ONE MILLION INVOLVED I Carriers From all Farts of the Country rutting In Claims or From BiOO to 91,000 Vaoh, ami tluclgmnnU Amounting to 830,000 Havo IWen lUcovered. Uncle Sam is to bo made defendant in suits brought by the letter carriers of town to recover pay for over time spent in collecting and delivering mail matter. The claims of each of the five carriers for over time worked during tho pnst four years amount to from MOO to fOOO each. Tho carriers havo employed M. At Burke. Esu.. of town, as their attorney and he has retained George King, Esq., of Washington, I). C, as counsel. The claims were forwarded to the government nt Washington yesterday. The law under which tho carriers are employed provides that eight hours shall constitute a day's work, the carriers go on duty at 0 a. m. and they claim that under the law their day's work is legally complete nt 2 p. m., so that all time they have given after the latter hour carries extra compensation with it, in fact tha uourt or matins at Washington has so decided. This movement nnon the nart of the local carriers is by no meanB the first of the kind. Similar snlts have been brought in several parts of the country and judg ments to the amount of $50,000 have already been recovered. These claims range from (600 to (1,000 each. The claims in the whole country will probably amount to $1,000,000. In Philadelphia alone there are about 100 claims. There is no aDnronrlation to meet these claims and it is not likely that the pres ent Congress will make one. A point has been raised on the ques tion of "swings," or idle time the carriers havo between collections, assortments nnd deliveries. It is claimed the law reads eight consecutive hours and that "swings" of less than an hour is Govern ment time, but no pay can be claimed for swings" over an nour long.

The Home Friendly Society of Balti more, Md., commenced business May, 1884, and up to the present time, (April, 1804,) it has been noted for taking the lead in making liberal contracts with its members. It now has assets over $50,000 and gradually increasing from year to year. Considering this quite enough as surance to keep the society nt high water mark of solid security, it now Increases the benefits above all other industrial insur ance companies doing business in Amer ica. It not only greatly increases the benefits, but will put Infantile policies in immediate benefit for the full amount nccording to their table of rates. Adults in immediate benefit for one-third the first six months, two-thirds second six months nnd the full amount after one year; nnd at the expiration of ten years of persistent membership nil who are insured on tho life plan, it they feel so disposed, may discontinue and draw fifty per cent, of the amount they have paid into the Society, consequently carrying their risk for fifty per cent, loss than any other company. This is the most liberal policy ever offered and contains the features of in surnnce and savings bank combined. It mny bo asked how this society can do this while othor compnnles do not. The answer Is simply this: They could all do it if they would, and cease building up the millions of surplus that are neither necessary nor beneficial to the members. The Home Friendly Society Is conducted on small expenses nnd conservative prin ciples, with a careful selection of risks. No speculative features in this society. This is the reason it can fulfill its prom ises, and the the best proof in the world is that it has always done what it prom ised. TEN YEAHS ENDOWMENT. Particular attention is called to the Society ten yenr endowment plan, where members havo not to die to win. It is especially well adapted for children. This is the most liberal nnd In fact the only liberal industrial endowment poller Issued nnd one which will meet with favorable support.
