Thomas Williams Tells Story Of Suffer

Thomas williams, a colored man thirty
five yeats Of age. pleaded guilty to a charge
of vagrancy II the Police Court today, and
was sent to the farm by Judge Scott for
ten days, with directions that he be given
medical treatment. Behind this case is a
story of cruel treatment at the hands Of
oyster dredgers IN the lower Potomac.
Williams approached policeman in South

been without food for some time. and had
not enjoyed the shelter Of a house. with
the privilege of sitting beside fire, for
many days.

Objections to Contract System,

wherever there would be honest compe-
tition, 1t is practically sure that the desire
to get the contract might induce bidders to
offer a price below that which could be
termed fair and which would insure an ef-
fcient service. This would be followed by
failure to perform service or a default Of
contract, In which event the department
would be put to. the trouble Of readver-
tising and reletting the service. Besides, in
many instances for day or perhaps for q
longer period the route would be without
service. Such irregular service would cause
protests from indignant patrons. cause de-
stroy Its efficiency and eventually break it
down.
"While the exact figures are not at hand
at this moment. 1t Is stated that under the
contract service the average cost Of q
twenty-hve-mile route exceeds 5000 I
doubt very much II q contract service in
the rural free delivery system, requiring
the personal service of the contractor ex-
cept when absent on account OF sickness
would prove an economical service, as
compared with its present cost. This would
surely be the case wherever there was COL
lusion on the part Of the bidders. Limit
ing the bidders to persons having q resi-
dence on or In the vicinity Of the route to
be served would make this practice easy.

procuring of class of employees such as is
required in the rural free delivery service
as 1t is now conducted would reduce the
personnel of the service to the level Of that
now generally found throughout the star
route service. and prove detrimental to the
whole system, in that 1t would prevent an
efficient personal service on the part Of the
contractors.
"A man who contracts for the faithful
performance of certain duties for a speci-
fled period can hardly have the same in
terest In the service that is usually dis
played by an emplOye who works under
stated salary and is sure Of permanent
position during good behavior
THE wording Of the section shows clear
~ that ability TO read and write will not
necessarily produce contractor of 'suffi-
cient intelligence and ability to properly
perform the service such as is now re-
qGired of a rural carrier.
1T is generally conceded that the only
safe contract system is that which re-
quires the acceptance of the bid Of the
lowest responsible bidder, and a responsible
bidder is one who Is able to supply suf-
ficient bond for the faithful performance
of contract. To deviate from that rule by
allowing three four other conditions to
affect the selection Of the successful bidder,
conditions which must be judged by the
agent who investigates the feasibility of es-
tablishing a rural route. will only open the
way to favoritism and corruption. The
awarding of the contract to the lowest re-
sponsible bidder who can read and write,
who lives in the immediate vicinity of the
route to be served, and who has sufficient
intelligence to perform the duties now re-
quired of rural letter carrier would in
variably cause criticism and complaint on
the part of all others whose bids might be
lower than that Of the successful bidder
and lead to charges Of corruption and
bribery against the agents and officers OF
