ABUSE OF THE MAILS.
Street Car Mems Union Addresses an open
Telegram to President Roosevelt.
(By the Assoclated Press. }


Pittsburg. Pa, May 8-Important action
was taken today by the Amalgamated
Street Railway Employees in addressing
an open telegram to President Roosevelt
reciting alleged abuses of the mails by
different street car companies and asking
him to demand of the Postmaster Cen
eral that he enforce the postal laws and
correct the abuses.
Some grievances were brought up Dy
delegates in the manner in which the
United States mails were used In San
Francisco and New Orleans during the
time that the street car men were having
trouble with their employers on account
of organizing divisions of the union 1t
was asserted that in the former city the
mails of the street car men were held up;
that letters were opened and photographs
were taken of the contents, when, III
many cases were posted by the employers
at the various car barns. This was done,
it is alleged, in order to deter employees
from joining the union. In New Orleans,
similar methods were practieed In order
to suppress the ror--1ing of unions.
The convention denounced in strong
resolution this sort of use of the United
States mail and appointed a committee
of FIVE to convey their disapproval OF
such practices to President Roosevelt.
