ing to do with your post office
service:
A step in the right direction by
the Board of Directors of the
knights of Columbus is calling the
attention of the Postmaster General
to the fact that the character of the
matter being printed in a certain
scurrilous and loathsome publica-
ton is in violation of the postal
laws and should bar it from the
mails. Some such action as this
had become imperatively necessary,
and, now that it has been taken it is
to be hoped that the charges will
be sufficiently specific and pertinent
to compel action on the part of the
postal auth critics.
