for in the bills under consideration is very
simple, easily understood and would prove
of incalculab BILE convenience to the public If
the bills could be enacted into law. 1 do
not doubt, If Congress- in its wisdom,
should pass some such measure, the eXecu-
tive officers of the government would find
a way to carry into effect its provisions.
1nnumerable remittanceS of small amounts

to this time the government has provided

money order system. Millions of our people
live more or less remote from any post
Office and a very large proportion of them
are unable to buy money order or bank
draft without inconvenience. 1t is not un-
reasonable to expect from the government
that 1t will provide an easy, convenient and
safe method to transmit small sums, say,
less than 81 in amount, without putting
the sender to the inconvenience and expense
which now obtains in compelling him to
purchase draft or post Office money order,
and the bills in question aim to provide
such method"
In view of objections raised by officials of
the Treasury Department Postmaster Cen
eral Payne requested the members of the
committee representing the Post Office De-
partment to prepare substitute bill which,
while believed to be not as comprehensive
or convenient as the post check bill, would
yet furnish measure Of relief and would
not involve the Treasury Department in its
enforcement. This bill he incloses with his
letter.
In concluding Postmaster General Payne

Grievances of Navy Yard Men.

Maynard, Republican National Committee
man George E. Bowden, Mr.. Charles T.
Bland, member of the Virginia legislature
from Portsmouth. and Gen. Agnew, and rep
resenting the painters employed at the
Norfolk navy yard, called upon Secretary
Moody at the Navy Department yesterday
and spent over an hour in setting out to
the Secretary the grievances of the men.
The painters complaint is in regard to the
system of rating at the yard. They de-
clare that men who are rated as second
class are required to do work which should
belong to a painter Of the first class with a
discrepancy in pay. Secretary Moody lis
tened attentively to what the committee
had to say and assured its members in a
general way that the regulations concern
ing the rating of navy yard laborers should
be strictly adhered to, and that there would
be no depression from them in the case Of
the Norfolk yard.
