Sing A MERRY SONG
OF OFFICE SCANDAL"
Postofice Clerk Thinks. Humorous Ar
ticle May Be Taken Seriously.


To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
In your Issue OF July there appears
an article under the headlines. Sing
a Merry Song of Ofice Scandal" The
article is copied from the New York
SUM-" and purports 70 be an account Of
the departmental independence cele-
bration." The article is a tissue Of
falsehoods from the beginning to the
end. as nothing OF the kind occurred in
the Postofice Building during the eele-
bration. or after. The celebration was
purely patriotic one. and met with
the approval OF the Postmaster General
and other officials OF the Postoffice De-
partment
As this article has been copied in
many Of the newspapers throughout the
country, the readers of which may be-
lieve the same 10 be truthful. the COM
mittee Of arrangements and the clerks
Of the Postofice Department feel that
it is placing them in a ridiculous light
before the public. l would therefore re-
quest that you make a denial OF the
story as published. and brand il as q
falsehood. which the author knew IL to
be when he wrote 1t. Very respectfully
yours. W. B. STEWART.
