WANT POSTOFFICE
INVESTIGATION

Washington, April 18.-The indica-
tions are that organized labor will be-
come party to the affairs in the Post
office Department. A special commit
tee of the Central Labor Union of this
city which has been secretly investi-
eating the matter. has formulated
charges of favoritism. incompetency,
ETC., against certain of the mail equip
ment department Of the division.
The charges. which probably will be
filed tomorrow with the postmaster,
general. allege that the mail bags that
do not conform to the specifications
have been accepted by the chief of the
division, Col. Thomas P. Graham. Other
charges allege. among other things,
that a worthy and needy white woman
is disseminated against in favor of a
negro woman employe there; that the
forewoman of the sewing room used Of
fensiye language toward her subordi-
mates; that when the machine operat-
ors were reduced from 50 per diem to
$1.75 per diem. the salaries of the su-
perintendent and some of the other off,
GERS were increased from $3.50 to 5000
per annum; that the suspension of one
clerk was illegal and of another un-
just; that engineers are worked over
time without compensation; that the
foreman of the lockshop is not a lock-
maker, and that recommendations for
promotion are not based on merit.
Postmaster General Payne said he
thought 1t was the duty of newspapers
that acquire evidence of improper ac-
tons of persons in the service to fur
nish 1t to the department, and aid in
the investigation now in progress.
