regarding a large number Of letters.
He told of recommending a contribu-

Buchanan OF Illinois for reelection
and Of personal interviews with lead

Of legislation urged by organized la

wrote to President John Kirby. Jr.. of
the Association on March Z, 1913, at

can the Importance of lining up for
tremendous demonstration when
this bill reaches President Wilson. as

means anything, or whether the ad-
ministration has surrendered COM
pletely or will merely turn over the
department Of labor.
II note by the way your reference
to letter from c. W. Post on the
question Of protest over the appoint
ment Of Wilson (secretary Of labor).
A protest on this subject is nero
waste Of breath and on the whole
am inclined to think that the whole
purpose Of this department will be
shown up quicker with the unions in
control Of 1t than in any other way.

RATE LOWERING
IS CRITICISED
Representative Kindel At
tacks Burleson's Parcel
Post Plans.

Washington. Aug. e.-Postmaster
General Burleson's plan for extension
of the parcel post and the lowering Of
rates came in for severe criticism in
the house today from Representative
Kindel Of Colorado. one Of two con-
gressnnen called in by Mr.. Burleson
as consultants in his revision plan.
Mr.. Kindel declared the entire plan
Of extension Of the parcel post had
been worked out by commission Of
four $4,000 clerks. none of who's,
"could run corner grocery FOR me.''
The new rates in the first and second
zones are much lower, Mr.. Kindel con-
tended. in comparison with the rates
for the other zones.
He criticized particularly the fact
that packages can be reshipped four
times under the short zone rates at a
total cost much less than the long dis
tance charges. The through rate Of
100 pounds from Chattanooga to
Washington he said would be $1.22.
while II the packages were reshipped
four times the rate would amount to
only 90 cents.

The Glass bill was approved late

floor Of the caucus.
The difference among democrats Of
the house committee were not settled
by final action on the bill. Besides
the three who voted against It. Rep
resentative Wingo Of Arkansas ex-
pressly stated that he would fight for
amendments to the measure in the
caucus.
"At the last moment and without
any previous consideration" said Rep
resentative Neeley in statement. "a
motion was passed authorizing the
chairman to draft an amendment to
the bill authorizing national banks to
organize and operate both savings and
trust departments in conjunction with
the other features of the bank.

amendment to prohibit interlocking

similar votes. In each Of these con-
tests Representatives Neeley, Rags

against the balance Of the democrats.
The currency bill probably will not
be passed upon by the republican
members Of the house committee until
after 1t has gone through the demo-
