Plan Adopted Because of Belief
That Peoples Correspondence
Should Be Safe.

That the Post Office Department gets
nothing from the railroads but what it
pays for is substantially the reply Of
Postmaster General Hitchcock to state
ment attributed to Julius Kruttschnitt,
a Chicago director of maintenance and
operation of the Hartman lines, OF re-
cent publication.
The Postmaster General says positively
there are no free passes issued by his
department, that the official commissions
and trip passes used by postal officials
and post office inspectors are covered
by the general contract with the rail-
road companies for the transportation
of the mails. and that since his ad-
ministration the use of such commissions
or passes for private purposes has been
forbidden under the penalty of dismissal
of him who uses them

Provided by Congress.

The commissions and passes are pro-
vided for by act Of Congress, are paid
for out Of the postal revenues, and no
phase Of their use by even a tortuous
construction is violation Of the inter-
state commerce law, according to the
Postmaster General
Speaking further to the statement
attributed to Mr.. kruttschnitt the
Postma ster General says the railroad
companies receive their present COM
pensation for carrying the mails in
the manner they do because the Post
Office Department feels the correspon-
dence Of the public should be SO car
rfed 1t makes it's contract with the
railroads for that method of carrying
the mails. It may be true, the Post
master General thinks. that all the
mail to be conveyed over given line
by given train might be carried in
one express or one freight car, but he
does not feel that this important serv-
ice of the people should be treated in
this manner. Besides. to do away with
the railway postal clerk service could
not fail to be a very serious detriment
to good mail service.
