TO PROBE POSTOFr|CES.
HOUSE COMMITTEE FAVORS
SAUNDERS RESOLUTION OF
INQUIRY.
Main Purpose Is to Find Now Far
PARTISAN Considerations Affect
Uncle Sans Mail Service.

Washington, April 25.-The deter
mination to investigate the alleged
political machine built up through
appointments Of postmasters is be-
hind the action Of the house COM
mittee OF expenditures in. the post
Office department which today decid-
ed to order a favorable report upon
the resolution Of Representative Saun-
ders OF Virginia, demanding an in
vestlgation Of the work Of various
postmasters throughout the country.
The house committee, beginning an
investigation Of the postoffice depart
ment in general will now inquire
specifically into these questions 40
asked in the Saunders resolution:
Are posmasters devoting their full
time to the discharge of official du.
IT, s?
How many postmasters named by
Postmaster General Hitchcock are
using their positions to promote the
interest Of the Republican party?
What percentage Of postmasters
are chairman Of political clubs, and
how many Of them are campaign
stump speakers?
If it is true that at many offices the
men holding the title Of postmaster
seldom come around, leaving the
work to subordinates?
Why does the postofice department
discontinue and remove postofflces
without consulting the interests of
the community served?
The resolution recently introduc-
ed by Mr.. Saunders recites that there
is need Of an investigations of all
the questions. He declares that he
has personal knowledge Of cases
where postmasters are such in name
only. They are politicians, de-
clares the Virginia representative. and
regard their offices as sinecures to be
held only as political rewards. The
committee will make a few changes
in the phraseology Of the Saunders
resolution, but when it is formally re-
ported to the house tomorrow it will
be sufficiently comprehensive to bring
about a full examination of the re-
Iatlon or postmasters to politics aud
