Replying to published statements to the
from the pay Of the rural delivery car
riers in every case where the. entire
routes are not served, or where the car
riers do not make schedule time, thus
imposing hardships on the carriers who
were forced to struggle with the intense
cold and snowdrifts during the past win.
ter, Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral De Graw states that such allegations
wholly misrepresent the policy Of the
Post Office Department.. - =;
W nile every mail carrier is expected to
do his full duty in serving the people, II
Is not the practice of the department to
make deductions from the pay Of car
riers when they are behind their schedule
or fail to render complete service because
Of INSTRUCTED roads. Postmasters were
instructed. Mr.. De Graw stated. to make
deductions on. the pay vouchers Of rural
carriers in cases OF partial or: total fail
ure of service where they had not made
proper efforts to cover the routes. OF
where the failures were due to SOME rea.
son personal to the carriers, but that nc
available means had been used in an en-
deavor to render full service.
Had a Hard Winter.
During the past winter rural carriers
throughout the country experienced
the most severe weather since the in
auguration Of, the. rural delivery serv-
Ice. On account Of the severity Of the
weather many deductions In the pay OF
rural barriers resulted under the OPP
GRAFTON OF the rules and regulations res-
tablished years ago. But in every
case where 1t has been shown by post
masters that proper efforts had been
made by carriers to travel their routes
or so much thereof as could be GOV.
cred without injury to man or beast
the deductions have been remftted.
While remissions Of deductions have
been made in every case brought to
the attention of the Department since
the issuance Of the rules and regula-
tons referred to. those on account OF
deductions made during the past win
ter have been greater than ever before
The intensity of the past winter, in
some cases made it. absolutely impos-

Georgia Senator Declares, the Pro-

tory and Unsatisfactory. -.
Benefit OF RAILWAY MEN

Alleging that employees of railroads en-
gagged in interstate commerce who may
be injured solely by their own negli-
gence' are the only ones to be benefited
by the proposed workmens compensation
bill drafted by the workmen's compens9-
ton commission and approved by the
Senate committee on judiciary, Senator
Hoke Smith yesterday afternoon made ar
attack upon the bfl1 In the Senate: :"
l. THE proposed law arbitrarily cuts
down the recovery. Of all employees maxi
ling $50 a month or more" Senator Smith
said, ito one-half Of the former salary,
with the further provision that in no
case shall the salary be considered as
over 500 per month. A man making
500 or $3.50 per. month under this pro-
posed bill would only be allowed to re-
disability, cutting off both hands or both
legs or a like injury. A man making $50
per month could only recover $25 per
month. Recoyeries for other injuries are
reduced about In the same proportion.
+ Abridges Rights Of Employees.
1.-THE proposed bill takes away from an
injured employee the right ITO suetin the
state court, to have his trial before a
jury and to make a contract, with his
lawyer It limits his recovery to about
one-third Of what he can now recover. It
cuts off his wife and children from any
considerable recovery. 1t pays what is
finally allowed by the month instead OF
giving 1t to the employe or his personal
representative in lump sum. 1t does
not stop litigation, for 1t leaves all cases
to be passed upon by a United States
court master. and 1t leaves a large num-
Der of injuries to be tried, the amount Of
compensation to depend practically upon
the discretion Of this one man appointed
/. by the United States district court judge.
I 1.-The employee to be benefited is the
man injured solely by his own negligence.
I deny that it Is just to SO destroy the
rights OF all the other employees. for the
benefit Of the negligent.
Provisions Of Other Laws.
Senator Smith outlined the provisions
Of the safety appliance act and the 'em-
ployers' liability act, and pointed out
that through recent decisions Of the
United States. Supreme Court, the. bene-
fits OF these acts are now, for the first
time, to be fully experienced. Under the
employers liability act, he said. the en-
ploye. Of a railroad engaged in Interstate
commerce can in the future recover In
practically every case except where the
Injury was due solely to the negligence
l-of the employe injured. The amount OF
i his recovery, he added, should be his en-
|.tire financial loss. together with compen-
/ sation for pain, suffering and deformity,
I;except where reduced by contributory
negligence. : .1-'7' --'.'-'

Don't Like Double Mating.
tt seems to the writer that the
STANDARD requirements of no breed
shoul be such as TO necessitate the
practice of double mating and when
breed under z single mating viii not
conform to the standard the standard
should be maoe to conform to the
breed.
In the breeding of Brown Leghorns
the double mating IS even more i'm
perative than with Plymouth Rocks,
and the mating Ct the pens for the
production of the separate sexes more
complex, and harder to understand
than with Plymouth Rocks. This fact
has seriously affected the popularity
of this valuable breed. man who
does not understand the breeding of
Brown Leghorns would pronounce the
female of q cockerel breeding pen
half breeds Their color is dark with
but little indication of Leghorn blood
and their combs are small and stan
straight UP.
The dark color OF the female is
necessary to the production of the
rich dark colored males. As with Ply
mouth Rocks the tendency of the male
is to come too light.
The small, straight comb Of the fe-
male is required TO keep the large,
coarse Minorca comb from the heads Of
the males, and this is true Of the en-
tire Leghorn family. II you would
produce males of fine head points with
combs of proper texture and size the
double mating system must be prac-
ticed- From the product of a single
mating of Leghorns, either the combs
and gills of the males are too large
or Of the females too small though !
with the solid colored varieties of I
Leghorns it is not necessary to main I
tain two separate families for the pro- !
duction Of the two sexes and the two /
matings can very well be made up from
the same yards
