PITTsBrRGH, September IA prominent
member of the G. A. r. to-day received a
letter from Paul Vandervoort, ex-
commander-in chief OF the G. A. R, in
which the recent action of Postmaster Gen
eral Gresham in removing him from service
is revived. Vandervoort admits that he
was absent from duty two hundred and
sixty five days during the last fiscal year,
but says this was by the permission OF
Postmaster Generals Howe aud Gresham.
Under Howe his pay went on, but since
Gresham came into power he has only been
paid for the time actually on duty. In
any event, he says, this charge
has been withdrawn, and it is
now argued against him that
he went to Idaho, contrary to instructors
from the division superintendent, White,
his superior. This charge he denies and
says his visit to Idaho was for the purpose
OF instrucling men on new routes aud that
White wanted him to stay longer than he
did. He complains that he was removed
without any notice or investigation, and
says that Gresham has been imposed on
and that he will not be satisfied with moth
ing short of reinstatement.

Ii is fact that the workers for the sec
