ROOSEVELT AFTER EN-
Rural Mail Carriers Got Busy
During the Late General
Election.

Washington, Dec. S.-Several weeks
ago-in the heat of the presidential
ampaign-complaints were made TO the
president and TO the postmaster gen
eral by several members of congress
who were candidates for reelection
that they were being made the victims
OF a systematic plan on the part OF
the rural letter carriers association TO
defeat them unless they should sccede
to certain demands of the association.
One of these demands was that the
carriers should have. an increase OF
pay. A special effort was made by
members of the associat ton TO embar-
Tass Representative OVerstreet of In
diana. chairman OF the postofiice and
post roads committee of the house. be-
cause, II is alleged, he had not done
for the rural carriers what they
thought he ought to have done Pres
ident Cunningham of the association is
said to have been one of those who
made demands upon candidates for
congress. of course. on behalf of the
members of the association. The com
plants filed with the president and
postmaster general mentioned Presi-
dent Cunningham as one OF those re-
sponsible for the attempted "hold-up,"
as it was termed byf the victims.
D- NliECNAOl VI the pItSlQtlll ali III
vestigation of the matter was insti-
tuted by the postmaster general.
If the charges are maintained. as is
now expected. there probably will be
a general overhauling of the rural free
delivery carrier service.
Declares Charge Untrue.
Omaha Dec. 3-President Cunringham
of The National Rural Letter Carriers as
sociation, who has a route running out of
South Omaha, has had no information that
the matter referred to in this dispatch
is to be taken up officially although he
had seen newspaper interview by Chair
man Overstreet of the house rostoffice
committee referring TO il shortly after
election. Mr.. Cunningham was averse to
discussing the subject without having
more definite information. He said
The charge that the rural letter car
riers made an effort to defeat certain
congressman is untrue. The carriers made
no organized fight against any candidate
for congress. 1t would be absurd 10 think
of the carriers in Congressman Over
streets district making an organized eff
fort against him, as there are only about
twenty or thirty carriers in his district.
Our official organ expressly advised that
the rural letter carriers as al sssocat ton
take no active part in politics.
