Whatever He Says Goes in the
PostOffice Investigation.

Washington, April 1S.-The indica-

come a party to the investigation of the
affairs of the postoffice department. A
special committee of the Central Labor
unien of this city, which has been
secretly investigating the matter, has
formulated charges of favoritism ana
lncompetency against a certain official
of the mail equipment division of the
department The charges, which prob
ably viii be filed today with the post
master general, allege that the mail
bags that do not conform to the SpeCi-
hcatiOnS have been accepted by the
chief of the division Col. Thomas P.
Graham. Other charges allege, among
other things. that worthy and needy
white woman IS disseminated against IN
favor of negro woman emplOye there;
that the foreWoman of the sewing room
used offensive language toward her sub
ordinates, that when the machine oper-
ators were reduced from 81 per diem to
81 % per diem the salaries OF the super
intsndent and some of the other officers
were raised from $3.50 to $420 per an
mum; that the suspension of one clerk
was Illegal and of another unjust; that
engineers are worked overtime without
compensation: that the foreman Of the

was not contemplating the suspension
Of any official pending the close of the

to recommend a suspension the recon-
mendation would be considered very
carefully and with a. disposition to fol-
low the recommendation, though he

pendent Judgment as to what the cir

Mr. Payne was asked regarding the
alleged advance information furnished
to interested parties with reference to
the appointment of rural free delivery
carriers.
Il suppose you mean by that" re-
sponded the postmaster general, "the
possibility of collusion between the de-
partment and business concerns inter-
ested. I do not see how such tips could
come from the department because the

tons of persons in the service to fur

Because these men are here as mis-

they are preachers by profession On
the contrary not one of them is
preacher. They are simply business
men or farmers or cattlemen who have
been called by the president of the Nor
mon church to 60 into the missionary
field. Every Norman is liable to be
thus called. as the citizen of Germany
is liable for military duty. And when
called he must go, and go at his own
expense and without salary. Usually, OF
course, only those are designated to this
duty who can afford the expense But
when a Door man is chosen his neigh
bOrs nelp him. The Mormon church has
no salaried ministers. The elders who
go out into any portion Of the United
States are expected to stay from two
to three years without returning home
Those which are sent into the isles Of
the sea are to stay from three to five
years.
The elders travel in pairs, and when
they enter a county they go up one
road and down another, calling at every
house. talking with the people and leav-
ing tracts. After canvassing a neigh
borhood they hold public meetings. In
the country they carry neither purse

the hospitality Of the people. In the

in lola they will make a house to house

They never ask anybody to join the
Mormon church. They preach their
doctrine. leave their tracts. and go on
their way. If anybody processes con-
