AGAINST Mr.. BURLESON

chine Contract.

Alleging that Postmaster General
Burleson refuses to interfere with
awards for cancelling machines made
by the Post Office Department in the

B. F. Cummins Company Of Chicago
today filed suit for an injunction
against Mr.. Burleson in the District
Supreme Court.
The company, which claims to have been
the lowest bidder. and to which no part
of the contract was given, seeks to enjoin
the Postmaster General from entering
into contracts with the companies named
in the report of the comittee of awards OF
the department.
The request is also made that the court
decree the awards null and void, and that
the department be required to accept the
bids Of the Chicago concern.
What the Law Requires.
The court is advised that the law un-
der which the bids were called for re-
qufres that contracts shall be awarded
on the basis Of cheapness and efficiency.
This basis has been disregarded by the
former officials of the department, it Is
alleged, and a letter received by the COM
pany from Daniel c. Roper, first assist
ant postmaster general, in response to a
protest from the company, declares that
closed, as the awards were based on a
report of the committee on awards and
approved by Mr.. Hitchcock February II,
1913.
Attorneys Douglas, Baker, Ruffin &
Obear represent the plaintiff.

TWO CURRENCY BILLS READY
 
 FOR SENATE

Washington, Nov. 19-What to do with the two currency reform bills now being completed by the two fac tions of the Senate banking com unit tee has begun to give serious concern to, Senate leaders. Both bills, one representing the administration views and the other the work of the Repub- 1ican committee members and Sena- tor. Hitchcock, probably will be ready for the Senate before the end of this week.
 As the committee is evenly divided, there can be no formal report upon the Glass bill which passed the House and neither of the new bills can be offered as a substitute with the en- dorsement of a majority of the conn mittee. Both factions of the commit tee are anxious to obtain whatever advantage there is to be had before the Senate and 1t will probably be agreed to return the House bill with out a report and submit the two new bills simultaneously as amendments.
 Efforts will then be made by some of the Republican members to have the Senate consider the currency bill item by item so that eac Inside will have 8 chance to advance it's amend n1ents and have them voted upon as the reading of the bill progresses in the Senate.
