POSTMASTER GENERAL
UPHELD BY COURT
Justice Bafnard's Ruling in
Second Glass Mail Case.
Decides That Chicago Business College
Is Not Institution Solely for Ad-
vancement of Learning.

| In the case of the Chicago Business
College against the Postmaster General
Justice Barnard, of the Supreme Court
of the District, has handed down an
opinion deciding the matter In favor OF
the Government.
This case, like those decided some
weeks ago. by the late Justice Bradley,
related to the postal reforms instituted
by ex-Postmaster General Charles En-
cry Smith and the Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Edwin p. Madden, in
their efforts to reduce the postal deficit.
The Chicago Business College having
had its publication Business Educa-
ton" excluded from the second class
rate. filed a petition for mandamus to
compel its restoration.
Department Contention Correct.
Judge Barnard decided this conten-
tion in favcr of the Postmaster General,
and at the same time stated that. in
his opinion. the construction put upon
the act OF Congress by the department
was altogether correct.
As a result of the decision. the man
danus will be refused and the petition
dismissed 1t is understood that the at
torneys for the Chicago Business Col
lege will appeal at once to the Court
of Appeals. as there are nearly hun
dred schools and colleges whose publica-
tions depend upon the construction of
the same statute which are waiting for
q final decision in this case.
