seems to be in the air." according to
First Assistant Postmaster General Ro-
per's opinion. expressed this morning.
He said the Postmaster General, he
thought, had not as yet given such con-
sderation to the subject as to enable him
to outline at this time just what he might
say concerning 1t In his annual report.
''Mr. Burleson." he said, doubtless gave
the subject much consideration before he
came to the department. but I do not
believe he has yet reduced his convictions
upon the subject to concrete form. The
agitation has rather been at the other
end" meaning at the Capitol. land that
agitation will doubtless be felt in the
department.
In a Nebulous State.
Mr.. Burleson himself said he had moth
ing to say pro or con upon the subject at
this time. His messenger conveyed the
opinion that the subject, 80 far as the
Postmaster General was concerned, was
rather in a nebulous state It was learn
ed, however, that the department has
been giving some consideration to the
proposition. but with what probable re-
suit 1t does not care to divulge at present.
1t is not improbable that the Postmaster
Generals annual report. which will be
submitted to the President In time for his
message before the next session of Con-
gress, may contain recommendation or
a suggestion concerning the Incorporation
of the telegraph business into the postal
service.
