considerable proportion of the male copy
lists employed by the addressing company
which is copying the lists of the insurance
companies policyholders for the Interna-
tional Policyho.ders' Association committee

The trouble appears to have arisen over
the fact that the copyists hired in Albany
were paid 81 per thousand names. while a
number of men We're sent from New York
under an engagement to be paid but 50
cents. Severa, of these latter men sac
today that the representative of the COM
pany had assured them that they could
make two or three dollars a day. whereas
they had found the conditions such that
they could not on the average make even a
dollar.
y uniform rate of 81 was finally con-
coded by the company and a number of
strikers went back to work. The rest held
out for better rate or for d days pay

They sent a delegation to the city chart

Norfolk Man Asks officials to Probe
Matter

NORFOLK. Va. July 1.-Two weeks ago
l. Abramson of Norfolk complained to the
United States Post Office Depa -tment that
three money orders purchased at Lynch
burg by Jacob Gershon for transmission to
a relative in Russia had been refused pay
ment in the latter country. and Mr.. Abram-
son asked an investigation of the matter.
He has received a reply from the depart
ment, stating that the matter will be taken
up with the Russian post office department.
with an urgent request for further investi-
cation.
1t is claimed by the Russian department
that payment has been made. In reply to
the complaint the United States Post Office
Department says:
1T should be pointed out however, that
payment of a money order issued in this
country on Russia Is not effected upon the
order delivered by the issuing postmaster
to the remitter but on another order of diff
ferent form. issued by the Russian ex-
change office at Warsaw. The return of
the original money order form of the United
States issue is. therefore. not satisfactory
evidence that the amount was not paid I'd
