Stamp agencies will be established
shortly throughout the city by the
Washington city post office. under au-
thorization given TO-DAY %! the Ios'
Office Department
This new move is expected not only
TO help along the mail early-mall
often" campaign, but also to give the
residents of the National Capital gen
orally more and closer places where
hostage stamps and stamped envelopes
may be purchased.
This will be the first time in about
twenty years that authorized stamp
agencies will exist in Washington. At
present merchants may purchase
stamps and sell them to their patrons.
but under the new system authorized
persons will be given credit for stamps
and allowed to sell them.
These authorized stamp agents will
constitute the new "dollar-a-year men,,
since the prospective clerks in charge
must sign an agreement to conduct the
stations for a compensation not ex-
Ceeding 81 per annum. This sum VIII
be paid 25 cents per quarter.
Before the war the Washington city
post office had seventy-five contract
stations, located in drug and other
stores The merchants found it diff
cult, owing to the heavy increase in
parcel post business. to conduct these
stations, and consequently many Of
them resigned their commissions.
The post Office now has twenty-seven
contract stations, where some merchant
has contracted with the post office to
handle postal business.
The new agencies will be open to mer-
chants and others in all parts of the
city, and the Office anticipates a rush
on the part Of those desiring such
agencies to sign up contracts.
The agencies will be authorized by
the Post Office Department for the sale

1t has been suggested by Col. HUI
bert Work, first assistant postmaster
general, that temporarily closed con-
agencies.
The city post Office has received
many demands for more stations. aud
it is believed that the proposed stamp
agencies will meet the needs of thou

v. R. &E. REDUCES
LABORERS' WAGES
UnskiIIed Workmen on Tracks
Cut From 20 to 40
Cents a Day.

Reductions have been made in the
pay of la aborers working on the tracks
Of the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company, it was learned today.
According to William F.. Ham. presi-
dent. the cuts range from 2O~to7 40
cents a day and will amount to a
saving Of between $4,000 and $4,000
year in the cost of track work.
Mr.. Ham explained that all laborers
taken on recently have been paid at
lower rates than those men who were
already with the company and that
the readjustment puts this latter
group on the same basis.
The company. the president contln-
ued has not reduced the per diem
wage scale as low as it might have
been fixed and still enable the COM
pany to obtain men:
The pay scale of skilled workers
ard mechanics is not affected by the
readjustment. Neither has the com
pany given any thought to reductions
in the pay of motormen and con-
ductorS, a was stated at the last fare
hearing. The company now has ap-
proximately 800 men employed on
track work, but not all of them are
in the unskilled labor class.
Accidents Being Reduced.
Tnere are 1nOlc3tlOnS tnat tne WaSn-
ington Railway and Electric Company
also will save money this year on ac-
cident claims as a result of the bonus
being offered motormen who operate
their cars without accidents.
The company's plan is to pay IS to
each man who goes three months with
out a collision for which he was respon-
sible. The first three-month period end
ed today. Company officials estimated
that between 400 and 500 men have won
the bonus by keeping their records clear
of accidents since February /, when the
plan was started.
Payment of the first awards will be
made about May 10. While the gift Of
IS to 500 men would cost the company
S25O0, these payments probably will be
offset at the end of the year by the fall
ing off in accidents for which the COM
pany would have to pay damages.
Figures compiled by the company to-
day show that during February, March
and April of this year there were only
61S accidents, as compared with $50 for
the same period Of last year. This is a
decrease of 1872, or II per cent.
These figures give the total number of
accidents The number for which the
motormen were not responsible is still
less.
Motormen who complete a year with
out an accident for which they are not
to blame will be given new uniforms
by the company.

Assignments of police to various au-
ditoriums and halls tomorrow-May Y
day-were announced, and members of
the bomb squad. augmented by regu-
lars. were set today to ferret out a
number of radicals believed to be ac-
tive in the attempt to cause a great
demonstration here.
Police today declared that the arrest
late last night of Abram Jakira and
Jacob Amter. who were held on
charges of criminal anarchy, had
broken the spirit of communist work
ers who expected to bring about a
demonstration tomorrow. These men.
charged by the police with having
several wagon loads of radical litera-
ture in their possession, were said to
have been officers of the third inter-
ton with Moscow.
Jakira and Amter were taken into
custody in the apartments of Mrs.
Helen Ware, daughter of Mrs. Ella
Reeves Bloor. national organizer OF
! the communist party in this country.
In the seized literature the police
said they found circulars similar to
those scattered here and in various
other large cities calling attention to
the industrial conditions in the United
States and urging the overthrow of
the government. Several loaded re-
volvers also were found by the police,
| it was reported.
/ One of the trunks, police said. was
| filled with maps of the United States
containing statistics of the strength
of the various revolutionary groups
here. These maps revealed the total
membership of the groups in every
city and community of any size

closed that more than 95 per cent of
the members Of the radical organiza-
tions were foreigners.

tistics revealed that in the mining

Nirg inia, as well as in several other
states east of Chicago. the percentage
of radicals was very high.
