DENIAL OF FAVORITISM.
Postmaster Merritt Discusses Revolt
of Special Delivery Boys.

Referring 10 the revolt among the spe-
cial delivery messengers of his ONCE, re-
sulting in seven white messengers hand
ing in their designations. Postmaster Mer-
rift said today that so far as he could
ascertain 1t seemed to be simply a cul-
mination of boyish antipa thies. growing.
perhaps. out OF personal difficulties which.
with i'll feelings existing had been ex-
agxerated. There are from sixty eight to
seventy special delivery messengers en-
plOyed. he said. and ii has been his a m
to maintain the ratio of white and colored
messengers at 4 to l,
The charge of favoritism. he said. is
utterly without foundation. as the meth
DDS followed in assigning the boys for
deliveries would make it Impossible for
supervisory employees to favor the one
or the other. Seven white boys have
brought the trouble to focus, and as
signed race differences as the cause.
IF find the facts have been correctly
represented to me-. SAID Mr.. Merritt,
the trouble will be ended with a few
dismissals If. however. 1t is due to the
causes l suspect. ! believe a little dis
ciplinary measures will cure it. OF course
we cannot permit the special delivery
messenger boys to run the office

Senator Norris Criticises Those Who
Financed Coffee Valorization.

THE international bankers who fur
nished the money" for the Brazilian oof-
fee yalorization scheme We're denounced
I'm the Senate today by Senator Norris
of Nebraska in a speech reviewing the
plan. He declared that the men behind
the scheme had sought to stand al the
door of every home demanding an unjust
tribute from Gods poor.
In my opinion man who has wealth
and would do that has more to answer
for to his God than the man who vio
lates handmade law. said the senator.
Mr. Norris deprecated the dismissal by
the government of its case against the
valorization committee on the claim that
Brazilian coffee held up by the govern
ment had been sold. He said he believed
these coffee magnates handed the Attor-
ney General a gold brick when they rep
resented that the coffee he ID up had been
disposed Of in q bona fide sale.
