ORDER HELPS MAIL CARRIER
Postoffice Department Says Those Who Want Stamps Must Put
 Cash in Envelopes.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Picking up loose money has grown to be such a hardship for the overworked rural free delivery carriers that the post office department has issued an order warning reckless citizens against leav- ing loose coins lying around Here after coins must be tied in bundles or enclosed in envelopes whenever any one wants stamps from a carrier and leaves the necessary amount in the wayside box.
 Lest the temptation to lift" loose coins prove too strong, the depart ment adds that if it is done the car rier disclosing such weakness will do so purely as matter of accom- modation and not by any direction or requirement of the department"

SENATE WON'T RAISE RATE
PROPOSAL TO TAX $1OO,OO0 IN COMES 5PER CENT DEFEATED.
More Radical Amendment Today Senator Williams Explains.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Attempts to increase the limit of the proposed income tax on the larger incomes failed in the senate when Senators Borah, Bristow and Cummins led au effort to amend the income-taX sec tion of the Democratic tariff bill.
 Senator Borah offered an amend ment increasing the graduated tax on larger incomes until it would have reached per cent on those above $100,000 a year. The Democrats, aid. ed by ten Republicans, defeated the amendment, 47 to 17.
 A more radical provision, with a maximum tax of 10 per cent on in- comes of S100,000 or more, will be submitted by Senator Bristow when the debate is reached today.
 In the pending bill the rates on larger incomes are: One per cent on incomes fro4i $20,00O to $50000. 2 per cent frogl $50,00O to $1O0,O0O and per cent above S100,000.
 Senator Borah proposed the follow ing: Addition tax: One per cent incomes from $10.0O0 to $30,0OO, ? per cent from $30,000 to $50,00O, per cent from $50,000 to $S0,OO0, per cent from $S0,000 to $1O000O and 5 per cent above S100000
 The Democrats voted solidly against the increase and were joined by Sen ators Clarke of Wyoming, Gallinger, Lippitt, Lodge, Oliver Penrose, Shoot, Root, Warren and Weeks from the Republican side.
 The demand for an increase of the tax on big incomes was accompanied by the declaration that men with large incomes would escape their just share of the taxes under the new bill.
 The man with the small income al ways pays his tax more completely" Sena:or Borah said, than does the man with the larger income. It Is much easier to find all of the $5,00e income than to find all of the $50 ,000 income.
 "A tax of or per cent on the man with S100,000 will not inconvenience him more than the 1 per cent tax will inconvenience the man with $5,000."
 Senator Williams, who had charge of the income tax provisions for the Democratic side, insisted that the committee had been compelled to go slowly and cautiously in inaugurSfing the new form of direct taxation
 We thought it well now to estab. fish the tax upon simple grounds he said Experience alone will show how it works, and the changes that may be necessary in it, In the future the American people will have repre- sentatives here who will revise and perfect it."

LEAD MINE STRIKE ENDED.
oNE-FOURTH OF 5000 MINERS IN
 VOLVED ARE BACK AT WORK.
Gents Per Day, Waving Rec ognition of Union.

Flat River, Mo, Aug. 2S.-About who struck two weeks ago for 30 cents a day increase in wages and recognition of their union are back at work, following a settlement of the strike through the efforts of the state board of mediation and arbitration Within another week, 1t is expected, 60 per cent of the men will be back at work, and eventually virtually all of them will be taken back.
 The fact that comparatively few of the men are working is due to the flooding of four of the mines with water, following the strike
 The settlement of the strike was ef fected when the miners waived their demand for union recognition and the mine operators agreed to a wage in crease of 25 cents a day for each miner. This will mean an aggregate increase of $500,000 a year in the pay rolls of the companies involved.
 The terms of settlement also pro- yided that the companies should file their wage scales with the board of mediation and arbitration, and that the scale just agreed upon should re- main in effect one year. It was agreed that all employees be reinstated as rap idly as possible, with no discrimina- tion because of participation in the strike, and that if any employe felt he was being discriminated against he could file complaint with the board. Its decision, it was agreed, should be final.
 About an hour after settlement was agreed upon the St. Louis Smelling and Refining company had put its men back to work. The four companies whose mines are flooded expect to have work started at some of the shafts within the next few days, but it will be several weeks before all the shafts are free from water.
