PTTTSBTJRG, Aug. . Unexpected de

a contractor In tho city was employing
union engineers as such, neither had they
recognized tha Hoisting Engineers' union.
No attention had been paid to the other
contractors by the workmen, who singled
out A. S. Wilson and tried to compel
btm to sign the union scale. The discrimin
ation against the Wilson company was not
relished by tha league members, accordingly
when a reply to the proposition for a set
tlement was received demanding, that the
proposed settlement be made at once and
not within ten days the league decided to
withdraw the whole plan and Stand on the
original ground which demanded that the
workmen return on tha Wilson contracts on
exactly the same conditions as existed
before the strike.

ports that the notorious Kurdish chief,
Moussa Bey, who was responsible for
many of the Armenian outrages, has es
caped from Medina with several other Kur
dish chiefs, and that all attempts to In
tercept thorn have failed.
Tha sultan was so Incensed that he or
dered the immediate dismissal of the gov
ernor of Medina, this being the third time
Moussa has escaped. It Is feared he will
reach Kurdistan and lead a new insurrec
tion against the Turks, with perhaps a
repetition of the atrocities in Armenia.

MAIL ORDER BUSlNtSS ASSISTS FRAUD
Paid la Paper, Firms Sell to Public,
Thus treating Market for
Thieves and Crooks of
All SOrts.
BOSTON, Aug. 6.-The most important
feature of today's session of tho National
Postmaster's association was the passage
of a resolution urging a system by which
"stamp certificates" may bo issued for
carrying on tha now extensive mail order
business bf the country.
Many firms receive thousands of dollars
In stamps every day In exchange for goods.
These cannot be resold to the government,
so are sold to the public at a discount. A
market is thereby opened by which per
sons whi come into possession of stnmps
illegitimately may dispose of thorn almost
without occasioning comment.
Mr. Hubbard, assistant postmaster at
Chicago, estimated that at least $2,000,000
were sold In his city alone. Mall matter
to be handled In the office constantly In
creased, whllo the sale of stamps through
the window remained about the same.
Postmaster Hubbard's system provides
for the issuance by the third assistant
postmaster general of certificates for
stamps of denominations from S to 60 cents,
which would make up all combinations
under $1. Received by stamp order houses
from customers these certificates could be
sorted and exchanged at the postofflces for
stamps or caah at a 'discount of 1 per cent.
Among other topics dlscussod was the
reclassification of clerks In seoond-claas
postofllces and the question of raising the
present salaries of clerks.
Duruig the afternoon the following tele
gram wus received from Oyster Bay:
Your telegram has lxen received and the
president thanks the National Association
of Postmasters for their kind greeting,
which he greatly appreciates.
(Signed; li. F. BARNES,
Acting Secretary.
An extra session was held this evening,
when the delegates were addressed by Third
Postmaster General Edward C. Madden and
Auditor Henry A. Castle of the Postofflce
department. Several committee reports
were also received.
