FOR POST OFFICE RENTS
Jonathan Bourne, Jr., Wants
Amount Not Now Listed Debited
Against Service.

That the space used by the postal serv-
ice in federal buildings has a rental value
aggregating more than five and half
million dollars annually is shown
by statistics gathered by Jonathan
Bourne. IT.. chairman of the joint com
mittee on railway mail pay and second
class postage. This rental value has
never before been ascertained and has
never been considered in computing the
cost OF the postal service. In making
the figures public. Mr.. Bourne said:
Under present methods of post office
bookkeeping, if the government is paying
1900 a year for rent of quarters for a
post Office. that expenditure is charged
as an expense of the service. But if the
government eXpends $10OUOD for pub
lie building and locates the post office
therein, the rental charge ceases. show
ing, according 10 the books, decrease
of $1,000 in expenses. whereas, in fact, a
charge of 3 per cent interest on the in
vestment would equal the former rent.
No account has been kept of the rental
value of public buildings.

believing that definite information
should be available upon this subject. l
asked custodians of all federal buildings
to submit estimates of the rental value
of buildings under their jurisdiction. From
Information thus secured and with a
statement of the proportion of space
used bv the postal service, it was ascer-
tanned that the rental properly charge
able to the postal service is $5,514.79 in
the 10 buildings concerning which re-
ports were received l submit that in
telliyent business methods should require
that this amount be debited against the
postal service in addition to the $4.2S0 600
now debited for rental of buildings not

What They Expect to Prove.

The operators declared they expect to
prove that a conspiracy exists, in which
the United Mine Workers are the active
parties. for diminishing the competitive
ability of West Virginia coal in the
market. with the double purpose of de-
creasing the quantity and increasing the
prices of Goals which compete with West
Virginia therein. and that the troubles
in the Paint Creek and Cabin Creek
fields are the direct result of such con-
spiracy and the efforts of the United
Mine Workers to carry out the same.
The operators declared the: also expect
TO prove that firearms and ammunition
were brought into the state for acts
of lawlessness and violence.
The statement presented by the Paint
Creek Galleries Company made similar
denials and similar charges.
The committee began it's day in Charles
ton by a call of courtesy on Gov. Hat

tee room in the state capitol in which

clined. and occupied room at the Kama

The reporters dubbed him Lone Citizen
Lee" and put it in the papers, and from
that day to this Mr.. Lee has never missed
a session of council. Always he has oo-
cupied his seat and even the rule forbid

ran his practiced eye over the audience
and explained.
