cOLoRED POSTMASTERS' SALARIES
House Defeats the Provision to Make
BOycOttS Ineffective.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE re-
publican administrations recently
have had considerable difficulty with
their appointments OF cOlored men
to small pOstoffices, especially in
southern states. Where these ap-
pOintments have been forced against
the wishes OF the democratic patrons
the latter have, it is asserted. inau-
gurated very effective boycotts of
the appOintees. The custom has
been that the patrons weuld permit
the offensive postmaster to handle
the incoming mail, but outgoing
letters would be sent to the trains,
or the adjoining pOstotfice, in order
to cut the local office out of the com
missions payable for stamps can
celed.
/ To meet these boycotts. at the re-
quest OF the administration, the
pOstoffice committee reported a pro-
vision in the pending bill
the postmaster general i'll such cases
TO fix a special compensation for the
boycotted postmaster, regardless OF
the stamps Cancelled.
The house committee OF the whole
to-day defeated this proposition.
The members evidently believed the
proper solution OF such matters is
for the postmaster general to APP
point pOstmasters who are fairly
satisfactory to the patrons of the
offices.
