Postal Officials Are
In a Great Quandary

Postmaster General Hitchcock still he's
his woodpile. After a wait OF half a
month. postal officials are convinced
there will be no response to the pro-
posals advertised for bidder to rid the
department Of this surplus lockwood.
Twenty-first street business man, in
= letter dated November IL, offered to
enter contract to pay 25 cents a single
load and 45 cents double load for this
wood. Such a contract could not be
given him without advertising bids, In
accordance with the law. An advertise
ment was inserted In the paper, but
when the time came to open bids there
were no bidders. The Twenty-tirst street
man was communicated with, but failed
to respond.
Postmaster General Hitchcock is des-
rerate over the situation. The coming
of the first cold spell in November
caused residents to come along and
purchase fire wood for % cents a load.
But not a person has called I'm the last
month. and the woodpile that seriously
disturbed the peace and equanimity of
Congressman Redfeld. Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock. and the insurance un-
derwriters, is again obtaining tremen-
dous proportions. IL Is still exposed TO
tie sparks Of passing locomotives.

DIVISION GROWING
AS TO FRAMING Of
WOOL TARIFF BILL
Senator La Toilette Will Not
Accept Report Of Tariff
Board.

Division Of opinion - to how wool
bill should be framed IL daily becoming
greater. This applies not merely to the
division between Republicans and Demo
Gratis, but also to that among the Re-
publicans themselves.
Senator La Toilette, II has been known
from the outset. would not sit down and
accept the Interpretation OF the tariff
board report, which will be given by
men like Senator'S Smoot and Penrose.
and congressman Dalzell, Fordney, and
Payne. The Wisconsin Senator is going
to prepare q bill Of his own. He has
experts at work. and has como to the
conclusion the tariff board report justi-
fies even lower rate than the IS per
cent duty fixed In the La Toilette bill in
the Senate last session.
This points to the conclusion that It IL
not unlikely the Senate insurgents and
Democrats will eventually get together
on wool bill and pass one Just as they
did last session.
1t is expected to be months before tho
tariff controversy becomes acute in the
Senate. The wool bill win not pass the
House for weeks. and when 1t does It
will 60 to the Senate Finance Commit
tee. and then hearings probably will be
held.

road reduce the rates on pineapples I'd

order was granted. and Immediately the
