FIGHT SEIZURE OF STAMPS.

P~hilatelists Fight Against the Action
of United States Postal Authorities,
The recent seizure by the postal off,
Gals of a collection of United States
periodical stamps found In the posses.
sion of the Walter S. Scott Stamp COM
pany, of New York, has raised a storm
Of protest from philatelists in all parta
of the country. The postal authorities
claim that the stamps were ~"stolen,
embezzled and purloined from the gov
eminent" This charge is resented by
the philatelists, who declare that large
quantities Of periodical stamps were
openly sold by the government to col
lectors from 1878 to 1885 and that re-
ceipts were given the purchasers by the
third assistant postmaster general. In
support of this contention they point
to a circular on the subject issued by
the post office department under the
date of March q. 1878, relative to the
sale of these same stamps. Further
they say that over 700 sets of these
periodical stamps were furnished by
the United States government to the
officials of the Universal Postal union
at Berne, Switzerland. and that most of
these sets have long since passed into
the hands of collectors. .
At a meeting of the Chicago Philatelic
society resolutions were adopted pro-
testing in behalf of the members
against this unjust, oppressive and un-
lawful proceeding." DR.. 3. A. Cottlow,
a leading member of the society, says
that the matter will be brought up in
congress in case no satisfaction can be
obtained through the courts.
"This is a matter of the greatest i'm
portance to stamp collectors and deal
ers everywhere in the country" said
DR.. Cottlow. There is no law author
izing the seizure of the stamps. 1t is
simply done under a ruling by the post
master general. A committee has been
appointed in New York to take up a
subscription to fight the case in the
United States courts. Already the
philatelists have contributed over ST.
900.
