Business at
 the Post Office How to Avoid the Rush During Christmas
 Week

"Rush conditions will certainly prevail in the post office next week." said Postmaster A. N. Col grove this morning, land I would like to suggest way in which the tardy members of the mailing public can make the best of condi- tions.
 "The biggest rush of Christmas week at the post office comes be- tween and o'clock in the after noon. Those who wait until next week to do their mailing will save themselves time and discomfort by selecting some other part of the day to do their mailing if that Is possible. The morning hours of- fer the quickest service during the Christmas rush, but by all means the public should, If possible, avoid the period between and 4 p. m.
 "Mailers can get instant service by doing stamp-buying now. There are no lines and no crowds in the post office yet. Those who buy their stamp supplies for Christmas mailing at once and get all possi- ble mailing done at once will es- cape the rush that is sure to come next week."

MINIMUM LIVING WAGE FOR 1000
 STEEL WORKERS
Company in Lackawanna to Create Jobs By Tear- ing Down Obsolete Blast Furnaces

New York, Dec 15.-UP)-A minimum living wage for the 1000 employees of the Lackawanna, N. Y., plant of the Bethlehem Steel corporation was assured to-day by a new system of unemployment re- lief announced by Jesse Isidor Straus, chairman of the states tenn porary relief administrator.
 The announcement followed con- ferences with Eugene G. Grace, Bethlehem president. Although the plant is working at only 30 per cent capacity the company will cre- ate jobs by tearing down obsolete blast furnaces and in repair pro jects.
 Straus termed the corporations action "an entirely new step in the labor policy of American in- dustries."
 Lackawanna, on the outskirts of Buffalo, has a population of 23,- 984. Of this number 8,949 are employed gainfully. according to the federal census of 1880. The Lackawanna plant employs ap- proximately 50 per cent of those working. About 40 per cent of its employees come from Buffalo. Hence with the steel plant operat- ing at only 30 per cent efficiency the entire town was hit hard. Gov Roosevelt referred to the situation there as being particularly bad.
 The formal announcement point ed out that the Bethlehem cor poration realized the Stagger sys- tenn of work relief had broken down, and that the company had an obligation to keep its workers from becoming public charges.
 In addition to inaugurating the new relief plan, the Bethlehem plant expressed it's willingness to support any further relief measures that might be put into effect by the city of Lackawanna with funds received from taxation.
 Straus predicted that the Beth- lehem action would relieve "a froz- en credit situation" in Lackawanna. The city itself already has appro- priated $1O0,000 for work relief and the state has granted 1t an ad- ditional $5O,000. With the Steel plants higher payroll, it was be- lleved the city would find itself in a fairly secure position.
 Harry l.. Hopkins. executice di- rector of relief administration, pro- vided additional details of Bethle- hem's proposed plan. He said the actual sum to be fixed as a mini mum living wage had not been set down, but in his opinion wages of SIP a week would compare favor ably with the $16.50 paid to emer- gency laborers in New York city. Hopkins based his figures on a sur vey of living conditions in Lacka- wanna.
 The relief plan was worked out in Lackawanna last week. 1t was re- vealed. Conferences were held by Straus, Grace, Hopkins and two representatives of the Bethlehem company, Timothy Burns. general director of the Lackawanna plant and Joseph Larkin, special assist ant to Grace.
 A novel feature of the plan, out lined at the conference, will be orga nization of an underemploy- ment department. headed by specially appointed executive Of the company.
 The fact that the statement of the new plan came from the relief administration, rather than from the steel company, was understood to be explained by hesitancy on the part of the corporation to publicize its new policy.

Philadelphia Goes Broke And Payrolls
 Are Very Lonesome

said "there is not a. dollar in the treasury for payroll purposes" al- though City Treasurer Kemp an- nounced to-day that funds would be found to meet the $1,625,0 900 payroll
 In the meantime councilmanic leaders, who remained in session until after midnight to establish a new record meeting of fifteen hours said that police and fire pay rolls would noe DC cut in the 1892 budget. It was indicated by Presi- dent Edwin R. Cox of council that hospital appropriations also would remain the same for next year.
 Urged by Director of Public Safety Schofield and Councilmen w. w. Roper and Clarence Crossan to eliminate political "drones" on the payroll, councilmanic leaders announced they would retain the 1881 tax rate but would not cut payrolls before the first of the year in the expectation that new means of raising revenues would dispense with the necessity of laying off city county employees. Approxi- mately $12,000,0O0 more must be eliminated from the proposed bud get to make the present tax rate meet the demands for 1882.
 The present tax rate, unless changed by council to-day, auto matically becomes the 1892 rate under the city charter. Council is compelled by the provisions of the charter to announce the new rate not later than December 15, al- though no limit is set for their ap- proval of the balance budget Within the next two weeks they must find additional means of rais- ing funds, or take definite action toward reducing the payroll.
