 The fusionists are putting up a valiant battle, however, both against Tammany and among themselves-and irrespective of the final outcome they have forced a certain public recognition of the fact that the city government must be a little cleaner; and have even forced Tammany Hall to do some sweeping in its smelly stables.
 That is about the only way to attain reform in New York city: make Tammany scared enough to do q little of its own.

Washington-Much astonishment has developed around MIRA head quarters at revelations of the ex- tremely low wages on which hun dreds of thousands of Americans exist.
 Unless prices rise too rapidly, the new minimum wages should ma terially raise living standards for many folks.
 For instance, those people in that Pennsylvania shirt factory who were found by the department of labor to be earning $2 week.
 That was a horrible example, though it could be duplicated in other states. Nevertheless, 36 per cent of women in shirt factories earn less than $6 a week. President William Green of the A. F. of l.. pointed out at hte lum- Der code hearing that sawmills in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and the Carolinas were paying 1882 wages of 9 to 12 cents an hour. Average earnings for all indus tries at the end of 1892, however, were 46.7 cents an hour.

There isn't an official song-yet-but the first one sub- mitted came from Fred 'Cromweed of New York and the chorus goes like this:
 "Get together for Recovery, Get together for Recovery,
 Oh-now is the time to plan
 Cooperate all we can. And dear Uncle Sam-we're all

Secretary Roper Plans to Make Sweeping Changes
 in Commerce Agency

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Secre- tary Roper is attempting to turn the Commerce Department, which had $58,795, ,OO0 for expenditure in the 1880 fiscal year, into S28000,- 900 agency by January 1.
 In his first report to President Roosevelt, Roper says that S44,- 981 409 was available for the 1883 fiscal year ending June 30, but only $40, ,038, 1923 actually was spent. He adds every effort will be exerted to place the expenditures on a S28 900 ,O0O basis by January, 1884. .''
 The annual report says that in April, May and June of this year, "confidence was greatly strength ened as result of decisive govern mental action, and by the end of the fiscal year tJune 30) progress had been made"
 Nevertheless" Roper continued "the descent from the 1929 level was so sharp and so long maintain ed that despite the constructive work of the President and the Congress, and the whole hearted support of the people, conditions at the end of the fiscal year re- mained far from satisfactory"

WASHINGTON Dec. 27.-A con- stitutional amendment to change the method of electing the Presi- dent of the United States, will be presented at the coming session of Congress against the wishes of President Roosevelt, who hopes for his reelection.
 Senator Norris is the packer of the proposed resolution to change the method of counting electoral votes. The candidate who re- ceived less than majority would be credited with those he won when the final tally is made. Had this method been in effect, many elections of Presidents in the past would have resulted differently.

Fisheries Regulations ls- sued, Cutting Traps,
 Easing on Seines

WASHINGIOr, D. C., Dec. 27--- New regulations for the Alaska fisheries, designed to help the op- orators of smaller types of fishing apparatus were announced here to- day by Frank T. Bell, United States Commissioner of Fisheries, effective January 31, 1884.
 Printed copies of the regulations are now in the course of prepara- ton here and will be ready for distribution from the various of fices of the Bureau of Fisheries within a few weeks.
 Fish Traps Reduced
 The two most important changes in the new regulations, Commis- sioner Bell said, are the reduction in the number of fish traps per mitted to take fish, and the open ing of grounds previously closed to seines and other smaller forms of fishing gear employing many per sons.
 They provide for the permanent closure of 93 trap sites, of which SO are located in the waters of Southeast Alaska and B in other areas. These traps are relinquish- ed by their owners and operators on the request of the Bureau of Fisheries for a considerable reduc- ton in this type of gear so that local residents might have a better opportunity to earn a living with movable gear.
 Open Other Areas
 Commissioner Bell said another outstanding benefit to the operator of smaller gear is in the opening for about 30 days of several bodies of water previously closed to all commercial fishing for salmon. This, he said, is particularly di- rected at helping the purse seiners as it enables them to get closer to the mouths of a number of streams where the fish are more concentrated than offshore.
