POSTAL OFFICIALS ENJOINED
Superintendent of Malls Woods Wants to
Hold His Job.

Washington. Sept. John G. Woods,
superintendent of mails a; the Louisville,
KY, postoffice. today brought suit
against Postmaster General Gary and
the postoffice department, to prevent
them from removing him from the serv-
ice. The case probably will be a test
OF the power TO remove a government
official embraced within the civil service
rules.
Woods was notified that his services
would be dispensed With. and refused to
resign. He has now asked for an injunc-
ton 10 prevent his removal.
The court has issued temporary re-
straining order TO protect his rights.
Washington. Sept. AT the postofiice
department Il is stated that the office OF
superintendent OF mails. which Woods is
seeking to keep, is uniformly filed by de-
tails OF employees of the railway mail
service. This is in the nature OF tenn
porary promotion and the order against
which Woods complains directed him to
resume his former run in tina; service.
With this notifica ton 10 Woods TO re-
turn - his old work was the formal de-
tail OF Clerk O'Donnell to succeed him as
superintendent The restraining order
issued by Judge Bingham was served on
Postmaster General Gary and First As
sistanc Postmaster General Heath this
afternoon.
