i Motor Truck Used
to Build the West
The motor truck has taken upon Itself
the building of the modern west. Its
specialty seems to be an aid In the sc
compIlHhnient of tho great engineering
feats which have to do with the harness
ing or conveying of water.
Packard motor trucks were called Into
action on the Great Wratern Power com
pany's dam at IJig Meadows. In the very
heart of the felorraa of California. A
haul of fifty-two miles, where there were
continuous grades of 4 and 6 per cent for
ten miles at a time, a,nd grades of 17 to
1 per cent at other points, did not deter
the trucks. The freight was steel glrdters
weighing l.SOO to 2,000 pounds, and gener
ally weighted to the truck by heavy bags
of cement.

Ington, where he spends much of his
time.
D. Edson and Local President McOov
ern will b the accredited delegates of
the ' Omaha clerks In the convention.
Purlng the business meeting, ' a number
of Important matters will be brought up
and disposed of. I'erhaps most vital
among these will lie the resurrected pro
position, . that the national association
affiliate with the American Federation of
Labor.
since 190J. when the propoaltlon was
voted down, it lias not been a live' Issue
In conventions of the clerks. However,
there la a movement this year to ac
complish affiliation with national labor,
and it Is quite sure of beng brought to a
vote. Treslilcnt MKlovern of the Omaha
fcrsjich. says:1 1 "" "."
"The majority seem to look with dis
favor upon the proposition, for various
reaaons. I do not think It will be
adopted."
Tho "penny postage" idea being urged
by commercial Interests mf the country
Is another Imixirtant Question to coins
before the convention. The arheme, If
u oecomes law, will involve a decrease
of A0,0QO,0no In the annual postal revenue
of the nation, It Is said.- Huch an enor
mous cut might result In decreased sal
aries or increased hours of work for the
clerks, they fear, and so It Is expectid
tiat the convention will go on record
against the one-cent rate of letter post
age. (
During the last twenty-five years, since
the national association if poatofflce
clerks was organised, It lias seen wonder
ful growth and development. Trior to
1900 there were really two separate as
sociations, but they Joined at that 'time.
Fjnre Its birth, and largely through Its
united effort, the association haa wit
nessed many reforms tn tho postal sys
tem. An Important reclassification of sal
aries has been effected, anad the adop
tion of the present eight-hour law has
practically abolished Sunday work, by
requiring only forty-eight hours of work
per week from each clerk. Halarles are
calculated by the year, from MM up, and
generous vacations are allowed.
Resulting from the1 series of reforms
In the Postofflce department and the
civil service, the merit system has been
adopted, rewarding those deserving of
promotion. For securing such advan
tages tor the clerks, they originally or
ganised and continue to maintain their
association.
