Demands of Forty Cents More a

Work Are Granted.

BERLIN, April 27.-The street
railway service in the city of Mag
deburg was tied up for three days
recently when the female cOnduc-
tors and motormen" went or
strike.
on account of the increased cost
of living, the women demanded a
raise of 40 cents per day, besides a
reduction Of their working hours.
The lines are owned by the munich
pality.
The city authorities at first re-
fused to grant the demands and tried
TO run the cars with the aid of old
men and boys, but the public took
the part of the strikers. Fearing
serious disorders, the mayor asked
the striking women 10 send a dele
CATION TO his office. The confer
ence ended with a complete victory
for the LADY conductors" and
within an hour all of them were
back on their cars. The pay Of the
women now is about a third higher
than what the male conductors and
motormen got before the war.

Parcel Post Tax

Another innovation in postal rates
will become effective December
when the war stamp tax On parcel
post mail will be assessed.
Regulations governing this phase
of the war revenue bill provide that
upon every parcel or package trans
ported from one point to another in
the United States by parcel post en-
which postage amounts to % cents or
more there shall be pMd a tax of one
cent for eacn 25 cents or fraction
thereof, &c be paid by the consignor.
No parcel will be transported until
stamps for the tax are affixed
thereto.
The tax is not applicable to pack
ages on which the postage amounts
to less than 25 cents. On the parcel
subject to 20 cents postage the tax is
one cent; on a parcel subject to &c
to so cents postage, the tax is two
cents and so on.

city where he made his home for a
number of years and was associated
with his father in the general mer-
camille business. He left Boomers
Ferry over a year ago to accept a
position as travelling salesman and he
is now one of the city statesmen for
the B. L. Gordon company, whole
sale grocers.

Piling is now being hauled and

next week for the foundation of the
new planning mill of the Boomers
Ferry Lumber Company which is
to be constructed on the site of the
plant which was burned some eight
years ago. Work on the new plan
ing mill is to be rushed as fast as
possible as the Boomers Ferry Lum-
Der Company now has many back
orders to fill and an accumulation
of rough lumber to be made up
Mr.. Mccoy states that as yet he
has been unable to buy the turbine
engine wanted for power purposes.
The machinery for the planer has
been ordered and will be here in plen-
ty of time for installation. 1t is
possible that power will be obtained,
temporarily, from the present power
house.
The sawmill resumed operations
Tuesday morning and for a time it
seemed as if the usual winters cut
would be completed. Wednesday
morning, however, the dam at the
intake of the slough from the Koo-
tenai river. went out and the saw
mill was closed down again Thurs
day noon on account of no logs. It
is not probable that the sawmill will
resume again now until next spring
for freezing weather is likely to set
in before the dam can be repaired.

well as their advertising rates, in an att tempt to obtain earnings sufficient to carry on their business Newspapers in normal times seldom increase their ad- vertising rates fast enough to keep up with the increased cost of increased cir culation, and the last year has seen most papers facing a severe financial crisis. In spite of these facts the new revenue bill proposes an increase in postal rates which are particularly unfair as to the first zones, a tax of 10 per cent on print paper imported and, understand tax on ad- vertising receipts-any one of which would wipe out all the profits of most newspapers even in normal times, and at such times as these will tend to cause the discontinuance of publication of many newspapers and force out of employment many men specially trained for this work and whose value in other lines is com paratively small
 "The newspapers fully realize the seri- ousness of the present situation and ap- preciate that they must bear their share of the burden, but the provisions of this proposed bill seem more severe on news papers than on any other line of busi- ness and are to this extent unjust and indefensible.'
