lantic to the Pacific and from the Ca.
madam line to the gulf, protests are
still coming to members OF congress
asking in most urgent terms to be pro.
tected from the proposed changes in
the rural delivery service. In one
community out in California a public
meeting of patrons of the rural serv-
ice was held and a protest was drawn
in such vigorous language that 1t was
feared few people would sign it, but
the feeling was so pronounced that 80
per cent of the. patrons of the rural
routes affected signed the protest and
then took up a collection to pay the
expenses of telegraphing the protest
not only to the department, but to the
senator's and the congressman from
that district.
Dissatisfaction with management OF
city postal service is also apparent in
many places. In one western town
where large manufacturing business
has grown up in recent years and
where first class postal service is i'm.

change in pestmasters. The business

be appointed, they would under no cir
cumstances allow their mail to be
handled by him, as they considered
him wholly unreliable. Those bust.
ness men were looking for service
and not politics. Naturally they were
not very favorably impressed with the
business efficiency OF an adminstra-
ton whose policies made 1t necessary
for them to put their signatures to a
protest as emphatic as that.

INDUSTRIAL AGITATION

Early in the year, the meetings Of
the Industrial relations commission,
held in New York city, attracted much
attention on account of the promi-
nence of some of those who were
called to testify. The chief purpose
Of the investigation was to obtain the
opinions of well-known capitalists and
employers on the present relations of
capital and labor. January IS, guards
in factory near Roosevelt, N. j.,
fred on group of striking workmen,
killing one man and wcunding several
others. April 16, in Chicago, 1900
carpenters went on strike for an in
crease in wages. June IA, motormen
and conductors on the surface and
elevated railways Of Chicago, $4,000
in all, struck for higher wages and
a complete tie-up resulted. The dis
pute, however, was settled by arbitra-
tion after two days of business paraly-
sis. The carpenters strike in that
city, which had crippled the building
industry for several months, was end
ed by compromise wage agreement
July 10. Ten days later, strike OF
$4,000 garment makers in New York
city was averted by a wage increase
of from 12 to Is per cent.
In July the employees of the Stand
ard Oil plant at Bayonne, N. j., went
on strike and serious rioting followed.
During the lawlessness which pre-
vailed, two strikers were killed and
many policemen and onlookers were
injured. After a week of disorder,

THE CIVIL WAR IN MEXICO

In the early part OF the year il was
evident that Francisco villa had the
ambition to become the political War
wick Of the republic of Mexico. On
January Z he deposed the provisional
governor, Gutierrez, and installed Gen
eral Cara in his place. He was still
master of the situation at the City Of
Mexico, and Carranza still maintained
his stand at Vera Cruz. Meantime, the
fighting went on uninterruptedly, with
varying results, but none decisive.
In June the situation on the border
and elsewhere became so irritating
that the United States government
felt compelled to give official warning
to the factional leaders that failure on
their part to come to some agreement
would necessitate Intervention. De-
spite this intimation, the forces Of
Villa and CarTanza continued to keep
revolution aflame, and by midsummer
the Mexican situation seemed to be
more inexplicable than ever. Villas
star waned perceptibly. A new mill
tary influence, General Obregon, took
the center of the stage. He assumed
the leadership of the CarranZa faction,
and his military successes were con-
siderable In July General Gonzales,
another Carranza supporter, fought his
way into Mexico City, displacing Cen
eral Zapata, who held the place in the
Villa interest. Later, Gonzales was
driven out and the situation was so
threatening to life and property in the
capital that, in August, American bat
tleships were ordered to Vera Cruz,
but were not put into action. In this
month, also, an appeal signed by Sec
retary of State Lansing and the repre-
sentatives of South and Central Amer
ican governments asking all warning
elements in Mexico to get together in
an attempt at pacifcation was sent to
the various leaders. During Septem-
ber the fighting on the Mexican border
grew more desperate. There were
many fatalities before United States
troops gained control Of the situation.
On October 10, nine Of the principal
governments of the American hemi-
sphere, headed by the United States,
recognized the de facto government Of
Mexico of which Carranza is the chief.

OUR LAWMAKERS

The Sixty-third congress came to a
close on March 4, its final act of spe-

resolution to strengthen the powers

appropriation bill calling for two new
battleships, six destroyers and eight
cen submarines. The presidents nom

ture passed a bill abolishing capital

congress. March Is, Governor Spry of
Utah vetoed the statewide prohibition
bill. April Z, the Alaska house passed
a measure submitting prohibition to
the voters. A week later, it agreed to
the senate bill abolishing capital pun
ishnent. June 3, the government plea
to have the United States Steel cor
poration dissolved was denied by the
United States circuit court for New
