IN NEW CITY POST OFFICE
Postmaster General Burleson Acts
When He Sees Editorial
of The Star

A retiring. rest and writing room for
women will be one of the new features
provided for in the new city post office
building adjoining Union station. Direc-
tions to this effect were given by Post
master General Burleson Immediately
when his attention was called to the edi-
torial OF The Star on, April 23 touching
the subject. ard it is probable at tomor-
rows meeting of the special committee
on the new post Office building the plans
will be submitted.
1t is the present purpose to provide this
room facing the public corridor OF the
building where the general business of
the public Is transacted. A woman at
tendant also will be supplied in all prob
ability.
When the subject was first considered
by those charged with the assignment
of space in the new buildings serious
objections presented themselves to a
writing room for general USE because
OF the likelihood of its abuse by ire
sponsible persons who invariably fire.

nuisances committed by this class Of
persons in the present city post office
especially in the telephone stalls. which
are not easily protected because they
are closed in.
The Postmaster General however il
is said. while considering these features
was prompt in reaching the conclusion
that such objections could not apply to
a rest and retiring room for women.

Program for Legislation.

The program OF the President and the
House leaders is that the banking and
currency committee get to work on a bill
as soon as possible, ard report ii to the
House early in June, while the Senate Ia

In all probability a currency bill will
be passed by the House and will be
awaiting the Senate when the tariff bill
is concluded by that body. 1t will then
be up to the Senate to act on currency
or put off action until winter.
Reports to the President are that the
Senate will refuse TO stay in Washington
after passing a tariff bill. but the Presi-
dent feels that it will be just as well for
the opinion of the country To be received
i'm Washington before postponement of
currency legislation is finally decided on
in the Senate.
