Tno tenth annual convention of the Rail way Postal Clerks' association of the Sixth district, held In Omaha yesterday ln the federal building, was ono of tho most successful of any of the con ventions of tho order. Tho Sixth district, comprising the states of Illinois, Iowa, Ne braska, South Dakota and Wyoming Is, at the present ttmo, the most lmprotnnt of all the dhtrlcts In tho country ln the national association, for the reason that the national president, C. L. Shaffer, resides In this dis trict and for this reason tho action of tho district convention Is watched with con siderable? Interest by tho members of tho association In other parts of the country. The meeting was harmonious on the out side, but the pleasant exterior covered smouldering fires which from time to tlnio threatened to break Into flames and only the delay of the committee on resolutions sacd the convention from wrangling. As It was the wrangling was done In caucus and ln a recess which consumed an hour of the afternoon session. The real fight of the convention was bo tween the champions of tho Railway Mall, a newspaper published In the Interests of the p03tal clerks at Chicago and tho Rail way Postoffice, published at St. Paul and known as the official organ of the associa tion. A resolution was Introduced ln tho convention endorsing the policy of tho ofTl clnl paper and of Its editor, Mr. Elliott. The resolution went to tho commlttco on resolutions and from before noon until after 4 o'clock that committee wrestled with that resolution, It being adopted Just before the commltteo submitted Its report Tho delegates from Chicago, It Is asserted, wanted to run the entire convention and also, as usual, tho outsiders combined against the big town, with the result that lt was given tho vice presidency and tho choice of flrst place as alternate to the national couvcntlon. The Chicago forces wcre led by H. Hadsell, who at the elec tion of officers attempted to set aside- lho usual order and elect a man other than tho last vice president to the presidency of tho division association. Tho man chosen for this purpose was John C. Wallace of Uur llugton, la. Ho got twenty-ono votes to fifteen cast for C. W. Flshcl of Cedar Rap Ids and this vote showed tho comparative strength of the contending forces All of the other officers wcre elected by acclamation, W. J. Uureess of Chicago bo ing chosen vice president nnd John T. Johnston of Omaha secretary-treasurer, The election of delegates resulted ln tho choice of W. G. Uruce of Cheyenne, T. E Carpenter of Cedar Rapids, G. E. McCon- nell of Council Bluffs, II. W. Yates of Lln coin, Frank Planert of Cairo, III. Alter nates were: John Tehon of Chicago, Walter Redell of DeKalb, 111..

The principal event o the morning session was the address of C. L. Shaffer, national president of tho as sociation. Mr. Shaffer tn tho courso ot his remarks took up the question of a reclass Iflcatlon of tho service. He said that ln tho effort to secure a reclassification the association was rccelv Ing the hearty support of the department which recognized that the present clasnlflca tlon wac Inadequate and worked a hard ship upon the employes. Tho last classlflca tlon was made In 1882 nnd since that tlmo there has been progress mado tn every department of the service. Tho duties of the employes have Increased and becomo more diversified. Tbo work re quired of a clerk nineteen years ago Is not to be compared with the work of slml lar clerks today. The effectiveness of the service and tho average ability of the clerks havo kept pace, but there has been no change ln the classification. Tho desire for change In tho classification Is acentuntcd by the fact that with re classification will como a slight Increase In tho wages of the clerks. Tho speaker be lleved that with tho Increnso proposed the condition of the clerks would not relatively be as good as It was In 1882, as slnco that tlmo, and esptclally this year, the cost ot living was advanced ln a greater degree. Referring to a case In point, he said that this year ho was required to pay, under special agreement, 35 cents for meals at railway eating houses, where ho has pre viously secured them for 25 cents, and that with this Increase ln tbo cost of living he has no-opportunity to recelvo Increased In come, The speaker also took up tho matter of the benefit association ot the order, saying that while that branch had 2,000 members at tho time ot tho annual convention last year.
