New Scales Effect.

The men employed in the breakers,
;hey say. who will be benefited by the
shorter work day had under the old
system frequent periods of idleness.
They Will now be compelled to work
steadily, because there will he plenty
of coal to rush through in the shorter
day Their increased wages will be 3
per cent, while contract miners Will re-
ceiye an advance Of ! per cent, without
having the eight-hour day. Under
these conditions. the delegates de-
clared they could see no reason why
the price Of coal should be advanced,
particularly as the usual spring rsduc-
ton was not allowed this year.

FIXES COMPENSATION
OF RECORDER OF DEEDS
Bill introduced by Senator Hoke
Smith Also Adjusts Pay of the
Office Subordinates.

Senator Hoke Smith Of Georgia today
introduced "A bill to amend the act es-
tablishing a code of law for the Dis
trict. so that the recorder of deeds OF
the District shall receive no more than
$4,000 a year for personal compensa-
ton from the fees and emoluments of
that Office over and above clerk hire
and other expenses. The deputy re-
corder is to receive $500. Other en-
pIoyes of the office are to be as follows:
Two clerks at $1,000 two clerks at $500
two clerks at $3.50. ten copyists at S720
janitor at $500 and charwoman at
$3.50.
Senator Smith explained that his bill
was intended to equaliZe the salaries and
expenses of the office of the recorder of
deeds and the fees paid in by residents of
the District. He said that at present he
understood there was considera BILE
amount of money paid in fees over and
above the expenses Of the office and that
this surplus was covered into the federal
treasury.
IL can see no justice whatever in hav-
ing the people Of the District who record
deeds pay fees into the federal treasury"
said Senator Hoke Smith. Either the
fees should be less or the money derived
from them should be used to improve the
Office and make the service better"
