MORE LIBERAL PARCEL POST
Is Advocated by Postmaster General
Hitchcock in Report.

Postmaster General Hitchcock in
his annual report tentatively suggests
reduction of some rc.cel post ra.es
and increasing the limit of weight be-
yond eleven pounds. 1t also recon-
mends civil pensions for postal en-
ployes; an increase in rates on second
class mail, which may pave the way
for one-cent letter postage, and the
consolidation of the third and fourth
classes so books and papers may be
forwarded by parcel post. On this sub
ject the report says:
"While the postage rates for the new
parcel post system range consider
ably lower than corresponding express
charges it is believed that experience
will show them to be higher in some
instances than is necessary in order
to maintain the service at cost. Like
wise, the restriction that places an
eleven-pound limit on the weight OF
parcels mailed should be regarded as
merely tentative. After the system Is
thoroughly organized on that basis the
scope of the service, in its usefulness
to the public, should be still further
enlarged by increasing the weight
limit If properly developed under ef-
hcient management the parcel post will
prove to be a most important factor IN
reducing the cost of living"

JANUARY KEPT UP PACE
1912 Business Expansion Maintained
During First Month Of New Year.

Duns Review OF Trade says this
week:
THE business expansion which be-
gan in 1912 was steadily maintained
throughout the first month of the new
year and reports from various sec.
tions continue satisfactory. Weather
conditions affect distribution adverse.
ly in certain industries and tariff un
certainty is responsible for conserva
tive buying in lines affected. Labor
troubles, now apparently approaching
adjustment, have interfered with the
demand for materials used in the
manufacture of clothing, but the gen
eral effect on the dry goods trade is
comparatively slight.
"The iron and steel trade continues
so active that only the incapacity OF
the mills to make prompt delivery pre-
vents further expansion. The open
winter has been generally favorable
for new building and important con-
struction work is in prospect"

MORRISON IS

Assumes Command Of Steel
Strike at Rankin, Pa.
FIGHTING TO UNIONIzE PLANTS
Former Employees of the Steel Trust
Appear Before Federation Officials
and Tell Of system Of Oppression"

Secretary Frank Morrison OF the
American Federation of Labor is in
charge of the strike of steel workers
in the Rankin and Braddock (Pa.) dis
tricts.
The steel strike will be the first bat
tie in the new aggressive campaign
decided upon by the federation against
those industries which, the union Of.
ficials say, are seeking to reduce
their workmen to the level Of serfs."
The steel, textile, rubber and pack
:. ing house industries are to be the
targets upon which the American Fed
GRAFTON in the immediate future will
center it's fire in an active warfare tc
unicnize all employees and through or
ganizaton to effect amelioration OF
working conditions, increased pay and
recognition of the union.
Some of the strikers said that their
principal grievance is a system of pay
ing under which a pieceworker does
not know how much he is making
until pay day They assert that under
the tonnage system, under which it is
said that wages are pooled among the
men according to their positions and
general production, is unfair. They
want also to be paid for time lost at
their machines when repairs are being
made.
John Blotnek, local organizer of the
American Federation of Labor, said
that the men want either to be paid
day work for time lost when machines
are being repaired and when they are
compelled to wait for material, or be
sent home and use their time as they
see fit. He asserted that many of the
men have done much work for which
they were not paid.

CONGRESS FOR
MEMORIAL PLAN
Fine Structure TO Be Erected
In Honor Of Lincoln
HOUSE PASSES THE MEASURE
Senate Takes First Step Toward
Making Presidential Tenure One
Term Of Six Years; Bill Just Passes.

A great memorial to Abraham Lin
coin will be erected in Washington.
The house without the formality OF a
roll call accepted the bill recently
passed by the senate, indorsing the
plans of the fine arts commission, ap-
propriating $2,O00,OOO for the me-
mortal, to be located in Potomac park,
close to the Washington monument
and in view of Arlington, the home
OF Robert Il. Lee. The measure later
was sent to President Taft, who put
his signature to it. making it law.
The park is two miles in length, at
one end 80 which is ihe n9tional
capitol and the other end the proposed
men.oTid, wan Lne monumenl lh t.e
center.
Although threats had been made in
the house that the proposed memorial,
favored by a commission made up Oi
President Taft, Speaker Champ Clark,
former Speaker j. q. Cannon and
others. would be defeated and high
way between Washington and Gettys'
burg substituted. opponents at the last
moment threw up their hands and
yielded to the prevailing sentiment.
After hours of oratory on the part
of members who favored or opposed
the plans of the commission Repre-
sentative Borland offered resolution
recommitting the bill to the library
committee of the house, but the best
ne could do was to muster thirty-one
votes and his plans failed.
Senate Passes six-Year-Term Bill.
constitutional amendment which
would restrict the president and
vice president to o single term OF
six years and would bar Woodrow VIII
son, Theodore Roosevelt and William
H. Taft from again seeking election
was approved by the senate by the
narrow majority of one vote.
After a bitter fight in which the
Progressives Joined with many Re-
publicans in opposing the restricted
presidential term, the senate adopted
the original Works resolution by a
vote of AZ to %.
Senator Bristow's proposal that a
president could be recalled at any
regular election was voted down. 5S
to 10, and Senator Hoke Smiths
amendment to make the single term
four years instead OF six was defeat
ed, AZ to 20.
The closest votes came on Senator
Owens amendment for direct, popu-
lar vote on president and vice presi'
dent, defeated 80 to 80, and Senator
Paynters amendment to lengthen to
six years the term of the president
who might be in Office when the con-
stitutional amendment was finally rati
fed. This was defeated, &c to 80.
Proposals for two four-year terms
and one four-year term, suggestions
to modify the resolution so it would
not affect Taft, Wilson or Roosevelt,
and amendments to make it apply
only to presidents elected after It's
ratification, were all defeated by large
majorities

Manuscript Of Thirteenth Century.

u SC'Na'J'
While reading a French book of
the sixteenth century in the univ ersity
library, st. Andrews, the German
lecturer. DR.. Schaaffs, noticed some
fragments of an old French poem
which the binder had pasted on back
and covers of the book.
After loosoning them he removed
the glle and out of the four pieces
obtained composed two larger pieces,
parts of two leaves of a manuscript
written in a beautiful and clear type
in two columns of thirty-nine lines
each, l44 in all, with red and blue
initials. The names occurring in the
text leave no doubt that the frag-
ments contain parts of the old
French chanson lie Roman de Girard
de Viane," and from the language and
script it appears that the manuscript
was written between 1850 and
1900 London Globe.
