat large returns would be obtained from the cOnsidcation Of the prop erty lelunging to alleged HUeTta sym pathisers. but these were usually of the wealthy class and 1t has been found practically impossible 10 sell the confsCated property. In the first place there is little money that could go into such investments and another drawback is that U-ltil the state trOOEs get actual control of the government. the title wCald always be open 10 question.

 from the export tax on cattle, but at the principal Arizona ports of en, try, NaUo. Douglas and NOgales, prac. ticaIly no shipments have been enter

It was learned yesterday that both Martinez and Perez, who were in Bis | bee Thursday, arranged for receipts showing that they had each put uI cash bonds of $2,500 in the ammuni kion smuggling case. These bonds are said to have been made with state money and the two officials wish ! to have the receipts when making i their accounting with the governor.
